FILMS FOR NOVEMBER

Ryan is in the process of editing episode 7 and should have it done in the next day or two. It's a good 1 1/2 hours or so. We figured we had to make up for our tardiness.

I wanted to post the movies for next month so you guys (and gals? maybe?) can get a head start on watching them. Since it's still October and most of you are in the mood for horror movies more than ever, maybe you could throw these on your watch list for this month.

Jim's choice:


Ryan's pick:


Remember to email us your thoughts so we can read them during episode 8. Also, let us know what movies you've been watching for Halloween this year! 

EL JEFE DE LA HORROR

You've heard us mention Jeff Dixon many times on the show. Jeff has been a good friend of ours for a long time and we've been meaning to post a link to his website for a while. Right now he's doing a countdown of horror films to watch this month and we highly recommend checking out his list HERE.

Jeff's taste in horror are a little different from what we talk about on the show. He LOVES slasher and gore movies. What can we say? He's a product of Fangoria magazine!

HAMMER YOUTUBE CHANNEL

Check it out! Hammer now has their own dedicated Youtube channel. This means if you're unable to find or just can't afford some of the titles suggested on our show, you'll be able to watch them on Youtube. I haven't messed around with it too much yet, but the quality looks to be MUCH better than some of the stuff we've watched on Youtube. There are even some HD titles.

In addition to classic films, there are also plenty of trailers for newer Hammer films.

A special thank you to our friend and listener, Jeff Dixon for bringing all this to our attention.

THE HALLOWEEN HEIRLOOM

As you all know, Ryan and I are big fans of comic books. Ryan turned me on to who is now one of my favorite writers, Jamie S. Rich. Jamie writes a lot of independent comics (or so they would be considered compared to the mighty Marvel or DC), but he's also had a run at some more popular titles lately.

Recently, Jamie has borrowed the idea of the "daily sketch" from comic book artists and started doing writing doodles to get the creative blood flowing. He also offers short stories for commission now as well, something I wish more writers would do.

In a recent post on his blog, Jamie posted a "doodle" that I really enjoyed called The Halloween Heirloom. I thought it was right up our alley, so I wanted to share it with you HERE.

Jamie is better known for his Noir type books, but I really like his horror stuff. Spell Checkers 2 would have to be my absolute favorite that he's written. The art in the book is very manga-esque and I think that may be kind of a turn off to older comic book readers, but seriously, give it a read. It's straight up horror and it takes some incredible turns that you would not expect.

Hopefully we'll get the chance to read some more spooky stuff from Jamie very soon.

EPISODE 6

Episode six sounds like shit. I'm just being honest. Ryan and I screwed up on the levels and didn't bother checking when we started recording. We tried our best to salvage it, but it still sounds all robotic and wavy. We talked about recording the episode over again, but we had some good email, discussion, and jokes and if we recorded again, some of that would have been lost. So, we opted for good content over awful sound and posted it.

We apologize and promise that next time will sound much better. Thank you for muscling through it with us and we hope you enjoyed it anyway.

Our films for next months episode are The Plague of Zombies (1966), and Horror Hotel (or The City of the Dead, 1960).

I'm really looking forward to these!

Until next time, friends!

P.S. I'm watching Exorcist III right now. Haven't watched it in years. It's as good as I remember.
