Can you believe people used to make movies using VHS camcorders? I'm not talking about home movies, here. I'm talking full length features, intended to be picked up by actual companies for actual money. Which implies a fanbase for such a thing actually exists. Crazy, right? Perhaps. And perhaps it's a small fanbase, as most moviegoers can't be bothered with the unknowns and the unusual. However, the 80's gave us a new type... Continue »

Bernie Wrightson - fantastic comic book artist and co-creator (w/ writer Len Wein) of Swamp Thing passed away on March 18. I haven't seen much fanfare about it, but Wrightson also did some incredible b/w artwork for a comic version of Frankenstein. When I say incredible, I mean incredibly detailed. I haven't figured out the image posting thing here yet but you can see an example at:

After my widsom tooth is removed, I decided to see a horror movie about teeth called The Dentist (1996). I think it's a lot fun and excellent extremely underrated horror film of the 1990s. It's scary, gory as hell that makes you never want to go to the dentist again. It was based on the story about the real-life serial killer dentist, Glennon Engleman (1928-'99). But all other than all this, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.... Continue »

Both those sites only care about thier own programing or reruns of othe shows. The horror is either shit or IF they have classics, I have seen it.

Occasionally, I will stumble on something good.

What do you guys recommend?

For me, There's two kinds of bad Horror movies. The one's I buy off Amazon, these days. Some I like, some I love, and some make me want my money back. Then, there's the one's I rented on VHS as a teenager back in the 90's. I love them all, period. I guess that makes me one of those nostalgia weirdos, who's biased enough to love all sorts of abominations of cinema. Fine by me. Not everyone can get pleasure out of Silent Night D... Continue »

Mine would be the 80's cartoon afterlife sequence.

Undeniably.
I'm old (40), and probably live like an 80-year-old.

I'm probably the last person on earth who still doesn't have a smart-phone.
I simply prefer the unsophistication of a flip-open phone.
I'm also afraid that if I were to get one, I'd shatter it on the first day.

This reminds me:
I'm so old-fashioned, I still haven't learned how to upload an image on here.
Can someone inform me, please? Thanks in advance.

The Trash Challenge has been a blast, but it's cumming to an end. Let's get some B&W recs going, so we can jump right into the next challenge, huh?

I love the Universal Monster movies, and have seen most of the main ones. Anything with Karloff or Lugosi is good by default. I've seen a handful of other "essentials" like:

20s:
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, The Phantom of the Opera

30s:
White Zombie, Mystery of the Wax Museum, Freaks, King Kong, Dr. Jekyll and Mr.... Continue »

Is this any good? It's supposedly based on the Manson killings, before anyone realized who actually did the killings.

First off, I'll remind everyone that I work at a movie theater, so when new movies come out, I get to see them for free. No biggie, since I skip most movies anyway, since they're all shit. However, Disney, being the greedy fucks they are, doesn't allow us to see their movies for free. They still want theater employees to pay full price, because making a billion dollars on every movie they make just isn't enough already.

They wont let us see the damn Guardians of the Galaxy 2 until near... Continue »

When I told @shaza I'd never seen this movie, she insisted I make it a priority. I know Serbia isn't all like this, but then again, I don't want to trust any country where a movie like this is made... Continue »

and also starring MOLLY PARKER, who I love and I am sorry I couldn't stuff her name into the subject line.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118350/

This is a pretty interesting TV movie. I think it was really well done. A very large part of it is basically a one woman show, just Molly Parker talking to herself as she thinks her way through various life-threatening predicaments... so, if you don't like her, better skip this puppy. But, I like her, so I really enjoyed this.

She plays a... Continue »

Boring thread, I know, but I think it makes sense to make it today.

You don't have to say why if you don't feel like it.

Mine is Dawn of the Dead (1978) because it's very entertaining, it has great likeable characters, it has some of the most memorable zombies of all time, it has a lot of great gore and the music is awesome. Also it offers everything you could possibly want from a movie: horror obviously, suspense, action, drama, comedy and even romance. I could watch it everyday and never... Continue »

Sorry, that's Work In Progress, not Sharon Mitchell with a whip.

8x10, mechanical pencil, 15 hours in. I'm having to do repair work, my original attmempt at capturing the look of black leather made it look more like a pea coat. I can do about two to three hours at a time before getting an eye strain headache.

A lot of the old stories about werewolves, vampires, ghosts, etc, have some kind of supernatural element, obviously. Often, the way to fight the evil monsters lies in some kind of Christian symbol, like a cross, or maybe a pre-Christian symbol that has been co-opted by Christianity, like... OK, nothings coming to mind, but I'm sure we can think of a few kajillion examples.

Anyway, in modern times, there are plenty of horror movies and franchises that have moved away from explicitly Christi... Continue »

Me and my DerTables will be going on Saturday, May 6th.

Here's the guest list:
https://www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/guests/


I definitely want to meet Argento, Henenlotter, maybe Claudio Simonetti (Goblin), Michael Berryman, Debi Sue Voorhees, Michael Pare, and Ted Raimi.

This movie was wack. It reminded me a little of Street Trash. I welcome any comments or opinions... because of shit going on in my personal life I'm having a hard time focusing, so I probably missed some of the goodness, but enjoyed what I absorbed.



This was probably my last view for the Trash Challenge... thanks for starting the challenge Troma!
...and I just put in notice at my job. Good grief.

I'm reviving this thread from the horror board. I suppose the main ingredients are the isolated setting (usually a cabin), and surviving the horde of undead or possessed people.

Night of the Demons (1988) https://trashepics.com/forum/724/
Things (1989) https://trashepics.com/forum/17/

Are you guys old enough to remember some of this shit?

I have seen tons of Bad Horror/Exploitation/Sexploitaion/Women in Prison.

Is there a feminine equivalent to the "macho hell" subgenre of cinema? That is, films like Deliverance, Joe (!970), Southern Comfort, Wolf Lake, Shoot! or La Traque, where "tough" guys get in bad situations and turn them progressively, violently worse through constitutional inability to just back down or be reasonable.

I'm not terribly open-minded when it comes to music. I tend to stay within a range of decades I know and trust, and while it can encompass a lot in itself, I tend to stick with classic rock.

I guess I'm not so into music of these days because I don't have the ear for it yet. I'm kind of primitive when it comes to trends and stuff. I only get to this stuff about ten years down the line, when nobody cares about it anymore. I think a lot of my dislike is how overproduced some of it can get. You... Continue »

Is this any good? Is it the same movie as Death Walks in High Heels? Both have the same actress.

I have watched Detention - 2011 (closer i ever got to suicide).
