That is Richard's book! Your first clue is his picture, the second clue is his name. Congratulations amateur detective, you're in a giallo! Avoid sexy ladies and psychedelic wall paper. It's for your own good. Or don't. Look I can barely update this blog more than once a month at minimum.<br />
<br />
What I can do is sing Richard's praises. He's an author, see and he wrote a book. Go look at your bookshelf. I'll wait. Is Richard's book there? No? Well buy it! That's the only way we are getting out of here alive.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I'm working with a couple of friends to get a horror film off the ground called Bad Reputation. I like to describe it as the Before Sunrise of Death, 2 people meet on a bus, arrange a date one of them doesn't survive it. We tried the Indie Go Go route a few years ago, that didn't pan out, so now we're going the Sam Raimi route.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I bought an 8mm camera, lights, and I am making my first short in 8 years, only this time on film. I've taken my feature script and boiled it down to it's conceptually essentials, and am planning on shooting it sometime in 2015. If anyone wants to help out, we'll probably have another IGG for the short, you can contact me directly at </span><a href="mailto:Scott@eurocultav.com" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" target="_blank">Scott@eurocultav.com</a><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">.</span><span class="im" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Pizza would be first, but I'm in Austin, and there's like 1-2 stellar pizza joints in this city, and they don't deliver to my house, so if anyone in the NYC/NJ area wants to mail me a pizza from my homeland, ask Brad for my address.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">20. A horror remake that worked for you.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span class="im" style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"></span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">See the great slate of horror remakes we got from the late 70's to the early 90's, everything from Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Scorsese's Cape Fear. If you mean the post-Dawn of the Dead/The Ring remake slate then </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1320337240" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> the 13th, because it wasn't a remake, it was another Jason movie. You basically had multiple groups of teenagers get killed by an undead psycho in a hockey mask. There is no way a studio will ever remake the original </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1320337241" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> the 13th, Jason sells tickets, Mom doesn't, so basically F13 was a remake in name only.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">21. Is there a horror film you'd like to see remade?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">No. I used to think if I thought a film was less than good than maybe a remake could make it better. For example, I hated the original Prom Night as a kid, but the Synapse Blu-ray opened that film up to me on a whole other level, and the remake of that was just poor.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I said earlier that I am not generally impressed by modern horror, and for the most part this is true. I also have a terrible memory, because I saw the World Premier of Stephen Biro's American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore at the Housecore Horror Film Festival in 2014, and was extremely impressed by the film. It was violent, and disturbing in all the right ways, and an excellent continuation of the Guinea Pig series in both the way it handles </span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">violence, and stylistically. </span></span><br />

But I don't know that I really had seen many. White Zombie I had seen, taped off of television back in the 80's, and I didn't care for the voodoo type zombies. I liked vampires and monsters. Also I liked slasher films that I saw (cut) on cable.<br />
<br />
The box for the VHS tape of Dawn Of The Dead creeped me out. I'd see it in the video store and steer clear. You remember the one. Roger, recently undead, is sitting up in a three picture panel. Yeesh.<br />

All of this changed one very late night in the late 90's at Matthew's house. Upstairs, in between his and his sister's room is an open air television room. Matthew threw in a VHS of Dawn (much to my (more than likely) silent) chagrin. How wrong was I? You know how wrong I was. I've forgotten plenty since but I haven't forgotten that night. This is the ultimate zombie film and only a few can really even challenge that title. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover and you should occasionally go outside of your perceived comfort zone. I try to remember this when Richard is putting over musicals.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686555333603605203noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-62819880244558825112015-01-14T13:56:00.000-06:002015-01-14T13:56:01.437-06:00The Year Of The FulchHello?

We're planning on contributing to the worldwide phenomena that's occurring worldwide called The Year Of The Fulch! So hopefully we'll finish up our Fulci series. And Troy Howarth is releasing his Fulci book that we are all VERY excited about. And we're giving away a baby elephant. Stay tuned.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686555333603605203noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-3060702411171929742014-12-04T09:55:00.001-06:002014-12-04T09:55:25.348-06:00Horror Anthologies?<br />

