For the past couple weeks i've recommended a few newer foreign films, but I wanna go in a different direction this week. I'm a diehard fan of 70s-80s American slasher flicks, and there's just so many lost little gems in that sub genre that are just begging for someone to talk about them. That brings me to.....Unhinged (1982)Unhinged tells the very familiar tale of three young ladies on their way

Every week, I like to recommend a more obscure lesser known horror film that a good portion of the population probably hasn't seen. But this week, i'm going in a different direction by suggesting you watch, or re-watch, a film from one of the biggest horror movie franchises around.Halloween 3 : Season Of The WitchI want you to remove all negative feelings you have towards this film.

Even though this is an album from a hip-hop group, I'm recommending it anyway because there is WAY more singing than rhyming on it.

The State's five-member pardon and parole board has recommended that the life sentence of Norma Jane Lumpkin be commuted to time served. In 1981, Lumpkin took out a $210,000 life insurance policy on her husband and, with the help of a teenage accomplice, beat him to death with a baseball bat. The police found the body in the trunk of her car when she was pulled over for speeding. Today, Lumpkin's supporters say she suffered from "battered spouse syndrome," although a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already considered this defense and upheld the original sentence. Some consider it noteworthy that abuse was not a central consideration during the course of the original trial. Although Lumpkin has been "written up" for misconduct three times while in prison, she is credited with having start

The Arkansas State Parole Board is recommending that Govenor Mike Beebe (D) grant clemency to one Anthony F. Thrash, a convicted killer who escaped from prison in 1996, only to be recaptured within months. Trash is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for a 1980 murder. The Board,however, is recommending that that sentence be commuted to 23 years. Thrash maintains he is innocent but his clemency application says he has not been "sitting around simply holding resentments or festering anger, bitterness and hostility." The clemency application is also opposed by the Desha County sheriff's office and prosecutors. See story here.
