Cory's Crappy Cinema

been away for a while...

2010-11-21T01:14:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about this blog. I just havent had time to get on blogger lately. Mostly because I discovered Tumblr. For anyone who is interested, here is a link to my page over there. So far I have posted well over a hundred photos, and if you like it here, i am sure you will like it there! http://coryscrappycinema.tumblr.com/

Titles I can't believe are unavailable on DVD part 2!

2010-09-28T02:17:00.001-07:00

The Alchemist is actually one I have never seen, and also I never really hear anyone talking about it. So who knows if it's actually worthy of a disc release, but it's got really cool poster artwork, and I love anything even resembling a horror movie, so...sure bring it on!

Aaaahhhhhh yeah! Now we're talking! This is definitely on my short list of must haves. Another one that I own on VHS. It's so friggin bizarre it's hard to put it into words what it's about. But here goes: A young boy along with his punkrock sister and conspiracy theorist survival nut grandfather must survive the invasion of a disgusting mutant blob dog alien, that has been transported to their house by their swinger parent's new satelitte dish. Throw in a failed aliens rescuer who's head explodes inside his platic bubble helmet and a huge breasted Elvira clone named Medusa to complete the feeling you are watching a fever dream put to film. I LOVE this movie!

Considering how popular any and all slasher films are, I'm surprised this one has been ignored for so long. Erupting from the golden age of slasher movies, Curtains is a fairly decent film, even better than some of the other films of it's type that have seen a digital format release. Six women are in a house trying out for a part in a director's film despite the ravings of an aged actress past her prime who feels she is still perfect for the part. They are picked off one by one, and in classic slasher formula, it's left for the audience to figure out if the killer is the eccentric director, the failed actress, or one of the girls themselves cutting away the competition. Creepy dolls, and a killer in an old man mask with long white hair are the memorable visual cues in this forgotten slicer and dicer.

Even more on the way soon!

Titles I can't believe are unavailable on DVD...

2010-09-27T11:59:00.000-07:00

Considering the DVD format is slowly running out of steam, you would think it's because there is nothing left to put out as far as older catalog titles go. Well partly, that's accurate. But there are still a handful of genre titles that I can't believe are completely unavailable. Click on the movie posters for some gorgeous high quality scans courtesy of wrongsideoftheart.com

Believe it or not, this is my favorite adaptation of Clive Barker's works as it has the perfect mix of dark imagery, and blasphemous themes alongside the over the top nudity and gore missing from movies like Nightbreed. Hellraiser is fantastic, but it's SO dark that it usually fails in just simply entertaining me. I own this one on VHS but am scared to play it as I am sure the first time I try it will get eaten, or just disentegrate when the air hits it.

Ok, here is one that I can and have watched about 100 times. Really cartoonish and over the top, it has no gore except a small bit at the end, but it's the only movie in existence that shows exactly what the end result would be of a horny highschool professor that invents an invisibility formula. Absolutely overflowing with high quality tits and ass and it has some very nice casting choices for the girls: Debra Lamb, who if she had stayed with it could have had as big of a scream queen career as Michelle Bauer, Melissa Moore one of my favorites who can only be described as an amazon. Tall, and stacked. Also Shannon Wilsey, who was also the porn actress Savannah who tragically shot and killed herself after a disfiguring car crash in 1994. This is another I own on VHS and I simply treasure it!

Obviously meant to be a cash in on the Jaws craze, this I believe came out close to the release of Jaws 2. The monster is a giant carnivourous worm much like in Tremors, it's slithering grounds is a local beach where it burrows along until it finds sunbathers and then sucks them under the sand. It has the awesome tagline of "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water--you can't get to it." I remember the movie to be kind of boring, and the main character was a detective type that was kind of annoying but they made up for it by including John Saxon as well.

More to come soon!

Now it may seem like a lot of stations (and really, it is) but if you don't live within direct transmission of these specific channels, that means you are someone like myself that has to deal with the ridiculous FCC regulations that require you to obtain a waiver gaining you permission to have access to a channel from another area. Sometimes these waivers take up to 45 days to go through, and in a lot of cases are denied.

That is a problem in itself, but it's also compounded by the fact that the above list of channels only hit the internet 2 days ago which gives 75% of the human race no time at all to take the neccessary steps needed to see the show. I could have started this whole process a long time ago and be watching tonight, but nope, why should they care about something as pesky as ratings?

A further word of warning: If you are looking for the show in your program listings and cant locate it under Elvira, or Movie Macabre, try looking for Night Of The Living Dead. That will be the first movie Cassandra airs, and it has been reported that there has been problems with some markets listing the program under the title of the movie to be shown instead of Elvira's Movie Macabre. Hopefully that will be ironed out soon.

Congratulations to Cassandra Peterson and her continued success. The above photo was taken a few weeks ago, and it always amazes me how she can remain untouched by time for so long!!

Help I.D.'ing Eli Roth in Piranha 3D

2010-09-15T22:10:00.001-07:00

Hey I have looked all over the internet and cant find this info. Even imdb simply lists it as Wet Tshirt MC. I remeber his name (or at least what he was called by another character) as being really hilarious but I can't remember what it was. Can anyone help me figure it out?

wishing for horror dvd's...

