Issue #1 of The B-Movie Film Vault GENRE WATCH is online!

After weeks of tweaking code, painstakingly pouring through websites to get all the necessary info I needed, and putting it all into an easy to digest format, I am happy to present the first issue of The B-Movie Film Vault's GENRE WATCH! I'd tell you more about it, but I'm pretty darned tired and I think this new section of the Vault will speak for itself. Head on over and see what DVD, Blu-ray, and theatrical releases all of us cult and b-movie fans have to look forward to this month and feel free to leave a comment. Any feedback concerning the Genre Watch blog would be greatly appreciated.

Well g'night b-movie fans; I'll blog ya later!

Where in the world is the Vault Master?

Currently sitting at home, about to get ready for work, and I'm still feeling pretty crappy. I've been hit by the flu and it is a powerful opponent. (I'd rank it well above the common cold and just below a full-blown case of "Captain Tripps.") In between painful coughing fits and frequent worshipping of the "porcelain god," I've been tinkering with the first issue of "Genre Watch" all week and I believe I'm about ready to put the remaining three-quarters of the article together and get it posted.

Once that's completed, I'm going to attempt to get some new reviews up on the site. In particular, I want to review a real "turkey" of a film for Thanksgiving, and thanks to visitors to the Vault, it looks like "Godmonster of Indian Flats" is the film of choice.

In any case, I gotta run. Stay tuned for some new stuff very soon b-movie fans!

Still recovering from Halloween weekend.

I'm still pretty tired from this past weekend. I didn't party hard, but I ate stuff that in great quantities, could probably kill lesser men. So much candy, and pizza, and wings, and cider, and hot cocoa, and soda, and Doritos, and... well, you get the idea.

I was going to do a bit o' writing last night but was way too tired, so I'm hoping that after work tonight, I'll be ready to sit down and get back to finishing up all the stuff I wanted to post in time for Halloween. (Which amounts to quite a bit actually, what with two capsule reviews, one full-length roundtable review, an article, and the premiere of Genre Watch all sitting there... STARING AT ME!)

So stay tuned for more updates b-movie fans; I'll blog ya later!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

WOOHOO! All Hallow's Eve is upon us; I'm about to head out to Kutztown to pick up my best friend and then we're headed to a Halloween party later this evening. I hope you all have a fun, happy, and safe Halloween. But before you go out and have a good time, be sure to watch the following commercial from my sponsors as Silver Shamrock Masks Inc. And be sure to wear your official skeleton, witch, or pumpkin mask while you watch this commercial for an EXTRA special surprise.



And here is an apparently horror film that we may never ever see on the big screen (what's the big deal Warner Bros?!). Enjoy the trailer for "Trick R' Treat!"



I have some stuff in the works for the Vault and should have some of it up tomorrow night. I was hoping to get it all posted for Halloween but my time was spent on other projects (Guitar Hero World Tour cough cough). So have a great night all you vamps and ghouls and I'll see you back at the Vault soon!

Evil Dead II.... Mentos Commercial

I didn't post anything Halloween-oriented yesterday, so here's the consolation prize: A short Mentos commercial parody made with footage from "Evil Dead II!"



I started cleaning up the house for my eminent (post) Halloween party and my god.... I lived in this filth for the last few weeks? My DVD collection had an inch of dust on it and that is inexcusable! In any case, I should have this place whipped into shape in another day or two, then I've gotta get some junk food and beverages for my guests on Sunday. This task will be a little hard to accomplish as I have Guitar Hero World Tour and the new MST3K boxed set arriving via UPS tomorrow, but I shall persevere and be 100% ready to watch some horror flicks and chow down on some copious amounts of chips, candy, pizza, wings, and whatever else I can get my hands on.

There's only a few more days left until Halloween, so you best be ready b-movie fans! Blog ya later!

The Life and Death of a Pumpkin plus other Halloween-oriented Youtube vids.

From the guys who came up with CHAD VADER comes this very odd and somewhat creepy tale of a pumpkin's sad and short lifespan.



Weird stuff eh? And here's a little clip from National Geographic explaining the origins of our favorite holiday:



Though I am against having Christmas-ish lights for Halloween, I have to admit that this is cool:



Well that's enough stuff for tonight. I need to get some shuteye because..... TOMORROW NIGHT IS MONDO MOVIE NIGHT AND THEY'RE SHOWING "DEEP RED" ON THE BIG SCREEN! WOOOOOHOOOOO! And yes, I will be writing up an article about that at the Vault... just in case you were wondering. Interested in going to the show? Tickets are $6.00; showtime is at 10 PM on Saturday, October 25th at the Endless Mountains Theatre, located on the Scranton-Carbondale Highway in Scranton, PA! Hope to see you there! Blog ya later b-movie fans!

Halloween Horror Mega Mix!

The Halloween hijinks continue with this very cool Halloween MegaMix I found on Youtube. Many of the classics are represented here, and the editing is pretty damn good. It's seven minutes long, but kept my interest throughout, so those of you with ADD should be able to sit through it. ;-)



Only a week left until Halloween! I just ordered my costume (a bit pricy... but that's because I had the shipping expedited so I would get it in time) and hope that the damn thing fits. I can't wait to put it on and shock my friends (and coworkers). What exactly is my costume? Well... unfortunately I cannot say (some of my friends actually do swing by here apparently) but here is a hint:



Yeah... that's pretty much a dead giveaway but I still won't SAY what the actual costume is. ;-)
