DAY OF THE DEAD
countdown 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.

homoerotic vampires
THE BROTHERHOOD...
And now for some homoerotic horror courtesy of the one and only David DeCoteau...
THE BROTHERHOOD

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 FRANKENSTEIN
COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN
DRACULA?
FRANKENSTEIN?
WHO WILL WIN???????
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.

Free Movie Monday
THE 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...

bewared of the week
(midweek musings on stuff)
But the best deal on right now is 70% off the OMEN Collection. Too bad the first one is really the only classic. The others are kinda meh to me.
I made a mix on Spotify called OCTOBER 2012 Mix • Scary, Spooky, Dark, Hip that you should check out. It's not just for October though. Listen year round for optimum freakiness.
times square with
Kane Hodder
on halloween!!!
Here's a late Halloween treat for you geeky goblins and goons.Stuntman, Actor and Horror legend Kane Hodder was in town and nice enough to talk to us about his killer new biography UNMASKED, which is a must for any true horror fan.
In addition to chatting about the release (which you can pick up here, btw), Kane shares some thoughts on the new generation of Horror fans, positive insight into Hatchet 3, working in Times Square as Jason for Friday the 13th Part VIII and more...
everything I needed to know about life,
I learned from the original FRIGHT NIGHT
• Never let J. Geils Band write your theme song.
• The point of a pop quiz is to surprise you.
• Jerry is an awesome name for a vampire.
• You have to have faith, for it to work.
• Sometimes, even vampires bluff.
• Vampires love apples.
infinitely superior...
I'm already getting grief for posting a completely exuberant review of the LET THE RIGHT ONE INremake last night on Flixster.Let me make this clear. The American remake, which is simply titled LET ME INisn't just a respectful remake of the already amazing Swedish thriller. It compliments it and expands the story and characters that originated in the novel. Yet, at the same time, the film marches to its own beat. It's stylish and haunting, just like the original film, and the story is relatively the same. But you can't shake the feeling that you're not watching just a remake. It's not just a retelling or a reshoot. It's a deeply developed rendition that benefits from the addition of several wise choices.
Whereas the original's time period set the simplicity of the tale, here it's a flat-out commentary on 1983, from the perspective of a 12 year old. It's a time period as puzzling a Rubik's cube, but as deliciously addictive as a Now & Later. This remake uses the time period to advance the notion of the possibly inherent evil that lies at the movie's soul. Culture Club plays in the background of a scene subtly singing "Don't put your head on my shoulder, sink me in a river of tears. This could be the best place yet, but you must overcome your fears." Rather than hit you over the head with the chance of a clever in-joke, the filmmakers choose to get under your skin. One of many examples throughout the film.I don't want to give anything away, so, I'll keep from praising the movie any further. I highly recommend seeing the original Swedish film first, or at the very least see it after.
the amityville (tag sale) horror...
112 Ocean Avenue (known these days as 108) in Amityville, Long Island has a new owner, which can only mean one thing.
No, not demonic possession.
It's a TAG SALE! I now own several objects once contained within the actual Amityville Horror house. I'll be revealing the take on Tuesday on ForcesOfGeek.com, but in the meantime, here's a little taste of the sale, shot on location at the doorway to hell...

in the madness of marketing...
At the crossroads of low-brow horror and time-wasting chatroulette lies this little gem of a grass roots marketing scheme...