2010-09-15T11:56:00.001-07:00

The DVD format must really be tanking. It's almost late September and this time last year we were all nearly buried with the amount of horror movies being released on DVD, not just new titles, but a large mountain of older, catalog titles.

This is the 2nd week in a row, that I have looked at Netflix's New This Week page, and there is not a single horror movie title in the bunch. WTF studios?!?! Halloween is just around the corner!

Let's step it the fuck up people!!!!!

Costume Quest available Halloween for PS3 and Xbox

2010-08-27T12:13:00.000-07:00

It may come as a surprise to all of you, (yeah right) that my favorite holiday of the year is Halloween. And with as great as it is, it has never really gotten the level of admiration that Christmas does. Although within recent years, October 31, and all its traditions and decorations seems to have jumped a quantum leap in recognition. I think the turning point was the huge success of Tim Burton's wonderful film Nightmare Before Christmas.

I already mentioned in my previous posts that AMC's The Walking Dead will premier on Halloween this year, and I just found out today that PS3 Network and Xbox Live will have the game Costume Quest available for download purchase only!

This is the first video game that actually has the holiday of Halloween and all of it's atmosphere and traditions as the main theme and focus of the story. You play small children who face a group of witches and monsters that are out to ruin All Hallow's Eve. Through practicing minigames like trick or treat, and bobbing for apples you gain RPG style experience and abilities that allow you to progress further.

And the most endearing part of it to me is that your characters are dressed in extremely homemade traditional costumes such as a robot made out of cardboard boxes, but you can gain powerups to transform your costume into it's ultimate imaginary ideal (such as in the screenshot above). This attention to making a game be all about children is something I find to be tremendously engaging as it is all too easy to look at Halloween anymore as an "adult" holiday filled with drunken parties and skanky outifts. Not that I have a problem with those things, but too much of old school Halloween activites are almost non existint lately.

The creator of the critically acclaimed Psychonauts from a couple years ago is behind this, and he has a reputation for very witty dialogue and fun gameplay style, so I have high hopes for this.

Check out the link to the main page here at costumequestgame.com. There isn't much there at the moment, but there is a preview video that should give everyone a very clear idea as to whether or not this is for you. Let me know what you think!

Not Of This Earth (1988) being re-released!

2010-08-25T23:17:00.000-07:00

According to Digital Bits, the next wave of Roger Corman's Cult Classics line available on November 2 will include a re-release of 1988's Not Of This Earth, which was the last nude apearance of Traci Lords before she went all serious on us.

This has been out of print on DVD for awhile but what makes this of more interest is that every one of these single title re-releases such as Piranha, Humanoids From The Deep, Forbidden World, etc. Have also had simultaneous Blu-Ray versions as well. The link to it on Amazon doesn't list Blu-Ray as an option, but hopefully that will change. Special features include the following:

New Interview With Traci Lords
New Commentary With Traci Lords And Director Jim Wynorski
Original Commentary With Director Jim Wynorski
Theatrical Trailer

So at least they made it worth a double dip for people like me that already own the original DVD

Also listed as a double feature disc coming out the same day is The Terror Within / Dead Space.

And as usual, anyone that buys anything from Amazon after clicking one of my links, helps me out as I get a small cut of what is ordered, so if you do, thanks!

On a side note, originally there was supposed to be a double feature release in October for Warrior and the Sorceress / Barbarian Queen, but I think that may have been cancelled due to problems regarding the unfortunate murder of actress Lana Clarkson a couple years ago.

AMC releases launch date and trailer for Walking Dead

2010-08-24T13:44:00.000-07:00

I know that everyone in the horror blogosphere will be posting this, but I figured, hey, why not me too?

I found out at Fear.net that AMC revealed that the 90 minute premiere of The Walking Dead will be on Halloween night at 10PM.

Along with this info they released the trailer that they showed at Comiccon this year. It is AMAZING. My expectations for this show were already through the roof before I saw a single frame of footage, and now I can't believe Halloween is still so far away. I am so excited for this series.

Check out the trailer below and share with me your thoughts!

Piranha 3D...Why is no one seeing this?

2010-08-22T22:01:00.001-07:00

Soooo I am coming out of my slack period in maintaining any semblance of regularity of posting to ask the following question:

Why in the FUCK is Piranha coming in 6th place on it's opening weekend, when it's major competition is Vampires Suck and LOTTERY TICKET?!?!

It's deja vu all over again, with the Weinstein curse in full effect. Just like with Grindhouse we are being given a treat of a movie that everyone is raving about, and is something that nobody has really been able to experience before: A fun, blood and tits filled movie that doesn't even make the attempt at being a serious film of any kind. It's something that most people have only experienced in a home video setting and even then it's the type of gonzo horror film that we haven't seen since the 80's era of Re-Animator and Humanoids From The Deep.

Everyone has been given this rave reviews. Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 81% fresh status as we speak, while Lottery Ticket is at 32% rotten and Vampires Suck is at an astonishly emberassing 3% rotten

Despite all of this, not nearly enough people are going to go see Piranha. WHY?!?! If you haven't seen it already please go see it, and bring someone with you. If you have already and enjoyed it, please go a second time if you can afford to do so. Because I really dont want the studios to see these box office numbers and give us another 3 years of PG-13 crap like Prom Night or The Messengers, or Shutter, or Mirrors or etc etc etc etc.

