It’s been a while since I posted a deeply personal article and this one charts right there at the top. I have an affinity for tracking down rare and especially sad, beautiful music and I have a friend with similar tastes in music, who introduced me to “Ghost of a Dog” by Edie Brickell & …
Whether only rumored, in-talks, announced, or actually in-development, here are some of the projects I’ve been following and am all sorts of giddy for: Movies Jeepers Creepers III Why? — I’ve probably never had a more enjoyable horror experience than when I saw the original Jeepers Creepers in theaters. It was a Friday the 13th …
Few horror movies have been referenced, paid homage to and parodied more over the years than The Exorcist, which turned the ripe old age of 40 just last year. Chock full of imagery that’s equal parts memorable and terrifying, from the titular character arriving at the home of a possessed young girl to that possessed …
Not exclusive to horror movies, but especially prevalent in horror movies through the late 80s and early 90s, we were treated to a special “made just for the movie” end credits rap or rock song. Sometimes, just a fun and bizarre mix. For reasons I don’t understand, this had become a sort of unspoken Hollywood …
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most badass horror icon of them all? If you ask this question into your mirror, the face that will appear before you is that of Sir Christopher Lee, a man who has done it all in the world of horror. Now 91 years of age, Lee is still …
Manhunter is far and above, my most favorite film of all time, favorite soundtrack, introduced me to my favorite band Shriekback, and one of my favorite directors Michael Mann. Clearly, I was heavily, heavily influenced and impacted by this film as much as one can be by any artistic medium. Most people don’t realize that …
Just got done listening to this Halloween mix. Very eclectic in a good way. As the name would suggest, there is indeed a very strong From Dusk Till Dawn tone to it. Styles and influences consist of Quentin Tarantino, Spanish, jazz, rockabilly, oldies, and retro Halloween songs to name a few. All and all, a …
I love Henry Hall. One of my all time favorites. But, what I truly love is Val Rosing‘s (birth name) voice. His stage name had become Gilbert Russell (and later legally), though I find that pretty silly as Val Rosing is a beautiful name, which is also, I’d think, very marketable. In the ’20s, ’30s, …
Fall, my favorite season. October, my favorite month. October 31st, my favorite day. Halloween, my favorite holiday. October 1st — I went and saw Rob Zombie (one of my favorite bands) play and there couldn’t have been a better way to get it all started. Marilyn Manson opened, which was a perfect fit and Rob …
Beautiful and haunting.
