Friday the 13th Part III

As of 30 minutes ago, it is officially Halloween. I have been a very, very, bad blogger and haven't posted in months, so to make up for it I am watching a classic- Friday the 13th part III.

Any moderate fan will note that the first movie didn't really have Jason except for the great scare at the end. The second movie had a bumpkin with a pillowcase mask as the villain. I'm not sure how this franchise made it to a third movie (and even 3/4 of the way into this movie) before it finally made one of the most recognizable horror icons of all time. I'm not sure if a franchise could make it that far nowadays without having that singular iconic character. I guess Hostel made it to a second film without a major villain, but I'm not sure if it's in the same vein as most iconic horror films.

I want to heavily emphasize that anything I would have already written about this movie was already done here: http://www.x-entertainment.com/halloween/2006/september15/ and this is another great read http://x-entertainment.com/halloween/2004/october25/ about seeing Jason's face in the Friday movies. X-Entertainment is pretty much awesome.

It is pretty amazing/unusual that the movie that created the face for Jason is a 3-D movie. I really wish that there was a version of this movie that I could rent in its original 3-D. I'm not sure how scary a horror movie would be with red and blue tint, but it would still be interesting. It's very obvious that this movie was supposed to be in 3-D. There are way too many scenes that have nothing to do with the plot, but have items protruding towards the viewer.

If someone out there ever reads this and does some investigation- can you please tell me: How many Friday movies have an Olympia beer truck in them? The third one does. I once went to a screening of the first movie in a theater, and I thought there was a scene that had an Olympia truck, but it isn't shown in the DVD. I'm just interested because it's kind of a nostalgic beer for me, and it would make it even cooler if the beer was in more than one of these movies. "It's the water" Perhaps Jason just drank too much Olympia and went on a killing spree...perhaps.

At any rate: Here's to Shelly- The owner of the original Jason mask. Who knows how many nightmares this forgettable "boy who cried wolf" character has created by lending his hockey mask to one of the greatest counselor killers of all time? I know a lot of us would like to have seen Shelly get some vindication for his nerdiness amongst the popular crowd of Friday 3...but his sacrifice not only saved a franchise- it forged new ground and created one of the most sequeled horror franchises of all time.

Lost Boys: The Tribe

There have been rumors of a sequel/remake to Lost Boys forever. I always thought it would have to be a really good movie, or don't even bother making it. I think I've found a new way to save a crappy movie- go straight to video. I don't know what that would do for most movies' revenues, but at least from a critic's standpoint, it allows you to be pleasantly surprised.

From what I understand, Lost Boys: The Tribe was supposed to be a theatrical release. I saw a few episodes of The Two Coreys, but not all of them, so I kind of know what is going on there. Haim was trying to get back in the movie business and get off the drugs, and Feldman was trying to help out and make a movie along the way.

I actually liked this movie better than I thought I would. It's nowhere as good as the original, but it has some really good effects and a few hotties mixed in. Corey Feldman finally grew into the voice that he was trying to use in the first film. He still seems like he's forcing it a little bit sometimes, though.

I liked the cameo in the beginning with Savini. I bet it was him that created his own head. It looked great. I think I would have liked to see what would have happened if he was a major character in this film. He could have been the main vampire. I suppose he would be a bit too old to be hanging out with the other characters, though.

There were some pretty good effects and gore. There is one scene where a vampire gets stabbed in the heart and he starts retching blood. It was pretty realistic.

One thing I always enjoyed from the original film was the theme song. I liked the new updated version in this film. I suppose I mostly like it because they didn't change it very much.

Overall, it was worth watching. I wonder if this was a straight-to-video movie that had theater film money behind it and that's why it turned out ok.

Are You Scared

I'm re-watching the "Are You Scared" DVD.

Here goes a test of faith. In case anyone out in cyberspace actually reads this, be forwarned...I'm going to talk about the opening trailers to the DVD. I actually bagged 3 or 4 in a row that I had already seen. I felt like I had some mystical badge of honor that kept growing with each trailer. I thought- "I've seen all of these movies...I must be a connoisseur".