Anyone want to loan me $1.5 Million?

2010-05-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

Just found out that the house that inspired The Amityville Horror novel and film series is up for sale:

Here's the listing!

"It's a beautiful house, but the basement is a little cold," said agent Denise Mierzejewski, laughing.

Awesome beyond belief! I would buy it, and immediately restore the "eye" windows.

A Nightmare On Elm Street remake

2010-04-30T23:48:00.000-07:00

Well, the wife and I saw the Nightmare remake tonight, and what did I think about it? We raved about it all the way home. I loved it. Did it have a couple problems here and there? Yes, absolutely. But I was not expecting the level of crap being shoveled upon this film by not only professional reviews, but by bloggers within the horror fan community.

Granted, I have read a couple reviews that seem to like it almost as much as I did, but for the most part, either people hate it, or refuse to see it because they are dead set against it. Really? Come on, seriously?!?!

With as much crap as we had to endure throughout the last couple Nightmare films (not including New Nightmare) I can't believe ANYONE would have a problem either with this film being made, or with what the end results turned out to be. There is nothing that was either implied in interviews or trailers, nor actually produced in the new film that was even remotely as bad as what was done in Nightmare 5 and Freddy's Dead. Don't believe me? How about the power glove sequence?

I looked on Rotten Tomatoes and here is what I found out: currently the Nightmare remake is sitting at 15% on the tomatometer. Freddy's Dead is at 21% and Nightmare 5 is at 30%. Now I understand that all 3 of those figures means that all 3 are "rotten" based on the criteria of the site. BUT, numbers don't lie. It tells me that more people would rather see something like THIS in a Freddy movie:

Did everyone on the planet go batshit crazy and forget the possibilities of this franchise? Does everyone actually want Freddy Kreuger to be a Henny Youngman wannabe who constantly spouts bad pop culture reference jokes? By the end of the series, the character was so over saturated and so steeped in mediocrity that nobody was the least bit frightened by him. In fact we all rooted for him. I for one like my monsters to be monstrous I want my villains to be evil without any hope of sympathy from the audience, and finally I got that version of Freddy Kreuger for probably the first time since Nightmare 2.

There have been great remakes that have come out in recent years, specifically the Dawn Of The Dead, Texas Chainsaw was quite decent, and though I haven't seen it yet, I have heard very great things about Last House On The Left. People act like these remakes replace the original films. Almost as if every single print and cassette and DVD in the world is torched in a bonfire never to be seen again. Which is of course ridiculous. If you prefer the originals fine, go watch them all you want. If I had to make a choice between getting a sequal to a film series that already ended which would force me to endure continuity to some truly awful films, and getting a fresh start with hopes of making the franchise what it should have been in the first place, well, do the math people.

If movies like this end up not doing well, then we will be right back to having nothing but PG-13 thrillers and J-horror pablum spoon fed to us by the shovelfull in all of our multiplexes. You remember, just like everyone was bitching about a few years ago.

Or would you rather have something like this:

The Skeleton is back!!!

2010-04-29T21:15:00.000-07:00

Just discovered that Larry Blamire's great film The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra has it's first sequel coming out on DVD on 8/17/10. The Lost Skeleton Returns Again has nearly everyone from the original returning including the ultra sexy Jennifer Blaire as Animala! It is currently available for preorder at Amazon for %30 off at the bargain price of $10.49. Be sure to use the link below to order!

Also debuting on DVD the same day is Larry Blamire's other horror spoof Dark And Stormy Night. It appears to be a haunted house parody and I can't frigging wait. It is also available for preorder at $10.49. Order link is below!

The Human Centipede trailer

2010-04-06T22:22:00.001-07:00

Ok, how in the world is this movie not directed by David Cronenberg? This has his "body horror" stamp all over it. I can't wait to see this and support it as a theatrical release since it is not a sequal or a remake and looks very very horrifying, especially since the trailer implies that the disgusting premise actually happens to the characters. It's coming from IFC films though, so a full nationwide release is probably not in the cards. If you see it playing in your area, please go see it!

Easter Bunny horror film short

2010-04-04T18:47:00.000-07:00

I guess this is a couple years old but it's new to me and pretty damn creepy! It's of course making it's rounds on the interwebs today so I thought I would post it too.

Resident Evil: Afterlife trailer

2010-04-04T01:04:00.001-07:00

Thanks to zombiecommand.com for the heads up on this. Below is the HD trailer for the next Resident Evil film, this time in 3D (just like all films coming in the next year).

Remember when Resident Evil used to be about shooting Romero type zombies in an old spooky house? True, the films have never really embraced that aspect of the games, and have always been more stylized and glitzy, but my god this one looks like it wants to be The Matrix. Feh...I still can't wait to see Alice kicking ass again ^_^

Blogger's Block and Beware Blu-Ray

2010-02-26T13:37:00.000-08:00

I am currently working on a lengthy movie review post, but it seems to be taking me a little longer than it should, so I thought I would just do a couple quickie posts in the meantime.

