B MOVIE NIGHTMARE WILL RETURN IN TWO WEEKS WITH MORE NEW REVIEWS! 

BACK SOON

B MOVIE NIGHTMARE will be back soon with all-new reviews of movies and books! 

B MOVIE NIGHTMARE: THE BOOK

B MOVIE NIGHTMARE: B Movies and Genre Films from Monsters to Spies. William Schoell.

Here it is! My first collection of reviews taken not from this blog, but from GREAT OLD MOVIES -- these reviews were originally posted many years ago. There are sections on horror films; sci fi films; movies of intrigue and suspense, including film noir; cliffhanger serials; monster movies; B movie series (Crime Doctor, Nancy Drew etc.); TV shows; exploitation films (admittedly the shortest section in the book); spies; and Alfred Hitchcock. Admittedly, Hitch rarely made a "B" movie but the book, like this blog, also covers genre movies from A to Z. The films are listed in chronological order in each section, and there are movie stills as well. Available in the following formats: Kindle, trade paperback, and hardcover. You can buy this book on Amazon.

BACK SOON

Vacation and finishing up some projects took up too much time this month, but B MOVIE NIGHTMARE will be back in a couple of weeks. 

NEW PROJECTS

Polishing up some exciting new projects. B MOVIE NIGHTMARE will return in July, if not sooner!

If you can do without the Covid crowds just stay home on Halloween and watch some good -- or so bad they're good -- horror movies. This week we've got a fresh crop of films to watch and books to read on both this blog -- and in a few days -- Great Old Movies as well.

WELCOME!

I have been doing the Great Old Movies blog for about ten years -- covering all kinds of movies (primarily but not limited to those that are twenty-five years old) -- but much of the material I have covered can't necessarily be considered "great" nor especially classic. Of course, there are two things to remember: some acclaimed classic films with major stars don't wear well and may actually be rather poor (as you can tell if you've read my blog); and there are lots of "B" movies and genre films, as well as old TV shows, that are excellent. So B Movie Nightmare will be the sister blog to Great Old Movies, focusing on genre films (horror, sci-fi, fantasy, crime and detective, etc.), exploitation items, old, often-forgotten TV shows, and all the stuff that may not necessarily qualify as a "great old movie" but, conversely, may not be that bad at all. In addition, B Movie Nightmare will cover films, TV (as well as the occasional non-fiction book and novel) from all decades, even if I will concentrate primarily on older material. And, of course, I will cover the stinkers, hopefully in amusing fashion. 

Depending on my schedule, B Movie Nightmare will at first come out on a monthly basis, generally the last week of the month, while the first three weeks will be given over to Great Old Movies, (although it is possible that GOM may eventually go on a bi-weekly/twice monthly schedule). This is subject to change.