Then the trailer for "Something Dark" happened. wow. oh. my. god. Trailers are created to be amazing. That's kind of the whole point. You're supposed to be able to take a crap-ass movie and make it at least rentable. This was the worst trailer I have ever seen. No, really, I'm serious. It looks like a home horror movie that I made with my sister and my mom. The cherry on top is some dude who's fake beard moves on-and-off of his chin while he speaks. I honestly can't believe that they chose these scenes as the cream-of-the-crop to put into the trailer. By default, of course, I'm going to have to rent it and blog about it...but it's going to take a whole lot of bourbon.

By the way: "The Feeding" which was the next trailer...it was one of those trailers where you could tell the movie probably sucked, but at least the trailer made you kind-of want to see it. It's almost worth renting "Are You Scared" just to have a 5 minute lesson in how to make a crappy trailer and a decent trailer.

Here's a little bit of movie trivia- question marks are bad luck. At least that's what I learned from IMDB when I read about the trivia of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". That movie title has no question mark, even though the title is interrogative. "Are You Scared" has the same antigrammatical faux pas. Let's see if that helps...

FYI, I saw this film once before, but I couldn't remember much about it.

Hmmm....the first scene is like "Saw"...but way less suspensful.

I just realized that this DVD only has 2-channel stereo, and that's the only option.

Jason just blew up. So far, this movie doesn't have any of the suspence that Saw has. The thing about Saw was that at least a few of the people either beat the challenges or tried as hard as they could. This is more like Saw 2 where no one really tried that hard, and the movie just tried to hurt people without much personal gain from the characters.

I like the drill scene. Apparently the directors/editors/sound editors/negative cutters liked the scene too...they drug it out forever. They put the kind of treatment on it like when Braveheart was screaming "freeeeedooooommmm!!!!"

Wilhelm Scream when the shotgun guy falls down the stairs...add this to the ever-growing list. His task and death are pretty weak, though.

"He keeps to himself mostly"...I have always liked that line because it's usually true.

And then in the end...you lost me, I really had no empathy for any of these characters. I didn't even care when one character accidentaly killed another. I kind of hoped the villian would just kill them all and do it fast. Unlike "Saw", the police officers were barely even useful characters.

The chick cop is the slowest walking character ever. How can her partner get into the building in a matter of seconds, while it takes her a half an hour? Plus, she didnt' do anything. The whole point of her character was to show up afterwards and try to guess about what happened.

The ending was made just to maybe create a sequel. I'm not sure if there is one, but I didn't really see anything sequel-worthy. I swear, I really will review a good movie soon.

The Ruins

I was in one of the chain bookstores a few months ago looking for some new horror novel to read. Nothing was grabbing my attention, so I asked one of the workers if they had any recommendations for "something to keep me awake at night". She kindly told me that "The Ruins" was a book that she had recently read and it was pretty good. I told her "thanks" and went to find it. After finding it and reading the brief description on the back I decided that it sounded interesting enough to buy.

However, on my way to the cash register while looking at the front cover I discovered that it was "now a major motion picture". I promptly decided to put the book down on a shelf and go watch the film sometime instead.

One thing led to another and somehow I ended up not going and seeing it on the big screen. Anywho, last night I finally watched it and I must say I was pleasantly impressed.

It goes into the somewhat recently updated category of the "don't leave America because its scary everywhere else" type films which started with Hostel back in 2005. The Ruins follows a group of college students on their vacation to Mexico. Without giving too much of the plot away, the body of the film is about going to some ruins and having a run in with some nasty pumpkin vines.

Roughly 95% percent of the film takes place with the protagonists stuck on top of the ruins. Considering this isn't a dialogue driven script and that there really isn't that much action the film surprisingly managed to keep me entertained throughout.

I really cannot comment on the theatrical version, but the Unrated version had some pretty graphic scenes. I typically don't like gore if it is too realistic, but The Ruins had some really great scenes that made me go "ugh" more than once.

I truly enjoyed this movie and found it pretty disturbing. I might even read the book!

Breaking Dawn

Alrighty. So last week I decided that I don't need cable anymore. I've been tossing around the idea for awhile now. I have the movies-by-mail subscription that allows me to also watch loads of films online. With a combination of that and fear.net's free movies as well as basically being able to watch most network shows online what do I really need cable for? So tonight they come and take my dvr cable box away.

Anyways, the reason for telling you all this (if anyone really reads this blog) is that last night I had time to watch one more "on-demand" movie. Of course it had to be a horror flick. So there I was with the a hard choice to make. Do I go with an HD version of a favorite film or pick one that I haven't seen before that might be a stinker. Being the risk taker/man-with-no-fear that I am I chose a film at random.