Well, the Christmas season is upon us and with Scream Factory's release of Tales From The Crypt (containing one of my favorite holiday segments: All Through The House) and The Vault Of Horror on bluray got me to thinking: What are your favorite horror anthology films? While certainly not exclusively made by British horror film company Amicus, they made a lot of great films to pair up with Creepshow and the like. I'm going to say my favorite is Tales From The Crypt followed closely by From Beyond The Grave. What can I say, I'm an Anglophile. What say you?<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YltTtnlwuxI/VEes-EzmxoI/AAAAAAAAAe4/hoQBhdUCmdc/s1600/315206.1020.A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YltTtnlwuxI/VEes-EzmxoI/AAAAAAAAAe4/hoQBhdUCmdc/s1600/315206.1020.A.jpg" height="251" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few quick thoughts on Dracula Prince Of Darkness:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. The bluray is the third copy I have of it. The Anchor Bay double disc, the dvd set with Frankenstein Created Woman and The Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires, and the bluray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. The bluray looks fantastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Terrence Fisher doesn't get enough credit as a great horror director.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. The bluray really reveals the amazing production design and the atmospheric lighting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. If you can't have Peter Cushing, Andrew Keir is a more than acceptable substitute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Male lead Francis Matthews (veteran of Hammer film appearances AND he's in a pretty dang good giallo: Five Women For The Killer) sounds exactly like Cary Grant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. One of my all time favorite 'hey it's that guy!' actors, Charles Tingwell is in it. He is great in the Miss Marple films of the early 60's and in one of my all time favorite films, the Australian comedy The Castle. (Everyone in my life gets a steady stream of Good on ya Dale's, Looks like everyone's kicked a goal, and This is going straight to the pool room.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Barbara Shelley is very good in this. She knows they are all doomed from the jump.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. There is a great 30 minute documentary on the disc featuring Barbara Shelley, Francis Matthews and Mark Gatiss.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. I can't decide if I love this or Horror Of Dracula more. Two of the three copies I have were gifts from Elizabeth. That's a lot for Horror Of Dracula to overcome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11. You should buy this bluray if you like Dracula, Hammer films, gothic horror films or fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hey y'all. I meant to blog more this month but there's been a rash of birthdays, weddings and family reunions. I am keeping a list of everything we have watched in October and I will definitely post about that. Also I'm going to start delving into the Halloween Box Set soon. So I have that going for me.<br />
<br />

In the meantime head on over to Jeffrey's blog if you haven't lately. He's smack dab in the middle of Slashtober 3D. Good, good stuff!<br />

I love how it kicks off the Halloween season. This year I'm going to try to mix up some favorites and classics with some unseen films. I sometimes get trapped into watching films over and over. Any suggestions?Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686555333603605203noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-1438146366649476962014-09-26T08:59:00.002-05:002014-09-26T09:10:06.172-05:00Heather's Horror Blog Of Mostly HorrorMy friend Heather recently moved back to Illinois. Heather, RIP. No wait, she's not dead!<br />
<br />
She worked with Elizabeth and she lived across the street from us. Then she moved...across the street from us. It was the easiest move I ever helped with. Anyway, as you can guess, I roped her into watching horror films with us. She was terrified of horror films at first but we eased her in, starting with some more popcorn type horror films like Cabin In The Woods. From there we hit some slasher classics, haunted house films and general what have you. I knew we had her when she watched Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers on her own on Netflix. And all by her very lonesome she bought a Mill Creek horror film pack. That is a time honored, traditional horror film fan move.<br />

I sent her home with a ton of films and she said she was going to start a blog and review them. Being a procrastinator of the highest order and a man that makes wild, intricate plans and proclamations, I didn't think it would come to fruition. But...it has!<br />
<br />
Yes, ladies and gents, Heather has started a horror blog. And I'm very excited! Why don't you give it a look and give her your comments, tips and helpful suggestions!<br />

A lot. And from time to time he expresses fondness for something that I didn't care for. It would be foolish for me to dismiss him out of hand because Richard (as we all know) is an enthusiastic, perceptive viewer. So I often go back and rewatch these films and discover that he is indeed, correct.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMBpEDeDzks/VCGUtbvIpoI/AAAAAAAAAdg/2yekB7XcxSI/s1600/heknowsvid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMBpEDeDzks/VCGUtbvIpoI/AAAAAAAAAdg/2yekB7XcxSI/s1600/heknowsvid.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
One such film is He Knows You're Alone. Elizabeth and I saw it early in our combined slasher viewings and despite of (or because of) it's similarities to Halloween and it's unmasked slasher villain, I didn't think much of it.<br />
<br />
But a rewatch proved Richard right. It has an opening aped by Scream 2 that is clever, a determined detective and plenty of early 80's slasher goodness to go around. I've often thought that the time between Halloween and 1981's slasher onslaught was a bit of a dead period, excepting Friday The 13th of course (I said relatively, Prom Night and Terror Train!). But it's not nearly as barren as I thought. This is a good one.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686555333603605203noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-32472311056411307912014-09-17T08:05:00.000-05:002014-09-17T08:05:24.419-05:00In The MinorityI like Rob Zombie's Halloween films, the House Of Wax remake and My Soul To Take, all commonly disliked films by the greater horror community. I know this is a broad generalization but what horror films do you like that you seem to be in the minority on? Share your shame!<br />

5. Popcorn (1991)<br />
<br />
When I finally got around to watching Popcorn (sometime in the 2000s), I immediately ripped my leg off so that I could repeatedly kick myself for not taking a chance on this earlier. So anyway, this film is just strange; a mishmash of slasher, splatter, and classic horror conventions with an oddly heartbreaking scene thrown in for good measure. Make sure you see this one.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">4. Child's Play 2 (1990)</span><br />
<br />
I never re-watch the original Child's Play but I find myself returning to the first sequel a lot ever since I first saw it when I was in my teens. This film is nightmarish, gruesome, and at times, insanely claustrophobic. The inclusion of my teenage crush, Christine Elise (Emily Valentine of "Beverly Hills 90210"), is also a huge bonus.<br />

