With so much talk of video games recently, I keep going back to one of my favorite conspiracy theories on the arcade game Polybius. For those that may not have heard about Polybius here's a quick description on what it was quoted from Wikipedia

[b]Polybius is a fictitious arcade game that originated from an urban legend created in 2000. The original game's actual existence has never been authoritatively proven,[1] but it has served as inspiration for several free and commercial games by the s... Continue »

It seems like something I would like and I was considering blind buying V (1983 miniseries), V: The Final Battle (1984) and V: The Series (1984-1985) and wanted to know has anyone here seen these? What did you think of them?

I've seen a lot of talk on the Horror board and here over the years about how much it sucks that the video stores died out, but the same thing kinda happened to Arcades too, right? I was just thinking about how much time I used to spend in those places. More time than I spent browsing for movies, which is saying a lot.

Anyone used to live in one of those places like I did? What games stick out in your mind? I think it was around 1991, I discovered Street Fighter II at my favorite Arcade, Putt... Continue »

I haven't much time this past week but should be getting Liquid Sky and The Psychopath in the next few days.

I have the Blu-ray of Red Ring of Fear and hopefully will get to it tomorrow night. I have seen the movie but it was a poor and probably cut release under the title Virgin Terror.

Like many fans from my generation, Pro Wrestling is now something that we used to watch. Something that used to be good. Something that just isn't what it once was, but also something that still deserves the respect it always did. And while I still keep up with it, Wrestling is something I personally no longer have the patience for. Especially WWE, which is now the last remaining major Wrestling promotion in... Continue »

I want shades of green. Can I get them?

What a load of hooey. If you watch a lot of DVD extras, I'm sure you've noticed that every single actress who has ever been interviewed has described her character as being strong. If they're especially obnoxious, they'll probably also say that you don't see many strong female characters in movies. But if you don't see many, then how come all of the others are also calling their characters strong? What is that supposed to mean anyway? Do they think they're doing something to fight sexism...

I went for both Deathly Hallows films and honestly wish I had done the same for the previous ones. Practically everyone attending was a die-hard Potter fan and sooo many of them dressed up for it w/ Hogwarts student costumes from all the different houses... there were even a few ppl dressed as the Death Eaters. :D
Great fun.. plus it was nice being able to chat with ppl that actually read the books as well. (As much as i enjoy most of the Potter films, I've always preferred the books..)

I got my ticket booked for Sunday, May 6th. I usually go on Saturdays, but scheduling conflicts are putting me on a Sunday this year. They've got a few interesting people this year:

https://www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/guests/

I'm hoping to meet Adrienne Barbeau, possibly C.J Graham and/or Steve Dash, Claudio Fragasso, Charles Band (again), and Robert Kovacs of the new "Death Kiss" movie. Maybe some of those people from Last House on the Left, too.

There are a few others I'd like to m... Continue »

Oh my God!

This is about an extremely cheesy, culturally diverse, synth pop band called Dragon Sound, who all happen to be black belts in Tae Kwon Do. The band's token chick has a brother who is some sort of gang leader and he doesn't like her hanging out with those losers, so basically, it's on. Would you want your sister involved in this nonsense?



Zack Attack were clearly heavily influenced by t... Continue »

So, here's one I never thought I'd attempt. I feel like it's important to step outside my comfort zone, sometimes, because how else could one possibly improve as a writer? So, today, I'm going to say a few words about a film I've seen quite a few times over the years, but have never really been able to come up with accurate enough words to do it justice. At least not enough of them for a full write-up. Anyone who has actually seen Begotten... Continue »

Since business isn't booming, we're going back to the prior technique of allowing anyone to join. It was by moderator approval only, but we've put our pants on, and we're ready to kick anyone's ass who acts like a juvenile piece of shit.

Seriously! To any users about to join... Don't be a dick. Really, it's that simple. Everyone's been a troll at one time or another, and it was fun. But some of you don't know how to troll worth a shit, and focus on all the wrong aspects of it, and get personal. Knock that shit off! And put your efforts towards something more constructive. Make the internet great again, and start at this corner of the web. TrashEpics.com Continue »

Have fun and good luck!

I got to see the boys, LIVE in Dallas. It was fucking great. We have a shamefully low amount of fans on this site, but the Trailer Park Boys are awesome. Truly one of my favorite acts out there, and I had a blast at their show.

To start things off, me and @der went to The Majestic theater, which is pretty classy. It's golden and artistic inside, and the seats are pretty nice. As soon as we walked in though, you could see how overpriced everything is. The shirts ranged from $40 to $70, probabl... Continue »

Anyone here ever read this? It's pretty fun, it's like Salem's Lot on a much bigger scale. It involved vampires taking over Los Angeles, with some backstory in Hungary at the beginning. It would make a hell of a movie.

I was just thinking, I wonder if it might have been one of the original inspirations for The Terminator. I had this idea partly because of the general setting, Los Angeles, and the basic story about a group of fairly normal, average people trying to head off a really overwh... Continue »

I don't typically pick up Criterion releases, but I made an exception recently with the new Criterion release of Romero's classic zombie movie that started it all, Night of the Living Dead. Got it for about $18 altogether off of Amazon and I don't regret a single penny of my purchase.



First of all, the 4k remaster is absolutely beautiful and is the best it's looked on video. Way better than the numerous dollar DVD versions that are out there for sure... Continue »

Who doesn't love a good documentary? Their purpose is to be both informative and engaging. Over the past few years I've found myself discovering and watching various documentaries about movie directors. They're more or less seen as the driving creative force of a movie and because of that, one is left to wonder how they got inspired to do what they do and what their creative mindset is like.

One of the more interesting ones (to say the least) that I just watched was David Lynch: The Art L... Continue »

I know, I know. If you've been on the internet for more than a year, this question is like for Horror Nerds 101 (nerd? Speak for yourself, bub!) I myself have been using the internet for, Christ, about 20 years now, so I've answered this question - on multiple message boards and chatrooms - tirelessly, and with fluctuating answers at that.

I was a Dawn of the Dead junkie for a good while there (isn't everyone at some point?) Then one day (he was shooting up some food, and up from the... Continue »

Since we have so many new users of late, why not get to know some of them? Continue »

Who do you prefer?

The slow and meticulous Frankenstein collecting body parts over time or Herbert West directly injecting his serum into any corpse he can find?

Who do you find to be more manic, grotesque or interesting?

I did it! I goddamn did it! Wiped the fucking floor with you all! Check it out! I won! The second annual Trash Challenge goes to me. ME! The eternally correct IMDb legend that was Tromafreak and your current Messiah has finally done it. Oh, God, it feels SO good to win a challenge, again!

Seriously, though. I'm still super hard from this victory, but you all did a swell job, this year. Didn't look like it was g... Continue »

Asian girls (Bing Bing Li) Giant Sharks and Jason Statham one liners. All I Want. Definitely Sold.

They even found a way to get tentacles in there for Bing Bing.

I hope the doggie is ok.

I also noticed Captain Mudd is in there.