The movie I watched was Breaking Dawn. The film is about a young medical student studying to be a psychiatrist. She is assigned a mental patient who she is supposed to "get through to" in 6 weeks time. However, the opposite happens and the patient shares his dellusional behavior with her. The tag line for the movie is quite fitting actually "A mind is a terrible thing to lose." Kinda clever huh!

This movie has some pretty intense scary scenes. There is one where the protagonist wakes up with a little old asian lady staring down at her speaking some foreign language. Freaky! I do have to say though that I had the M. Night type ending figured out after the first 15 minutes of the movie though.

Overall, I'd say as a horror film this one isn't half bad. That is unless it is the last horror film you get to see on cable.

It Has Been Awhile

O.K. All excuses aside it has been awhile since I've done a post. Since my last post I'm happy to say that I've seen at least one movie that I'd recommend to others. Considering the quantities of pooh that it seems I've been watching recently I feel that is quite a big deal.

One reason for not posting anything recently is that I have started roughly 8 movies and just couldn't bare to watch till the end of any of them.

Anywho, the movie that I was pleasantly pleased with was called "The Signal". The idea is that there is a frequency being transmitted on the radio and TV that causes people to kill each other. The idea is kind of silly, but the delivery is quite engrossing.

All through out the movie you're not sure if things are to be taken for real or if they are delusions that the signal has caused these people to have. There are loads of dream sequences so you are always second guessing if the scenes are really happening or just one of the dreams.

Definitely this movie was much better than it could have been. The director interpreted the screenplay in a great way that made a simple idea and possible stinky film into something that most horror fans will get some enjoyment out of.

Leave Nightmare Alone!

Oh dear lord. OK, deep breath.

I'm going to have to talk about remakes here for a second.

So, we're well into the new millenium at this point. Before long we won't have this weird "oh-eight" type of designation for our years. We can get back to just calling years by their final two digits. When that happens, maybe it will be time for a Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Do you know why it is too early to do it now? Because Robert Englund STILL EXITS DAMMIT!

It's so damn simple- look at the "Big 3": Michael Myers - wears a mask. Jason - wears a mask. Freddy - looks like a very distinctive, burned version of Robert Englund. As he gets older, it will take less makeup, and he will more naturally look like a burned up pedophile.

It was acceptable to make any iteration, incarnation, sequel, remake, or do-over of Halloween or Friday the 13th because no matter what you do, the main villian will be a believable version of the original. If you "remake" Elm Street, you have to remake Freddy. I don't care how amazingly you do that, it's not going to work for the original fans.

Michael Bay appears to be signed on for this. I would be excited about that if it was for any other horror remake. At least then I would know it would be an over-the-top crazy action-horror flick, but it wouldn't be changing the face of a horror icon.

In closing: I was fine with Halloween being remade because it was Zombie and he didn't take away from anything. I'm fine with every crazy version of "Jason goes to space" or whatever they come up with because it's still Jason killing people, but when Robert Englund dies, Freddy dies...and only then will the real nightmares begin.

Sleepaway Camp III

I'm going to continue with my trend of reviewing movies out of order with no sense of reason. I am currently watching Sleepaway Camp III and I'm going to try and blog it as I watch. If you haven't seen the first installment of this series, stop reading this and go watch it. Even if you haven't heard of Sleepaway Camp, it's mandatory movie material- right up there with Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street.

The sequels to Sleepaway Camp are an example of a horror series that completely deviates from its original genius and subscribes to the themes of Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'N Roll. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that, of course. A totally mindless movie with controlled nudity and humor is definately watchable...it just won't be praiseworthy.

So, this crapfest of a movie starts with tits right off the bat. The main character is tattooed with "Milk Shake" right above her moo-taps. I guess she was bringing all the boys to the yard way before Kelis was. The opening scene is actually fairly decent. I always like any movie where the main character is an outcast in their own family. Rob Zombie seems to excel in this area, although he might have taken notes from J.K. Rowling.

So, after the first scene it gets pretty boring...lots of introductory scenes. A few more boobs. I guess I can't really give away the secret of Angela Baker until you've seen the first movie. Do yourself a favor and watch it and prepare to have your mind blown.

