A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood
This week on Trailer Park Tuesday – we thought we would feature a movie created by some of our fellow North Carolinian filmmakers. A Few Brains More comes to us from director Christine Parker and co-writer Bill Mulligan of the Adrenalin Group based out of Sanford, NC. A Few Brains More is the second movie of a proposed zombie trilogy.

Tomb of Dracula & Gene Colan stake a claim on Collector’s Corner!
This week on Collector’s Corner, we continue to honor the memory of recently departed master artist – Gene “The Dean” Colan. We’re taking a look at Gene’s classic work on the greatest horror comic of the Seventies – Tomb of Dracula. Gene contributed all of the the art to the Tomb of Dracula series while Marv Wolfman contributed the scripts starting with the seventh issue in 1972 all the way to it’s end in 1979.
Gene recalled “when I heard Marvel was putting out a Dracula book, I confronted [editor] Stan [Lee] about it and asked him to let me do it. He didn’t give me too much trouble but, as it turned out, he took that promise away, saying he had promised it to Bill Everett. Well, right then and there I auditioned for it. Stan didn’t know what I was up to, but I spent a day at home and worked up a sample, using Jack Palance as my inspiration and sent it to Stan. I got a call that very day: “It’s yours.”
Colan and Wolfman were responsible for the creation of the character of Blade who would later serve as the basis for the Blade movies starring Wesley Snipes. Gene’s work on Tomb of Dracula was moody, atmospheric and horrifying. It stands today as a high water mark of both horror and comics in general.

Streebo’s Mid-week B-movie Poster Watch: The Amityville Horror!
This week – Streebo’s B-movie poster watch takes a look at the classic poster art for the “based on a atrue story” horror film that shocked the nation in the late Seventies – The Amityville Horror! This spooky poster features the classic evil house taking up the entirety of the composition – with the classic tag line screaming down the middle of the poster, “for God’s sake, get out!” This simple design does it’s job well by creating a tone of dread by using the imposing image of the house juxtaposed against the urgency of the tagline. If you like what you see – this poster can be yours! Follow the link below to eBay and place your bid now!
