Halloween Day by Day: Trick or Treat

October. It's a time when the leaves start to fall, and the air gets crisper. It's a time when mysterious fogs start to roll through the trees, and strange sounds echo from the bushes. It's a time when the veil between the Living and the Dead tears a little.

It's a time when The Corner of Terror awakens to bring you "Halloween Day by Day"!

That's right, we're back for a FULL MONTH of horror related fun and frivolity! We have some great treats for you... and maybe a trick up our sleeves.

What sort of stuff do we have to offer this year? Well- let's reach into the candy bowl, and find out:

I'll will be bringing you horror book reviews every Tuesday, and comic reviews on Saturdays. Mondays will see him counting out some of his "Top Five Lists", while checking out "The Omen" movies on Wednesdays. Friday's is "tip and sip time" as he kicks back and samples some horror and October themed brews. And don't worry- I haven't forgotten Sundays and Thursdays! You can expect a wide range of horror movies to be reviewed by me on those days! So, make sure you check here DAILY to see what's new!

And! That's right- there's an AND! If scheduling permits, I might also be able to hijack The Basement's Twitter account in order to do another 24 hour horror movie tweet along! Stay tuned for more on that as "Halloween Day by Day" progresses!

Woooo! It's a scare packed month ahead, and we invite you to join us for the party!

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...
