Update: Plans Plans Plans!


Tuesday saw the first article in the relaunch of "The Corner of Terror".  Today, I'd like to take the opportunity to give you an idea of what to expect in the days, months, years ahead.

First off, you've probably noticed a sleeker new look that's very similar to our partners at "From the Basement".  Well, it's so the two blogs can put forth a more united, and cohesive "brand" in terms of being recognizable by those just sauntering through.  When you see us, hopefully you'll think of them as well- and vice versa.  I've also streamlined and tidied up the banner a bit, while keeping a nice horror element to it.

You've probably also noticed that I prefaced Tuesday's article with "The Game Room", and that it matches many of the articles I write over in The Basement as well.  Once again- it's intentional, so we can create a stronger tie between the two blogs.  Also it'll help make it a bit easier to search for articles since you can just do a search for "feature category" now too.

So- what can you expect moving forward from me?

Well, you can absolutely expect two articles a week from me- every Tuesday and Thursdays, I will post my articles at 7:00 pm (PST).  I will then post the links on Twitter and Facebook.

Over the next few days, I will be working on a new "logo icon" that I can use for Twitter, etc to replace my current "Zombie Mike" one... though I still love it very much.

Due to my current schedule, I won't be able to bring back "What Movie Wednesday".  I will however TRY to arrange something similar each month.  TRY being the operative word here.

I will also be working on updating the items on my CafePress Shop.  Over the course of the year, I will be showcasing some of the items that can be purchased through it

If I can learn the sound editing software I have, I'm also planning on starting a bi-monthly podcast.  It would be about 1/2 hour long.  I'm going to try to get it set up to debut in Jan 2021.  If the audio podcast does well, I might also try to do a video version as well for YouTube- but that's down the road.

I'm hoping to do some networking, and interest various film makers, performers, etc in doing some "Grave Questions" interviews as well.

I want to create a bit of a community if possible around "The Corner of Terror", so will also be doing my best to reach out to Followers and get ideas, etc.

So, that's where we stand right now.  It's an exciting time for me.  It feels great to be posting here again, and looking forward to making The Corner grow and hopefully prosper in the future.

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
