"Carnival of Souls" is one of the best horror movies of the 60's.

Didn't Todd Rundgren write a song about him?

04.) Carnival of Souls (1962) Plot: After a car accident, A woman finds herself in a strange carnival of the undead. Review: One of the best pre Night of the Living Dead zombie movies (yes, the undead existed in movies before that-and they didn't eat human flesh either), "Carnival of Souls" is also a horror classic. Made for about $33,000, and released in drive in theaters with little fanfare, it has sense become heralded as a classic-and rightfully so. The film itself feels like a nightmare meets a Twilight Zone episode, and the zombie make up isn't that great (again, made for $33,000), it nevertheless is a haunting gem, well acted throughout, and containing a killer climax to boot. In an interesting turn of events, the movie was more influenced by the likes of Bergman than the other drive in quickies of the time, which probably explains why it originally went ignored upon it's original relase. If you want to see it, it's public domain, and easy to find. If you want to get it on DVD, get the Criterion Collection 2-Disc version, and while I love MST3K, avoid the version with Mike Nelson on commentary mocking it (seriously Mike, stick to ripping on bad movies.) Verdict: 10/10 A horror classic that deserves to be seen by everyone-even those who normally don't watch horror. Next Time: The Dead Pit.

Tonight's "Fear Itself" was the best episode of the series so far.

Can we please kill Glenn Beck? Please?

That was the Edward Lee/John Pelan novella. Good book. The comic involves a 30's mobster vs. supernatural evil.

Universal wants to do an adaptation of the comic "The Goon."

is fucking sad, man. Imagine him sitting there typing all that out and then just letting out a giant sigh while he stares longingly at his half-full shelf of anime DVDs. Reading that is like seeing a dog that's been left out in the rain or some shit. Ughh/ Yeah. I kinda feel the same way on a lot of that stuff (not including the close personal relationships with Mother Nature and Father Jehova) but you just don't say that shit out loud, especially if you're trying to attract someone. Hey, wait one damn minute. I just realized that I live in the same state with the little bastard. Not like it matters ALL that much, since Texas is like the size of the moon and El Paso is about a week's drive from here, but still... The thing is, CronoT's life is a tragicomedy really. He's pathetic, and you laugh at him because of this, but I actually kinda feel bad for him here. Plus, how many hardcore anime fans aren't virgins? Yeah, I thought so. The closest we have to CronoT right now is Deon, and even then they are way too diferent, as you can have at least a little sympathy for CronoT here, while Deon is just a worthless piece of shit who deserves all of the bad things that happen to him. At least he's real, unlike wildpegasus, who took his gimmick into overdrive and drove people crazy via exaggerations and whatnot.

Has "Dawn of the Dead" taught you nothing?

That's why this reminds me of the "Astroboy" thread.

This is probably the most well known zombie movie you'll see me review here. This is mostly for lesser known zombie movies. It wouldn't hurt if you guys added comments to those also.

Why am I getting flashbacks from the "Astroboy" thread?

"Blood Feast" is really improtant for being the first movie in color to feature graphic gore. Granted, it's a terrible movie on all accounts, but it's influence is undeniable.

This one is the only entry in the series I'll probably watch more than once.

I loved it the first time when it was Bruce Campbell. Not so crazy about the wannabe ripoff. Why? It's a whole subgenre of horror movies now, and a really terrible one at that. Like torture is something new in horror. With that kind of thought, I guess "Last House on the Left", "Salo", the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and even "Blood Feast" are "torture porn." Jesus, get that sand out of your vagina and quit being such a weepy pussy when it comes to certain horror movies you weepy pussy.

I frequent bars. Who doesn't? That out of the way, here is a list of songs I don't want to hear in a bar ever again, and why. Bon Jovi-"Livin' On a Prayer" and "Bad Medicine"-There is nothing worse than coming into a bar and hearing a bunch of drunk fratboy's warbling Bon Jovi off key. These songs are the worst offenders, and need to be put to sleep in bars. Metallica-"Enter Sandman"-It's done to death people-we get it, you like to sing along to it after a long day, and then get high fives from your best pals. Also, what is up with tough guys singing along to "Nothing Else Matters" and getting all weepy. That song has the power to turn these guys into pussies in no time. Anything from Kid Rock-Really, just stop playing anything from him. Don't you ever wonder if the DJ, or if you frequent strip clubs (I don't-sorry) the strippers hate having to hear this, or at least get tired of it? Just stop playing this guy for the love of God. Garth Brooks-"Low Places"-It's like the ultimate drunk redneck asshole anthem. It's cancer to the ears. I'm from Southern Ohio, and if there is any modern country anthem that needs to be retired the most, it's this one. Fergie-"Fergilicious"-This has replaced "All I Wanna Do" and the works of Alanis Morrisete as the anthem from obnoxious FUPA and Gunt fat girls going crazy anthem. Anything from Jimmy Buffet-Along with The Eagles and John Mellancamp, nothing fills me with more rage than the works of Jimmy Buffet. Cartman was right about him BTW. Bob Seger-Turn the Page-It gets even worse if it's karaoke night. Actually, never go to a bar-ANY BAR-during karaoke night. AC/DC-"Highway to Hell," "Back in Black," and "Shook me All Night Long"-I like thse songs, but bars have ruined them for me some. Def Leppard-"Pour Some Sugar on Me"-Actually, girls dance really slutty when this plays, so keep playing it. So instead, let's go with... Poison-"Every Rose has it's Thorn"-There, much better. Anything from Sheryl Crow-Fat chicks with Jeff Hardy T-Shirts love singing along to her. It's as awful as you might think. Those are my pics. Feel free to add your own.

I've heard ZZ Top played a few times. Never heard CCR played though. People really love to play "Roadhouse Blues." Fitting, but I never liked The Doors. Jim Morrison was a horrible song writer.

One of my faveorite CronoT moments is when he came back as Inuyasha. Anyways, cronoyasha complained about that Chuck Norris cartoon replacing Inuyasha as an April Fools prank. Wildpegasus then told him this: When wildpegasus tells you off, you should go kill yourself.
