Year: 1985
Director: Dan O'Bannon
Plot: Middle-aged family man Frank (Jim Karen) trains teenaged Freddy (Thom Matthews) for his new job at a medical supply warehouse. In an effort to impress and frighten his young charge, practical joker Frank reveals that the warehouse basement contains a cannister full of a mysterious chemical capable of bringing the dead back to life. It seems that the cannister fell off the back of an army truck during an accidental outbreak of zombiedom. Frank and Freddy unwittingly inhale the chemical and release it into the warehouse. Turning to the operator of a nearby crematorium for help in destroying the suddenly undead specimens that surround them, they unwittingly awaken the residents of a nearby cemetary just as Freddy's pals arrive to party amidst the headstones and wait for their friend's shift to end. Meanwhile, Col. Glover (Jonathan Terry) waits for the call that his missing chemical weapon has been unleashed. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Body: I am so, so, so, so, so behind. Still. So, short and hopefully not sucky reviews.Timber Falls was more than likely playing on the Sci-Fi channel one night and I just couldn't look away. A couple hiking in an unfamiliar area decide to stray from the path and then get kidnapped by some religious fanatic locals. When will people learn? Stay on the path! It's not particularly good, but I've seen worse. And the things the kidnappers want from them are sort of unusual, and thus, entertaining.Ninotchka stars the lovely Greta Garbo ("Two-Faced Woman") and is supposed to be very funny. I thought it was kind of funny. But Garbo is brilliant as a stern Russian sent to Paris on business who finds herself falling for the man she should hate. Some bits were very good, but overall, I was underwhelmed.I thought Frost/Nixon was very, very good. One of Ron Howard ("Angels and Demons")'s better films. This is partly due to the excellent performances by both Frank Langella ("The Tale of Despereaux") and Michael Sheen ("Underworld: Rise of the Lycans"), but Howard doesn't try to force things and lets the thing develop on it's own. The last interview is, of course, the best, and it's worth sitting through the entire film for.The Return of the Living Dead is just a really entertaining zombie movie from 1985. I laughed quite a bit. Besides some zombie dance numbers, and some of the densest characters to grace a screen, we're also given gore, skimpy outfits and bad jokes. A lot of fun.And then there were Wraiths of Roanoke. I don't know why I'm a sucker for Sci-Fi originals. It's just something we all have to learn to live with. I'm also a sucker for Adrian Paul ("The Heavy"). This movie is really bad. It attempts to explain the lost colony of Roanoke were attacked by Norse spirits. The story is okay, but the effects and pretty much everything else are awful. Poor Adrian Paul.

