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!

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

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

The Phantom of the Opera

Not too long ago, I reviewed the silent horror classic, "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", and wound up being in the mood to view a few other of the silent horror films in my collection. The next one I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Lon Chaney, Sr, and released in 1925. A mysterious stranger has been threatening the star singer of the Paris Opera House- someone who has signs his letters simply as, "The Phantom". This stranger wants to clear the way so his protege, Christine Daae can ascend to stardom herself. Soon, her love for the Comte de Chagny collides with The Phantom's desire for Christine forcing both to take drastic actions in order to be with the one they love. " The Phantom of the Opera " actually underwent three periods of re-shoots and editing, due to poor reception and test viewings. In 1930, a sound version was created- often assumed to be what is called "The Eastman House Print". It is
