Haha good call on Monster Dog. The opening music video was pretty good but the rest of the movie is a laborious task to watch. I still have my ancient VHS of that around somewhere.

Troma puts out some classic, ultra low budget fun. It doesn't appeal to everybody though. As for B movies, I've been watching some of the old Vincent Price movies lately. Masque of the Red Death, The Raven, Theater of Blood, etc. All very entertaining if you like VIncent Price and his hamminess. He could read the…

That looks awesome. Have fun.

I haven't seen the theatrical cut of Rob Zombie's Halloween since it first came out but I was definitely surprised when I picked up the DVD of the director's cut and saw the different escape scene. I preferred the "rape-less" version of the escape. My wife (who I had seen it with in the theater) turned to me and said, "I…

That's a bummer to hear about Richard Lynch passing away. I always remember him best from Invasion USA.

Wow, haven't seen Nightbreed in years! Have fun,

I'm definitely interested in seeing this. Rob Zombie has a great visual style but I would love to see him direct something that he didn't write someday, just to see him branch out a bit more.

In general it's going to be harder for rabid fans of horror to find something genuinely scary over time. You expose yourself to so many horrific scenarios that it becomes a challenge to be surprised or frightened after awhile. We don't necessarily become jaded or cynical, but definitely harder to please the more well…

I agree. The "based on a true story" marketing ploy worked really well for things like the original Texas Chainsaw and even the original Amityville Horror but now they slap it on any exorcism or ghost movie.

I liked Monster House. Fun and not too scary for the kids but is still very entertaining for the adults too.

Wes Craven was always hit or miss with me. Carpenter on the other hand I agree that his output lately has been less than impressive considering how much I enjoy his movies. "Village of the Damned" probably was the start of a downward trend in quality although "Vampires" is great. I still haven't watched "The Ward" but I'm…

I love a good splatter movie.

There's a documentary called "Cropsey" that is about the facts and urban legends surrounding a series of child disappearances near Staten Island. It has some disturbing footage from an old sensationalized Geraldo Rivera expose on the asylum/mental hospital that the suspected killer worked at. The hospital grounds have…

Trick R Treat is great. And I was just cleaning out the basement for an impending yard sale and found a vhs of "The Ice Cream Man" (as well as a few dozen other old horror tapes). Might have to track down a vhs player to give that another viewing.

I'll never forget the poster for Ghoulies that was hanging in my local video store as a kid. It had the Ghoulie coming out of the toilet and the tag line was "They'll Get You In The End."

I never delved too deeply into giallo. I have liked what I've seen though (Suspiria, Opera, Deep Red, some Fulci stuff). Any recommendations? Sometimes, since the horror fanbase can be so rabid, I have trouble telling what is considered lesser known. It seems like everything has its own followers. When I was a kid I…

We overdo Halloween in our house (if that's possible). In the basement we have 5 or 6 bins full of Halloween decorations and only one small box labeled "xmas." As far as collectables I have a movie theater banner-style poster from Freddy vs Jason. It's huge and used to be up in my old apartment.

Braindead (Dead Alive) is one of my favorites. I got to see it at a midnight showing a few years back and the crowd went nuts when the priest yells, "I kick *kitten* for the Lord!" Definitely one the best gore movies with a great sense of humor.

I'm definitely curious to see how John Cusack plays Poe. I like him (especially in Grosse point Blank) but he always plays the same kind of character so it will be be interesting to see if he plays Poe any differently. Did anyone see the Masters of Horror episode "The Black Cat?" It takes the original Poe story and tells…

I've heard that it twists in a few different directions than expected so I have been avoiding the trailers so I can go in fresh. From what I understand it starts like a cliched horror movie with a bunch of young people in an old cabin in the woods and then you realize there is a mysterious "things are not quite what they…

The House movies are so fun. I always loved the box art as a kid at the video store with the decaying severed hand ringing the doorbell. "Ding dong . . . you're dead!"

Fido, Zombieland, and Tucker and Dale VS Evil were each really good. And the laughing scene in Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. So good. If you're an Evil Dead/Bruce Campbell fan check out My Name Is Bruce. It's cheesy but it knows it. My wife just reminded me that the hardest she ever laughed at…

There is a street in the Canadian side of Niagara Falls that is lined with Haunted Houses, wax museums, a Ripley's museum, a museum of murderers, and all sorts of of other fun stuff. It might just be the most fun street in the world for people who love that kind of stuff. To top it all off there is a giant sculpted…

I thought Doomsday was a really fun mix of action, fantasy and horror. Predator might be my vote for the best action/horror movie, though.

Guns N Roses are one of the all time greatest rock n roll bands, but I don't like to classify them as hair metal. Twisted SIster, however, gets my vote for best hair metal. Consistently great songs and albums up until '87 and rocked the hair/glam look to the hilt.

I remember a few years ago there was talk of another Re-Animator movie that would take place in the White House. I would have watched that. As for other sequels that were kind of teased over the years but never came to fruition: another Evil Dead with Bruce Campbell, Phantasm 5, and Escape From Earth. I could also go for…

I love the first three Romero zombie movies, the Evil Deads, and trashy 80s slashers. My favorite series is probably Phantasm, though. I'd love to see a fifth/final Phantasm get made someday.
