Giallogy Meets The Bombshell: The Sweet Body of Carroll Baker

In which we honor, celebrate, worship, fetishize, objectify, and generally enthuse over the Sweet Body of Giallo Queen Carroll Baker. Every so often with Giallogy I’ll focus on an actor or director, usually ones with strong connections to the genre. This time I’m shining the bright yellow spotlight (get it?) on a woman I’ve dubbed … Continue reading Giallogy Meets The Bombshell: The Sweet Body of Carroll Baker →

Michelle Monday

Ho ho ho… Wait, that’s not Michelle! Well, it is a Michelle, just not the Michelle that you’re used to seeing around here. For those unaware, this Michelle’s surname is Monaghan, and, like Pfeiffer, she’s tall (5’7”), leggy, and acts in movies. Probably my favorite of Michelle Monaghan’s work would have to be Kiss Kiss … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Michelle Monday

One of my favorite scenes in Wolf (1994) is when Michelle Pfeiffer’s Laura Alden enters her would-be lover Will Randall’s (Jack Nicholson) hotel room for a sexy rendezvous, only to find Will handcuffed to the radiator.

Jenna Kanell as Tara and David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown, clowning around on the set of Damian Leone’s Terrifier (2016). I went to a jam-packed horror convention last year around this time and the place was positively crawling with Art the Clown cosplayers. Lemme tell you, he’s one spooky motherfucker to cross paths … Continue reading Happy Halloween, All You Ghouls and Boils →

Queen Ingrid

I once referred to the late, great, polish-born actress and writer Ingrid Pitt as the High Priestess of Horror. The curvaceous beauty with the seductive accent has been referred to by many sobriquets: England’s Scream Queen, the Queen of Gothic Horror, the Queen of Hammer Horror, etc. Even though Ingrid only made a few horror … Continue reading Queen Ingrid →

King of New York

If you’re reading this site semi-regularly, it should come as no surprise that I spend a lot of time thinking about the various media and pop culture of my youth. I’m feeling particularly nostalgic right now, thanks to the seasonal switch from summer to autumn, which always puts me in the mood to reflect on … Continue reading King of New York →
