We Now Return You to Your Regularily Programmed Program...

Hey, folks! I hope you all had a good October (and enjoyed the articles I posted during it), and a good November!

I recently went on my annual ten day vacation/retreat at my best friend's cabin. While there, I watched and read a bunch of horror stuff. Upon my return, I started to draft up my reviews, with the intention of transcribing them to the blog here, and getting back into a regular schedule of posting!

Well, I'm proud- and glad, to announce that I've finished transcribing them all, and have set up the schedule for them.

You will find now reviews and articles here every Tuesday and Thursday at Noon (Pacific Standard Time)!

Yah, me!

In addition, you'll be able to read non-horror related articles from me every Monday and Wednesday over on "We Came From the Basement" at about 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time).

Woo Hoo!

NOT ONLY THAT, THOUGH! Nooooo… there's more!

I will also be making a concerted effort to post weekly on my personal blog, "#LifeInTheCorner" every Wednesday at Noon (Pacific Standard Time)!

Crikey!

Unfortunately, this return to posting doesn't mean that "What Movie Wednesday" will be returning at this time as my work schedule is subject to changing. However, if/when it DOES return... I have some interesting ideas for what I want to do with it.

Also, I'm looking to make a few changes to the look of the blog and maybe even design a new logo... Yes! A new logo!

Shocking!

So, tune in Tuesday for the official return of "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...

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. ...

The Black Castle (Les Daniels)

Vampires and witches are often a good basis for a horror novel. Through in the Spanish Inquisition, and odds are you'll get a pretty good story. In 1496, while the Spanish Inquisition is in full motion, Diego de Villanueva is seeking a way to rise through the ranks of the Inquistion. He will do anything he needs to... even use his brother's darkest secrets and knowledge to bring fear and hatred to the world... " The Black Castle " caught my eye while shopping at " The Book Place ". I was intrigued by the idea of it taking place during the Spanish Inquisition. While I did enjoy reading this book, I was also a little disappointed. The style is very fitting to the story- it has an almost old world charm and rythm to it that I found pleasing to the ear. It's also easy to read, and flows at a nice pace. While, it's not "fancy", the images it creates are fairly good and atmospheric. The story itself is a really interesting idea....
