Drive-ins. When you hear that phrase you think of a place where you could go to and have no worries, no fears, no responsibilities of the outside world. You could get lost on a Saturday night in the madness that is, was, and always will be the Drive-In Movie. You’d never think that a place where you could lose you imagination, could be a place where you have to fear for your life! Like in the 1977 release of Stu Segall’s “Drive-In Massacre.”

Intro:

There is a fascination that seems to reach certain celebrity die hard fans. When their beloved idol passes on into the afterlife, they have a hard time dealing with it. They might say “oh he/she faked their own death, and they are in Cuba.” The two celebrities that get this the most are Tupac and the King himself, Elvis Presley. Now I personality believe, sadly, that they have both deceased, but its fun to imagine they are not, and indeed faked their own death, like Elvis did in the 2002 release of Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba Ho-Tep.”

Intro:

The future. Many of us wonder what is in store for us all years from now. What if you knew something horrible was going to happen, not only to you, but to the entire human race, and you knew that you would have to change it. Well when that time comes for many of us, we are uncertain as to what we have to do. What we expect doesn’t always turn out the way it should, Just like in the 2009 release of McG’s “Terminator Salvation.”

Intro:

Now being a director myself I have A LOT of projects in development, production, and ideas just floating around in the old noggin! A lot of these involve death, killing, and brutal acts against the human body, and there have been many times where I questioned where this macabre personality comes from; and furthermore if it is possible for these devastating thoughts to possibly overtake my mentality? Like in the 1990 release of Lucio Fulci’s "A Cat in the Brain."

Intro:

Life is full of filth that you can never get rid of. whether it be a crooked boss, a backstabbing friend, or a guy who just likes to start crap. One word comes to mind when I think of all the "filth" I’ve dealt with throughout my life, rat. Rats have no purpose but to steal our food, infest our homes, AND take our lives like in the 1990 release of Stephen King’s "Graveyard Shift."

Intro:

Growing up in a small town my whole life, I’ve yearned for the big city life - Just to be around different people and places would be an amazing experience for me. I don’t think of all the possible dangers that would be waiting for me out there. For instance, who knows when you might be in the eyes of a kidnapper, and could very well be his next victim? If that was the case, then it’d like the unknowing couple in the 2008 release of Ryan Cavalline’s Stockholm Syndrome.

Intro:

A trend that tends to reoccur every few decades is the cycling of film genre popularity. The 80s and 90s had an emphasis on action films while monster/Sci-Fi films dominated the 50s and 60s.

A particular genre that I happen to like a lot seems to be making a slight comeback - the exploitation films of the 70s. Frank Henenlotter has strived to bring back this unique type of film in the modern age. It’s good to see other people helping the cause, with the 2007 release of Gone The Way Of Flesh being a prime example.

Intro:

It’s been twenty five years since a horror film has been released in 3-D, and it’s been LONG overdue. Who knew the film that was being given the 3D treatment, surprise surprise,  would be a remake. So you think, OK, what will it be? a Friday the 13th, or A Nightmare on Elm Street remake in 3-D? Nope, it’s a little cult film from 1981 called My Bloody Valentine. Over the past year there has a lot of hype for this film, and needless to say I was very happy to see the 2009 release of Patrick Lussier’s My Bloody Valentine.

Intro:

All of our families have secrets. Like a child with an illness or disorder. For some reason, one member is embarrassed of it, and doesn’t even want them in their sights. I find that pretty low, and lousy ya know? If my son ever had an illness or deformity I wouldn’t shun him away, I’d embrace him like the family he is to me, not like the dad did in the 1982 release of Frank Henenlotter’s “Basket Case.”

Intro:

If you know me at all by now, you KNOW i’m a sucker for anthology films. Through the good and the bad, the thick and the thin, i’m always up for a compilation of stories. I’ve seen TONS but there are still many i have yet to see. However one of my favorites, “The Vault of Horror” has seemed to be remade, or at least in my eyes, in the 2006 release of “Trapped Ashes.”