Michael J. Pollard appears in this movie. Actually, he is probably the most prolific actor in the entire film. I suppose that should give you an idea of what to expect from this film. He isn't as eloquent as in "House of 1000 Corpses" like in that scene where he describes the resident retard, but, um...he's in the movie. He also gets a little action from a camp girl who is half his age. Props for that man...because he looked like he was really into it. His little tent girl wasn't so bad, and he looked like he was really having some fun.

Wow- a horrible scene. They fish a Jason mask out of the lake and Angela asks what day it is. Her friends claim that it is "Saturday, the 14th". Seriously?

Hmm, I guess 15 minutes later and I don't have much to report. It isn't much of a horror movie when you know who the killer is, and you get to watch them carry out their entire plan. There isn't much suspense in this movie...it's kind of like watching a home video of somebody going around killing people.

Woah...a little racism scene. The N word was dropped. The rap guy is arguing with the country girl. Let's see who dies first.

I kind of like the "strike 3" scene where the killer asks if the girl does drugs, is a virgin, or was a cheerleader. This was way before "Scream" where any movie would actually admit to the stereotypes of the victims. Plus, I don't think I've ever seen anyone killed by a flagpole.

BTW, there are no "Camp New Horizon" sweatshirts on eBay.

What the hell is with Angela's crazy mop hair? That has to be a wig. They show flashbacks to the second movie- she had fairly decent hair back then. Were they trying to make a signature character with her whack hair?

Not the greatest death scene- Angela pushes a counseler into a trash heap and then buries her. The shovel action is pretty fake. Then she brings the lawnmower. It's definately no "Dead Alive" as there is no gore.

The very next death scene has absolutely no gore. This is starting to suck.

Holy crap. The next death scene has no gore. I could have made this movie in my back yard.

You know how in Psycho you never actually see any stabbing during the shower scene? I saw more viscera in that scene than in the last hour of this damn movie.

Oh this is just crap now. It's a scene where Angela shows everyone that she is the killer and then gives them a challenge to try and save their own lives. The only reason I feel any pity for anyone in this movie is because I'm sure they are cold because I can see their breath. Angela dropped a body from a rope from above and nobody really seems any more upset than they were a few minutes ago.

Two chicks rolling around fighting in the leaves. Why don't they just strip and wrestle in jello? A neutral observer of this movie would agree that the only good parts of this movie are the random nudity. The character development is weak, the death scenes are horrible, there is absolutely no suspense.

I think the lack of suspense is the worst part of the movie. Every other horror movie I have ever seen is from the point of view from the victims. That is the essence of suspense. If you are just following the killer going around killing people, you might as well just watch a butcher at work killing animals like it's his 9-to-5.

A final positive note: The rock song during the credits is called "sleepaway"...I bet half of the money for this film went to this song.

Some Reality TV

So.....there is a show where the winner gets their own cooking show, another about making dresses out of corn husks & even one showcasing America's best who are able to perform such feats as drinking milk through a straw with their nose. As entertaining as those shows all are for the general masses, I have a few shows that I'd like to see take off. If there has to be reality shows can't they at least be good?

How about a show called "So you think you can act?", where the winner gets to be in a movie. Or one which showcases special effects artists. I'd much rather watch a contest where the players have to make a realistic Zombie out of house hold goods or something to that effect as opposed to watching people make 10 story high cakes with a "My Sweet 16" theme.

Mainly I think that most reality shows these days have lost their relevance. The first American Idol was a great idea (even though it was already going on in England) and I'll even say that the first year of America's Next Top Chef was interesting. However, I think it takes a lot away from those shows when they go on for 6 seasons. Instead of tweaking the same old show year after year to draw in people, I'd love to see new, relevant, original shows come out.

Whenever they start auditioning for "America's Best Special Effects Artist" or "Who Wants to Be Killed in a Horror Film?", I'll be sure to watch that those!

That's Not Horror!

I guess I won't have much substance in this post...I just wanted to comment on a coincidence. In the last two days, each day I have watched a movie that has a horror-sounding title that wasn't really horror. They both came in the mail from Blockbuster.com. Now, I'm not some idiot who was renting movies based on the titles. I knew what types of movies they were when I put them in the queue. It's just an odd coincidence that these titles came to me at the same time with such horror-sounding names when they really aren't horror movies.

The first is "There Will Be Blood." Yes, of course I know this isn't horror. It won 2 Oscars, and the book was called "Oil!" But still, you have to admit that this would make a decent horror film name. Awesome movie, BTW.

