What happens when best selling horror author, dreamweaver, visionary (plus actor), Garth Marenghi turns his power to terrify to the small screen in true auter fashion?



Darkplace. That's what happenes!

Sadly, Marenghi's magnum opus was simply too terrifying to viewers to watch and retain their sanity, and he, and... Continue »

This movie really runs the gamut, from really demented and disturbing to really demented and hilarious. The Jim Parsons scene was the funniest, I thought. You could definitely argue about that, because there are several extremely funny scenes, but this is the one that my mind goes back to the most, as the one that cheers me up and just makes me laugh. It might not be funny unless you have watched the scenes leading up to it, because there's just so much carnage and mayhem in the preceding sce... Continue »

Anyone here seen Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films yet? If not, you must! It's quite the excellent documentary on Cannon Films and Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, the two men who ran it. Sure, a lot of what they distributed was considered trashy and their repuation in Hollywood was poor, but the doc makes apparent their love and passion for film and the industry as a whole. While Golan and Globus themselves aren't featured in it, a lot of people who worked with the... Continue »

Word up, homos. With the rec challenge nearly finished over on IMDb, I was wondering who'd be up for something similar here? You'd be up for it, that's who.

There's a couple of advantages to having a challenge here rather than IMDb:
1. Less participants. Prolly only a half dozen or so of us would join in. Dat means, with 5 or 6 recs each, there'd only be a max 25-30 movies to watch over the span of a year. Easy peasy.
2. We all have fairly similar taste, meaning a high hit-rate for movies... Continue »

I was just thinking, over the past few days, what a great line that is. Most of you probably already recognized it, from.... wait for it... the Aileen Wuornos movie Monster, in which Charlize Theron proved that she is not merely a paltry, run of the mill mega-babe, but one hell of an actress.

Seriously, isn't that a great line? It is under-appreciated, I think. There should be t-shirts and coffee mugs with that line, all over the place, even now, 12-14-ish years later, or whatever. In... Continue »

I'm so glad I found this. It's a movie made by the characters in "It's Always Sunny". A real piece of trash!

Has anyone scene this, I can't believe I watched the whole 4 hour Doc. A lot of interesting stuff.

Are anybody else voting for the Chainsaw Awards over at Fangoria?

I actually think the nominees looks pretty good, it's not just the same mainstream movies, that are nominated in all the categories, like you see most times, when people can vote for these things.

I've decided to take it pretty serious and see all the movies, that are nominated in any of the categories, I have already seen many of them, but I haven't seen Ouija: Origin of Evil, The Similars, Baskin, Under the Shadow, The Aut... Continue »

They're gone. All gone. /sniff

Topless in the Rob Zombie movie or in the clown costume?

Donald Pleasence looks like a turtle. Like Rafael in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Dr. Loomis even wears a similar coat, to hide his half shell. To public knowledge, he didn't know martial arts, despite his best efforts to teach a dear patient of his the secrets of ninja prowess.

"I spent eight years trying to teach him kung fu, and then another seven trying to keep him in a bullet proof vest because I learned that he would not dodge bullets." - Loomis in a Half Shell

While Michael Myers could move about in stealth, he expressed no desires to maneuver quickly in plain sight, and was thus susceptible to several gunshots. Of course, turtles in time live long and prosper, though Donald Pleasence died in 1995. Had he lived long enough to experience the mass hysteria known as "Halloween: Resurrection", he'd probably be very confounded if he saw Busta Rhymes pretending he knew kung fu, pretending to be Michael Myers, and maybe even pretending to be Michael Myers doing kung fu. Now, for God's sake, he can do kung fu?!

"He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons!" - Loomis Rolling Over in his Grave

So naturally, if Donald Pleasence is a turtle, then that explains how Dr. Loomis survived the explosion in Halloween II. He ducked into his shell. The senile doctor ninja aspect of his character also explained his axe-throwing abilities, as demonstrated in "Prince of Darkness". However, his character of Leo in "Alone in the Dark" is likely coincidental, as the film came out before TMNT even existed, though with obvious similarities, Kevin Eastman was surely inspired by Donald's turtle-like aesthetic and ninja abilities.

I've got a retarded, autistic, bi-polar, OCD, insomniac 10-year-old nephew I've got to take care of, and he's getting psychotic because he hasn't been medicated in weeks. He throws tantrums and screams like he's possessed by the devil, EVERY FUCKING DAY.

However, Child Protective Services wont let him get any medical coverage within 50 miles of here until they finish their "investigation" on this whole incident. More however is that they saw him being a fussy bastard today and decided to delay things even further, just because they're a bunch of miserable sadistic pricks who get paid thousands of dollars a month to do not a god damn thing.

Child Protective Services can suck my nuts!

When most people familiar with video games think of movies turned into video games, they shudder a little. They don't have the best reputation. Back in the '80s and '90s, if it was a movie, odds were, a shitty video game tie-in would follow. The Angry Video Game Nerd has covered quite a few of them.

What makes this game based on Walter Hill's 1979 classic any better? Well to start, it was made by Rockstar. Even if you aren't into video games, you've likely heard of their Grand Theft Auto series. Rockstar puts a lot of effort into their games and The Warriors was no different. Continue »

Any fans, good slasher trash. I am doing a rewatch of this for the October Challenge.

8/10

Welcome to another... Reviews with Ballz!

Today, I'll be covering: Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067500/ , Return of the Evil Dead (1973) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068232/ , The Ghost Galleon (1975) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071256/ , and Night of the Seagulls (1976) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073461/. And yes, I know those years conflict with what IMDb lists. But the years Wiki lists conflict a little too, so I'm going by what it says on the back on my DVDs.

I recently decided to buy Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series via the The Blind Dead Collection box set. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the set itself. As you can see below, it's shaped like a coffin, which is really cool I think, and I can't complain about the quality of the transfers or anything. Continue »

I have this list for myself but figured I would post it here in case anybody is looking for modern recs. Obviously some may disagree with some listed or not listed. Here is every horror film I have liked so far from these years. I will obviously add to it as I see more films.

Dead at 61.

Wow, he has been in a lot of great movies, I'm looking at his filmography right now, and he has been in a lot more of my favorites than I would have thought.

I've always dug the sequel more than the original.

The first seems one-dimensional by comparison
(strictly beheadings, as opposed to an elevator killing, for example).
It didn't hurt that in the sequel, he's protected by ravens, rather than a rottweiler.
Imho, the cemetary conversations in the sequel are more compelling than any in part one.

I also prefer the conclusion in the sequel (since he's that much closer to world-domination).

The mold knows, Jack. The mold knows.

This is one weird ass filthy movie. A man who hasn't left his filthy disgusting apartment in 16 months finally has his TV die on him. After a failed suicide attempt, a giant lump of mold (voiced by one Mr. Jeffrey Combs) in his bathroom starts talking to him and controlling his life. It's very Henenlotter-esque, and the type of movie that makes you feel like you need to take a shower. Highly recommended! Here's the trailer:

Is this worth getting on Blu-ray?

Todd Sheets has always gotten a lot of hate. And you're probably sitting there thinking "Well, no shit! Did you see Prehistoric Bimbos In Armageddon City?". And I'd have to answer that with an unfortunate yes. And yes. Not his finest hour and nine minutes. But I'll still go on record and say that I don't think whatever hate Sheets may get is really justified. Especially if you're only familiar with his very early stuff. Sure. These so-called fil...
