Xquisite Corpse 2011 Chapters 4 & 5

Monday rolls around and thoughts turn to work... and my latest summary of William Castle's 2011 Xquisite Corpse project. No need to wait, because here it is!

The story so far:

Johnnie Moon has a gift- a gift that winds up costing him a leg and his Harley. A mysterious woman with black hair calls out to him through the gift... but to what end? What importance does she and Johnnie have to the fate of the world? While allowing Johnnie the opportunity to avoid disaster at one turn, will the gift bring him nothing but horror at the next?

Having just barely escape death, Johnnie is now forced to take the long road to his destiny with the black haired woman in his visions. On the way, he comes across the auburn haired Raven and a child that will die if Johnnie doesn't act to deflect fate's fatal shot. But Raven, her boyfriend, and the child may be more than he thinks... and could very well mean trouble he doesn't need...

Rich Orth- who also wrote Chapter Seven of the second "Scare It Forward!" tale this year, brings us Chapter Four, and introduces us to the lovely Raven, while Rickie Guthrie moves things forward and helps Johnnie get into a potentially lethal situation. How will it turn out? Only the next writer has any idea on that! Check out William Castle's blog for the full story, as well as "Scare it Forward!: Undertow," and the second 2011 "Scare it Forward!" tale, and "Scare it Forward!: Angel Island"

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now. Thank you. TCoT : Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica : I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ". So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad

The Phantom of the Opera

Not too long ago, I reviewed the silent horror classic, "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", and wound up being in the mood to view a few other of the silent horror films in my collection. The next one I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Lon Chaney, Sr, and released in 1925. A mysterious stranger has been threatening the star singer of the Paris Opera House- someone who has signs his letters simply as, "The Phantom". This stranger wants to clear the way so his protege, Christine Daae can ascend to stardom herself. Soon, her love for the Comte de Chagny collides with The Phantom's desire for Christine forcing both to take drastic actions in order to be with the one they love. " The Phantom of the Opera " actually underwent three periods of re-shoots and editing, due to poor reception and test viewings. In 1930, a sound version was created- often assumed to be what is called "The Eastman House Print". It is