The second was "Deathdream." I really have no idea how this got in my queue. I don't know if this was one of those "If you like...then try" type deals, or what. Maybe Noah_Ichiban recommended it? I doubt it. I read the plot summary before I watched it, so I at least had an idea. It's a 70's suspense film. I would say it's almost horror...but not quite. It has a few gory scenes- like a slit throat, a guy getting stabbed (although you only see blood splatter), and a guy getting run over...but that's about it. Honestly, I had to fast forward through most of it. It was too slow for me.

So, I suppose next I should rent "I'm an evil killer man and I'm going to kill you with as much blood and gore as possible." It's probably a musical.

The Wizard of Gore

For me, the 1980's was the decade where a filmmaker's most gorey visions began to be realistically realized on the screen. Besides a handful of films before them, I think the "slashers" of the early 80's heralded in a what we think of as gorey films.

Unfortunately "The Wizard of Gore" was made in 1970 pre-realistic gore. In general 1970 was a pretty bad year for films. "Love Story" grossed the most at the box office that year. That alone speaks volumes.

"The Wizard of Gore" is nearly one of those films that is so bad it is good.. but not quite. I will say that the acting is definitely so bad that it is funny. However, this film is way too confusing. The basic idea is that there is a magician who can hypnotize women on stage and murder them in various ghastly ways and then un-hypnotize them and they become whole and unscathed again. The problem is that the various cuts show the women whole, murdered, whole, murdered & then whole again. It almost seems like we are supposed to just be imagining the carnage.

In summation, this movie is pretty bad. If you're going to watch a early 70's horror film stick with the good ones like the "Exorcist" or the original slasher film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". On the other hand, if you want to sit around and laugh at some bad acting and see some pig intestines.....check this one out.

Alien Versus Predator Requiem

First let me start by saying that I prefer the Predator franchise. There is just something about a shaman-like cosmic being that has all kinds of fancy gadgets that is appealing to me.

Second, let me say that I am not a huge fan of the Alien franchise. Perhaps it is because the sci-fi genre in general doesn't appeal to me that much, but I would say it stems more from that fact that I hate cockroaches with a vengeance. To be honest, isn't the Alien pretty much just a big slimy interplanetary roach? I mean they are super hard to kill, like damp dark places, and multiply too fast for a guy to keep up.

That being said, since the days that the original comics came out I've always been cheering for the Predator.

Now on to the movie. I can remember when the first came out that there was quite a lot of hype for it. However when this one came out did it even show in the theater? If it did, I must have been sick that day because I missed it.

The opening scene in "AVPR" pretty much gives the viewer a glimpse into what they will be in for throughout the rest of the film. Aliens popping out of chests and Predators trying to shoot them. You might think that this is an over-simplified analysis of the movie, but unfortunately it is not.


For me, you could substitute the Aliens or the Predator with any other randomly created monsters (i.e. a sinister midgets, swamp monsters, killer dolls) without there being any significant need to change any of the plot. At least the first film tried to play some with the idea of an ancient burial ground and aliens/predators being on earth before.


The ending of this film is just as mediocre as the beginning and middle parts. I watched this film yesterday, and to be honest I already can't remember what happened. I'm pretty sure it involved aliens coming out of chests and predators killing them though.

Night of the Living Dead - 1990

Really? Really, Adam? This is going to be your first movie review? Well, yes. Mainly because it is more fun to review a movie that I have never seen before (right after watching it, of course), and while I have seen both other vesions of NOLD, I never got around to this iteration.

What can you add to the 1968 Night of the Living Dead that isn't already there? Number 1: Gore. Number 2: Color. Number 3:???? I don't know. That's probably about it. Maybe you really shouldn't add anything.

The original didn't have to be in black and white, but I'm sure the gore would have looked much more fake if it had been in color. Also, it just wouldn't have had that classic feel. I wonder if I would even be writing any of this if the original been made in color.

Since the 1990 version happens to have been made in color, it had the opportunity for some realistic gore, and Savini delivered. Right from the beginning, we can see living corpses dripping bodily fluids. The shot of a severed arm falling from a balcony looked better than any POV shot I ever saw in Night of the Living Dead 3D. (I will begrudgingly touch on that film soon).

I really liked the fat farmer zombie in the overalls. He reminded me of one of the zombies in Doom 3. I wonder if the Doom character was inspired from this zombie. It's too late for me to google for that...I'd probably get off track and not finish this article.

