Virtual Zombie Walk and Zombie Bowl-O-Rama

Virtual Zombie Walk I hope that everyone is enjoying the virtual zombie walk. I will be out of town on a family trip, but I plan to visit all of these cool blogs. As for "Attention Earthlings", this is the final day of our Big Fish games giveaway . I kicked off the giveaway with a review of " Plants vs Zombies ". Check out the giveaway ( link ). The winner can pick 5 games and some of those games should appeal to the zombie fan. This time I'll review Zombie Bowl-O-Rama...

What bugs me about Mara Corday

My blogging buddy Autumnforest at Ghost Hunting Theories ( link ) has written a couple of posts about classic sci fi of the 1950s. Inspired by that lovely blogger/author, I had to pick an equally lovely woman of the sci fi/horror B movies. I choose the giant bug battler Mara Corday ( link ). Her journey from a showgirl to a celebrated actress and model encapsulates the allure of Hollywood’s golden era. Early Life and Career Beginnings Corday’s aspirations for a film career brought her to Hollywood in her teens. She started as a showgirl at the Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset Boulevard, where her beauty caught the attention of photographers, leading to her first film role in “Two Tickets to Broadway” in 19511. Rise to Fame Her contract with Universal-International Pictures marked the beginning of her rise in the industry. Corday’s breakout role came in 1955 with the science-fiction hit “Tarantula,” where she starred alongside John Agar and Leo G. Carroll. This film also f...

Top 10 Sexiest Women of Horror

Maybe I'm just old, and times like these I feel very old, but what about Janet Leigh – Psycho, Adrienne Barbeau – The Fog, Ingrid Pitt – Countess Dracula (and most of the women of Hammer Films), Sarah Michelle Gellar – The Grudge, Salma Hayek – From Dusk til Dawn, and my all-time favorite Yvonne De Carlo. No, I'd say that the video missed a few, but then again, I am of a different vintage.

Blood of Dracula

*correction* The movie tonight is Konga . Thanks Svengoolie for the correction. Svengoolie will be playing Blood of Dracula it is a 1957 horror flick with a very low-budget. The film follows Nancy Perkins, a troubled teenage girl who is sent to a strict boarding school to improve her behavior. However, she soon discovers that the school is not what it seems, as her science teacher, Miss Branding, is secretly a vampire who wants to turn Nancy into her next victim. Despite its cheesy special effects and wooden acting, Blood of Dracula is an entertaining and campy film that perfectly captures the spirit of 1950s horror movies. The film is notable for its feminist undertones, as Nancy's transformation into a vampire is portrayed as a symbol of her rebellion against the oppressive social norms of the time. Corman's direction is efficient and effective, making the most of the limited resources at his disposal. The film's moody atmosphere is heightened by the creepy score and...

Review: Empire State

Empire State by Adam Christopher Paperback: 416 pages Publisher: Angry Robot (December 7, 2011) ISBN-10: 0857661922 ISBN-13: 978-0857661920 Product description : It was the last great science hero fight, but the energy blast ripped a hole in reality, and birthed the Empire State – a young, twisted parallel prohibition-era New York. When the rift starts to close, both worlds are threatened, and both must fight for the right to exist. My thoughts : I love the stuff from Angry Robot . When I first got wind of this title, I was eager to get my hands on it. I thought that the cover was brilliant. I was very impressed with the Empire State World Builder idea ( link ). Anything that brings fans, the author, and the publisher together has to be a great concept. Even the story of a prohibition-era parallel universe sounded great. Sadly, the execution was a disappointment. Neither the characters nor the story are interesting. I almost quit ...
