Welcome to the site...and thank you for your support! Enjoy!
My dad knew him as the weird guy hanging around with Richard Pryor in "Stir Crazy." I knew him as Willy Wonka as a kid in the magical "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory." They're still trying to bring back that franchise with casting rumors landing on everyone from Ryan Gosling to Donald Glover (sorry, Mr. Wilder OWNS that part). But one classic that brings the world of comedy and classic horror together and holds a special place in my heart is the Mel Brooks comedy horror "Young Frankenstein."
A film that parodies the Universal Monsters era yet has the look and feel of a Universal horror movie. Much like "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein," it's a great comedic take on the genre, yet also BELONGS to the genre. And the master Gene Wilder is as manic and hilarious as any film you'll ever see him in.
It's also fun to see outtakes of the cast, as they seem to be having the time of their lives. Mel Brooks, not so much. :D
Happy birthday Gene Wilder!
The one and only Alice Cooper is the original pioneer of 'shock rock' and to many of the bands and acts that have followed in his lead, he is STILL the best.
His blend of heavy rock and horror theatrics have been a draw for generations of fans, whether they're into rock or metal. Or into horror movies. Or grand theatrics. He covers it all.
With the passing of many of our beloved horror icons (recently "Creature From The Black Lagoon"s Julie Adams left us), let's be grateful to the stars above that our shock rock king Alice Cooper is not only around, but kicking @$$ to this day! LONG LIVE ALICE COOPER!!!
"I Had A Slinky...But I Straightened It"
- Dr. Egon Spengler
On November 21st, 1944, Harold Ramis was born. Early in his celebrated career he was part of the legendary Second City improvisational comedy troupe and SCTV.
He is known for directing comedy classics like "Caddyshack" and "National Lampoon's Vacation." He co-wrote and directed the masterpiece that is "Groundhog Day." That alone cements his legacy.
But as a young child growing up in The '80's, I knew him specifically as Dr. Egon Spengler in the paranormal comedy franchise "Ghostbusters."
For a period in time I was obsessed with Ghostbusters. I loved the films, the cartoon show...I had the toys and to this day I still await the Hi-C Ecto Cooler when a new Ghostbusters film premiers.
He will forever be an important part of my childhood and he still means so much to me. As a fan of Ghostbusters, I've seen the good and bad in the fandom. But I'm praying that …
I put off watching the third entry of the HALLOWEEN franchise for a long, long time. It was in its day thrown out like a prodigal son. Knowing that it had nothing to do with Michael Myers or any of the original storyline made it unappealing.
Then one day it came on television. And I just said 'what the hell.' After seeing it, I found it to be an amazing horror film. Like an extended, sinister Twilight Zone episode, it played out beautifully. Lead by the fantastic Tom Atkins, it was a film that stood on its own. Had they called it just SEASON OF THE WITCH, I think the film would be a classic today. Some are already appreciating it as it's own unique horror classic.
Throw out what you know about the original Michael Myers saga. You know...scratch that. You CAN take the saga into account. They've already tampered with that mythos to the point where they've put out a new version erasing ALL that came before it except the first film. The storyline is such a mess when i…
