Every Day is Halloween EP:10 - The Death and Rebirth of Physical Media



This is an episode I have been wanting to do for quite some time. Tim Anderson and I sit down and discuss where physical media is headed. With things like Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services, it feels like there is no more room (pun intended) for Blu-Ray's, DVD's and all other types of physical media these days. But don't fret just yet my haunted collector! This episode might just open your eyes!

Hey! Orion Pictures is back!


"Orion Pictures is alive again. The mini-major studio and distributor behind The Terminator, RoboCop and Best Picture Oscar winners Amadeus, Platoon, Dances With Wolves and The Silence Of The Lambs was acquired by MGM in 1997 after flailing financially through most of the 1980s and ’90s, but it fell off the map within a few short years. Now MGM quietly is positioning Orion Pictures as a specialty multiplatform distribution arm, starting with the October release of horror sequelThe Town That Dreaded Sundown." -Deadline.com

A Night in the Woods (review)

I review films all the time for Bloody Disgusting's News from the Crypt. So many I sometimes forget what the hell I've seen. (radio, what a business!) I'm here on my blog ready to rectify that!
Here is one of just the many new releases hitting store shelves and probably your Netflix instant queue soon.


Shaky cam haters STAY AWAY! This picture makes The Blair Witch Project look like it was filmed by the most steady of hands.

A Night in the Woods is a story about three not so close friends going on a hiking trip. Sexual tensions and strained relationships come to a head. Paranoia reaches its peak all while much darker forces start rearing their eerie yet, plot hole'ish heads.  

If you want to watch a couples relationship go down the tubes for 82 minutes, be my guest. The only thing scary about this movie was the fact that the main character had to film everything. I mean everything! I get the film has to tell the story through this plot device. But it is so forced down your throat that by the end of this movie, you would not be surprised if the lead pulled a camera right out his unmentionable.

Reading "From the makers of Bronson & Monsters" had me a bit excited because I loved Monsters! But when I took a closer look using my friend the internet...I found that the two guys who helped produce Monsters helped produce this with the star from Monsters. So the tag should really read "From the guys who gave Gareth Edwards money to make Monsters."

In the end Monsters is not completely awful. In fact the locations the crew shot at looked beautiful! The cameras they used really made this movie look wonderful on bluray! At times these gorgeous shots just dragged though. Probably so we could escape the constant nagging and whining from our three stars.

Viewer beware, for this movie may leave you cursing during the films final stretch.






I'm giving "A Night in the Woods" 1 skull out of 5. AWFUL. I'll stick with the Cabin in the Woods thank you very much.

Now watching: Carrie (2013)


Carrie wasn't bad. I do agree with Tim Anderson that there really isn't a need for a remake that just follows the original movie almost to the T. Take some chances and change things up a bit! But it was visually fun and Moretz along with Moore did fantastic jobs as The White's.

Now Playing: Bloody Homecoming

Yup, It's just as bad as it sounds. Everything from the typical writing trope to the lack luster acting. "

Three years after a tragic accident leaves a student dead at the annual Homecoming dance, a group of senior friends anxious about the return of Homecoming Night to their sleepy Southern town find themselves visited by a deadly presence from their past in the dark and desolate halls of their very own high school."

It's almost a lesser version of My Bloody Valentine. I couldn't help but notice little things like sound and lighting issues, but I don't want to bore you all with minimal details. There are no clues leading into the twist, but there are a ton of obvious lead on's that nowhere to throw off the viewer.If you do get a chance to watch this disaster, pay attention to how long the "pouring gasoline" scene is, also watch the woman pouring the gasoline's face. It's pretty damn amusing.
