A hero to his fans. A controversial figure to haters. Either way, Rob Zombie has made his mark when it comes to music AND movies. He became a rock icon with his first band White Zombie, the famed band that he founded. He soon left to go out on his own and released the hit albums HELLBILLY DELUXE and THE SINISTER URGE. Soon after that he started his career as a director, making the cult hits "House Of A 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects." He would eventually reboot the "Halloween" franchise. This move divided fans and even got him beef with the creator himself, John Carpenter (that was eventually smoothed out). Whatever you think about the reboot, it was something that needed to happen in order for the film franchise to find it's origins. In my opinion, BOTH films are good and will forever be a part of the history of Michael Myers...for good or bad. So from a fan, I say happy birthday Mr. Zombie. And thanks for all of the cool stuff you

The end of 2018 saw a lot of people breathing a sigh of relief. For many it was a year that tested even the best of us. Volatility in the markets. Division and pleas for unity among the people. Plenty of ups and downs. But with the month of December 2018, the world saw the 100th anniversary of a beloved curiosity, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Originally focusing on sports feats in December of 1918, Robert Ripley began to focus his newspaper panels on the more strange, bizarre elements in the world. Freak show exhibits were popular from way back in the 16th century. A time when people were unfortunately treated like oddities but were still fascinating to the 'normal' person. Funny enough, the strange and bizarre are more accepted and people in the modern age flaunt their odd features, whether they were born with them or (more often) created. With the anniversary of Ripley's Believe It or Not! it was also announced that the television show (which I remember fondly w

Now available for the first time on physical media, the 2008 cult film "Curse Of The Revenant," re-edited in 2016, is now available on DVD! For those that enjoyed the film on YouTube, Amazon, Vimeo, or other indie horror streaming services and wanted a copy to own, it's now available for $10! Buy it now on Amazon Prime!      

2018 has been a year much like the stock market. A roller coaster ride of ups and downs. But hopefully folks have taken advantage of whatever positives that came around. I certainly tried. I've accepted the ups and downs, much like the years previous, and am ready to take 2019 and turn it into a great year. Another year of growth, another year of learning. Thank you to everyone who supported Ghoulish Grin Films this year and in years past. Ghoulish Grin Films continues to plug away thanks to you. I very much appreciate it and I hope to bring more cool stuff in the coming year. Thanks. Jess.

Bettie Page was not just a 1950's model who did pin-up work that was (for the time) risqué, and who left the spotlight to move away from that life. She lives on in reimagined art, through the fashion of young women of the rockabilly and burlesque persuasion. She wasn't the biggest name of her day, but it's clear she is now The Queen Of Pinups. She suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and suffering from illness, passed on December 10th. I became aware of her through local shops that sold music, merch, and other paraphernalia. Seeing the images, I figured she was a horror queen. I'm almost certain that she would've fit just fine with the B-Movie cheese of Ed Wood or other schlocky '50's popcorn Drive-In fare. That's how a lot of the art had reimagined her, as a B-Movie queen. And of course there were those pulp comic books that put her in fantastic adventures. But even though she never starred in a classic (or even B-Movie) horror or sci-fi film, she

The classic movie monster may have morphed into other versions not recognizable to hardcore fans (The Dark Universe anyone?), but a giant among classic movie monsters looks to make his triumphant return to the big screen. Having appeared in spots in 2014's "Godzilla" to mostly positive feedback, this upcoming "Godzilla: King Of The Monsters" in 2019 shows a Godzilla in full action against many of his familiar foes. This film will be the precursor to the upcoming "Godzilla -vs- King Kong" and we will more than likely see a Godzilla at full power. How can fans of classic horror not love this? Enjoy a taste of the great 'King Of Monsters'...GODZILLA!
