💀💀The Age Of Gods And Monsters lives on in the hearts and imaginations of those that wish to keep it alive. Ghoulish Grin Films is a small entity but its heart is on fire with the ghosts of old. It is an entity that cherishes the classics and gives it a modern platform. Long Live Indie Horror! 💀💀
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!
A potential revamp is on the horizon. Talk of a return of the toy giant repackaged under the label Geoffrey's Toy Box has made fans of the now out-of-business Toys R Us excited...and former employees a bit miffed.
Whether this happens or not...whether it's a big return or a few small corners within other retail stores...will remain to be seen.
For now, we approach a holiday season without our beloved Toys R Us. A real life Santa's Workshop, it was a place of wonders.
Streaming now is a dedication to that now lost toy store, END OF AN ERA: TOYS R US.
Enjoy the memories during this holiday season and let's hold on to hope that we can see Geoffrey (and possibly even KB) return to us and a new generation...
My first time discovering Elvira was as a young boy on television. How can you NOT have a lasting impression after that? It was the night they played "House Of Wax" starring Vincent Price. It was in 3D and you were able to purchase those old blue and red 3D glasses at your local market or liquor store. Ahhhh...those were the days!
On Cassandra Peterson's (A.K.A. Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark) birthday, I would love to just appreciate the fact that we have her around. It's a blessing.
Whenever the horror genre and community get too gory and without humor and fun, I will always go back to those icons like Elvira that made me love the genre in the first place. And it's comforting to know there are other fright night hosts besides Elvira that are still doing it, from the legendary Svengoolie to youngsters like Marlena Midnite.
Halloween is a time for fun frights. To enjoy ourselves and not to take horror to the depths of reality. To cherish it as a part of our chil…
Edgar Allan Poe was found delirious and "in great distress" on October 3rd, 1849. He was incoherent so his death was rumored to be everything from drug abuse to rabies. On October 7th, he passed.
Like many great artists, he never got to see what sort of impact he left on the world. He was, in my opinion and to many around the world, one of the worlds finest literary figures.
His darkly creative stories and poems have guaranteed that his genius lives on for many generations. And during the month of October, a time for all thinks creepy and weird, he will always be a source of inspiration for us that wish to exorcise our demons through writing, music, film, or whatever creative medium.
Thank you, Edgar Allan Poe. Your unfortunate, tragic life was transferred to your art, and we are all the richer for it.
