Gregg Dunning, the son of John Dunning, producer of the 1981 Canuck slasher My Bloody Valentine, is looking to unload the “human shower head” special FX prop from the film. For a gal that’s been in the basement for 28 years, she’s in pretty good shape. I’m just waiting for the inevitable bidding war between [...]

John Landis is suing Michael Jackson over unpaid royalties from “Thriller” — arguably the most famous video of all time.

Found this 7″ in a bin at a used record store in my neighbourhood recently, for a buck! I’d forgotten (or purged from my memory) that the J. Geils band did the Fright Night theme. Guess after “Centrefold” they were a hot horror commodity! As a bonus — and they don’t advertise this anywhere on [...]

From vacation, that is. After soaking in re-animating fluid for the past month we’ve returned. And as the Neverending Email Folder continues to dominate the day, here’s a wicked slick creepy music video for a song called “Caskets,” by a fellow named Damien Jurado, a link to which was mailed to me over the holidays.
