I miss that guy. Looking over his filmography, he really was in some interesting movies. Even after he achieved some degree of mainstream fame and success, he continue to appear in really weird, offbeat films like "The Dark Backward" and "The Vagrant."

Of course, he started his career in horror with "Night Warning" (according to his filmography; I honestly don't remember him in it, but it's been over a decade since I last saw it) and "Mortuary." Then he appeared in a bit part in a little kn... Continue »

I've watched Dragged Across Concrete twice now since it was released to streaming this past Friday. It's not quite as good as Zahler's previous Brawl in Cell Block 99, but it's still pretty damn good.

Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn play cops who get suspended after someone records them on a cell phone using excessive force during a drug bust. They also may or may not be racists. They certainly aren't politically correct. Financially, the suspension is a problem for both of them. Gibson and Vaugh... Continue »

I blind bought these two recently and plan on watching them at the weekend.

Any thoughts on these two movies?

Anybody remember how cool this movie was when it came out? A star-studded cast in a violent noir setting, stylish as hell, and unforgiving. Boy, I must have watched this movie a couple dozen times when it first came out on dvd. I was obsessed. Then, I bought that "extended cut", which turned out to be really shitty, because they'd split the damn movie up into segments, and added an end credit sequence to ALL of them. So yeah, there's an additional 30 minutes of footage, but 2/3rds of that... Continue »

Basic stuff here. That bell icon up top will notify you when 1.) You get a new reply, 2.) You're tagged in a post/comment, and 3.) Someone likes your post/comment.

It ain't perfect yet, but it's good enough for me now. I still need to adjust tagged users when a post/comment is edited, incoming emails, mod notifications (only admin has them at the moment), and give it audio, but I'll get there. Just figured this was necessary to fix that bit on how a new PM would stay in your notifications for

Not US magazine. Not the United States. This is Jordan Peele's US. If his last movie was any indication, this movie would be okay at best. And it is. Okay.

I still think it's funny that this comedian is taking over horror. This movie will probably win two or three oscars. Even if I don't think "Get Out" was great, I still respect the guy for conning those Oscar nuts into giving him an Oscar for best screenplay on a movie that's quite similar to a few other titles and has a foggy story to it....

Don't worry, I know a lot of us don't respond well to long posts - so I am not putting pressure on anyone to reply to this. I won't throw a hissy fit like one particular former user ! I thought I would create this post here in case anybody is looking for modern recs, and for personal reference. It goes without saying, it is all subjective. Obviously some may disagree with some listed or not listed.

The 21st century has been, overall, an extremely healthy one for horror. There’s been the usu... Continue »

It's funny in a few ways... all the parallels to Marvel's "Captain Marvel", the various pokes to other DC characters in the shared universe, and because it's your favorite from the nerd herd, Zachary Levi as the buff red suit with a cape. What can he do? Well, that's part of the journey, to find out just that. And believe me, it's nothing original.

Interesting bit... John Glover returns to this third appearance in various DC canon over the years. This time, he's basically another Lionel Lutho... Continue »

Pop culture likes the classic Romero zombie. This is a day and age when shit like The Walking Dead is all the rage, and zombies are known to eat human flesh, and sometimes... brains.

But before the flesh eaters, we had the more classic voodoo/servant type, as seen in White Zombie, King of the Zombies, and others. I've heard the name Val Lewton mentioned a lot during this era, too. Some of those images look creepy.

So why did this breed of zombies go neglected in favor of another typ... Continue »

I always thought this was a great old school title featuring the legendary Lugosi, fresh off of Dracula. He plays a guy named "Murder", he has a unibrow, and he controls people (much like Dracula) through that nifty clenched grip thing he does.

Sure, there's a old-timey romance featuring some squares, and Lugosi mostly wants the woman because he's a conniving old bastard in this movie, but I love the scenes where you see your villain going about, smugly putting pieces together on how he can s... Continue »

I love this movie it's weird and so 70s and freaky and it's basically like every 80s slasher you've ever seen only not because it was made in 76/77 so it had more in common with grindhouse and exploitation movies no it isn't very gory or violent but the atmosphere is there in spades it's cruel and dark and gritty and weird and low budget there's just something about this flick i watched it again the other night I've seen it roughly 7 or 8 times now it gets better with every viewing I appreciate...

Harmony Korine. You either love him or you hate him. I'm in the camp that can't look away. When he puts something on screen, I'm mesmerized. Even when I felt dirty after watching Gummo, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I watched it a few more times until I discovered a depth in its grim and hopeless redneck suburbia.

I've watched Werner Herzog drink cough syrup out of a shoe because he made it look like art. I've watched Die Antwoord roll up in their pimped out wheelchairs because Harmony Korine can make magic out of nothing. Just imagine what he can do if he has starpower and a budget to boot. Continue »

I'm sick of this place. And you know what? I don't even like trashy movies. I'm going to go watch the latest blockbuster. Fuck you guys.