Body: Two weeks ago I wrote a list of five doomsday films ranked by plausibility. The response to this piece made me realize that I overlooked the most pressing apocalyptic threat of all: zombies. The onslaught of the living dead has been a mainstay of horror cinema for decades, beginning with the Bela Lugosi vehicle White Zombie in 1932. Over the following years zombies popped up in movies as one of many monstrous villains, often filling the minion role. It wasn’t until George Romero’s groundbreaking 1968 film Night of the Living Dead that the idea of a zombie apocalypse was introduced. Romero’s cannibalistic zombies have since become the archetype used in countless films, books, and video games. The cause of the virulent plague of the walking dead varies, however. Everything from spiritual curses, viruses, chemical weapons, and alien microorganisms have been used to explain the origin of zombies. Below the jump we examine the real-world evidence behind some of these threats, and which ones you should be most worried about. Much of the popular lore surrounding zombies can be traced back to Haitian Voodoo. Sorcerers, known as bokors, are said to be able to animate the dead, forcing them to work as their slaves or warriors. This is more or less what Bela Lugosi was up to in White Zombie, except that he was a wealthy white plantation owner who used zombie slaves to work his sugar mill. It was all just business until he tried to use his power to improve his ailing love life; then things got wacky. In the 1980s, Harvard ethnobiologist Wade Davis went to Haiti to try to track down a physiological basis for Voodoo zombification. He discovered that the bokors used a special “zombie powder” to induce trances in victims, which could apparently last for years. The powder contains a poison known as tetrodotoxin, or TTX. Davis wrote a best-selling book about his research adventure, The Serpent and the Rainbow. The problem with Davis’ theory is that the powder, while it does contain decaying human flesh and God knows what else, has only a very small amount of tetrodotoxin. Even if it did contain more, it would only slur your speech, stifle your breathing, and possibly kill you, but it wouldn’t turn you into a sugar plantation zombie slave. If the bokors get technical and decide to weaponize zombie powder, then we could have a real apocalyptic threat on our hands. But it would be more like an old-fashioned chemical weapons attack, not a true zombie plague. For the walking dead to go from being a mere nuisance to a force capable of ending humanity, the affliction really needs to be contagious. In Night of the Living Dead, those killed by zombies soon rise to join their ranks, thereby growing the undead horde at an exponential rate. This model has been used in countless films since, with varying explanations about the nature of the zombie plague. In Romero’s classic, a reporter says something about a probe returning from Venus having exploded in Earth’s atmosphere. While it’s possible to imagine that a virus from an alien world could do just about anything, including raising the dead, other zombie movies have searched for terrestrial origins for zombification. One idea is that rather than zombies being reanimated corpses, they’re living people afflicted by a really nasty form of rabies. I Am Legend and 28 Days Later can both be read in this way. While the rabies model does account for altered behavior, and transmission through biting, there’s something about the voracity and speed of a rabid being that just isn’t quite zombie-like. The afflicted hordes in both films move much faster than Romero’s zombies, which would serve to spread the infection at an accelerated rate. As much as I love 28 Days Later, slow moving zombies are scarier, even if they’re a little easier to fend off. Either way, if scientists were ever to alter the rabies virus to have an extremely short incubation period and heightened symptoms, we could have a whole lot of very crazy people with the ability to infect more. The Return of the Living Dead, released in 1985, added a key element to zombie mythology: brains. Where Romero’s ghouls wanted to eat all human flesh, Dan O’Bannon’s zombies hungered specifically for human brains. In Return the cause of zombification was a bungled military experiment involving a poison called trioxin, which is a real chemical, but thankfully it does not cause people to become nearly indestructible walking corpses. Eating the brains of the dead, however, can have some horrifying real-world consequences. In the 1950s an American physician and researcher discovered a troubling disease affecting the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea. They called it kuru, which means “trembling with fear.” The neurological disease caused patients to shake uncontrollably and burst out in maniacal laughter before dropping dead. On a cellular level, the condition is not unlike Mad Cow Disease, and if you know anything about how that is spread, you probably know where this is going. It turns out the Fore people had rather strange funeral practices, which involved eating the bodies of the deceased. Kuru was more prevalent among women and children, because they ate the brains of the dead, while the men dined on the rest of the body. The disease itself does not make people more likely to hunger for brains, but the story does drive home a disturbing point: Not only will people eat one another if their wagon train gets stranded in a mountain pass, they will also consume their kin due to cultural forces alone. In other words, peer pressure. Combine a global food shortage with some charismatic and insane leaders, you’ve got yourself a zombie apocalypse. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Title: Night of the Demons (1988)Rated: RDirected by: Kevin TenneyStarring: Linnea Quigley as Suzanne Amelia Kinkaid as Angela Billy Gallo as SalTagline: "Angela is having a party...Freddy and Jason are too scared to come. But you'll have a hell of a time." By Shelley Stillo Pre-screening memories: When people ask me to recommend a legitimately scary movie, I'll usually say Nightmare on Elm Street or Night of the Demons. Trouble is, I don't remember the first thing about Night of the Demons. Sitting down to write these pre-screening memories has revealed to me that I can honestly only conjure up one scene from the entire movie. And what I remember isn't really scary. So why has this film stuck with me all of these years? It may be because I also remember it as one of the naughtiest films I've ever seen. I don't remember why, but I do know that my prudish 12-year-old self was shocked by this film. And if there is any stage when fear and sex combined are going to make their strongest impression, it would be the preteen years. I'm not sure, given the fact that I've oft thought about this film, why I haven't taken the opportunity to revisit it before. One reason might be that, as I got older and started enjoying my horror with company, I was afraid the film would be even naughtier than I remembered, and lead to an embarrassing group viewing experience. (This has really happened to me--more than once--with the odd anime screening). The one scene I do remember from the film does nothing to underscore either the films' scariness nor its naughtiness. It is a "Twilight Zone"-style morality moment that occurs at the end of the film. At some point in the movie, we are introduced to an elderly man who plans to put razor blades in his apples on Halloween night. In the final moments of the film, his wife decides to bake him an apple pie. He realizes, with shock, horror, and dismay, that the pie has been made of left over apples just as several razor blades cut through his throat. How he managed to chew and swallow the razor blades without noticing them, and while leaving them intact enough to cut through his flesh, is anyone's guess. When his wife smiles at the end of the film, we realize that she has killed him on purpose, likely as revenge for his feeding razor blades to the kids in the first place. I'm sure, as an avid watcher of weekly television horror and sci-fi programs, I didn't find this moment in the least scary, but I was satisfied with the joke. New memories: Immediately after I re-viewed this film, I was fairly stunned that I'd remembered it at all. It was still plenty naughty, maybe a little more than other '80s horrors (though certainly no more naughty than Revenge of the Nerds), but it wasn't scary, or even that interesting. It has a very standard plot: a group of teens, featuring all the typical players -- the good girl, the 'greaser,' the token black guy, the goth girl, the slut, the party couple, etc. -- break into an abandoned funeral parlor to throw a Halloween party. They decide to hold a seance and unknowingly unleash a demonic force that commences to possess the party guests one by one. Who will survive to party another day? I kept thinking about the movie though. It would have been easy to say "well, what a 12 year old found appealing in 1988 just isn't appealing anymore." But I couldn't just leave it at that because this movie continues to have a very solid reputation among horror fans; yes, even those who have seen it recently as adults. I kept trying to think what could make this movie "hold up" for so many people. One reason is certainly the appearance of horror goddess Linnea Quigley in the film, who teases here certainly capitalize on her tombstone striptease from Return of the Living Dead. But I think the real appeal of this film is how it simply embraces the genre, its heights and its foibles. It never moves into the realm of horror comedy, but it doesn't take itself seriously. Without pretension, it uses the tools -- self consciously, I'm beginning to suspect -- the genre provides and runs riot with them. So, unless you're trying to recapture an experience that is 15 years gone, and mostly forgotten, it is easy to get into the spirit of the film and go revel in the fun. It's not a film that exceeds genre expectations, but its not a soulless regurgitation of them either. Would Shelley still accept the invitation to the party? Find out here

