William Castle Wants YOU to Scream For Your Life!

William Castle has teamed up with Fangoria Magazine to bring the world another dose of his famous showmanship.  This time, YOU'RE the star of this wonderful piece of entertainment.

The two have joined forces to bring us the "Scream For Your Life" contest!  It's simple, really.  Just grab your camcorder, cell phone, or web cam, and  film yourself screaming your best Hollywood horror movie scream!  Once you've filmed it, send you MPEG to chris@fangoria.com.  Once you've done that, the great, late William Castle and his daughter, Terry will have a look at them.  Near the end of September, the two will choose the best three to receive a signed copy of William Castle's book, "From the Grave: The Prayer"- which I've read, reviewed, and loved.  In addition, the lucky winners will get another piece of William Castle memorabilia from his secret stash.

So, get your scream on and enter now!

I took the liberty of making my own entry to the contest as well.  Unfortunately, Hotmail wouldn't let me send the WHOLE video I did, so I sent in just the scream.  Just below, you'll find the "Director's Cut" of the video... exclusively on "The Corner of Terror!"

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...
