Collection of clips depicting disgusting violations of the human body as The Thing (from another world, of course) starts to wipe out an icebound outpost of civilization.
With the sad passing of Monkees member Davy Jones, I wanted memories of better times and found this freak out from The Monkees LP, “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.” Early use of the Moog Synthesizer and Monkee hijinks amid all the pretty flashing lights highlight this promo piece.
“…and it will not stop coming after you until you are dead!” Well, that was a line from an ’80’s science fiction film but this REAL! This weird, robot contraption kind of gives me the creeps.
This dude has got to be flipped! A ramp launch across open ground into a 12 foot wide, 5 foot deep swimming pool. Crazy sick.
Some call it a contract ending or breaking recording project turned in to his record label. Lester Bangs referred to it as garage electronic rock. Whatever Lou Reed’s intention, Metal Machine Music is pretty much a consistent recording: It all pretty much sounds the same after 5 minutes but there is over an hour of material on the record/CD to “indulge” in. What we hear are moments of interest, maybe even melody seeping briefly out of the multitracked noise sludge before being sucked back in by the feedback monster. I remember listening to this sort of thing being hungover. What’s a few [More]
Another dittie – a love song. From The Damned. Singer Dave Vanian once upon a time favored a vampiric look. And guitarist Sensible wore feathers. Nice bit where they cavort around onstage with Sensible clinging to the broken neck guitar.
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.
Probably my all time favorite movie. This trailer is interesting in that it has the crude egg model and the tracking shot of the alien planet surface which are unique to the trailer and do not appear in the theatrical release. Hugely influential film.
What the heck? It’s getting nearer to Halloween. Take a look at some of these pictures which all show an abnormal subject!
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.
Cool little assemblage of familiar characters facing off in the dark streets of Gotham. Creepy Joker, as well! NICE!!!
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.
