Happy 30th Anniversary to Tremors 2: Aftershocks! 🎉🪱
On April 9, 1996, one of the greatest direct-to-video sequels ever hit the shelves and proved that the Tremors franchise still had plenty of life (and underground monsters) left in it.
After the events of the first film, Earl Bassett (Fred Ward) is back — this time teaming up with the hilarious Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and a new crew to take on a whole new breed of Graboids in a remote Mexican oil field. We got smarter, faster Shriekers, explosive action, desert vibes, and that signature Tremors blend of horror, comedy, and heart that made the original so special.
Tremors 2 didn’t just continue the story — it expanded the universe in the best way possible. It showed that these movies could keep evolving while staying true to what fans loved: practical effects, unforgettable characters, and giant killer worms that just won’t stay dead.
Thirty years later, it still holds up amazingly well. The practical creature work is still impressive, the one-liners are still quotable, and the chemistry between Fred Ward and Michael Gross remains pure gold.
If you haven’t rewatched it in a while, today is the perfect excuse. Grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and prepare to be grabbed… again.
Here’s to 30 years of Tremors 2: Aftershocks — may the Graboids keep shaking things up for many more anniversaries to come!

🍻🧟♂️ Exactly 22 years ago today — April 9, 2004 — Shaun of the Dead burst onto our screens and instantly became a comedy classic.
Directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright & Simon Pegg, and starring Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, and the legendary Bill Nighy, this film took the zombie genre, mixed it with sharp British wit, awkward romance, and proper pub culture, and created something truly special: the first (and still best) rom-zom-com.
What makes Shaun of the Dead so brilliant isn’t just the hilarious one-liners (“You’ve got red on you”), the perfectly choreographed fights with garden tools and vinyl records, or the emotional gut-punches hidden between the laughs. It’s how it perfectly captures that very British attitude of “keep calm and carry on” even when the dead are eating your neighbours.
From the opening pub scene to the heartbreaking moments in the garden shed, the film balances laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine heart and horror in a way that very few movies have ever managed.
22 years later, it still holds up perfectly. The jokes are still fresh, the characters still feel real, and the message — that sometimes the real monsters aren’t the zombies… it’s the mundane life we’re stuck in — still hits hard.
So raise a pint (or a Cornetto) to Shaun, Ed, Liz, and the whole gang.
To one of the greatest debut features in modern cinema.
Happy 22nd Birthday, Shaun of the Dead! 🍺🧟♂️

Today, April 8th, marks 32 years since the release of Leprechaun 2 (1994) in US theaters!
On this very day in 1994, audiences first saw the sequel to the cult horror comedy starring Warwick Davis as the cunning and bloodthirsty leprechaun. Following the events of the first film, the villain returns to modern-day Los Angeles to find a bride—a descendant of the girl who once rejected him a thousand years ago in Ireland.
The film is full of dark humor, grotesque murders, practical effects, and the leprechaun's signature rhyming jokes. Director Rodman Flender and screenwriters Turi Meyer and Al Septién added even more madness, and Warwick Davis once again stole the show—his leprechaun is even more malicious and dangerous. Although the film was panned by critics, it's a true gem for fans of '90s B-horror: bright, bold, and unashamed of its silliness. It's the last Leprechaun to be released in wide release (the subsequent installments went straight to video).
Who saw it? Which moment was most memorable—the one with the lawnmower, the safe, or the gold coins? 😈