My topic today is my love / hate of the Blu-Ray video format. I absolutely love the picture quality for these discs, but I wanted to warn people that if you are fans of special features, especially commentary tracks, you may want to learn a bit more about each and every Blu-Ray you pick up before selling your old DVD copies to FYE.

A great example is the newly released Cabin Fever. Keep in mind that the original release DVD was entirely on one single disc. And on that lone disc was a making of, a trailer, the Rotten Fruit series of animated shorts and 5 (count em) COMMENTARY TRACKS!!!

So imagine my surprise that I went in to Target the other day and saw the Blu-Ray disc in their new release section for the low low price of $14.99. Wow, I thought to myself what a bargain! I picked it up and out of habit immediately flipped it over to see what goodies it has. Ready??...It has all the aforementioned extras except for the 5 commentary tracks. WHAT!?!?! It does however have a brand new one on there from Eli Roth and the cast but would it have killed them to port over the ones from the DVD? What about all the extra space that the Blu-Ray fromat provides? They just decided to say "awww screw it nobody will even notice they're gone"? And consider this: since Cabin Fever is supposed to be a throwback to the '80s style of horror movies, then the pristine picture quality that Blu-Ray provides is kind of secondary when it comes to the extra features. Think about it. You almost want a blurrier grainier picture quality with this sort of flick.

This is a disturbing trend I have noticed lately. Although it doesn't seem to be that case with every movie that comes out (Shaun Of The Dead ported over every special feature and even had a couple small new ones), you do have to be careful of what you are buying if you are into this sort of stuff.

I also find it strange that this has not been considered by the studios: One of the primary reasons the DVD market bottomed out so quickly is that it became quite evident that people were collecting movies voraciously, now that a compact affordable format had proven successful. But like with any other collectible, shelf space becomes limited and runs out completely over time. DVD collections became too large to handle and so people started saying to themselves "Hmmmm, maybe I don't really need to own every season of Punky Brewster on DVD" which resulted in a huge plunge in sales over the last 2 years.

Having said that, what does that say for the people who decide they want to own an upgraded Blu-Ray of Oh, let's say George Romero's Dawn Of The Dead just for the spiffy visuals, but can't get rid of their 4 disc box set on DVD because of the plethora of stuff on it? It means that they keep both. And that means shelf space fills up that much faster. And that means that for the reason mentioned above, the Blu Ray format may not have the longevity that DVD had, or at the very least, won't get as many titles released on it.

For example, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever isn't being released on Blu-Ray. Yet. I guess they will wait til people have shelled out their cash for the DVD first and then put it out on Blu-Ray next year.

Wolfman (2010)

2010-02-12T22:54:00.000-08:00

Didn't really have time to post anything tonight, but after coming home from seeing The Wolfman I thought I would look on here to see what others think and to my surprise only Horror Movie A Day had anything to say so far on the movie.

Hopefully that means that everyone is busy seeing it right now. I know my theater was a packed house! This was the best werewolf movie I have ever seen. Seriously. Most of the changes that were made from the original make perfect sense and in my opinion are better, especially the time period and location of the film. There is one HUGE element of the movie that was added for this that wasn't really needed but was handled effectively. I won't say anything about it here just now as I don't want to spoil anything for those planning to go see it.

Fantastic production design, well timed jump scares scattered throughout, and rip roaring gore each and everytime the Wolfman is on screen.

And speaking of the gore, both it's level of violence and also Rick Baker's makeup design totally had me thinking that the spirit of Paul Naschy is alive and well. He would have loved this.

Please go see this and take someone you love with you for a Valentine's night out.

post birthday Amazon shopping spree

2010-02-05T03:18:00.000-08:00

Just got done spending all my Amazon giftcards I have been saving up and ordered the following: Final Fantasy XIII for PS3, Hardbodies DVD Collection, Horror Rises From The Tomb on DVD, Zombieland on Bluray, Jennifer's Body on Bluray, and Saw VI on Bluray.
Didnt get as much for my money this year, but a PS3 game and 3 blurays blow through the cash pretty quickly LOL
Sorry I have been absent from here for a while but January was a very stressful month for me. Earthquakes, a baby being born, visits from family, wife's coworker died, and I just spent 4 days in the hospital for the first time ever. I am hoping that I can now devote a little more time to the blog now that things have calmed down.
Thanks for your patience!!

Hey I am an award winner!!

RIP Dan O'Bannon

2009-12-19T02:59:00.000-08:00

Seems I'm late with this bit of news, and frankly I am getting tired of constantly learning of the deaths of genre greats this past year, but I was not about to ignore the passing of the writer of 2 of my favorite fright flicks. Dan O'Bannon has lost his 30 year battle with Crohn's disease. He is responsible for Lifeforce, one of my favorite guilty pleasures and Return Of The Living Dead, which stands today as one of the greatest zombie movies, wether you are looking at it as comedy or horror.
Thank you Dan, your rest is well deserved.

MMMMM...Reindeer meat....

2009-12-11T15:36:00.000-08:00

Considering I just lost one of my followers, I thought it was about time I posted again. Sorry I have been away. Holidays can get in the way sometimes.

