Bonus Hot Shots of the Week: Easter Bunnies

Happy Easter! Here are some bunnies.

Behind the Scenes on The Howling

I’ve always told anyone who will listen that my affection for The Howling (1981) is unending. Directed by the cinematic wizard himself Joe Dante (Hollywood Boulevard, Gremlins, The ‘Burbs) from a script by indie legend John Sayles (Lianna, Eight Men Out, Lone Star), after radically altering a first draft by Terrence H. Winkless, The Howling … Continue reading Behind the Scenes on The Howling →

Lost and Found: Doom Asylum

First, a quick note: this review was written to evoke the delightfully lowbrow spirit of freewheeling fun from late night, cult movie show hosts (thank you, Elvira, Rhonda, and Joe Bob!) and glorious B-movie sites ( thank you, B-Movie Enema and House of Self Indulgence, to name just two!).

Sure, nostalgia and retro are part of our usual M.O. around here anyway, but hey, when you have a schtick you’re known for, it never hurts to lean into it and please … Continue reading Random Image Dump #20 →

Lost and Found: Night of the Juggler

Several years ago at my old blog, while writing about the criminally unsung Night of the Juggler (1980), I lamented that the now-forty-four year old movie is increasingly difficult to find, having never been released on DVD or Blu-ray. In the 1980s and early 1990s, I was introduced to the film thanks to my beloved … Continue reading Lost and Found: Night of the Juggler →