Body: Yes, Gor, I was thinking of you when I watched it. I think you will like it - of course, like I said, there is a political and social message with it, but I think as soon as you see Jena Jamison strip, you won't be thinking of anything else. You'll have to tell me what you think after you've seen it. [quote user="Dr_Gor"] [quote user="divinemsjunebug"] Seriously, has anyone seen this movie yet? It's actually a pretty new movie. I have to say that I thought it was going to be a horribly low budget yawner...but it wasn't. It was actually pretty good, I was really shocked. Robert Englund also starred in it. It was a little gorey and of course from the Title I am sure that you know there is plenty of high-end stripper nudity, but it was really funny and well made. I don't know if someone else has seen it and wants to disagree but I liked it. [/quote] Thanks, June! I've put this one on my list! Can't wait to see it! The only thing I could think of when I read the title of your post was Linnea Quigley doing a cemetary striptease in Return Of The Living Dead and ther was (briefly) a nude zombie woman in NOTLD ... other than that I cannot think of any examples of 'zombie-strippers' ... pretty cool! Thanks for bringing that one to my attention! [/quote]

Body: I just got Black Sheep in the mail today and am going to watch it this weekend, it sounds great. Anyway, I have to say that in Return of the Living Dead when that half dog starts panting and wagging it's little half zombie tail, I just laugh every time, it's one of my favorite parts in the movie, and then when he starts beating it with a crutch or something and the dog yelps and yelps, it was soooo funny. And in Night of the Creeps, that movie is hilarious too. The doggie zombie didn't have much of a part though...I really can't think of any others either.[quote user="Phantasma-gore-ia"] The sheep in the aforementioned flick are merely infected, bloodthirsty, slavering, murderous wool-bearers :). The only zombie animal I can think of after Dr. Gor took the cat from Pet Sematary was the split dog from Return of the Living Dead, the campy spoof of the unending spate of Dead this and Dead that movies that persists to this day. There was an anatomical model of a dog made by splitting it vertically and preserving it with formaldehyde. When the synthetic chemical crap splashes on it and revivifies it, it starts barking and squealing, which draws two men's attention. They don't know what's going on or where it's coming from, but they're pretty sure they hear a dog. Stepping lightly toward it, they see it is a dog but also that something is wrong. One of them picks it up, sees it's only half a dog (he couldn't see that before?) and rightly screams bloody murder, heading for the hills. 8)[/quote]

Body: Yes, boys and ghouls, it's that magical time of the year again, when ghosts and goblins and monsters and madmen roam the earth in search of 'sweets'! That's right! It's Thanksgiving! ... Oops! My bad! I had my calender on the wrong page! To make a long story short, I just purchased a 'restored/remastered' DVD of Halloween and I watched this movie again for about the 30th time and IT JUST DOESN'T GET OLD! There is a story behind this one, but basically, there are actually some movies that I don't mind seeing over and over again! What a phenomena ! Anyhow, AOL has compiled (yet another) list of the all time best Horror Movies! You can check it out here... Best Horror Movies of All Time: 31 Days of Horror - Moviefone. If I were to have to pick my Top Ten all-time favorite Horror Movies, I think that list would change... day to day... depending a lot upon my mood... At THIS moment in my life, my top-ten list would look something like this... 1. The Exorcist ; STILL THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!! 2. Night Of The Living Dead ; A masterpiece! Who could NOT resist the charms of THIS classic! 3. Dawn Of The Dead 4. Zombie 5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 6. Psycho 7. Day Of The Dead 8. Return Of The Living Dead 9. Friday The 13th: part II 10. A Nightmare On Elm Street ... ... Freddy fucking rules! Anyhow, those are my thoughts. What are yours?

Body: Well, in MOST movies zombies have a way to smell the living and that is what draws them to the houses or bomb shelters, etc. Now in Shaun of the Dead, Noise is what attracted the zombies. So I guess it's just a toss up, but zombies in Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Living Dead, and Zombi, etc. would have KNOWN you were alive and you could not have fooled them.Froggy you have got to see Undead, after seeing that movie, I think we could survive pretty well. It's usually people with good common sense and that can keep their cool in any disaster. We fit that to a T. Now Doc is just the ultra survivor, he's got the common sense, keeps his cool, knows how to fight and use weapons...etc. What is that saying, a woman is like a tea pot, you don't know your strength until you get to the boiling point? or whatever that saying is...
