30 Days of Horror Day 7 The Hunger (1983) Playing catch up
I'm not a fan of the highly romanticized vampire movies but this film makes up for that with the unique concepts and intriguing storyline. The story follows Mariam played by Catherine Denavue an ancient Egyptian vampire and her dying lover John played by David Bowie. Sadly unlike her, all her "loves" have an expiration date and she doesn't. So she ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Horror Day 6 The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)
I'm not sure of this is considered a horror film. It is in the horror section and found under horror online so be it. Out of all the versions of The Hound of the Baskervilles this is my personal favorite. The film stars Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and Christiopher Lee as Sir Henry. Now everyone knows when these two film gods share a screen ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Horror Day 5 Blood The Last Vampire (late)
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie seeing as I lost all faith in Hollywood a few years ago. I will not ramble about how far the film is from the award winning anime. The film is about a half-vampire vampire hunter who works for an organization called The Agency hunting demons. Sounds a bit over used. Saya is a few 100 years old and has spent ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Horror Day 4 The Dunwich Horror (1970)
This film was so far from the book you would have thought DelToro was "working" with Mignola again. I just got done reading the Dunwich Horror so this movie isn't going to get any mercy from me. At least the basic concept of the film was kept but the charcters are way off. I will list.- Wilbur Whateley in the film is a good looking, suave ladies ( Read more... )

30 Days of Horror Day 3 Grim Reaper
::Yawn:: This film was a snoozer. Basically a stripper gets hit by a car and is saved by a "Guardian Angel" disguised as a homeless meth addict. Unfortunately because she "cheated Death" one of Death's lackeys has locked her in an old asylum (with a few others in the same situation) so she can be hunted down by the Grim Reaper. The story is ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Horror Day 2 Burn, Witch, Burn
Burn, Witch, Burn is a old fashioned horror masterpiece. The film is about Norman played by Peter Wyngarade a sociology professor whose primary focus is to disprove the occult and superstition. He discover's that his wife has been practicing witchcraft to protect him from "Dark Forces". Tansy played by Janet Blair is a quite eccentric (if that ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of Horror. Day 1 Deranged (1974)
A movie strongly based on the crimes of Ed Gein (called Ezra Cobb here) in the 1950s. Coincidently made in the same year as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, another movie based on the murderer. The film stars Roberts Blossom who is know for his role as Marley in Home Alone. Blossom does an excellent job depicting the character. He catches how ( Read more... ) -
Bye bye old friend
My Dell died the night before last so I have to do everything with my iPod. Ian is lining me his old laptop and I should be buying a new one in the beginning of February. The issue is that Ian is demanding that I buy one with an independent graphics card but that feature is running me into the thousands on a laptop and I get crap pay. Oh well ( Read more... )
