WATCH BAD INFLUENCE (1990)

Directed by Curtis Hanson

Starring Rob Lowe, Lisa Zane, James Spader and Marcia Cross

I remember being obsessed with this film when it was released, probably because Spader was cast so against type and the film just gets darker and darker as it goes along.

DAY OF THE DEADcountdown to halloween...

I love DAY OF THE DEAD from George Romero way more than I love DAWN OF THE DEAD, which I know is controversial, but not more than NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

Just in case you're keeping track.  



Day of the Dead is a 1985 American horror film written and directed by George A. Romero and the third film in Romero's Dead Series, being preceded by Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (1978).

Romero describes the film as a "tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse even in this small little pie slice of society." 

This film features Sherman Howard in an early appearance as Bub, and make-up artist Gregory Nicotero playing Pvt. Johnson and assisting Tom Savini with the make-up effects.

Now he's become the newest recruit...one who is desired especially by the society's male members. Nathan Watkins Josh Hammond and Bradley Stryker star.

DRACULA vs FRANKENSTEINCOUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN

DRACULA?
FRANKENSTEIN?
WHO WILL WIN???????

Who cares.  Dig those crazy threads man, in this 1971 stinker that proves anyone can make a monster movie.  Is that Colonel Sanders, btw?

A mad scientist (played by J. Carrol Naish) descended from the original Dr. Frankenstein takes to murdering young women for experimentation in hopes of reviving his ancestor's creation, with help from his mute assistant (played by Lon Chaney, Jr.). Things start to heat up when Dracula (played by Zandor Vorkov) arrives and promises to revive Frankenstein's monster in return for a serum which will grant him immortality.

This was Lon Chaney, Jr.'s final horror film role and J. Carrol Naish's last film. Chaney filmed his part in mid-1969 when the film was titled Blood Seekers; Naish filmed additional footage in 1970 when Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster were added to the story (and in his confrontation scene with Dracula, he appears noticeably older). 

C.H.U.D.COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers for the win, please...

C.H.U.D. is a 1984 American horror film produced by Andrew Bonime, and directed by Douglas Cheek with Peter Stein as the director of photography and William Bilowit as production designer. 

The cast includes Daniel Stern and John Heard and features early appearances by both John Goodman and Jay Thomas as police officers.

It was followed in 1989 by C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D.

ハウス (HOUSE)COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN

Today's COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN continues with the midnight-fave Japanese movie HOUSE, which combines some freaky images to get you in the mood...

  

House (ハウス) is a 1977 Japanese horror film directed and produced by Nobuhiko Obayashi. The film stars mostly amateur actors with only Kimiko Ikegami and Yōko Minamida having any notable previous acting experience. The film is about a schoolgirl traveling with her six classmates to her ailing aunt's country home, where they come face to face with supernatural events as the girls are, one by one, devoured by the home.

Free Movie MondayTHE EVIL DEAD

When I was a kid, you had to get your parents to rent THE EVIL DEAD for you on VHS (that is, if your parents were super cool like mine were).

Nowadays, you can just dial it up on Hulu (of course, albeit behind an age-wall).

Though I loved the remake, and celebrate the sequels, nothing is as GROOVY as the original EVIL...

Free Movie Monday - THE FISHER KING

I have to admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of Terry Gilliam's THE FISHER KING upon its release, but it grew on me, and there's no doubt it was one of Robin Williams's best performances.  

Watch it here...
