What Movie Wednesday!

This past Wednesday, I started a new interactive feature for my blog- "What Movie Wednesday"!

"What is this new feature about," you ask? Well, let me tell you.

Every Wednesday, I will be posting on my Facebook group page, my personal Facebook Profile, Google +, and Twitter a bit of a poll. In the poll, I will be asking YOU, the reader, which of three possible horror movies I should watch that night for review. At that point, you will then be able to vote on which movie I watch. The movie that gets the most votes wins (natrually).

The polls will be posted at 12:00 am (Pacific Standard Time) every Wednesday morning, and voting will continue until 7:00 pm that same day. At that time, I will announce the winning movie, and begin watching it. I'll also be doing a bit of a running commentary of the movie on Twitter while watching it. The next day, I will sit down and write my review of the movie here. At the bottom of the review, I will acknowledge all those that voted. If you voted via Twitter, the shout out will also include a link to your own Twitter Account.

Why am I doing this? Well, I don't want my blog to simply be "blah blah blah..." I want those that actively read my blog to be a part of it- and contribute to the content on it. I'm hoping that by doing this, readers will feel comfortable coming forward and saying, "I'd like you to watch this, and review it!" This feature, I believe will also bring a sense of fun, spontanaiety, and uniqueness to this blog.

The next "What Movie Wednesday," will be March 7th- so keep an eye out for the notices. I post the notice throughout the day on my Facebook Profile. If you join my Group Page, you'll get an invite message for it- in addition to my posting about it on the page itself. On Twitter, make sure you watch out for the hashtag #WhatMovieWeds.

I'm looking forward to making "What Movie Wednesday," a fun, regular part of "The Corner of Terror," and seeing you all vote during it!

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now. Thank you. TCoT : Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica : I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ". So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the

The Bat (1926)

This past " What Movie Wednesday " saw the first time that a silent film was chosen for me to watch and tweet along to... While staying at the mansion of the local bank manager, a group of people are searching for the money that had been recently stolen from the bank. Soon, their lives are at stake as well as The Bat searches for the hidden loot... and kills anyone who gets in their way... " The Bat " was originally based on a hit Broadway play written by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood. Until recently, this silent film was thought to have been a lost film- as are many films from the silent era of cinema. Roland West went on to remake this film in 1930 as " The Bat Whispers "- which Bob Kane credited as the inspiration for the creation of Batman . I always enjoy the opportunity to watch silent films. Some are masterpieces of cinematic magic and creativity, while others are interesting as a reminder of how far we have come in regards to
