Keeping your ear holes busy
I know, I know--you came here to read, not to listen. Well, let's compromise: Read about listening, and then do what you will! Hopefully what you will do will be checking out the latest episode of the esteemèd podcast The Faculty of Horror, which features moi talking with
It's that time of the month, by which I mean it's that time of the year
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE While it is still so hot and humid outside that one feels as if one lives all snuggled-n-tucked up underneath Satan's ballsack, I recently bought not one but TWO bags of pumpkin spice coffee in preparation for the forthcoming season. That's right, I
Chilling Classics Cthursday: A BUCKET OF BLOOD (1959)
If you're still wigged out over the black-n-white beatnik-n-bongos stylings of previous Chilling Classic The Bloody Brood, well you're about to blow your jets, daddy-o, because today we're heading back to the café and diving into A Bucket of Blood. There ain't
Chilling Classics Cthursday: THE COLD (1984)
Aw yeah baby, I've been waiting for this movie's number to come up: It's The Cold, another "$50,000 wonder" from Wisconsin's own Bill Rebane. You might remember him from an earlier Chilling Classique, the train station-space virus-quarantine flick The
Chilling Classics Cthursday: DEVIL TIMES FIVE (1974)
Ah, well, if it isn't Devil Times Five. We've met before, you and I, 'round about fifteen years or so ago--yep, in the early years of this here blog. In the era when I first gave a peep-see to many a movie from the Mill
Chilling Classics Cthursday: DEATH RAGE (1976)
I know, I know. You probably saw the title Death Rage and thought "Oh dip! You're telling me there was a Ju-on precursor made in 1976?" I thought the same thing! But no, this movie has nothing to do with Ju-on or people dying in the
Chilling Classics Cthursday: HORROR EXPRESS (1972)
Spanish delight Horror Express chugga choo-chooed into my heart during that mysterious time known as "2010." I didn't watch the Mill Creek version at the time, but I'm sure the quality was about on par with the Chilling Classics edition: it was one of
Chilling Classics Cthursday: MAN IN THE ATTIC (1953)
They say that the only constant is change, so I'm starting with the man in the attic. I'm asking him to change his ways. No message could've been any clearer: if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at
Chilling Classics Cthursday: THE DEVIL'S HAND (1961)
Got a li'l treat this week with The Devil's Hand, a film that would be at home as the superior half of a drive-in double feature with another Chilling Classic, I Eat Your Skin. The two share a kind of early 60s feel, although The Devil&
Chilling Classics Cthursday: HAUNTS (1976)
I'm thanking my big bowl of lucky stars that it took me until this very week to get around to the 1976 film Haunts, because I'm sure I wouldn't have given it a fair shake. Given it's a film from Herb Freed
Chilling Classics Cthursday: NAKED MASSACRE (1976)
Sigh. Honestly, when I read the synopsis on the sleeve of this week's Chilling Classic, I should have said "no thank you, taking the week off, everyone!" In Belfast, a group of eight nurses share a home while working at various hospitals and clinics throughout the
Chilling Classics Cthursday: THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD (1978)
When it was decided by a roll of the click of the mouse on a random number generator that this week's Chilling Classic would be the anthology film The House of the Dead, I had a big, profound thought. That big, profound thought was "Oh yeah, I
