The Red Circle

From the BOTTOM SHELF: WILD ZERO

WILD ZERO is, to elaborate on a friend’s summation, like watching Andrew W.K. cover a Dio album. You’ve got alien spaceships, forbidden love, the walking dead, and guys with glowing green eyes – all played with a Gibson Explorer pushed through an amplifier turned to eleven

Re-Animator

RE-ANIMATOR is more than just a great film. Its a barometer by which you judge your friends

Shaun of The Dead

By Tom Nix

Ignoring the fact that George A. Romero – yes, THAT George A. Romero – has publicly called this his favorite zombie film of all time (aside from his, natch), SHAUN pretty much exists comfortably in a class by itself when it comes to flicks featuring the walking dead

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.

Return of the Living Dead

By Ryan Brlecic

You saw Night of the Living Dead, right? Well what if I told you it was all real and that they made the movie to discredit its reality. And thus, you have the premise for this very off beat horror-comedy. As I hope to get around to shining some love on one of the few good parts of the 80′s – the brilliant horror movies made throughout the decade – I would be remiss to not mention this film on list of the great horror movies of any decade

Carnival of Souls

By Ryan Brlecic

One decision, one element, one fact and the world around you can suddenly become a very different place. John le Carre said it best, “Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.”

The Abominable Dr. Phibes

By Ryan Brlecic

Where can we find two better hemispheres, without sharp north, without declining west? My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, and true plain hearts do in thee faces rest. -John Doone, The Good-Morrow

Drag Me to Hell

Waitress: So you’re just going to sit here all night, drinking coffee?
Christine Brown: Yes… No! Maybe! Whats it to you?
Waitress: Honey, I’m working a job where tips is my living,
and coffee drinkers DON’T TIP!
Christine Brown: [Holds up envelope containing the cursed button] You keep the coffee coming honey, or I’ll give you a tip you won’t forget!