Maybe what we need is a good old fashioned zombie outbreak during this time of year to kind of whittle down the pesky invasiveness of these holidays.

Luckily there is a movie on it's way that gives us just that. Entitled "12/24" It looks like a joyous time is to be had by all. Well, maybe not the characters in this film who will wind up in the bellies of the undead. Hee hee

Looks fun to me! Here is a link to their facebook page with more articles and videos to peruse: http://www.facebook.com/pages/1224-The-Movie/85707753364

Oh and before I forget, one of the stars is my fave scream queen Tiffany Shepis who seems determined to be in more movies than Brinke, Linnea, and Michelle combined.

Some of you would say that I'm just using this as an excuse to post pics of Tiffany and you may be right, but I honestly did try to find some more pics from the movie and came up empty except the one at the top. So, here's some more of the lovely Ms. Shepis...

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

2009-10-31T16:52:00.000-07:00

Here is a selection of spooky cartoons to enjoy. Please go out and trick or treat, go to a party, have a horror movie marathon with a loved one or do SOMETHING to celebrate the holiday!!!!

I will have another batch later tonight so hope everyone has fun!

Michael Dougherty involved in new Godzilla???

2009-10-19T15:36:00.000-07:00

A little while ago I posted a news item stating that Legendary Pictures was possibly going to restart the Godzilla franchise with a new American made and released film. While there was no more information than that, we may have another tidbit of info now.

I picked up the new issue of Rue Morgue Magazine this week (which is an amazing issue you should pick it up) and in an article on Michael Dougherty's long awaited film Trick 'R' Treat, was this final paragraph at the end:

"Every project I do goes back to what I was exposed to as a kid: X-Men, Superman, Halloween. I can't elaborate too much on my next film, but I'll just say my other passion growing up was Godzilla. I'm crossing off a checklist that I first wrote when I was about nine."

If both of these things mesh into what I'm thinking, then this will be a dream come true for myself and other Godzilla fans. I can't think of anyone more suited for the project other than Peter Jackson, and let's face it, that would never happen.

Demand to see Paranormal Activity in your area!

RIP: Dick Durock

2009-09-25T01:18:00.001-07:00

I found out this evening that actor and stuntman Dick Durock passed away last week from pancreatic cancer at the age of 72. He was mostly known for his role as Alec Holland, the Swamp Thing, in the Wes Craven film based on the DC comics character, as well as it's sequal Return Of Swamp Thing.

He was also heavily utilized as a stuntman and bit actor in the 80's on many TV shows as The Incredible Hulk, Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team.

It absolutely shocks me that I discovered this news from a toy blog that I peruse (thanks Toyriffic), but not anywhere else in all the dozens and dozens of horror blogs that I follow.
The Wes Craven movie wasn't fantastic, and the sequal was done for laughs, but no one can deny that it was Mr. Durock's acting that gave a sense of integrity to either of those films, especially in the first one. It was one of my favorite films as a child and I really thought the thankless job of having to act under all that latex and foam rubber was handled very well, and very professionally.

R.I.P. Dick Durock and thank you for my fond memories of bringing to life one of my favorite comic characters.

Wolfman Trailer

2009-08-20T12:23:00.001-07:00

This should go a very long way in relieving some of the fears brought on by a post I made a little while ago about Universal's intent to change the iconic look of this character.
Now that there is an actual full length trailer out that clearly shows what the Wolfman looks like, I feel any changes they make will be superficial at best.
Feast your eyes on this beautiful trailer!!!! In fact since imbedding the youtube player cuts off almost half of the frame of their HD videos, you owe it to yourself to use the link below to go directly to youtube and watch it in all its glory

(EDIT) Well, trust me it was great. Looks like the trailer has been pulled off of youtube. Sorry folks

Artist spotlight: Bryan Baugh

2009-08-15T00:55:00.000-07:00

Thought I would do something a little different tonight and direct all of your attention to an artist that I have been a big fan of for about a year now, Bryan Baugh. His works are in the vein of EC Comics mixed with the blood and babes of classic and current horror movies. He cites Bernie Wrightson and Jack Davis as inspirations, and you can absolutely see a lot of Jack Davis influence in his linework. Most of Wrightson's influence is noticeable in his composition and the design of his creatures, especially rotting shambling corpses. His pieces are fantastic in black and white, but what I'm also a huge fan of is his colored work. Bright and vibrant when they need to be, and murky and dark when it's called for. There are so many to choose from this will be kind of a long post because I could't narrow down what I wanted to include here.
Clicking on any of the images will blow them up to their full resolution. I highly reccomend it to see all the detail in these.

I love the computer coloring in this adding the shadow of the floor grates on to everyone. It really punches it up and makes the light source coming from underneath very obvious.

Let's hope the new Wolf Man movie has a creature that looks this good. One of my favorite classic monsters and one of my favorite pieces from Bryan.

Absolutely perfect colors on this lots of darkness reminding you of where the crate was located in the film, in a deep dark corner underneath the stairs, and then a BLAST of bright red and blue colors right before she gets bitten. Incredible!

This one has everything that made the movie so fantastic, and quite fitting that Mathilda May is the center of the piece.

