10.26.09 by Widge @ 7:00 pm  Last year's "Scary Women Double Feature" led me to seek out yet another pair of films that would chill the hearts of men and make them fear for their very souls. Because as we've said: zombies, we can handle. Giant monsters, sure thing. Sea monsters, easy. Vampires and werewolves, check and double check. But put men up against women and we lose. Every single time. Except--sometimes--in the movies. But I shall say no more. Enjoy this double feature of Cat-Women of the Moon and Queen of Outer Space, both cautionary tales of what we might have to contend with when we become a more space-faring race than we are now! Surely NASA has contingency plans for these scenarios... Categorized as: Movies

10.26.09 by Widge @ 3:40 am  This just might be the most awesome thing you see this week. And it's your mental sorbet for today because the sheer amount of win will steel you against the work week that is to come. It's John Carpenter's The Thing but "fully sweded," i.e. remade in the spirit of the film Be Kind Rewind, i.e. done on the cheap and hilarious. And, sadly, better than Carpenter's recent filmography.

10.26.09 by Widge @ 2:33 am  So I was thinking about franchises, seeing as how last year at this time we posted the full array of original Mummy franchise trailers. And when poking around for another franchise to do that with, this one leapt out, spiky bits and all. So in another dedication going out to Rox of Spazhouse, here's the full array of trailers for the Phantasm franchise. I must admit, the first trailer spends so much time asking what the film is, you start to wonder if the questions or rhetorical or if it's pleading with the audience for an answer.

10.25.09 by Widge @ 9:18 pm  So after looking at the Mario Bava twofer that we opened Day 26 with last year during 32 Days of Halloween, I yanked out another own his films to share with all of you in its entirety: Planet of the Vampires. It's a sci-fi film that screams what it is to the rafters: sci-fi pulp at its pulpiest from 1965. Yes, if you can't figure out this is 60s sci-fi pretty darn quickly then you need some serious remedial sci-fi cinema history. Enjoy. Categorized as: Movies

10.25.09 by Widge @ 8:59 pm  Inspired by last year's Mario Bava trailer twofer, it's time we take a look at some of the delights that Italy has to offer the discerning horror aficionado. Lucio Fulci is here, director of Zombi 2 aka Zombie aka "that movie where a zombie fights a shark." He also directed City of the Living Dead. Here, have a trailer: Categorized as: Movies
