George A. Romero's Day of the Dead
It’s the darkest day of horror the world has ever known – it’s George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead! In 1969, George A. Romero changed the genre of horror as we know it and the way films are made as we know it with his seminal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. He followed that up almost a decade later with the now equally important Dawn of the Dead which ushered in an era of gore films. In the 80′s Romero found himself unable to secure the financing he wanted for his third entry in the zombie series and was forced to scale the entire project back.
When Day of the Dead was finally released – fans of his previous two films didn’t know what to make of the bleak nihilistic tale of terror that unfolded before them. With time – Romero’s Day of the Dead has come to be heralded as another classic in a series filled with classics. It’s a personal favorite of the Mutantville Players and we’re happy that someone uploaded it to Youtube so that we could share it with you here.
(Witness the darkest day of horror the world has ever known after the leap!)

Needless to say he was thrilled to have his voice included in what has easily become the Seals most popular production to date, “Heroes of The North.”

From Fear.NET: Shutter Island opens this Friday, and a lof of folks are probably wondering how director Martin Scorsese — who's tackled all kinds of film genres in his forty-plus year career — will handle a traditional thriller. Having seen the film, I can say that despite what its trailer promises, it's pretty far from traditional, but still terrific; and it wears its genre influences proudly on its sleeve. (In fact, with apologies to The Departed, I think the film is probably Scorses's best since Casino.) Of course, the Oscar-winning filmmaker isn't exactly a stranger to our neck of the woods. His Cape Fear was a pretty straightforward excursion into terror, and, upon close inspection, his entire oeuvre is littered with moments scarier than what's offered by most of today's horror movies. So in honor of Shutter Island, we here at FEARnet present the twelve Scariest Moments in Martin Scorsese Movies. Why only twelve, instead of the more frightening number that follows it? Because you, dear reader, are hereby invited to vote for your own after you watch Shutter Island this weekend. Its bound to give you a few chilling ideas.

I use eBay to track down rare, exciting, cheesy or just plain bad posters from time to time. I rarely buy anything – but I enjoy watching them. I’ve decided to share a few of these images with you. Today’s watched poster is the atrocious The Night of Bloody Horror one-sheet! I just love how some designer somewhere thought that all this poster needed was a skull face wearing a Tina Turner wig – and voila! Instant TERROR!!!
From eBay: You will enjoy this 11″ x 17″ Style B print featuring 1969 The Night of Bloody Horror . Perfect for your home or office! Also makes a great gift.
CAST: Gerald McRaney Gaye Yellen Michael Anthony Gerald C. Arnato John Barber DIRECTED BY: Joy N. Houck Jr.
