Cool little assemblage of familiar characters facing off in the dark streets of Gotham. Creepy Joker, as well! NICE!!!
What the heck? It’s getting nearer to Halloween. Take a look at some of these pictures which all show an abnormal subject!
Nice colorful, hypnotic pattens generated in time to the music track. Meant for recreational purposes only. hehe
Certainly an interesting pairing of acting talent in this oater. Jack Nicholson plays a horse thief, who, along with his fellow gang, are systematically picked off by an eccentric, manic bounty hunter, Marlon Brando, hired by a cattle rancher whose stock has been stolen by the thieving bunch. This film is kind of a combination of genres: western and slasher. This was slasher before it existed! Halloween was still a couple years out. Members of Jack’s gang, including the great talents Harry Dean Stanton, John Ryan, Frederic Forrest, and Randy Quaid, are killed one after the other in some new graphic fashion. Yes. [More]
I am a sucker for some of these vids. This clip is intriguing because the object in question is “very strange” and changing in appearance. The video was taken in the daytime which allows more detail to be examined. As in a great many of these UFO videos, there is a lot of blurry, shaky handheld camera work.
Night Ranger was a band that made it big in the formative days of MTV. Apparently, a film school friend recorded their music video and it was given heavy air play on the fledgling music video network. With a limited amount of content to air, Night Ranger’s “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” received heavy play on the network. The public took note and music video stars were born. A succession of pop metal hits was the spawn. “When You Close Your Eyes” follows the Night Ranger formula and features the band members exhibiting their thespian skills. The net results [More]
Placed here for laugh value only. Truly, one of the worst movies I have seen. Cash in on the stalker/slasher and alien film genres popular with movie goers at the time. Here we have an alien visitor to our planet vaporizing innocents with his laser blasting eyeballs. William Devane to the rescue to deliver us from the unwarranted alien barbequing of earthlings. A suitable double bill partner for other frightful turkeys of the ’70’s such as Nightwing, The Car, The Manitou, etc.
This movie has been playing a lot on cable TV. It is, in fact, a very fine film. Paul Newman is a man who was brought up among Native Americans in the Old West. His attempt to enter into “civilized society” meets with many harrowing encounters with man’s inhumanity to man. There are quite a few characters appearing in this film for whom enough just isn’t good enough. They want more than the what they’ve already got, no matter how sizable, and do not care who or what is forced out of the way on their quest to get the [More]
An enjoyable time filler fantasy picture that follows a team that captures a live abominable snowman or yeti. Forrest Tucker plays a sham naturalist who talks of sharing the capture of a yeti to the world as a scientific wonder. As the movie progresses, we find out that he is in fact a P.T. Barnum in the making who wants to parade the beast around the world at fair and make a killing at the box office. Peter Cushing is a more traditional scientist who comes to detest the intentions of Tucker. Very atmospheric music and sets when the team [More]
Another trend setter. Carpenter’s masterpiece centering on the immortal, knife-wielding psychopath, Michael Myers. Much creepiness and terror as Myers stalks Jamie Lee Curtis and her friends. Lots of shadows, lurking, mayhem, frights. A true classic.
I have given a minute or two of thought to what I would enjoy most viewing on Halloween. I would most definitely need to take the day off of work because this lineup would probably consume a good 10 hours. Sacrifices must be made! Granted this is the first of what may be a series of some of my most adored movies piled together in one marathon viewing. These movies are what came off the top of my head at the time and can definitely be mixed and matched and replaced with other selections. I think that makes sense. 5 [More]
One of my all time favorite pics! An alien hunter on steroids makes quick work of a military unit conducting operations in the jungles of South America. Exhilirating action and quite a few scares await the viewer. Arnold at his peak.
This is the full movie version of Tales From The Crypt (1972). A couple of nice segments in this British horror anthology. Fantastic ghoul makeup applied to Peter Cushing.
A documentary detailing the history of the vampire character Dracula, assembled using various movie clips and the narration of horror icon, Vincent Price. You’ll see clips from the silent “Nosferatu” and other cinematic appearances featuring the ancient blood sucker such as Lugosi in “Mark of the Vampire”, and the 1950’s alternative vampire film, “The Vampire” . “VPD” is a good flick to curl up by the fire to watch as we come upon the Autumn season and move closer to Halloween. Heavy on the garlic fries. Hehe.
