I made my annual trip to the Frightmare convention in Dallas for Saturday. Got there early, got a few autographs, didn't stick around too long. Now, I'll be rambling about my experience this year, just as I always do. Continue »

Well, the first B&W outside the IMDb went pretty well. I gave an honest effort at winning for about a week there, but Beatnik once again got way ahead of everyone else in record time and made me lose motivation. So, fuck you, once again, Beatnik.

So, how 'bout it? What was your favorite FTV of the month? what was your least favorite? What was the black & whitest?

My favorite FTV was The Eyes Of My Mother (2016). Not saying much, though. That's the only one I liked a lot. As usual, I delved... Continue »

I was just watching The Creeping Terror, and got to thinking. This is possibly the worst monster ever.




Or not...

... IF I remember to post in it!

Anyway, this week's Derby news:

2-year old champ Classic Empire is nursing a foot abscess and will miss his next prep race: https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/219939/classic-empire-out-of-fountain-of-youth



Pletcher-trained One Liner just rocked home in the SW Stakes with a 102 speed fig (highest of the potential Derby horses this ye... Continue »

Sole Survivor predates Final Destination by 17 years and you can see it had an obvious influence on Final Destination although Sole Survivor is the more well made film of the two and it is the far more creepy. The movie focuses on a young woman who happens to be the only survivor of a tragic plane crash. Following after being discharged from the hospital, she begins getting the foreboding... Continue »

Holliston is a real town in Massachusetts, made famous by Adam Green. My mom actually worked there for a few years. Anyway, the guy who played one of my favorite characters from the 2004 hockey movie Miracle was also from Holliston, and apparently he killed himself a couple weeks ago. If you check Google News for Michael Mantenuto, you'll see some disturbing allegations that he "saw something" while serving in the armed forces, fighting ISIS in Iraq or Syria, and maybe that's what drove him t...

Nobody will mourn the IMDb Horror Board like me, but what's happening is a very lucky break for this site, which has gone back and forth between almost dead and almost semi-active for nearly 3 years. It seems as though every time we get some people, they always wander off once this place picks up. There's other options, still, and always will be, but unfortunately, there will no longer be THE Horror Board to rely on. Maybe some of the other options are ok too, but I assure you none of them ha... Continue »

I don't know if I'll ever be capable of this, but I keep thinking of a couple of songs that it would be cool to adapt to Dune, in the form of music videos.

The first is Ah Leah, by Donnie Iris. Hmmm, which character from Dune could I possibly think would make a good subject (object?!?) for the that song... you guessed it: Alia. It even sounds like the song could be about her, in parts. It implies a sort of predestination, in the way it talks about the doomed relationship, which is certai... Continue »

I have gone back and forth on It Follows. For awhile I loved it, and I would even say I became obsessed with it. But, after thinking it over, I have also had times when I really hated it, because of the ending, and also because I suspect that the director didn't even mean anything by the movie, he was just trying to make us all think he was very deep and philosophical by throwing all kinds of images out there that seemed symbolic of something. Lately I have been giving it a chance again.

B... Continue »

Make your spot right here.



Anything else goes here ---------> https://trashepics.com/post/9/118/

So, that was pretty cool. They had a midnight screening of ND at a theater not too far from where I live, so I went. They actually said it was the last 35 millimeter print of the movie left in North America! I have no idea if that's true, but that's what they said. So anyway, here are some of my thoughts.

I told the guy who sold me the ticket that, before the movie started, someone who works at the theater should stand in front of the audience and say "Boy, you people sure stay up late,"... Continue »

This is so hilarious to me. It's not like it's a new movie, so I don't get how people are unaware of it's content. I guess they just think it's about cute little bunnies... For fuck's sake, they even gave a warning at the beginning of the film before it began to air. It's like when parents who took their children to see Pan's Labyrinth were pissed off it wasn't a cutesy fairtale. Do some damn research people!

Anyone seen this? I don't think I ever saw it mentioned on the horror board. I just watched it on Blu-ray and thought it was off-beat and creepy, but the storyline didn't always work.

Here I am watching my first John Wayne movie, "Red River" (1948). That's right. I'm searching for some B&W movies, and there are plenty of westerns. What are your thoughts on this highly revered cowboy?

From "Comedy Bang Bang", the greatest song of all time! Part 4!

What are your favorite space movies, horror or not?

I'll throw out a few obvious ones:


FAVES:

Dark Star (1974) - John Carpenter's feature length debut is an eerie, spaced out comedy of sorts that capitolizes on a cheesy, yet creepily isolated sci-fi space mood.
Alien (1979) - The sci-fi slasher in space! Creepy story about people getting picked off one-by-one by an alien life force.
Aliens (1986) - James Cameron takes over the reigns to give us a more military/a... Continue »

As many of us know, drugs can be a lot of fun. Not always, given the circumstances, but more often than not, drugs are fun. Weird, 80's Horror movies involving drugs, however, well, those are always fun. And nobody knows this better than weird, 80's Horror director, Frank Henenlotter, who was once known only for a little cult gem called Basket Case https://trashepics.com/post/9/49/. It would be 6 years before H... Continue »

I just finished watching the FX series "Louie". It was 5 seasons, short episodes, pretty funny overall. He plays himself (but not really himself, as in he's got a different "family" in the show, apparently), he lives in New York, and he sucks. He gets laid, but it never lasts. That's why it's funny though, because his life is one unfortunate event after another.

His not-really love interest is Pamela Adelon (Runkle's wife in "Californication"), and she is spunky. Short and sexy. Notabl... Continue »

Holy hell, this show is good. I'll try not to say much because as to avoid spoilers, because this show can have a big impact if you let it. This fifth and final season is blurring the lines of a remake here, and it's got me giddy like a school girl.

This show is awesome.

Freddy Kruger's last stand vs. the same of Michael Myers.
By now, I'm fully aware that most people don't respect the final Halloween entry.



But don't you people at least appreciate it more than the New Nightmare?



Both films are about an unstoppable killer getting mass publicity

I was rewatching episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd (yes, I'm hooked) and I came across his video on The Berestain Bears games. He stated in the video that he remembered it as being Berestein, and that's how I remember it as well. It seems as though evidence points it to always being Berenstain. I vividly recall it being Stein not Stain as a kid.



There are entire theories dedicated to The Berenstain Bears, and the Mandala Effect, along with o... Continue »

Rather enjoyed The Sect (1991) last night. After his fun but blatantly flawed The Church, it shows Michele Soavi on the cusp of greatness. A rather standard, predictable set up in which a young school-teacher is entangled with murderous Satanists with a messy, slightly annoying cap off (though there's a possibility of the very final moments being somewhat inspired if only they were a little clearer) and one of Pino Donaggio's lesser scores. But full of delights too. From the outset, spurts of st... Continue »

Who is Josh Suire? Unfortunately, not nearly enough people know the answer to that question. Unfortunate because those who are unaware of this comic genius are seriously missing out. To know who Josh Suire is, first, one must know who Chris Seaver is. Seaver is one of the few remaining micro-budget filmmakers whose work really stands out. A comic genius in his own right, Chris Seaver is known for some of the weirdest, craziest, not to mention und... Continue »
