This was actually a rumor last week after an image appeared of a purported featurette for the Blu-ray, but now it's official https://dailydead.com/stephen-kings-maximum-overdrive-is-coming-to-blu-ray-from-vestron-video/. On October 23rd, Maximum Overdrive will be released as part of Lionsgate's Vestron Video series. For the first time, the movie will include some extras besides the trailer.

Anybody watching Hulu's "Castle Rock"? It's a decent show, set in the Stephen King universe. Is there a name for his universe? The King-iverse?

So I've watched about half of this series, and Scott Glenn plays the character Alan Pangborn. Now, I've been hearing that name in the show, but I hadn't put the pieces together until now. Alan Pangborn is a recurring character in Stephen King's stories, and he'd even been in a few movies, too!

Back in 1993, the character of Alan Pangborn was in not... Continue »

I've always liked how this movie is family-friendly, but it still has some horror elements to it. You've got the wicked witch, setting the standards for all witch cliches for years to come, and then you have flying monkeys and tornados, and a bunch of mini-perverts.

I was reading up on some behind the scenes problems with this movie, and apparently, the munchkins (ages 40+) were all gambling and drinking on set, as well as molesting young Judy Garland (age 16). I wonder if Hans from 'Fr... Continue »

Anyone ever wonder what it's like to be a Cop? It sounds great, doesn't it? You basically get to do whatever you want. You can hurt anyone you want and get away with it, and you get all the free stuff you want where ever you go. Including drugs. You tell someone to give you something, and they have to. You're a cop! However, only the fittest, toughest, most honorable individuals are cut out for this line of work. That's why Tim Ritter looked to his... Continue »

I was just thinking, I wonder if this book was discussed by John Carpenter and friends, around the time they did Halloween 3? At that point, they were thinking of taking the franchise in the direction of a series of films loosely based on Halloween and/or Samhain, and what it has meant over the years to different cultures. This book could have inspired those conversations, or at least contributed ideas to them. Googling it together with John Carpenter, nothing much comes up, and I haven't hea... Continue »

So I signed up to https://www.filmaf.com the other day with the daunting task of cataloging my entire DVD/Blu-ray collection. It took me around two days to completion. I must be collecting DVDs for the best part of ten years now (and still do) - I think I have a decent collection. I thought I had around 2,000, but it is actually closer to 2,100 DVDs/Blu-rays.

My DVD/Blu-ray collection:

Necronomicon appearance in the Voorhees household more than an Easter Egg.

But hey, I always considered there to be some connection. Especially when they now have a Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash comic.

https://movieweb.com/jason-goes-to-hell-evil-dead-connection-explained/

I figured the last one ran its course.

I've been trying to remember the name of a movie I watched a few years ago. I would love to rewatch it, but I've forgotten the title. I thought it was The Changeling (1980) now I don't think it is.

It's from the 70's or 80's. Same in tone as The Changeling. The scene I remember most involves a man going to see a psychic. He and some other people hold a seance. I'm pretty sure the psychic is an old woman. Anyway, she starts to levitate out of the room and gets thrown down the stairs.

If any... Continue »

I have been trying to watch movies all morning, but I keep zoning out. Not sure if I start daydreaming or get so involved with my work that I lose track of what the hell is going on. I must have hit the rewind button 50 or more times now.

One minute people are talking, the next thing I know everyone in the film is dead.

I thought it might be fun to have a thread about things we hate. Maybe even a place to rant and let off some steam. It can be about anything from movies to just everyday life. You don't have to post your hates/rants here, but they are more than welcome. My intention of making this is not to offend anyone but to create interesting conversations. You can post about ANYTHING you wish. Happy Hating!

Bad Horror movies have always been an enigma. They're unlike bad movies from any other genre. Mainly due to the unexpected followings some of them acquire. A lot of the pre-70's stuff is bad simply because they're boring and slow. Most of us can agree on this. Later on, in the 70's through the 80's, we're showered with lovable, so bad it's good schlock such as Blood Freak and Basket Case. The golden age. Somehow,... Continue »

I remember when I was a kid being scared to death of going up the stairs at night. I always felt like someone was watching me. That feeling would intensify to the point I’d start running up the the stairs to my room and do a flying leap into the bed. Not only were the stairs a problem , I couldn’t risk something grabbing me from under the bed too! I still get creeped out a bit over the stair thing.

One childhood fear I still have almost as badly today is that of open closet doors. I can... Continue »

I missed it in theaters, but I watched it last night. Funny movie. On a first viewing, I'd hold it right up there with the first one. Now, rather than reviewing it, I figure I'll just post this clip of one of my favorite scenes:

And oh, what a month, huh? Everybody likes October because we go all out on horror movies. I mean, isn't that what life is all about? Especially here at Trash Epics. We love good movies, bad movies, exploitation, and cult cinema, but overall, we're definitely united in our love for horror. October is all about our favorite genre, so I'm hoping for a good season.

I hate to get into the dreaded statistical mode, but we haven't had much to talk about these past few months. Maybe that's just beca... Continue »

Any musicians here?? Or, anyone with experience with church music, or just any ability to read sheet music...?

I volunteer sometimes in a local community library, and people bring in boxes of donations all the time. It's usually books, of course, but sometimes people bring in old VHS tapes, CDs, etc. One time someone brought in some old sheet music. I couldn't really read it, except very, very basically being able to see that some notes were higher than others. But, I thought some of it... Continue »

I've never really understood this (but then, there are a lot of things in life I don't understand.)

Why does it gross people out so badly like it's the most heinous thing you can imagine finding in there? I'd be super grossed out if it was a bloody band-aid. Or a cockroach. Or a clump of hair. But like, just one hair? Just take it out. It's not that big a deal, is it? Sure, I'll tell the manager, but only so that the cook or whoever is aware and it doesn't happen to anyone else. If they wanna... Continue »

My Friend Dahmer
The Vanishing of Sidney Hall

I think I did this before, but different seasons yield different shows, so let's keep it up to date. Go ahead and rant about what tv shows you're watching, or just finished watching, or are excited to watch. Continue »

When one thinks of the term "cult classic", the first film to pop into their head is usually something from the 70's or 80's. Maybe early 90's. At least I assume such. I don't know about the kids of today, or even if this term exists in their world. If it does, then, I'd assume such status would also carry on over into the 2000's, because, to plenty of young people, the 2000's was like forever ago. So, it would be realistic to assume there a...

They gross me out. My room is more like an added on enclosure, and it's not always sealed well. Bugs get in. Some stupid... some disgusting. I don't mind the dirt dobbers so much, because they're clumsy stupid fuckers that go SPLAT when I hit them with my shoes. I can't stand waterbugs, because I'll scream like a little bitch if I see those. But what the hell kind of bug did I just encounter, and why does it concern me so much?

So there was this beetle looking thing that was about an inch lon... Continue »

Is it just me, or was this man one of the greatest actors to ever live? Sure, he usually played a drunk, but every movie he was ever in was made significantly better by his presence.

How 'bout those Brownrigg movies? Hopefully, I'm not the only fan out there who sees him as more than just the guy who made 1973's Don't Look In The Basement. Sure. That one was, by far, the best thing S.F. Brownrigg ever did, but he would soon prove to have more to offer than just the one hit. Of course Brownrigg would also prove, later on, that he can make really boring movies, as well. However, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Today, we're... Continue »
