Return of the Living Dead

October 31 - Return of the Living Dead

It was a tough decision but tonight, Halloween, will be my favorite punk rock zombie movie, Return of the Living Dead, complete with strippers, parties, zombies, graveyards, cremation, punks, blood, and "send..more..cops". Happy Halloween everyone!


Something Cryptic Comics











I started a new blog for daily/weekly comics on Blogspot and Tumblr.

Monster Mash

Skyrim




















I'm dying of anticipation for this... almost as much for next weekend.

Near Dark

October 28 - Near Dark

Another favorite of mine, seriously gritty vampire flick. It's movies like this that make me wonder why shit like Twilight gets popular.. although I guess not among horror enthusiasts.

Dr Dre the Movie

I Sell the Dead

October 26 - I Sell the Dead

Ron Perlman, Dominic Monaghan, and Larry Fessenden in probably the most original horror/comedy movie I've ever seen.


10/22/2011

Beetlejuice

October 22 - Beetlejuice

Not the scariest movie ever but when I was a kid I jumped pretty high when the shrimp hands pop out and grab everybody's face at the end of the dinner scene.

An American Werewolf in London

October 21 - An American Werewolf in London

This movie simultaneously launched the careers of some of the greatest special fx artists and changed horror films forever. This is also the second horror/comedy movie by John Landis that I've watched this month... time to bust out some more Sam Raimi.

Spiders and Owls

7 Billion























You wanna talk about scary? How 'bout another billion people on this dumbass planet?

The UN and various authorities used to say we'd have 9 billion by 2040... doesn't seem like it's exactly sneaking up on us. More like hurtling.

Let The Right One In

October 20 - Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In)

I've been interested in this movie since it came out but never really got the chance to see it. There's an American remake called Let Me In but I'm sticking with the original. Little girl vampires? Fuck yea.

The Mist

October 19 - The Mist

I didn't like this movie all too much when I first saw it but I just found out that Darabont wanted it seen in black and white, and I'm curious.

Innocent Blood

October 11 - Innocent Blood

Other than a few Dracula/Nosferatu films, this is the best vampire movie ever.


10/09/2011

Creepshow

October 9th - Creepshow

Continuing with another movie of horror shorts, the only difference is that this one involves George Romero, Stephen King, and Leslie Nielsen.

Graveyard






















If you're at all into '70s rock, stoner-blues, and anything else that may ring a bell with a band like this, you must check these guys out. I have been waiting for something new from them since their self-titled in 2008, and at that point I thought they were a '70s rock band.

Trick 'r Treat

October 8th - Trick 'r Treat

I've been looking forward to finally seeing this, I've heard a lot of mixed reviews but I'm sure it won't disappoint me, it's kindof hard to do with horror movies.


10/06/2011

The Evil Dead

October 6th - The Evil Dead

I'll probably be watching this with commentary. Sam Raimi is pretty funny.


10/05/2011

The '90s

this is my favorite saying...

The Serpent and the Rainbow

October 5th - The Serpent and the Rainbow

Bill Pullman in a zombie flick by Wes Craven, what more could you need?

10/04/2011

The Shining

October 4th - The Shining

Still the scariest movie, the music alone is just terrifying.

Gahan Wilson

Gahan Wilson was another huge inspiration for me when I was a morbid little child. I own one the Classics Illustrated edition of The Raven but I don't know where Devil's Dictionary went. There is an incredible version of Lizzie Borden that Wilson does in that one, gory as hell.

The Devil's Rejects

October 2nd - The Devil's Rejects

House of 1000 Corpses is a guilty pleasure, but this film is a masterpiece in the vein of psycho-slashers. A good film to follow TCM.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

October 1st - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
