If I have to pick one movie that rocked my childhood it’s Night of the Comet. Love me some Night of the Comet. Anyone who’s had HBO in the 80’s knows that they played the same handful of movies over and over everyday. Beastmaster, Swamp Thing, Tex, Cloak and Dagger, Clash of the Titans, etc.Continue reading “SCREAM FACTORY PICK OF THE WEEK: NIGHT OF THE COMET”

A true legend. By far my favorite film maker of all time. At least once a month I have to have a Carpenter marathon. Whether it’s a Horror marathon, or an Action marathon, I have to get my Carpenter fix. Master of the DIY philosophy, John rocks many hats, and surrounds himself with a loyalContinue reading “REAL STARS OF HOLLYWOOD: JOHN CARPENTER”

I wave my 80’s flag proud. You’re going to see me defend such classics as Blood Sport, Footloose, Purple Rain, Roadhouse, Last Dragon, etc. To me…they’re no guilty pleasures, they’re classics. It’s no argument that Van-Damme was one of the most popular Action stars in the 80’s. Before I get into the review, maybe IContinue reading “G.R.E.E.N.B.A.N.K. MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK:CYBORG”

“Macaroni and cheese…I love macaroni and cheese. I was raised on macaroni and cheese. Hey…nothing gets in between me and macaroni and cheese.” Part 3 Alright. First off for all you purists, Daniel is a good kid with a lot of flaws.

The summer of 1988 was a fucking trip. What should’ve been a miserable experience, somehow I made it a memorable one. Let’s see I was about 13, and had to spend a chunk of my summer vacation in summer school. No…it was nothing like the 80’s Mark Harmon movie. The one tolerable thing about thatContinue reading “COLT DRIVE CINEMAS”

Where do I begin? The Horror community is incredibly lucky and grateful to have an actor with so much talent embrace the genre the way Tony has. He brings so much poetry and theatric grace to the genre. The first movie I remember seeing Tony in was “Platoon.” Though he didn’t have much screen timeContinue reading “REAL STARS OF HOLLYWOOD: 05/20/2020 TONY TODD”

WITCHBOARD Witchboard (released in 1987) is a trip. It really was the kind of Horror film that really was rather ignored. The 80’s was more about franchises and spectacles. But there were these hidden gems, that you were aware of, but never saw. Movies like 976-Evil, The Stuff, The Gate, Night of the Demons, Kindred,Continue reading “SCREAM/SHOUT FACTORY PICK OF THE WEEK 5/1/2020”

REAL STARS OF HOLLYWOOD CHAPTER 2: 4/29/2020 LANCE HENRIKSEN by VHS Generation The master of intensity. The master of the thousand yard stare. Lance is by far my favorite actor. No doubt. He can be on screen for 30 seconds, give a look, and steal the movie. For those who are just tuning in, thisContinue reading “REAL STARS OF HOLLYWOOD CHAPTER 2: 4/29/2020 LANCE HENRIKSEN”

RESPECTING THE CLASSICS by VHS Generation It’s no secret that I am a Horror junkie. If theres any genre that would qualify me as an historian it would be Horror. However, if all I loved was Horror than I would be rather one dimensional, cliché, and boring. People that know me well would say I’mContinue reading “RESPECTING THE CLASSICS”
