The lovely month of February is rife with horror history and releases. This little month has seen an interesting collection of titles released within its boundaries. Ill-fated pop star, Aaliyah stared in the film version of the Anne Rice story The Queen of the Damned. While it received mixed reviews at best, the film is remembered for being the star’s only film. We also know that Julia Robert’s high-brow attempt into the genre as Dr. Jeckyll’s chambermaid in Mary Reilly. Of course this was also the week that saw the return of Toxie himself in The Toxic Avenger part 2!