I would LOVE to have both of Bryan's Creature pieces on aqua colored t-shirts that match the backround of each piece and on the back in huge lettering, have the Creature From The Black Lagoon title logo. Both of these are so beautiful.

I love all the gonzo elements in this that remind me of how friggin wild this movie was, right down to Meg's blood slobbered nips!

Like I said there were so many to choose from and there is at least twice this, if you want to check out his Deviantart page at http://bryanbaugh.deviantart.com/ He is also being spotlighted in the 25th issue of the comic book Hack And Slash, which is a title that everyone should already be picking up anyway. If you're not, what are you waiting for!?!?!

Possible relaunch of Godzilla for US?!?!?!

2009-08-13T14:04:00.001-07:00

According to Monster Island News it's been revealed that Legendary Pictures is in the process of producing a relaunch of the Godzilla franchise for US theatrical release.

Absolutely nothing else is known at this time, not even whether or not they would be starting from scratch with an eentirely new concept or giving us a sequal to the abysmal film by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin a few years back

I find this to be very exciting news as anything the studio would do would be a vast improvement on the last American movie and I'm sure that Legendary Pictures is aware of the level of hatred Godzilla fans have for that film, so here's hoping they do it right. And by right I mean have it look like Godzilla for starters (see above) and have it be a serious movie. Tragic and a little scary.

Can't wait to get more and more news on this as it develops

The Collector

2009-07-31T23:25:00.000-07:00

So I was just last week bemoaning the fact that small but excellent independant horror films are not getting theatrical releases. Brilliant films such as Rogue, and Midnight Meat Train are getting sent straight to DVD despite great reviews from critics and preview audiences alike.

Maybe that is slowly changing...and if it is, then this film should truly start the ball rolling!

This was such a pleasant surprise for the wife and I, that we couldn't believe it. Truly suspenseful with lots of cringeworthy gore, violent inventive deaths, a creepy as hell villain, a hero character that hasn't really been done before, a great great nude scene, and perfect use of sound design including a music score comprised of ambient sounds, and the use of Bauhaus' Bela Lugosi's Dead.

A perfect mix of a first time director getting to stretch his wings and show what he can do, coupled with a great scriptwriting team who gave us Feast and Saw IV-VI.

PLEASE support horror this weekend, especially independant horror, and go see this movie. I would let slip a couple of the nicer setpieces of the movie but I knew very little going into this and I think it would work best for others if they did the same

Enjoy, and as always let me know what you think!

Universal's Wolf Man postponed...AGAIN

2009-07-29T14:54:00.000-07:00

Just found out from Ken at Monster Island News that Universal has changed the release date for their Wolf Man remake for the astonishing 4th TIME, now coming out in February instead of November to avoid competition with the Twilight sequal. As if that wasn't bad enough, they are taking "advantage" of the time in between to add new special effects scenes that will change the title creature from the original Lon Chaney type 2 legged creature to a 4 legged one that will more resemble a wolf.

I can't for the life of me understand the need for this change. This is right up there with all the changes to the character of Godzilla in his Tri-Star remake years back. If you are going to alter things that much, why bother calling it The Wolf Man? It also seems like an insult to Rick Baker's talents and efforts who had designed an amazing tribute to the makeup of the original film, not to mention that Universal has already posted lots of publicity photos of the original look over the past year or so (remember, this was supposed to be out 2 years ago!!!)

Hopefully this news is a little premature and it won't be that radical of a difference. I wouldn't mind if the character de-evolved over the course of the film with the 4 legged animal only being in the last 10 minutes or so. Also if they play up the tragic romance of the storyline, the move to February may be a great idea, making it a Valentine's Day release would be perfect strategy for the studio.

What's everyone think?

New stuff

2009-07-27T14:48:00.000-07:00

Added some items to the page over the past few days, including about 35 more tracks on the music player including the theme song to the original Prom Night which blew me away that I could find that! Also added more to the always updated list of blogs that would be of interest to anyone that comes here. Please check them often as I will be adding more. Lastly near the top of the page I put in a Netflix widget that shows 10 random titles from my Qeue list. Check it out and let me know what I should watch next!

Review: BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB

2009-07-22T00:30:00.000-07:00

So it seems like I've been on a mummy bender lately, and I've seen about 6 or 7 of these in the past few weeks. I noticed I had never seen this before, hell I had never even seen a trailer for it. but, it was a Hammer picture, albeit a late entry for the studio, so I thought it would be a fun one to get me back in the game of reviewing.

A word of warning afendi, this falls in that despised category of mummy films (at least despised to me). In other words, it is a mummy film without a mummy in it. When you sit down in your carsophagus with a bowl of tana leaves to snack on and pop in any movie with the word Mummy in the title, what you are expecting to see is a guy in a red fez and a pencil thin moustache directing an unstoppable shambling corpse wrapped in moldy bandages, that goes around strangling anyone who gets in it's way. This one, however is primarily about reincarnation and the paranormal acquisiton of artifacts.

