Searching the Stacks at The Haunted Library with Glenn Tolle
The Haunted Cinema (THC) – When I told Ghastly that we were interviewing the Glenn Tolle, Head Librarian at The One Room Haunted Library, he was so excited I couldn’t get any work out of him (although now that I think about it, I rarely get any work out of him). Were books your gateway…

Grimmly's Reel Reviews
Spookshow Sideshows – The Funhouse (1981)
While not completely forgotten, The Funhouse has never quite gotten the attention of Tobe Hooper films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Poltergeist, often getting lumped in with serviceable ‘80s horrors of the Prom Night variety. It never got a sequel, and didn’t produce a fan-favorite villain, but it does include a lot of amazing,…

By Kevin Nickelson For as long as I can remember, my passion for horror films has invaded every aspect of my life and has been known to overwhelm me at some of the oddest times of the year. Even more oddly is my disdain for patterns as to what I watch in the horror realm…

Midnight Mass departs from the ghost story themes of the first stories to delve into a more physical horror. Some will argue; however,…
About The Haunted Cinema
The Haunted Cinema started out as a hobby website to display vintage cinema posters, but has grown into a review and interview hub for enthusiasts of the Horror/Sci-fi movie genres. Our content is in the same vein as old-school horror host greats such as Elvira & The Ghoul.
Meet the Team
Ghastly
Our Undead, rather, Head Usher. He keeps things running smoothly (mostly) in the cinema and makes sure that our guests are creepy and comfy.
Grimmly
Part Mad Scientist, part Mad Projectionist. He is responsible for the scares on the screen. He puts the “Haunted” in The Haunted Cinema.
Nosferella
From dusk till dawn (she’s allergic to sunlight), she handles all of our patron’s snack needs at our candy counter. She’s always looking for someone to stop by for a “bite”.
The Gallery
The Haunted Cinema is more than just movies. We also have a wonderful and spooky collection of posters, sculptures, masks, and more. We are passionate about the genre in all its forms and want to share that love with you. Check back often as there is always something new to see.
