Stenzel’s Dune

So I’m sitting in my recliner in my pajamas feeling a few steps above chopped liver and I’m listening to the soundtrack Jodorowsky’s Dune by Kurt Stenzel. How did I get to this record? What possessed me to order such a thing? Well first let me go down some Nyquil and I’ll explain. Be right […]

The Adventures of Turbo Kid

So last Friday night I watched one of the best low budget sci fi epics I’ve seen in a very long time. I think had I seen this movie when I was 10 years old I’d probably still look at it as a classic now. As it stands, this movie didn’t exist when I was […]

Ghost Story

I realize there’s been a lot of talk about horror soundtracks around here lately, but that’s just where I’m at right now. You dig? But listen, everything I’ve talked about up to this point is nothing compared to what I’m about to discuss. Yesterday I received in the mail what is easily the greatest horror […]

“Doom Metal Meets Miami Vice” : Nightsatan, Lasermetal, and their Post-Apocalyptic Grooves

Cover photo by Erika Rousku Turku, Finland is a city located on the southwest coast of Finland near the mouth of the Aura River. It was founded in the 13th century, making it one of the oldest cities in Finland. It was declared the European Capital of Culture in 2011, and in 1996 was […]

Growing Up Gory : A Horror Film Adolescence

I have to say that I was surprised and saddened to hear that Wes Craven died just a little over two weeks ago on August 30th. I mean, this guy’s films pretty much informed my movie viewing during my pre-teens and teen years. When he had a new movie dropping it was an event. This […]

The Guest

Nothing worse than a summer cold. It’s sunny and warm out and you’re feeling like there’s gauze shoved up into your sinus cavity and sandpaper is lining your throat. It’s truly miserable. I mean, at least when you’re sick in the dead of winter you really have no reason to be outside anyways. No lawn […]

Disasterpeace…Masterpiece

Let me preface this post first by saying I have not seen David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows….yet. I have every intention of watching it as soon as I can. It’s been on my radar for nearly a year now and from everything I’ve read about it to the trailer I am more than excited to […]

Mournful Synth-ony For Stylish Trash…

or, Frodo Baggins and the Magical Scalp. I’m not here to endorse the film Maniac. On the contrary, I’m here to say that if horror films -in particular the serial killer chasing the beautiful girl type- don’t float your boat, then this one is certainly not going to make you think twice about the genre. […]

Horror That’s Not Horrible: James Wan and his Ghosts

It’s not often I get excited about horror films anymore. More often than not they’re pretty much crap. I’ve talked about my lifelong love/hate relationship with the horror film genre. It started as a kid and has followed me up into adulthood. Though now, I’m much more pickier than when I was 12, 13 years […]
