"Evil Dead" Returns With A Vengeance
3 April 2013 9:41 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Generally speaking, there are three things that you should never do in life: Don't eat the Yellow Snow, don't step on Superman's cape and don't attempt to remake Classic Horror films.
Think Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake. It was the film no one asked for and nobody really wanted to see. Gvs's Psycho was case of a film being prejudged in the audience's mind as “not worthy” long before the first frame. As a stand alone film based on its merits, with audiences and critics it was Doa.
Horror films can reach sacred status in the minds of fans for odd reasons, but when they do, it's almost impossible to change the mindset for those who worship them. Horror fans also have long memories. I've known people who insist that Boris Karloff's performance in the 1932 version of The Mummy started the Method Acting technique. (Okay, those guys are a little weird). But, »

Karloff and Lugosi in The Black Cat – A Look Back at 1934

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is a monthly newspaper run by Steve DeBellis, a well know St. Louis historian, and it’s the largest one-man newspaper in the world. The concept of The Globe is that there is an old historic headline, then all the articles in that issue are written as though it’s the year that the headline is from. It’s an unusual concept but the paper is now in its 25th successful year! Steve and I collaborated last year on an all-Vincent Price issue of The Globe and I’ve been writing a regular movie-related column since. Since there is no on-line version of The Globe, I post all of my articles here at We Are Movie Geeks as well. When Steve informed me that this month’s St. Louis Globe-Democrat is written as if it’s 1934, I jumped at the chance to write about the »

10 Classic Movie Monsters That Will Haunt Your Dreams
31 January 2013 2:35 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Monsters. I am such a sucker for monsters. Ever since childhood I have been frightened by them out of all proportion. I had monsters under the bed, in the wardrobe – even in the toilet (Thank you Ghoulies 3!). And that is what a good monster should do – it should frighten the crap out of you, otherwise what’s the point?
The list below mixes the best of classic oldie and classic modern monsters to produce a cavalcade of nightmare inducing fiends who are wont to sneak into your dreams when you least expect it and give you an absolute blinder of a nightmare. Trust me, I have had these characters frequent my dream time on several occasions and well, you just have to ask my psychiatrist what effect it has had on my poor tortured mind…
All joking aside, welcome to my world of nightmares: 10 classic movie monsters that will haunt your dreams. »

Remembering Boris Karloff

Feature Sarah Dobbs Jan 31, 2013
As the anniversary of his passing approaches, Sarah looks back over the career of Boris Karloff - one of cinema's true icons...
If there’s one classic movie star I’d love to have met, it’s Boris Karloff. Now, he’s mostly remembered for his breakthrough role in Universal’s 1931 adaptation of Frankenstein: if you close your eyes right now and imagine Karloff, chances are it’s in green face paint with bolts in either side of his neck. But there was a hell of a lot more to him than that.
Karloff was an amazingly talented actor who brought something special to just about every role he played, and it would have been amazing to get the chance to sit down and talk to him about his life and career, to get his perspective on fame, Hollywood, horror, acting, and all the rest of it. »

10 More Great Films Kids Should Watch (But Probably Won’t)
15 January 2013 12:32 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In March 2011, following some unusual circumstances at a screening of Contagion, I wrote a list of 10 Great Films Kids Should Watch, But Probably Won’t. For a medium that has literally thousands of films to choose from, now seems like a prudent time to go beyond the previous 10, and give some more suggestions.
It is clearly indicated by your responses to the last list, that many of you WhatCulturenareans really buy into and appreciate this idea of giving children a taste of cinema’s past. There is indeed a whole world beyond the family films of today, and I hope you enjoy some of my new suggestions.
Please feel free to make some of your own submissions as well. I look forward to reading your comments.
10. The Mummy (1932)
At once a truly magical yet terrifying entry in Unversal’s cannon of early monster movies, The Mummy is a great way »
