Halloween Day by Day: Trick or Treat

  October.  It's a time when the leaves start to fall, and the air gets crisper.  It's a time when mysterious fogs start to roll through the trees, and strange sounds echo from the bushes.  It's a time when the veil between the Living and the Dead tears a little. It's a time when The Corner of Terror awakens to bring you " Halloween Day by Day "! That's right, we're back for a FULL MONTH of horror related fun and frivolity!  We have some great treats for you... and maybe a trick up our sleeves. What sort of stuff do we have to offer this year?  Well- let's reach into the candy bowl, and find out: I'll will be bringing you horror book reviews every Tuesday, and comic reviews on Saturdays.  Mondays will see him counting out some of his "Top Five Lists", while checking out "The Omen" movies on Wednesdays.  Friday's is "tip and sip time" as he kicks back and samples some horror and October themed brews.  And don...

Halloween Day by Day: "Angst" (2003)

During this years, 24 hour horror movie tweet along, I tweeted along to a British horror film called " Angst ", and I felt it deserved a few words... Helen can't have sex... because her talking vagina devours men. Dennis can't follow through on his love for Helen... because he's wanted for the murder of a conjoined twin. What fate awaits these two... and all those that get involved in their lives? 2003's " Angst " (also called " Penetration Angst "), by director Wolfgan Buld, was a painful experience for me. The story was just a rambling mess of nonsensical gibberish: talking vaginas, conjoined twins, a bank robbing stripper, a panty sniffing cop, and a rapist in a gimp mask who's crippled by a stuffed bunny on the stairs. Oh.. and the fakest mustache in history: A horror all its own... The characters were all just fucked right up- ALL of them.  The cop fiance is a panty sniffer, the gyno is a rapist,...

What Movie Wednesday: "Billy the Kid vs Dracula" (1966)

This past Wednesday, I brought back an old feature- "What Movie Wednesday".  It went well in my opinion, and I had fun doing the tweet along. So, here's the review! Billy the Kid has "retired" and gotten engaged to the daughter of a wealthy rancher.  Soon, however, Billy finds himself in for the fight of his life against the Lord of the Undead... Master of the Children of the Night... DRACULA!  Billy is his fiance's only chance of avoiding a fate worse than death. .. This is truly a B-Movie of epic proportions.  As Vance Kotrla (@SciFi_Romance) aptly put it: The story, the characters, the acting, the camera work... all of it.  Just ALL of it.  The best part was John Carradine (David Carradine's father)... especially his skill at giving us "crazy eyes" like the example below: See what I mean?  Just fantastic! Despite it being a highly flawed movie (aka- "HOW did this movie ever get made?" flawed), it was good fo...

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...

Tweet Tweet Tweeting...

As many of you know- I do a lot of tweeting.  Wednesday nights, I tweet along to horror movies as part of " What Movie Wednesday ."  You probably also know that Thursday nights, I can be found  @camethebasement tweeting along to Jay and Shawn's radio show.  Well, I'm going to be doing a lot more tweeting starting this Friday. Why? Because this Friday will mark the first of a new Twitter series that sees me tweeting along to NON-Horror movies over in The Basement .  That's right- Jay and Shawn have agreed to let me invade their Twitter profile so that I can ramble, rant, and even mock along to all sorts of movies. So, follow along with me tonight as I tweet along to the " We Came From the Basement " radio show from 10:00 pm - 11:00 (PST).  You can listen to them on 92.5 CFBX on your FM dial- or you can listen via the internet at www.thex.ca !  Then join me tomorrow night starting at 7:00 pm (PST) on their Twitter account as I pop this week'...
