10.21.09 by Widge @ 6:37 am  I consider myself pleased to have stumbled across this: it's A One Way Ticket to Hollywood, a feature-length interview/retrospective concerning the life and career of one of our favorites, Peter Cushing. While the content is, as you might expect, not limited to his horror work (everything from Hamlet to Star Wars is also included)--this is Peter Cushing for crying out loud. So it's definitely within our jurisdiction for 32 Days of Halloween. And it doesn't appear to be in print on DVD...so enjoy it while you can, amigos. And consider this a little 32 Days present for Rox as well... Categorized as: Movies

10.20.09 by Widge @ 7:00 pm  Stumbled upon and was reminded of this gem, so we could continue on the sketchy theme of movies of "The X From Y," if you know what I mean. Like last year's They Came From Beyond Space. Or From Hell It Came. Or hell, even Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yeah, you get it. Hey, we got thirty-two days to fill, folks. You wind up inventing and discarding a lot of themes. Anyway, revisiting this film all I can think is "Brain creatures...why did it have to be brain creatures?" Categorized as: Movies

10.20.09 by Widge @ 12:41 am Originally I was trying to find something that would go along with The Fearless Vampire Killers snippet that was posted for last year's Day 21 of 32 Days of Halloween. But then I happened across this incredibly silly short film: Oscar Wilde's Frankenstein. And I had to drop everything and share it. Embroidery has never been so hilariously terrifying in the history of cinema. Please watch this and then imagine Stephen Fry's reaction. (You can see his take on Dracula here, BTW.) Direct link for the feedreaders. Back in 2007, we were enjoying a George C. Scott trailer twofer. Categorized as: Movies

10.19.09 by Widge @ 11:37 pm Okay, so after this morning's Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde trailer, once I realized we could post the entirety of this next one...well, how could I resist? Day 20 of 32 Days of Halloween is now officially blaxploitation horror day with Blackenstein: The Black Frankenstein. No, I'm not kidding.

10.19.09 by Widge @ 3:08 am So for 32 Days of Halloween, I try to stick with themes...um, themes that were sort of setup, normally arbitrarily, over the time we've been doing 32 Days (three years). Last year we posted the trailers to both Blacula and the sequel, Scream Blacula Scream, so it seemed like a no brainer to find another blaxploitation horror trailer to post here. In fact, I thought, hey, I could probably find two or three and make a big post out of it. Then I saw the trailer for this, and my brain shut off. Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde might possibly be the most awesome trailer you will see this week. It is art. Ridiculous, ludicrous, seriously-did-somebody-make-this art...but art, nonetheless. Also, warning: boobs. About three seconds of bare breastage at the very beginning so more than likely NSFW. Categorized as: Movies
