There's a ton of horror movies out there, and just like albums, there are ones that don't get as much attention as they deserve. Here are some that I think deserve more attention. Trauma-Underappreciated movie from Dario Argento. Some say this was the start of his directorial downfall, but I'd disagree (I'd say it's "Phantom of the Opera"). Here, his daughter Asia stars as a bulemic girl who is taken into custody by a concerned cop. Oh, and there's a killer who decapitates his victems with a nifty noose device. Also, cool appearences from the likes of James Russo, Brado Dorrif, and Piper Laurie. Luther The Geek-No, not a nerd, but a circus geek. Here, a serial killer with a thing for biting necks (who also clucks like a chicken, and has a pair of cool metal dentures) is let out of jail-and terrorizes a mother, her daughter, her boyfriend, and a cop. Goofy, but oddly creepy. Warning Sign-Before there was "28 Days Later", there was this movie about a virus that infects the workers at a secret lab, turning them into maniacs whose skin is peeling off. The movie also stars Sam ("Law and Order") Waterson and Kathleen Quinlan. Blood Diner-Weird ass tribute to Hershell Gordon Lewis is one of the strangest horror comedies ever made. This movie deals with brothers trying to reawaken an Egyptian goddess by killing women-and that's just the start. From then on, we get zombies, cool visual gags ("battered girlfriend" is a favorite), and other things. Street Trash-A wall to wall celebration of bad taste, this sucker has liquor that causes people to melt and explode. Oh, and winos, necrophilia, gang rape, fart jokes, and a game of hot potato with a severed penis. Body Melt-More body exploding goodness. This time, it's a weight loss supplement. It's really confusing, but it's quit unforgettable, disgusting, and funny. The Stendhal Syndrome-Another underappreciated Film from Dario Argento. His daughter Asia stars again, this time as a police woman/past rape victim who finds herself slowly going insane while tracking down a serial killer. Interesting fact: When Stuart Gordon saw it, he was so disturbed he had to leave the theatre. I Drink Your Blood-Here's one kkktookmybabyaway might like: A cult of Charles Manson like hippies/devil worshippers get rabies, and cause havoc on a small town. Full of (poorly done) gore, bad acting, and other things that make 70's exploitation so awsome. Just Before Dawn-From the director of MST3K "favorite" "Squirm" and the cult favorite "Blue Sunshie" comes this cool little slasher, which mixes "Friday the 13th","Deliverance", and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" into a fun little movie. Junk-Japanese rip-off of Italian zombie movies is still a blast in my eyes. Plus, it's got a hot naked zombie chick, and a zombie that eats it's own flesh. That's all for now. Next time: Whatever comes to mind.

The Worst Horror Movie Sequals Ever Made
Gary Floyd commented on Gary Floyd's blog entry in How To Vibrate
It's pretty damn bad. -
Interesting Fact: "Dagon" was originally meant to be the follow up to "Re-Animator" (and was going to be called "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", which the movie is based on) but the studio thought it was too weird, and had no major appeal. Ironically, "From Beyond" is considerably weirder than "Dagon". I'm still waiting for the DVD date to that one being announced. Also, I always thought that "Hellraiser III" was the beginning of the downfall of the series. Here, Pinhead became more of a jokey Freddy Kreugeresque character, and all of the Cenobites were goofy instead of frightning or S&M based.

The Worst Horror Movie Sequals Ever Made
Gary Floyd commented on Gary Floyd's blog entry in How To Vibrate
At least "Jason X" (the one were he's in space) is intentionally funny, and "Jason Goes To Hell" had a teaser of sorts for "Freddy vs. Jason" at the end. Interesting fact: McConaughey considers his performance in ROTCM to be one of his best. -

-I forgot to mention in my last entry that I read both "WrestleCrap" and "The Death Of WCW". Still great stuff. -Anyways, I've changed my mind, and instead decided to list the worst horror movie sequals ever made instead of the worst movie sequals ever made. Here thay are, in no particualr order: Hellraiser: Bloodline-To me, this is the worst of the seven sequals. Sure, III was the beginning of the downfall, 5 and 6 were dreadful, and 7 and 8 were watchable (I kinda liked 7), but the fourth entry in the series is the worst because IMO, it had so many possibilities (in spite of it's tacked on sci-fi gimmick) to be good. Pinhead gets in some great lines ("Do I look like someone who cares about what God thinks?") and it has some interesting cenobites, as well as a cool backstory. However, it all feels rushed and incomplete. Basically, it feels like a wasted opportunity. Friday the 13th 8-The worst of the series, this one is really boring, and feels uninspired. Plus, Jason really doesn't do that much in Manhatten. Zombi 4: After Death-While "Zombi 3" is bad, it's at least entertainingly bad. This one is the worst of the series, as it has no interesting gore, characters, or even interesting Zombies. It's all just really boring, and proof that America isn't the only place were shitty sequals are made. Fun fact: Don "The Dragon" Wilson has a small role in the movie, and from what I read in a book, one of the lead actors is also a gay pornstar. Return of the Living Dead 4 and 5-These two movies are complete disasters in the world of zombie cinema, and a slap to the face of any ROTLD fan. Child's Play III-No interesting kills, an underused Chucky, and a horrible ending make this one a complete disaster. At least we got "Bride of Chucky" after this one. Pet Cemetary II-Dull, nonsensical, and really just pointless, this is one of the worst sequals to a Stephan King Adaptation I can think of. The Ring 2-To think, Iactually like the remake more than the Japanese original. Here, Samara becomes a cheap Freddy Krueger knock off, and loses everything that made her scary. Way to go Hollywood. Return Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-The only thing good in this movie is Matthew McConaughey as a psychopathic redneck named Vilmer. The rest of this (including Leatherface as a cowardly transvestite) is an insult. That's all for now. Next time: severely underappreciated Horror movies, part one

Horror. Don't matter if it's books, movies, games, tv, etc. If it's horror, I'll check it out.

Holy shit, I actually agree with you

Well, I'm back from my Memorial Day visit home. Nothing notable happened, so here's the uneventful events: -I finally bought The Sounds Dying To Tell This To You and Skinny Puppy's Last Rights. Both are great, especially The Sounds album. It's not great art, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. -I watched "Super Troopers". That movie just gets funnier everytime I see it. Come on, how could anybody hate that movie? -Also Watched "The Decline Of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years", and I liked it. It's a strange mix of depressing (Chris Holms drunk in his mother's pool) and hilarious (I have not seen that many people who dress alike since Highschool Gym). It's a bit suprising seeing that the band named Odin were a hair band, because with a name like that, you would expect something else. -Didn't watch Raw last night. Was it any good? -Preparing for finals this week and next week. Also, the weather here is nice, though I don't expect it to last very long. -It seems like Leena's new avatar has a picture of Jenna Haze. Good choice there. -Got a sunburn, but not a major one. I also ate a bunch of Peanuts, which lead to many trips to the bathroom. That's all for now. Next time: The worst movie sequals ever made.

The Worst Wrestling Show of All-Time
Gary Floyd replied to UseTheSledgehammerUh's topic in General Wrestling
Royal Rumble 94-Really, when you get past Owen turning heel, this show was a disaster. The Rumble itself had a non-finish, and then there was the Yokozuna vs. Undertaker casket match, which brought idiotic booking to a (then) all-time low. KOTR 95-What hasn't been said about this one already? Some ECW late period shows come to mind, but I don't remember their names. NWO Souled Out 96-I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. -