Having said that, I will remind you that this is a Hammer Studios Production, so there is a level of quality to this that saves it. It was released in 1971 and appears to take place roughly in that time period, so I was expecting the groovy mad mod feel to their later films that ruined the Dracula series (for a perfect example of this go see Dracula A.D. 1972) Fortunately it still looked and felt like the gothic masterpieces that Hammer excels in.

Also what Hammer was known for at the time was their films becoming increasingly sexier and gorier in an effort to keep people coming to see their films, so there is quite a bit of tame gore in this in the form of severed hands, bleeding stumps and torn throats. As for the sexy side of things within 1 second of the opening credits finishing we are treated to the heaving bosum of Valerie Leon whose credits include a few of the british Carry On series of films, and Queen Kong. This girl has the best cleavage I have ever seen in a Hammer film, and she personally saved the movie for me.

It is a fairly interesting story and visually it tried to be more than what it was so it fit the bill for an entertaining diversion, but without any major stars such as Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee (Hell, it doesn't even have Michael Ripper in it), it just seems to fall a little flat...except in the case of Valerie Leon.

So where can you see this if you so choose to? Well, unfortunately it appears to be out of print at the moment. It is available on Netflix, which is where I got it, or you can try finding a local video store that has a copy for rent. I included the Amazon link below, as it looks like a few people have copies for sale there, and it doesn't yet appear to cost a Pharoah's ransom compared to the cost of most out of print titles I've seen.

So I am always searching for people's input here and I know there aren't too many people that come here yet, but if you have any thoughts or comments on this flick or any others let me know, or just drop me a comment to talk about anything you want. Constructive criticism is welcome!

suspended animation

2009-07-16T02:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, it's been brought to my attention (finally by someone other than myself) that the 7 months since my last update to this blog is long enough of a break. Having said that, I am going to take advantage of my abundant free time, to make this a somewhat fun place to be to the 2 people who may randomly stop in to see it (Hi Jessica and Vanessa ^_^)
I'm going to assume that since it's come and gone in theaters, and is now available on DVD that everyone has seen My Bloody Valentine 3-D, so I won't bother with the review I was going to do for it except to say I loved it, and if you haven't seen it, go buy it and watch it! BUT don't bother watching it in 3-D at home. That still hasn't been perfected yet.
SO! While I am thinking of some fun things to do to spruce up the joint, I'm going to ask my immense fanbase if there is anything they wish me to write about? Any movies that you're curious about and want a review for? Is there anything you've seen lately that you enjoyed and recommend?

My Bloody Valentine 3-D

2009-01-17T03:46:00.000-08:00

I'm going to see My Bloody Valentine tomorrow, but since I live 500 miles from a decent movie theater, I have to see it in traditional 2-D :( I'll write up a review for it tomorror night! Check out the trailer, and also, use the link below to get the uncut special edition of the original that came out this week!

Twilight on DVD

2009-01-15T02:29:00.000-08:00

Well, for better or worse, it's coming out on DVD. This is one of those movies where the people who are tremendous fanatics of the books, are incredibly thrilled with how the movie turned out, just because it's Twilight. As long as it provided more merchandising to buy at Hot Topic for the next year, it could do no wrong.
Does that make it a bad movie in my eyes? No, actually I kind of enjoyed it. Did they do things wrong in it? Of course they did it's a movie adaptation of a popular book. That goes without saying. But it was entertaining, and there was a couple of elements of the book that they actually improved on, for instance actually being able to witness the fight at the climax and introducing the bad guys as a viable threat early on instead of in the last 15 minutes.
Things that they really didn't do well with was the visual of Edward in the sun, Bella's rush to blind trust in Edward, and the actual casting of Edward himself. I'm sorry but the guy was far from the beautiful thing that he was supposed to be. He looked like a freaking zombie in most shots, especially next to the rest of his family.
But overall, they did a fairly good job on it, especially the visuals. I understand that the director will not be coming back for the officially greenlit sequal, which can only hurt the project I think.
What's everyone else's take on it?

R.I.P. Betty Page

2008-12-11T23:02:00.000-08:00

As a follow up to my post last week, here is news of betty's passing:

LOS ANGELES – Bettie Page, the 1950s secretary-turned-model whose controverisal photographs in skimpy attire or none at all helped set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution, died Thursday. She was 85.

Page suffered a heart attack last week in Los Angeles and never regained consciousness, her agent Mark Roesler said. Before the heart attack, Page had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia.

"She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality," Roesler said. "She is the embodiment of beauty.
"
Page, who was also known as Betty, attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure in bikinis and see-through lingerie that were quickly tacked up on walls in military barracks, garages and elsewhere, where they remained for years.

Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.

The latter helped contribute to her mysterious disappearance from the public eye, which lasted decades and included years during which she battled mental illness and became a born-again Christian.

After resurfacing in the 1990s, she occasionally granted interviews but refused to allow her picture to be taken.

"I don't want to be photographed in my old age," she told an interviewer in 1998. "I feel the same way with old movie stars. ... It makes me sad. We want to remember them when they were young.
"

The 21st century indeed had people remembering her just as she was. She became the subject of songs, biographies, Web sites, comic books, movies and documentaries. A new generation of fans bought thousands of copies of her photos, and some feminists hailed her as a pioneer of women's liberation.

