Ghoul (left) and Zombie (right)

This is what I’m talking about. Some real hard hitting analysis and dissection of the difference between ghouls and zombies. I stumbled upon this excellent article while searching for the specific difference in the D&D world, and I’m glad I did. We need more thought-provoking pieces about REAL issues.
While looking for reviews of Twins of Evil last night, I stumbled across a horror movie blog called “Wopsploitation.” I don’t really have much more to say other than there is a horror blog, started in 2007, that is STILL being updated, called “Wopsploitation.” That is fantastic.
His rating scale is pretty great (a two star movie is described as “A Michelob Wednesday night date with Junction Deb. You’ll empty your egg-purse but you wouldn’t brag about it to anybody”) and he has some pretty good reviews too. Not the usual shit, he reviews some obscure gems. Go read.
Welcome to Hammer Horror Sunday, a most-likely once-off post where I rant about a movie I saw on Sunday that was good enough to make my lazy ass write an article. Today it’s Hammer Horror’s 1971 flick, Twins of Evil.
Boobs ahead…

As per-usual, I am way behind the times.
I THINK I remember hearing about Shadow of the Vampire many years back, the movie poster brings back memories from some part of my brain I haven’t yet destroyed.
The ongoing homo-erotic subplot between Murnau and Albin Grau (Udo Kier) is insanely amusing for whatever reason. And Willem Dafoe as a vampire is just fucking hysterical. The Green Goblin as a vampire? Absolutely works.
I can’t tell if the movie is trying to be funny at times, or just comes across that way. It doesn’t help matters that Malkovich has no German accent whatsoever, yet he’s supposedly playing the greatest German film director ever.
This movie though is a winner in my book, and absolutely worth the rental cost. It gives high laughs and some good chills at a relatively low risk rate. You already have the good cast, and silly storyline. I highly recommend it.
Sean Hartter has created some ridiculously awesome alternate universe movie posters (think wrong actor wrong film) for some classic films. I am seriously freaking out at how awesome this is.
I really like Friday the 13th, Batman, and Ghostbusters.
Check out all the posters here. You can even buy them!!!
Pretty awesome.
Never forget
We love After Dark. I’ve also been seriously stoked about their Originals project, their latest foray into the horror movie “festival” concept.
They’ve recently released the first still (seen above) from their latest film, Husk, and I eagerly await its release. I’ll prime myself by watching some old films to die for this week.
We’re actually both huge cat fans, but this short film by Jonathan Craig is still pretty awesome:
Really great read here on some memorable Halloween movies.
