Released in 1986 starring Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and newcomer Keanu Reeves. An under rated hockey movie. Right up there with Slap Shot, and Mystery, Alaska. Mickey Thomas was the singer for Starship. They’re hits include: We Built This City, and Nothing’s Gonna Stop us Now (from the movie Mannequin). Swayze and Reeves worked togetherContinue reading “MORBID MUSIC: STAND IN THE FIRE- MICKEY THOMAS FROM “YOUNGBLOOD.””

31 DAYS OF HOME
11 months of the year, I feel out of place, constricted, isolated, anti-social. For 11 months I feel like hibernating, closed in, the need to feel safe, asleep. I tolerate those 11 months knowing damn well my 1 month will come. October is my 1 month. For 1 month I feel safe, warm and calmContinue reading “31 DAYS OF HOME”
MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK:JACOB’S LADDER
An unbelievably scary film. In my top 10 favorites easy. Released in 1990, it really was the movie that ended the fun, slapstick, colorful horror, and pulled you into an unrelenting nightmare. This movie had such a mind fuck reputation that I actually got grounded for going to see this. From the director of FatalContinue reading “MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK:JACOB’S LADDER”
MORBID MUSIC: NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY- JOHN PARR FROM NEAR DARK
John Parr wasn’t a mega star, but if you grew up in the 80’s you’ve heard some of his stuff. Naughty, naughty was already a small radio hit, it just added to the chaos in the unforgettable bar scene in Near Dark. Other songs by John Parr: St. Elmo’s Fire, No More Lonely Nights fromContinue reading “MORBID MUSIC: NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY- JOHN PARR FROM NEAR DARK”
MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: NEAR DARK
Poetry…pure, uncut poetry. If I have to, absolutely have to pick a favorite 80’s Horror film. It would have to be Near Dark. It baffles me that even today this is an unknown film. I would’ve thought that after the smoke cleared, that this would have a bigger following. Never got to see this inContinue reading “MOVIE PICK OF THE WEEK: NEAR DARK”
MORBID MUSIC MEMOIRS: APRIL- WHITE SISTER FROM KILLER PARTY
I honestly couldn’t tell you how I ran into this one when I was a kid. I can’t even tell you if I liked it or not. Chances are, I saw the cover art at the local video store, and took a chance. The memorable thing about this movie was the beginning. It starts offContinue reading “MORBID MUSIC MEMOIRS: APRIL- WHITE SISTER FROM KILLER PARTY”
MORBID MUSIC: BACK TO THE WALL- DIVINYLS A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: DREAM MASTER
This song brings back so many memories. A great Summer. Please read “Summer to Remember” blog entry for details. Pretty funny story. This was the MTV Nightmare. Funny though…None of these songs were hits, and none of these songs were on MTV. Didn’t stop me from picking up the album at Tower and playing itContinue reading “MORBID MUSIC: BACK TO THE WALL- DIVINYLS A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: DREAM MASTER”
SCREAM FACTORY PICK OF THE WEEK: PUMPKINHEAD
Sorry guys…I’m dropping the ball this week. Haven’t been feeling too good this week, and I’m having a hard time keeping my strength up to write constantly. So bare with me…I’m doing my best. I have no problem saying that Pumpkinhead is awesome. I remember seeing this in theaters back in 88. I was alreadyContinue reading “SCREAM FACTORY PICK OF THE WEEK: PUMPKINHEAD”
MORBID MUSIC: BRAVE NEW LOVE- ALIEN THE BLOB (88)
Kind of reaching the last half of the rocking 80’s horror soundtrack. There’s really not much of a soundtrack with the Blob. Great score. But wasn’t really trying to cash in on the 80’s metal trend. Saves this song for the end credits. Til this day I’m still a sucker for these songs. It’s thoseContinue reading “MORBID MUSIC: BRAVE NEW LOVE- ALIEN THE BLOB (88)”
MORBID MUSIC: HIS EYES-PSEUDO ECHO FRIDAY THE 13TH V: A NEW BEGINNING
Really sets a dark mood for this specific kill scene. Goth girl Violet alone in her room doing the robot. This should be cheesy, but the song really makes it work. G.R.E.E.N.B.A.N.K.
