I hereby submit my petition to rename Halloween season Kitaro season.

Underappreciated anthology TV: Amazing Stories episode 6, The Amazing Falsworth. Peter Hyams directs the hell out of this moody yarn that finds Gregory Hines as a nightclub psychic who senses a serial killer in the audience. I wish everything looked this good.

Absolutely obsessed with this commercial for CREEP PHONE, a 1-900 number from 1988 that swore up and down, for the cost of $2 per call, that you could talk to REAL GHOSTS AND ZOMBIES!!!!! The narrator on this is so wonderfully terrible. I adore this commercial

Being stretchered out like Heston at the end of Soylent Green, screaming “most modern anthology films aren’t really anthology films, they’re just a bunch of shorts strung together!”

For day 280 of my year long retrospective on made for TV movies that need a DVD/Blu Ray release, I chose the AMAZING Vampire, which premiered OTD in 1979. Richard Lynch plays a suave bloodsucker who meets his match when he goes up against two novice vampire hunters (Jason Miller, E.G. Marshall)

Big board game doesn’t want you to know that the Bandai Joy Family edition of I Vant to Bite Your Finger is the superior version.

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

What struck me most this viewing was that it’s as loquacious as it is visually striking. Truly a film made by a pair of writers, with its voice over narration, journal entries being read aloud, and wordy monologues. Also, Michael Greer kept making me think of porn actor/director Paul Thomas.

The opening kill is fucking insane 😂😂😂

I don’t think everyone fully realizes how badly they need an Obayashi directed made-for-tv riff on The Bad Seed this Halloween season.

Godzilla Legend, Shinji Nishikawa.

Sammo Hung as Dracula in The Victim vs Me as Dracula, age 10

#31DaysofHorror Day 3 POSSESSED 2 (1984), David Lai A detective & his family move into an apartment with a palatial cemetery view & let me tell you it's a real bargain if you don't mind hedonistic dog meat grubbing ghosts who enjoy murder, spanking each other & possessing your wife & child.

They say most people these days don’t even care that the Evil Toons house is also the Twice Dead house.

My new bio

Nothing can top the James Bridges penned, Alfred Hitchcock Hour adaptation of Bradbury’s The Jar, but I do love the NY art scene remake from the 80s Hitch revival series.

Coffin Baby is finally getting the respect he deserves. That’s right, Tobe Hooper’s late-period masterwork Toolbox Murders is on the Criterion Channel.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

I want to live in a world where it’s widely accepted that It’s Your Move is Jason Bateman’s finest work.

News to me: the Shaw Bros have an official YouTube page with loads of lesser known titles streaming for free with English subs. Now everyone can watch their swinging 60s super spy flick The Brain Stealers.

A remake that’s never talked about: Peter Strickland’s audio drama adaptation of Nigel Kneale’s The Stone Tape, from 2015.

What I see if I stand near a window for more than 10 seconds.

What Is Best In Life? Twisties according to this sword and sorcery inspired Twisties commercial 01/11/86

A collection of tales that can easily stand right alongside those from the crypt and the hood. Highly recommended.

Suspiria horror magazine. 1988

Next do a Pantyhose Hero/Don’t Give a Damn double that I’ll never publicly admit to owning.

Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist

Great article on Monthly Halloween, the shōjo horror manga magazine that ran from '86 to '95: www.ceiling-gallery.com/blog/2015/10...

A much needed batch of pre-orders.

36?!? My dude, just how many times have you entered the Twilight Zone?

Hanna Barbera animator Davis Doi once gifted Lupin III creator Kazuhiko Katō (aka Monkey Punch) this picture of Barney Rubble being startled by Lupin coming out of a Fred Flintstone costume.

Prestige TV is actually just an old British man sitting in a chair, reading you a scary story.

You had me at “performed by Eric Roberts”

Obscure YT of the day: Larry Cohenthon continues! LC wrote IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (1971) about blind actor trying to kill his wife & her lover! Richard Boone, Suzanne Pleshette, Stella Sevens, John Marley star! Directed by Robert Day (SHE)! youtu.be/bTuj9q_OCs4?...

This TV movie was originally the pilot for Momma the Detective, Larry Cohen’s attempt at making Esther Rolle the next Columbo. An absolute crime that never happened, but at least we have See China and Die.

The Fake Documentary Q team continues to be the best in the game.

Assembling a list of Hong Kong films you can currently stream on Tubi, including many of the new remasters from the Golden Princess catalog.

When I was 14 I had a closet full of boxless VHS tapes that I bought off a Chinese grocer named Uncle Benny, and they made my bedroom permanently smell like dried fish. Starting October 1st, you can stream a sampling of the films found in that closet on the Criterion Channel.

How could I not watch Sneakers tonight? I mean seriously. Only wish I was wearing this vintage Sneakers promo t-shirt.

Having myself a Redford night, first up The Hot Rock. (Loving how the Japanese poster makes George Segal look so macho)

We don’t, as a society, talk enough about this flurry of cameos in Casper (1995)

Inspired by the proton beams of the Giant Warrior from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the Mother Legion's formidable microwave beam from Gamera 2 is one of the coolest fuckin death-rays ever visualized for a kaiju movie.

‘Salem’s Lot w/ uzis meets First Blood w/ vampires aka the perfect late night read.
