Fun facts: The Majorettes (1986) was written by the cowriter of George Romero’s seminal Night of the Living Dead (1968) and directed by the actor who played the cemetery zombie in that same film. A nice pedigree that surely must bode well for The Majorettes, right? Well, ah, not quite. No, those trivia nuggets mean … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Majorettes

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. It’s a preemptive move by Will to keep himself locked away in the room on the night of a … Continue reading Michelle Monday
Happy Halloween, All You Ghouls and Boils
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

Betty Grable getting her spook on. Morgan Fairchild’s early eighties witch photoshoot lives rent free in my brain at all … Continue reading Bewitching Visions
Queen Ingrid

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
What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024
Before starting this jam post I quick double-checked the math and, yup, it’s been about fourteen months since my one and only “What I’ve Been Watching” post. Boy howdy, where’d the time go? I had planned to do these semi-regularly (like, every few months maybe?), but the first one took so long to write and … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024
Femme Fatales Magazine
The magazine Femme Fatales paid loving tribute to film and television actresses during its years in circulation, between 1992 and 2008. The articles and interviews with screen goddesses covered the gamut, from low to high brow, and everything and everyone in between. It was probably the only magazine on the stands that was just as … Continue reading Femme Fatales Magazine
