In addition to the usual reviews and comments you would find on a horror movie blog, this is also a document of the wonderfully vast horror movie section of the video store I worked at in my youth.
Hey all! Today's archives clippings feature articles and interviews with some of horrors greatest icons. Behold! Click images to enlarge.
Those Freddy articles crack me up. Innocent times when we still believed each subsequent horror sequel was absolutely, definitely, certainly, for sure the last one. As for Robert Englund's “Freddy-less future”, I'm sure he wasn't sweating it.
Tomorrow, I wrap things up with some random clippings and release posters from various nineties releases.
Hello all! I hope you're enjoying your weekend and that sweet spot in between Canada Day and Fourth of July. Here's what I've got for you.
Bava Buffet.
While it is often that I wish I could attend something that is screening in NYC, this takes the torta, so to speak. The Quad Cinema in New York will be celebrating the work of Italian icon Mario Bava in July by playing twenty-one (!) of his classic films.
I can only pray to any higher power that will listen that some organization in the Big Smoke will bring this series to Toronto. I'm crossing my black gloved fingers.
Trailer Two-Fer.
I have a couple of trailers here, the first of which is for the newest Child's Play movie, Cult of Chucky.
I still haven't seen the one from a few years ago yet, but fortunately a friend is having a Chucky marathon this month so I'll be able to catch up soon enough. Second is the trailer for Black Fawn's newest The Heretics.
Each picture these guys make as part of their eight picture deal with Breakthrough is better than the last and having worked with two of the leads (Ry Barrett & Jorja Cadence) in the past, I am expecting good things. Look for both titles later this year.
If Only.
Lastly, since I'm still clocking in nightly sessions with Gun Media's Friday the 13th game, I thought this mock-up was particularly awesome.
I'm afraid I don't know who is responsible for this, but I like to think there is an alternative universe where these titles actually exist. What a childhood that would be!
All right... First Messenger post of 2017! Forgive me if I seem a little groggy, I was up until four a.m. playing an incredibly engaging video game. Here's what I have for you today.
Look What Came In From The Cold.
One of my fave horrors from 2015, Oz Perkins' February (now re-titled The Blackcoat's Daughter) is finally getting a release in 2017.
I'm happy to see that, as I thought for sure this had been relegated to Netflix oblivion. The plan is to premiere on DirecTV in the midd le of (coincidentally) February with a theatrical release on March 31st. This flick features three great performances from its young leads Emma Roberts, Keirnan Shipka & Lucy Boynton and seethes with atmosphere. Be sure to check it out.
Blood Makes Everything Better.
Much has been said about the family Christmas caper Home Alone's cartoonishly violent undertones, but YouTuber BitMassive has done one better by digitally inserting realistic physical trauma on the two thieves, Harry & Marv. These are really great.
Guess Who's Back?
Here's something I wasn't expecting. A new Chucky movie! Here's the teaser below.
As long as Brad Dourif is still doing the voice, I'm in.
