The Red Circle

Prince of Darkness

By Tom Nix

This is the first time that The Master John Carpenter will show up in these mini appreciations. It will assuredly not be the last.

The Innocents

By Tom Nix

Experience a 1960’s nightmare that uses what you think you see and hear against you. Truly old school, effective horror.

The Long Good Friday 002

The Long Good Friday is a continuing weekly column that tries to thematically or tangentially link together three varying films that would make one hell of an evening at the home theater. Most of these flicks are readily available from Netflix, Blockbuster or Amazon, and some are even available on demand. This is our attempt at a gateway drug to irresponsible movie-watching.
NOTE: This article contains major video spoilers. Some of these movies will be discussed later as part of the October Horror Feature. There is also a LOT of blood.

The Fly

Seth Brundle: [to Veronica] You’re afraid to dive into the plasma pool, aren’t you? You’re afraid to be destroyed and recreated, aren’t you? I’ll bet you think that you woke me up about the flesh, don’t you? But you only know society’s straight line about the flesh. You can’t penetrate beyond society’s sick, gray, fear of the flesh. Drink deep, or taste not, the plasma spring! Y’see what I’m saying? And I’m not just talking about sex and penetration. I’m talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh! A deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool!