Gretchen Mol portrayed her in 2005's "The Notorious Bettie Page" and Paige Richards had the role in 2004's "Bettie Page: Dark Angel." Page herself took part in the 1998 documentary "Betty Page: Pinup Queen.
"

Her career began one day in October 1950 when she took a respite from her job as a secretary in a New York office for a walk along the beach at Coney Island. An amateur photographer named Jerry Tibbs admired the 27-year-old's firm, curvy body and asked her to pose.

Looking back on the career that followed, she told Playboy in 1998, "I never thought it was shameful. I felt normal. It's just that it was much better than pounding a typewriter eight hours a day, which gets monotonous.
"

Nudity didn't bother her, she said, explaining: "God approves of nudity. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they were naked as jaybirds.
"

In 1951, Page fell under the influence of a photographer and his sister who specialized in S&M. They cut her hair into the dark bangs that became her signature and posed her in spiked heels and little else. She was photographed with a whip in her hand, and in one session she was spread-eagled between two trees, her feet dangling.

"I thought my arms and legs would come out of their sockets," she said later.

Moralists denounced the photos as perversion, and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, Page's home state, launched a congressional investigation.

Page quickly retreated from public view, later saying she was hounded by federal agents who waved her nude photos in her face. She also said she believed that, at age 34, her days as "the girl with the perfect figure" were nearly over.

She moved to Florida in 1957 and married a much younger man, as an early marriage to her high school sweetheart had ended in divorce.

Her second marriage also failed, as did a third, and she suffered a nervous breakdown.

In 1959, she was lying on a sea wall in Key West when she saw a church with a white neon cross on top. She walked inside and became a born-again Christian.

After attending Bible school, she wanted to serve as a missionary but was turned down because she had been divorced. Instead, she worked full-time for evangelist Billy Graham's ministry.

A move to Southern California in 1979 brought more troubles.

She was arrested after an altercation with her landlady, and doctors who examined her determined she had acute schizophrenia. She spent 20 months in a state mental hospital in San Bernardino.

A fight with another landlord resulted in her arrest, but she was found not guilty because of insanity. She was placed under state supervision for eight years.

"She had a very turbulent life," Todd Mueller, a family friend and autograph seller, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "She had a temper to her.
"

Mueller said he first met Page after tracking her down in the 1990s and persuaded her to do an autograph signing event.

He said she was a hit and sold about 3,000 autographs, usually for $200 to $300 each.

"Eleanor Roosevelt, we got $40 to $50. ... Bettie Page outsells them all," he told The AP last week.

Born April 22, 1923, in Nashville, Tenn., Page said she grew up in a family so poor "we were lucky to get an orange in our Christmas stockings.
"

The family included three boys and three girls, and Page said her father molested all of the girls.

After the Pages moved to Houston, her father decided to return to Tennessee and stole a police car for the trip. He was sent to prison, and for a time Betty lived in an orphanage.

In her teens she acted in high school plays, going on to study drama in New York and win a screen test from 20th Century Fox before her modeling career took off.

And the hits just keep coming...

2008-12-07T01:41:00.000-08:00

After being in the hospital for pneumonia the past couple weeks, Pinup Queen Betty Page has had a heart attack and is currently comatose and listed as in critical condition. Please include her in your prayers tonight.

R.I.P. Uncle Forry

Forrest J. Ackerman, the creator of Famous Monsters Of Filmland Magazine, collector and archivist of the history of fantastic films, creator of the comics character Vampirella, inspiration to such people as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Stephen King, and a personal friend to every fan of horror and science fiction whether you have met him or not, has passed away. He has spent his last few weeks bedridden at home, refusing pain medication so he could be lucid enough to respond to fan emails, and to be able to say goodbye to as many of his "nieces and nephews" as he could. No one can ever replace him, and he will always be missed.

Previews of coming attractions 12-2-08

2008-12-04T21:40:00.000-08:00

Here's a listing of genre related titles coming out on DVD for December 2nd!
My personal pick of the week is Wanted, extremely loosely based on the incredible comic series by mark Millar, this movie takes the story in a much different direction (not a mention of superheroes or supervillains) yet maintains the same level of thought provoking originality. This was a must see on the big screen and if you've waited till now to see it you'll be kicking yourself that you didn't go.

Also coming out Tuesday:

Hello, boils and ghouls!!

2008-12-03T02:05:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to post SOMETHING on here tonight after spending the last couple hours playing around with the various widgets and fonts and other blog programming thingamajiggers.

Hopefully this will be something I really get into and will be adding to all the time. My goal is to make this a place for friends to come and read reviews and thoughts on B-movies and to contribute with similar ideas and thoughts.

I also will be partnering with Amazon.com in their associates program. What's that mean you ask? Well over to your right...no, your other right. ye- uh back...THERE on your right is an example of a handy Amazon widgit that will have reccomended titles and such. Any time you click on any of my links to the page, I get a small cut of everything that is purchased on the website that day. That being said, if anyone that regularly comes here and enjoys my page, would be kind enough to use it I would be greatly pleased.

I will be playing around with things here for a little while until I get the hang of how to operate everything and then hopefully start adding material soon.

Have fun, fiends!
