Book Review DFF Dead Friends Forever

I love ghost stories. I have a highly active imagination and happily spend the day wondering what if . . .

My Book Review for The first novel of the Extreme Haunting series by JR Turner titled Dead Friends Forever has been posted over at Horror Web.

Go Check it Out

Best Book Trailer I have ever seen.

This is the best book trailer I have ever seen. It's for the book by Leopoldo Gout titled Ghost Radio. I love the concept of creepy, sad ghosts infultrating into radio waves.

My favorite part of the video is the way the director made tape looks scary. In our world its plain tape from a reel but in the video it becomes possessed and turns into the gory havoc of ghosties.

But most importantly it makes me anxious to read it.

Shutter - Taking Crazy to the Next Level

I watched the latest version of Shutter over the weekend and I must say I really did enjoy it.

I just love when peeps get their REVENGE on, however, I thought homegirl was a special kind of CRAZY.

So I asked a couple of friends if they've ever had a girl that just wouldn't take no for an answer and they all answered YES!

I guess strange stalkers come in all shapes and sizes. Now that is SCARY.

But back to the movie. I really enjoyed it. It could have been scarier and creepier but the acting was good and so was the story. I was not disappointed.

The original Shutter version from Japan is on my movies to see list.

Best Prologue Ever ~ Frankenstein 1931

Wow was I impressed with this intro. It totally created the atmosphere of fright and set the tone for the horrors yet to come. I loved it! Genius!













How do you do? Mr. Carl Laemmle feels it would be a little unkind to present this picture without just a word of friendly warning. We are about to unfold the story of Frankenstein, a man of science who sought to create a man after his own image without reckoning upon God. It is one of the strangest tales ever told. It deals with the two great mysteries of creation - life and death. I think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even - horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now's your chance to - uh, well, we warned you.

Wolfen 1981

Directed by Michael Wadleigh
Written by: David Eyre, Eric Roth uncredited
Novel by: Whitley Strieber
Orion

The movie Wolfen came out back in 1981. While the movie wasn't that great. There were many great things about it.

1- The legend regarding the Indians and the Wolves being persecuted and almost completely extinguished is a beautiful one. According the movie they unite into a shape shifting creature living off the discards of modern society.

2 - The actors were great: Albert Finney, Gregory Hines and Edward James Olmos

3 - The film is known for its early use of an in-camera effect to portray the subjective POV of a werewolf. Similar to thermography, the technique was later adopted by other horror films such as the Predator series. The effect is no big deal for us today. But I'll tell you the effects in the movie I loved the most was when hands and heads went flying across the place after an attack. Cracked me up good!

4- My favorite part of the movie was seeing actual wolves. They used the real animals leaving to audience to absorb what gorgeous, magnificent creatures they really are.

Here's the trailer:

CreepShow - The Hitchhiker

Stephen King has a twisted mind full of bizarre stories. As a kid I remember watching the Creepshow movies with my sister. Our favorite of all the stories in this series is the HitchHiker story. To this day if we ride in the car together we will still turn to eachh other and say:

Thanks for the ride Lady!

Enjoy.

Blade Great Movie - Great Soundtrack

Blade is one of my favorite Vampire movies. Westley Snipes makes kicking grass look so good. As a half mortal, half vampire Blade is on a mission to destroy all evil Vampires led by the sexy Stephen Dorph.

Everyone I knew signed up for martial arts classes after that film. The choreography of the fight scenes are perfectly brilliant. The first in the series is a Great great movie but I can't say the same for II & especially not III.

I dare you not to move while watching this clip.

Perfect Creature goes straight to DVD

Perfect Creature Movie Synopsis: Dougray Scott, Saffron Burrows, Stuart Wilson and Leo Gregory star in the dark tale centered on The Brothers, vampire leaders considered to be the next evolutionary step. When a virus suddenly spreads turning the vampires against the humans, chaos ensues and the fragile balance between the two races must be restored.

Screenplay & Director: Glenn Standring
STUDIO: 20th Century Fox
Main Characters:Dougray Scott and Saffron Burrows
Trailer:http://www.perfect-creature.com/trailer.htm

A movie with so much potential but just didn't grab me. The movie starts with great scenes and cool matrix like special effects so I stayed. But I just couldn't care about the main characters so I couldn't really care what happened to them or all of humankind in the story.

I do not recommend this movie.

Ghostrider Movie Special Effects

Never Cry Werewolf Movie

I watched the scifi network movie Never Cry Werewolf and actually enjoyed it. The acting was good and so was the story. The movie kept the traditional folklore of the werewolf changing on the full moon and added that the werewolf dude could control this with a charm made from someone who had hung himself.

There were also some funny scenes like in the beginning when blood gets splattered all over the windows and walls yet the victim only has a small slash in his throat. hiAlariOUs! So was adding the real life b-list actor as part of the plot and having him assist the heroine. That was genius-awesome and funny too.

I also really enjoyed that the female main character was not afraid to kick ass. She was ready to do what was necessary to save her bro. Girls rule!!

I give this movie a 41/2 out of 5. Go see it.

Why

I'm a writer and this blog is a place to neatly put up some of the most horrific, disturbing, twisted, emotionally damaging stories that I have come across.

Why . . . because I found out that everybody secretly loves horror stories. It's probably the number one guilty pleasure in the world.

If you didn't know it, now you know.

Enjoy yourself.