3. The Blair Witch Project (1999)<br />
<br />
If nothing else, this is one of my divisive horror experiences of all time. Some people claim they were terrified and some think it is just stupid. What I love about this movie is the enveloping tone. It's not just the found footage gimmick, this movie has real atmosphere and characters, actual characters. It helps that competent actors portray those characters but yeah, I love this film. The only thing scarier than this film was the drive home from the theater on a lonely stretch of highway afterwards.<br />

2. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)<br />
<br />
Over the years, this just gets more and more amazing to my eyes. For all of Francis Ford Coppola's hubris, I think this is one of those times where it is well earned. The amount of care and detail put into the production design is staggering. People harsh on Keanu Reeves in this but for me, it's one of his most tolerable performances. I mean seriously, who the fuck likes Jonathan Harker anyway? Literally anyone can play a nothing character. At least Reeves makes him a pitiable chap. Great date movie.<br />

1. The Exorcist III (1990)<br />
<br />
Sometime in the mid-90s, I got this tape for a dollar when a ma and pa video store in Jupiter, Florida went out of business. I got this and Blue Velvet, neither of which I knew anything about. Boy did my brain get friggin' raped that weekend! This film attempts to make up for the misunderstood misfire of Exorcist II: The Heretic by making it bloodier but not much weirder (not sure if I like or dislike this). This is the film that endeared me to George C. Scott and Brad Dourif who both attempt to scream over all the insanity to some degree of success.<br />

<span style="color: white;">Aaron has a brilliant blog, <a href="http://www.thedeathrattle.net/">The Death Rattle</a> and has guested on the podcast. I've already checked out a few of the movies he has recommended and folks, Aaron is on point. I am proud to present: An Interview With An Aaron.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">4. THE BABY</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">5. The Jim Jarmusch vampire movie ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE. Not a conventional horror movie, nor is it an original take on vampires, but it's so good. Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are perfect.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">Cannon's NINJA trilogy - REVENGE OF THE NINJA with Sho Kosugi, ENTER THE NINJA with Franco Nero, and NINJA III: THE DOMINATION with Lucinda Dickey.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">As a kid, it was MAUSOLEUM and THE HOWLING, especially the former. As far as long term effectiveness, probably JAWS. As cliche as it sounds, I'm scarred to this day because of it. I live in a place surrounded by water and I'm terrified of the ocean. FML.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">In the 5 to 10 range. It's one of those movies I've lost track of over the years as far as how many times I've seen it. Me and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 go all the way back to when I first remember watching horror movies as a kid.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">This will make some eyes roll, but I have to go with ABCs OF DEATH. "Best" is subjective, but it's my favorite of 2013. Some of the segments are garbage, but it covers a lot of bases in terms of sub-genres, and a lot of the segments are creative and entertaining. It also opened my eyes to some up-and-coming directors I should keep an eye on. If we're talking horror movies that follow a narrative, probably THE CONJURING. 2013 kinda sucked for horror in my opinion.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">"Best" would be a toss-up between SORUM and BEDEVILLED - both from South Korea. SORUM is a very atmospheric psychological horror movie and BEDEVILLED is essentially a revenge movie with a pretty amazing pay-off.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="color: white;">My controversial pick would be Rob Zombie. Love or hate his films, he has a unique cinematic voice and an enthusiasm for the genre, which is what made guys like Carpenter and Craven special. Aside from him, I can't think of anyone. If Ti West lived up the promise he showed with HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and INNKEEPERS, I'd include him. If Eli Roth was more prolific, he'd definitely be there. James Wan is good but not "master" good.</span></span></div>

<br />
We're planning to write it up for the blog. In fact, I have already written the introduction so as to put the pressure on to write the thing. I figure it'll be easier to write than the Spaghetti Westernthon, although there is a chance that I'll abandon that one totally. Because, lazy.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686555333603605203noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371599223788718176.post-80242771442671636692014-08-26T14:26:00.002-05:002014-08-26T14:26:40.926-05:00They Want My Soul<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I was a religious buyer of monthly music magazine CMJ in the late 90’s and early 00’s. It came with a free cd every month and was an easy way to keep up with new music in the pre-internet era.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I did. It was Lines In The Suit. Minimal, infectious rock and roll. I bought the album Girls Can Tell later at a record shop in Asheville, NC. Great stuff that stayed in the rotation for a long time.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Everyone loved, loved, loved the follow up record Kill The Moonlight. Everyone but me. I couldn’t (and still can’t) see how anyone thought it was good or even an improvement on Girls Can Tell. But it made tons of year end best of lists and is still highly regarded today. To each their own.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I felt like Get Fiction was definitely a move in the right direction and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was incredible. A track from that actually made our wedding cd. Transference was another slightly off record despite having a stellar track in Out Go The Lights.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We come to this year’s They Want My Soul. Wow. Every track could be a single (somewhat like last year’s world beating Arctic Monkeys album AM.) 17 or so years after forming, Spoon has delivered their best album in my humble opinion. This one’s got piano, distorted guitar, and doo wop back up vocals. Radio friendly without sacrificing edge. My album of the year. Full disclosure: Elizabeth loves it too. I'd list a standout track but i think they all are. I'm fully aware that sounds ridiculous. </span></div>
