I love Trash Epics and everyone on here and the people involved. The IMDB boards however was such a good time waster, I work 9 hour days with headphones on, in front of a computer and it was cool to take a 5 minute break to see who was bitching about what, on the Horror boards or other movies. They amount of people posting kept a small social pulse in my life, if I was included in the conversation or not. It is weird that I keep going to the old IMDB boards out of habit.

As far as I know th... Continue »

Mine was back in 1990. I was only 18 years old. Me and my mate went to the drive in for an all night marathon. I can't even remember the list of films that was playing. I remember falling asleep and waking up around 2am just as Jacob's Ladder came on. I'd never heard anything about it and thought I was in for a war film at first. I was a bit bleary eyed at first but was soon wide awake and blown away by it. A magnificent surprise experience that you just cant recreate.

Sorry for another list but I have these sitting on my computer so figured I would keep sharing. I am not sure the history or qualifications of this list but I believe it was something members of the IMDb horror board came up with.

What was it? It had that guy in it who was in that other film. American he was, spoke with a deep voice. In this film he talks to this woman and says something about his job or something. The woman is also American and she giggles a lot.

Anyone know what the film is?

Incest is funny to me. Out of all the taboo subjects I can think of, incest definitely makes me laugh the hardest. It's a nasty, fucked up thing that I don't quite understand. But it is reality. That we can all agree on. Brother and sister, father and daughter, maybe even grammy and grampy get involved from time to time, but to me, nothing seems quite as awkward and uncomfortable as mother on son love. Or in...

I love horror anthology movies. They're up there with slasher and zombie movies for me.

I think 'Creepshow' is probably the most well-known horror anthology film. Written by Stephen King and directed by George Romero, it's a fun ride with a lot of cool actors, all to the music of John Harrison (who also did the soundtrack for 'Day of the Dead'). It was followed by a not-so-well-known and not-as-good-but-still-fun sequel, 'Creepshow 2'. There's also a 'Creepshow III', but it apparently really sucks, so I've never bothered with it. Continue »

These days, I buy a lot of Shout Factory's releases. They aren't quite as expensive as some other companies and they're usually full of special features. I've also recently gotten into Arrow and Lionsgate's Vestron series. Too bad it's taken Lionsgate so long to realize that releasing VHS rips on DVD isn't what collectors want.

I used to be heavily into Anchor Bay, but they've lost a lot of their catalog, holding onto only a few big titles like Halloween and Evil Dead. Their spinoff, Blue Underground, seems to be faring slightly better. I figure streaming has hurt some of these companies, but business must not be too bad with the amount of new titles Shout Factory announces weekly.

What happens when best selling horror author, dreamweaver, visionary (plus actor), Garth Marenghi turns his power to terrify to the small screen in true auter fashion?



Darkplace. That's what happenes!

Sadly, Marenghi's magnum opus was simply too terrifying to viewers to watch and retain their sanity, and he, and... Continue »

This movie really runs the gamut, from really demented and disturbing to really demented and hilarious. The Jim Parsons scene was the funniest, I thought. You could definitely argue about that, because there are several extremely funny scenes, but this is the one that my mind goes back to the most, as the one that cheers me up and just makes me laugh. It might not be funny unless you have watched the scenes leading up to it, because there's just so much carnage and mayhem in the preceding sce... Continue »

Anyone here seen Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films yet? If not, you must! It's quite the excellent documentary on Cannon Films and Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, the two men who ran it. Sure, a lot of what they distributed was considered trashy and their repuation in Hollywood was poor, but the doc makes apparent their love and passion for film and the industry as a whole. While Golan and Globus themselves aren't featured in it, a lot of people who worked with the... Continue »

Word up, homos. With the rec challenge nearly finished over on IMDb, I was wondering who'd be up for something similar here? You'd be up for it, that's who.

There's a couple of advantages to having a challenge here rather than IMDb:
1. Less participants. Prolly only a half dozen or so of us would join in. Dat means, with 5 or 6 recs each, there'd only be a max 25-30 movies to watch over the span of a year. Easy peasy.
2. We all have fairly similar taste, meaning a high hit-rate for movies... Continue »

I was just thinking, over the past few days, what a great line that is. Most of you probably already recognized it, from.... wait for it... the Aileen Wuornos movie Monster, in which Charlize Theron proved that she is not merely a paltry, run of the mill mega-babe, but one hell of an actress.

