Cinema Suicide

I ran way late with this update for my column, The Weekly Bodycount over at Sound On Sight, but here it is. Frequently being pigeonholed as a horror guy led me to inject my latest horror column with some Asian flavor since I happen to be just as big a fan of martial arts as [...]

The first Marvel Zombies series was a lot of fun as Earth’s (and otherwise) mightiest heroes were infected with a disease that turned them into zombies.  Aided by their individual powers, they managed to eat the entire Marvel Universe, including Galactus!

Think back to when you were a kid and you discovered horror movies. How old were you?  What was your first exposure to the genre?  According to my parents, I was a thrill-junkie from day one, at four years old pining for roller coasters and loud music but a year later I would see something [...]

I have a lot of fond memories surrounding Mystery Science Theater 3000.  By the time that I caught up to it, it was airing nightly at midnight on Comedy Central, which seems only appropriate since the entire affair had that sort of vibe going on.  They really communicated the psychotronic concept and the lunacy on [...]
