The Corner of Terror... Back From the Dead!

Greetings, everyone. You may have been wondering where I've been, and what I've been doing since about March 2013... and why this blog went dead.

Well, Life has a way of taking you out of the game for a while- and such is what happened to me. A combination of a new job and moving resulted in my having to put my reviews in Limbo for awhile.

Now, however... I am rising from the grave to bring you more reviews of horror movies, books and games!

There will be some changes occurring over the next couple of months. Some of those changes are:

"What Movie Wednesday"- Due to the way my work schedule is set-up, I don't have every Wednesday off- so I won't be able to do my weekly voting and tweet-along. To make up for this, I will be creating a page here that will show a schedule of tweet-along dates, 24 hour tweet-along dates, review postings, and any other special events that I might be able to conduct.
Navigation- I'd like to make things a little easier to navigate around the site- especially as the list of movies, etc expands.
Appearance- I'll also be revealing a new look for the blog. This includes a brand new LOGO. That's right, after three years, The Corner of Terror will be getting a new logo.

I'll being a lot of preparation over the next couple of weeks, and the reviews and tweeting will begin properly with the New Year.!

Hopefully, the new year will bring good fortune to us, and The Corner of Terror won't have to teeter on the edge of the Abyss again.

Stay with us as great things happen!

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them). So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit. Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad. While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project. High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title. ...

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...

Demon Seed (Dean Koontz)

Susan has withdrawn from the world after her divorce from her abusive husband. Her mansion contains state of the art household automation. She is secure from the dangers of modern Life. She is safe from an unsafe world... Too bad her mansion had other ideas... The idea of a Alexa/Siri controlled house going haywire may sound like something written within the past decade, but you might be surprised that Dean Koontz actually wrote this book back in 1973. That's right. Just five years after " 2001: A Space Odyssey " hit theatres, Koontz wrote this book brining HAL to a more personal level, while predicting the advent of programs like Alexa and Siri. This book is actually a pretty quick read at 301 pages. The story progresses and builds at a steady and fast pace. The writing is smooth and seamless as the tension and events unfold before you. I lost track of time as I turned page after page. I loved that this book was written from ...