I had several, over the years on IMDB. I just googled the one I had toward the end of IMDB, and this thread came up. Good for the soul, to see it. My soul, anyway. What comes up when you google your old sig lines?

So as many of you know Ballz is our new Challenge Moderator and I would like to fill a couple other moderation roles if I can.

Below are the Moderation Positions I would like to have:
Challenge Moderator: Ballz - In charge of the challenge host queue and ensuring challenges start and run efficiently. Also Keeper of the Trash Cup. (That's a title idea "Keeper of the Cup")

Draft Moderator: - In charge of the draft host queue. In charge of ensuring drafts start and run efficiently. Tasked w... Continue »

I watched my favorite musical, Rocky Horror, last night, and realized it maybe my all time favorite movie. I'm thinnking about watching it again today, and already have the soundtrack playing. As a kid this must have been the first R rated movie I ever saw, although I had never really thought of it as R rated before last night. favorite movie of all time. My mom is an ex-ballarina and show choir performer so I saw this at a relatively young age, bu... Continue »

I always like to be on the look-out for horror movies that I like to see is there a similar movie out there to them.

Here is what I consider to be similiar:

Long Weekend (1978)/The Territory (1981) - both involving hiking trips with with Mother Nature fighting back
Duel (1971 TV Movie)/The Car (1977) - desert settings involving powerful vehicles.
I Am a Ghost (2012)/I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016) - both poetic introspective haunted-house films... Continue »

Johan must really not like me. He made his own forum, about the same damn shit we talk about here. https://horrorntrash.freeforums.net/ is of the same design as imdb2, a site that we had both expressed our disdain in, but fuck it so long as it ain't this place, right?

Stab me in the fucking back, why don't ya? All to make a shoddy knockoff of a site that was designed to cater to all and anyone's requests? I've spent thousands of dollars and hours to learn how to code this site. I live in slea... Continue »

I'm trying to get better at my web programming and I am trying to make some basic games. I'd like to put them on the site if people would play them.

What I'd like to know is what basic games do you guys like and would you like to play them on here?

Game Pipeline
1. Trash vs Zombie (What I'm working on Currently
2. Trash Man Beta
3. Trash Poker (I'll figure out a better name for it)
4. Trasha-noid

Completed Project
None yet, but links coming soon

Now this here is one strange little movie. If you go in blindly, it's going to take you a moment to figure out what this movie is about, but when it hits you, you know you're in for a fun ride.

So who is Farmer Vincent? Who is Ida? What are we doing in this movie to begin with? Rory Calhoun plays a charming southern gent who runs a motel and jerky business with his fat and smug sister. Yeah, I've already said too much...

How did he do it? How did George Romero make not one, but two masterpieces in one year?! Some may not like Martin as much as I do, but this movie resonated with me so much when I first saw it. I remember the days of discovering old school horror movies by the legends of the genre, such as Carpenter, Craven, Argento, Romero... Such a fun time to be alive!

This unconventional family drama is disguised as a vampire movie, but it's all about the writing. His first cut was about three hours... Continue »

So Ballz will be the new challenge moderator! He will be responsible for running the host queue and aproving challenge submitions, not that I expect him to be scrutinous but no one wants to do the same challenge two months in a row or really in the same half year period I'd think, but that will all be up to him!


@Ballz if you would please make your own thread and make it a sticky. Other than that you have free reign over rules, regulation, time lines, etc... have fun and thank you!

So I have an interesting question.

While you clearly can't rape a dead body, can it be considered rape if you interend to revive or reanimate the corpse?

For example if a person broke into a woman's house, stopped her heart, penitrated her and then restarted her heart, was it a rape, necrophilia or both? It feels like a terrible loop hole in the law that could lead to some wierd deffenses.

Just fyi this is coming from watching Flesh for Frankenstein, not some wierd place of desire.

You guys (and I'm mostly referring to Box and Der) have obviously been trying to make me react by the "Ooh, those dirty fools!!" topic. Yes I have created my own board. However that I made it in an attempt to ruin TE that is not true. You can ask all the people I have sent an invitation to. And I invited also people who had left TE or became inactive or never were active in the first place. A few of them joined like Gottfrid, Smerd and sushistoner. Others like Hey Sweden, psychotronicbeatnik did... Continue »

He did a bunch of good sleaze in the 70s and 80s, like the surprisingly decent killer baby trilogy It's Alive, the Maniac Cop trilogy (writer), and The Stuff. Are you eating it, or is it eating you?

I want to see more of his movies. He had a bunch, and they had good casts of b-movie regulars like Michael Moriarty and Fred Williamson. He did a few good collaborations with William Lustig, too.

Lost another good one. RIP