Oh, the hammering scene? Too. Damn. Long. I've seen episodes of This Old House that had less hammering. Seriously.

Key Quote: "Let's try and work together and get some of this damn shit done". I guess the main character, Ben, is allowed to be dramatic and use the F-bomb; but the redneck kid, Tom, gets lines like "damn shit". That's some Damn Shit.

Barbara is a totally different character in this version. She's pretty much a badass instead of the typical 60's female role. I really liked the fact that she had almost no lines for the first half of the movie before she started kicking ass. I have always believed that some of the best movie characters only speak when they have to.

The music in this movie seriously sucked. I watched the movie on Comcast's On-Demand and it only had 2-channel stereo. I don't expect a movie this old to have digital surround, but if the music hadn't been so crappy, I might have been tempted to try some sort of simulated surround sound. I have an old Casio keyboard somewhere around the house that could have probably provided the soundtrack for the entire movie.

A quick IMDB Search shows that this is the only theatrical release that Savini has directed. I find that pretty damn amazing. I have seen quite a few horror movies that had worse direction than this. Savini is a huge name in horror...yeah, that goes without saying, I mean, he's been on the Simpsons. Anyone who is that connected in Hollywood could direct a whole mess of films. I'm sure that before I die, even Paris Hilton will have directed a movie. I wonder why Savini hasn't directed any more than this one. I would be up for watching his stuff.

Oh, I guess I did say that I would mention NOTL 3D before I finished. Sid Haig is in it. That's about the only good thing I can say. It's no "Captain Spaulding" performance, but he's not bad. Some of the DVD cases are funny because they read "Night of the Living Dead 3D" "2D Edition". Also, on the DVD extras there's an audience that interviews Haig. One member of the audience asks Haig a specific question about the zombies. His answer is something like: "you've got to remember...these things aren't real."

The ending? Not quite as meaningful as the original. It is somewhat shocking like the original, and it also has a message. However, this time the message is "Don't be a dick." It didn't have any of the racial undertones or anything like that to go along with it, but it was still kinda cool.

So my final verdict is- see this one if you don't have to pay for it. I would definately recommend any of Romero's sequels before this one. I would also probably recommend most of the "Return of the Living Dead" series as well. I haven't made it through all of those yet, but if you don't mind a little humor with your horror, those are pretty good.

On Demand...I Demand Horror!

I've eaten dinner and taken the dog for a walk. Being it is still roughly 8 o'clock that gives this eight to five working guy a good four hours of movie watching time. As I open my Netflix envelopes to see which new horror films I'm going to get to watch I discover that not only are the films that I hold in my hands not of said genre, but even worse they are ones that my wife has picked out! What sort of evil programmer monster works at Netflix that would put a button in the options that allows someone to supersede my cafeful placement of "Night of the Creeps" the 80's zombie/alien classic at the top of my queue with "The Nanny Season 1 disc 2"? Oh the pain.

After a few moments of deciding how to carefully and more kindly word a statement to my wife that would resemble my thought of "don't change the damn queue, you!" I decide the best thing I can do is give up on that idea and retreat to the living room.

The next decision to make is do I watch the cooking network and fall asleep before nine pm listening to the sweet sound of Rachel Ray making her 30 minute meals or try and find some tv movie that can appease my appetite for horror? Then, as if the idea were sent down by the angels I remember that I have on Demand with my cable. I've browsed the categories a few times, but to be honest I usually have plenty of movies lined up to keep me busy on my dvd spindle waiting to be watched.

As I open of the "Free Movies" and then "Horror" genre, I can't believe my eyes. There on the list of movies is "Night of the Creeps"!!

To make a long story short, my night ended not only with being able to watch the movie that I had originally intended to view, but also with a great idea for some blogging.

In the weeks to come, I'll be reviewing all of the greatly under appreciated/watched classics that Comcast was able to buy for pocket change and offer to me for my viewing pleasures. There are some real winnners, losers & even quite a few films that I've never heard of before on the list.

I hope you're all as excited as I am.

In the Beginning, There Was Horror

This a jumpstart. It's not going to be pretty, and by no means is this meant to be even close to an example of what horrorguys.com will be. You can't start writing without a blank page, and for too long Noah and I have not even had that page to write on. Expect more, expect better, and expect horror!
