#vhseptember Day 28: #newyorkmassacre Catchin' up

#vhseptember Day 28: #newyorkmassacre
Catchin' up with a classic. I love the theme for Escape From New York, we caught Carpenter's tour a while back and hearing that track performed live was fantastic.

Sidenote: The teeny-tiny Russel, Barbeau and Pleasance on this cover are adorable.

#vhseptember Night 24: #gotguts Day of the Dead h

#vhseptember Night 24: #gotguts
Day of the Dead has the most iconic disembowelment and zombie gut munching scene in horror. "Choke on 'em!"

#vhseptember Night 23: #witchiswhich Two very diff

#vhseptember Night 23: #witchiswhich
Two very different "Season of the Witch" titles that didn't quite land with audiences...
This Romero film was originally cut up by the distributor and marketed as a soft core adult film called "Hungry Wives" - and of course Halloween 3 is known for it's lack of Michael Myers.... but includes Tom Muthaf*ckin' Atkins!

Okay it's 5 degrees because I CAN'T FIND MY GODDAMN ENTER THE DRAGON TAPE. #RIPJohnSaxon #vhscollector @deadvideomedia @vhsandkill

Catching up with #vhseptember Day 19: #fightorflig

Catching up with #vhseptember Day 19: #fightorflight "The Blood of Heroes" and "Sole Survivor" These two beautiful specimens were wild caught at Savers, in the before-time.

This theme ended up providing a fun double feature for tonight, and providing some mental relief from the current madness.

#vhseptember Day 14: #HauntedHouseParty - I finall

#vhseptember Day 14: #HauntedHouseParty - I finally completed my House collection shortly before quarantine.

House II is my favorite of the series and has everything- Zombie gunfighters, interdimensional/time travel, adventuring electricians, Aztec warriors, and a better use of Crystal Skulls than Indy 4!

Back for #vhseptember Day 11: #burnbabyburn - "Bad

Back for #vhseptember Day 11: #burnbabyburn - "Bad Dreams" and Troma's "Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator"
Bad Dreams reminds us, if your sinister cult leader invites you to a group cookout, YOU SAY NO!

I found "SSITI" for cheap at a VHS event last year and couldn't resist adding it to my Troma shelf of absurdly awesome covers. (oh how I miss tapediving...)

#vhseptember Day 8: #roboromance Deadly Friend A t

#vhseptember Day 8: #roboromance Deadly Friend
A tale as old as time: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Girl's abusive father murders her, so boy brings her back to life as a violent cyborg with uncontrollable urge to kill.

This movie had potential, especially with Craven directing, but daaaamn is it terrible.

I will admit, the scene where Mama Fratelli gets her head exploded by a basketball is pretty fantastic.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 & 2 - The saga of one family's determination to preserve their grandparent's unique BBQ recipes and commitment to organic locally sourced meat 🍖 despite harassment from young troublemakers, and eventually Dennis Hopper.

#vhseptember is upon us again! Today's theme is #SchoolsOutForMurder
Slaughter High has a classic cover, and Summer School is one of my all time favorite 80s comedies... the late, great Carl Reiner packed a glorious amount of gore into Summer School for a comedy. If you know, you know. #vhscollector #vhscollection

I don’t post to social media often, but I want to be clear where I stand (if you know me IRL, you probably already know my opinion based on my/my family's experiences with Racism & Law Enforcement.) 1. I support Black Lives Matter 100%. They and everyone participating in the protests has made greater change to this system then anything I’ve seen in my lifetime. And that specifically includes the supposed improvements after the Rodney King beating trial, the L.A. riots and the Rampart scandal.

2. Police Brutality, particularly against People of Color is CLEARLY a problem in this country. From the disgusting execution of George Floyd to the INSANE circumstances of Breonna Taylor’s murder and the countless other cases preceding them, this should be obvious! But if it wasn’t before, it has been demonstrated clearly and repeatedly across the country during these protests. When cops from COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRECINCTS in COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STATES, REACT WITH THE SAME SOCIOPATHIC BRUTALITY, IT'S A PROVEN SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. The added “Blue Wall of Silence” only makes it worse.

If law enforcement can’t be trusted to abide by the law and order they are supposed to uphold, the system is broken. And after hearing the same old song and dance for decades (just in my lifetime), it's time to try new solutions, including divesting from the police and putting that money toward the community specialized services that actually de-escalate situations before they turn deadly and don’t promote/reward a “warrior cop” mentality. Not every situation requires a SWAT team.

3. Racial Hatred & Violence is a growing sickness in this country, from random verbal harassment, to mass shootings such as in Charleston and most recently El Paso, to organized networks of White Supremacist groups seeking to escalate violence at protests, run down protestors, and commit terrorist acts like bombings and shootings. These ideologies are also worming their way into law enforcement - and it needs to be seen as a terroristic threat.
We're finally confronting these realities. Things might actually be getting better. It's going to be a fight, but it's WELL worth it.

"When some wild eyed, 8 foot tall Pandemic grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head against the wall and asks you if you've paid your dues... You just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and remember what Jack Burton always says at a time like that... Have ya paid your dues Jack?!... Yeah. The check is in the mail." Getting through this insanity with some wise words from the Porkchop Express and my current favorite shirt, BTILC from @frightrags The photo doesn't do the print justice, the artwork is beautiful!

Hope you all are getting through this okay, and staying safe and healthy. Happy April Fool's Day, if you can, find a way to have a laugh.

A few pics from last weekend's venture out to the desert with my trusty navigator. Didn't spot any sandworms #desert #graboids

Hit the movies last night - This one had some fun creepy concepts. Great atmosphere & I enjoyed the synthy score. Visually beautiful with some surreal Jodorowsky vibes, but I would have liked to spend more time with the Witch once we got to the blood, guts & magic. #horror #movies #thatwitchlooksfamiliar

A couple of weeks ago I started arriving home just in time to catch the Sunset as I stepped inside the house. They've been beautiful lately and when I watch them, I feel immense gratitude and appreciation. I always snap a photo.

It's a silly thing, but I spent a long time surrounded by concrete and powerlines, and though they hold their own beauty, I was always struggling to get a view of the horizon. In many ways.

Somehow, this bizarre journey through existence has led me to a place where I can watch a colossal masterpiece of color, form and light take shape in front of me, almost every evening. Like I said, it's a silly thing, but it means a lot to me. These days, I'm grateful for so much.

Halloween is just around the corner and I am revel

Halloween is just around the corner and I am reveling in all the creepy goodness in my feed (and on Shudder), seems like a good time to share some spooky stuff.

This is a beautiful, wicked sculpture that entranced me at the Days of the Dead convention. Definitely struck me with a Santa Muerte feel. 💀 (If anyone recognizes the artist, please let me know so I can credit/link)