Seriously, isn't that a great line? It is under-appreciated, I think. There should be t-shirts and coffee mugs with that line, all over the place, even now, 12-14-ish years later, or whatever. In... Continue »

I'm so glad I found this. It's a movie made by the characters in "It's Always Sunny". A real piece of trash!

Has anyone scene this, I can't believe I watched the whole 4 hour Doc. A lot of interesting stuff.

Are anybody else voting for the Chainsaw Awards over at Fangoria?

I actually think the nominees looks pretty good, it's not just the same mainstream movies, that are nominated in all the categories, like you see most times, when people can vote for these things.

I've decided to take it pretty serious and see all the movies, that are nominated in any of the categories, I have already seen many of them, but I haven't seen Ouija: Origin of Evil, The Similars, Baskin, Under the Shadow, The Aut... Continue »

They're gone. All gone. /sniff

Topless in the Rob Zombie movie or in the clown costume?

Donald Pleasence looks like a turtle. Like Rafael in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Dr. Loomis even wears a similar coat, to hide his half shell. To public knowledge, he didn't know martial arts, despite his best efforts to teach a dear patient of his the secrets of ninja prowess.

"I spent eight years trying to teach him kung fu, and then another seven trying to keep him in a bullet proof vest because I learned that he would not dodge bullets." - Loomis in a Half Shell

While Michael Myers could move about in stealth, he expressed no desires to maneuver quickly in plain sight, and was thus susceptible to several gunshots. Of course, turtles in time live long and prosper, though Donald Pleasence died in 1995. Had he lived long enough to experience the mass hysteria known as "Halloween: Resurrection", he'd probably be very confounded if he saw Busta Rhymes pretending he knew kung fu, pretending to be Michael Myers, and maybe even pretending to be Michael Myers doing kung fu. Now, for God's sake, he can do kung fu?!

"He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons!" - Loomis Rolling Over in his Grave

So naturally, if Donald Pleasence is a turtle, then that explains how Dr. Loomis survived the explosion in Halloween II. He ducked into his shell. The senile doctor ninja aspect of his character also explained his axe-throwing abilities, as demonstrated in "Prince of Darkness". However, his character of Leo in "Alone in the Dark" is likely coincidental, as the film came out before TMNT even existed, though with obvious similarities, Kevin Eastman was surely inspired by Donald's turtle-like aesthetic and ninja abilities.

I've got a retarded, autistic, bi-polar, OCD, insomniac 10-year-old nephew I've got to take care of, and he's getting psychotic because he hasn't been medicated in weeks. He throws tantrums and screams like he's possessed by the devil, EVERY FUCKING DAY.

However, Child Protective Services wont let him get any medical coverage within 50 miles of here until they finish their "investigation" on this whole incident. More however is that they saw him being a fussy bastard today and decided to delay things even further, just because they're a bunch of miserable sadistic pricks who get paid thousands of dollars a month to do not a god damn thing.

Child Protective Services can suck my nuts!

When most people familiar with video games think of movies turned into video games, they shudder a little. They don't have the best reputation. Back in the '80s and '90s, if it was a movie, odds were, a shitty video game tie-in would follow. The Angry Video Game Nerd has covered quite a few of them.

What makes this game based on Walter Hill's 1979 classic any better? Well to start, it was made by Rockstar. Even if you aren't into video games, you've likely heard of their Grand Theft Auto series. Rockstar puts a lot of effort into their games and The Warriors was no different. Continue »

Any fans, good slasher trash. I am doing a rewatch of this for the October Challenge.

8/10

Welcome to another... Reviews with Ballz!

Today, I'll be covering: Tombs of the Blind Dead (1971) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067500/ , Return of the Evil Dead (1973) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068232/ , The Ghost Galleon (1975) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071256/ , and Night of the Seagulls (1976) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073461/. And yes, I know those years conflict with what IMDb lists. But the years Wiki lists conflict a little too, so I'm going by what it says on the back on my DVDs.

I recently decided to buy Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series via the The Blind Dead Collection box set. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the set itself. As you can see below, it's shaped like a coffin, which is really cool I think, and I can't complain about the quality of the transfers or anything. Continue »

I have this list for myself but figured I would post it here in case anybody is looking for modern recs. Obviously some may disagree with some listed or not listed. Here is every horror film I have liked so far from these years. I will obviously add to it as I see more films.
