MGM Midnite Movies: Theater of Blood/Madhouse. Price gets gruesome! 2008-04-17 20:37:16 If you check this site on a regular basis, and I hope that you do, you’ll notice that we have a deep and somewhat obsessive love for Vincent Price. In my opinion Price has been involved in some of the finest movies of the last century and this double feature is no exception. It [...] Read more:Blood
More bad news: Hazel Court dies at 82 2008-04-17 11:31:07 We’re big fans of Corman and AIP up in here so when we hear that Robert Quarry is getting the big-time shaft it comes to us as a huge bummer. But they say tragedy comes in threes and from the looks of this news piece, we’re turning the corner at number 2 relating to [...] Read more:Court
Robert ‘Count Yorga’ Quarry needs your help! 2008-04-16 14:44:08 To analogize vampires: What Christopher Lee was to Hammer Films, RobertQuarry
was to American International Pictures. As Count Yorga, he gives Lee a good run for his money as the aristocratic ghoul so that’s why the news I bring to you is such a huge bummer.
It would seem that Mr. Quarry fell in [...]
Check out these sweet posters for The Thing! 2008-04-16 12:28:06 Would you look at that thing? I love silk screened posters. I’m a real big fan of guys like Coop (early coop, his fat devil-girl porno posters turned me off big time), Frank Kozik and Sheppard Fairley. I even own an old Coop poster for a White Zombie show featuring Bettie Page in [...] Read more:Check

Cinema Suicide T-Shirts! 2008-04-18 20:45:54 So the photo above kind of sucks and I plan on doing a good shoot with a better camera but I was so excited about this that I couldn’t wait to show them off.

Airport ‘70 - ‘79. Holy Shit, We’re Going Down! 2008-04-19 18:38:39 As a rule I’m a pretty consistent person. I find something that I like and i stick with it. Up until now all you readers know is that I like Vincent Price, AIP, and Horror films. What you may not know is that I have strange obsession with all things 70s… I like my music [...] Read more:Going

Lock up the good silver. Jim Van Bebber filmography coming to DVD. 2008-04-20 22:14:54 I have strange opinions about Jim Van Bebber. I think that when he’s not locked up in prison, blowing his budgets on booze and drugs or threatening Don May Jr.’s answering machine he makes fucking fantastic movies. It’s a shame that his personal problems prevent him from meeting his potential as a filmmaker because if [...]
MGM Midnite Movies: Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow/Ghost in the Invisible Bikini 2008-04-21 21:58:24 Sometimes even we here at Cinema Suicide have to take a break from Satan and chainsaws. It is in times like this that I turn to the wonderful counter culture and teen films of the 50s and 60s. There is certain warmth in the beach films and teen gone wild films from this era. I [...] Read more:Ghost

The Late Great Al Adamson and His Biker “Epic” Satan’s Sadists 2008-04-21 14:23:47 Al Adamson, king of the schlockmeisters. Famous for making some of the cruddiest drive-in films including the infamous Dracula Vs. Frankenstein (1971, starring a pathetic looking Lon Chaney Jr. in his last screen role) and Blood of Ghastly Horror (1972), Al produced, directed and wrote some of the world’s best bad movies that [...] Read more:Great

Detroit Metal City trailer 2008-04-23 13:29:08 Occasionally, I warm my frosty attitude toward manga when something like DetroitMetal
City comes along. It seems strange to me that there could be a comic about a metal band. In cases such as this, half the gag usually goes to the music and it’s tough to put that across on the illustrated page. [...]
The return of Splatterhouse! 2008-04-23 13:05:27 I was in Canada, an arcade in the CN Tower (Canadian Space Needle) the first time I ever saw Splatterhouse and being an avid fan of both video games and horror movies, you can imagine my elation when I discovered such a gory freakin’ video game. Maybe you’re familiar with it, maybe not. [...]
Jeffrey Combs to star in The Dunwich Horror… kind of. 2008-04-23 09:15:32 You’re not a horror fan if you don’t like JeffreyCombs
. He plays the perfect weirdo and my con encounter with the guy confirmed my suspicion that it’s not much of a stretch for him to play those roles. Nice guy. Knows a lot about paper stock.
Dread Central brought down some news this morning about [...]
America’s Goriest Home Videos. Diary of the Dead. 2008-04-25 23:47:46 Even though I was 7 or 8 when I discovered horror movies, I really don’t consider myself a fan until I was in my early teens. The about page on this blog used to have this long winded story about how a friend and I would rent several movies a day from this little [...] Read more:America

Against the odds, Fearnet scores with “Catacombs.” 2008-04-25 20:47:49 I think I can speak for everyone when I say that Fearnet.com and it’s on-demand counterpart was a huge disappointment. What was a brilliant idea and would have been an enormous gift to horror fans ended up as an unbelievable waste of time. I mean, despite the occasional gem, they show movies that [...] Read more:scores
Bow the fuck down! It’s Ace Frehley’s birthday! 2008-04-27 22:05:35 Say what you want, but to quote Dave! “there is a time and a place for Kiss” and that time is right now here at Cinema S. I was really, really little the first time I saw Kiss on TV. I’m talking 3 or 4 years old. It was a special effects [...]
Forgotten Cult Hero Michael Sopkiw and the Hillbilly Revenge Flick Blastfighter 2008-04-27 21:34:49 Most cult actors have a great catalog of movies behind them establishing their place in the film world. Yet some only make a few movies, if that, and then seemingly drop off the face of the Earth. A great example is Peter Bark, whose only credited screen role is Burial Ground (1981, aka [...] Read more:Forgotten

Brett Piper Unclogs His Drainiac 2008-04-28 21:58:31 My biggest problem with a large portion of modern-day B-movies, if I may be so bold, is their penchant for unchecked, misplaced arrogance. Before you start overloading your limited synapses with several cubic tons of anger and rage, allow me to explain. The cult classic is, by definition, a piece of work which has gained [...] Read more:Brett

Shaolin Challenges Ninja 2008-05-01 07:40:53 As with a great deal of Hong Kong kung-fu flicks,you can’t really judge a book by it’s cover. Or in this case, a DVD by it’s title. Shaolin Challenges Ninja
isn’t really about a group of Shaolin fighters fighting Ninja, as cool as that sounds. It is more of a film about the cultural differences [...]
They Planted the Living and Harvested the Dead: Invasion of the Blood Farmers 2008-05-02 07:33:51 “It’s just a farm house and looks pretty innocent from the road, but once you’re inside you’ll see what REALLY happens on a terror farm.”
Those words opened a radio spot for a movie that would plague my curiosity for years, an advertisement for the Inavsion of the Blood
Farmers (1972). I wanted to know [...] Read more:Living

Horror Gets A New Set Of “Teeth” 2008-05-02 07:24:06 For the past several years, American horror has been stuck in a very unflattering rut. Don’t get me wrong — there are certainly several insanely talented individuals attempting to carve their own little tasty slice out of the genre, but most seem sadly content with rehashing ideas that have, for the most part, overstayed their [...]
Sammo Hung Me Out To Dry With His “Fatal Move” 2008-05-05 21:25:05 Although writer/director Dennis Law’s lifeless 2008 Sammo Hung actioner Fatal
Move began its cinematic life cycle as a prequel to the insanely entertaining Wilson Yip gangster pic SPL (aka Kill Zone), the end result, unfortunately, is light years away from its highly ambitious origins. That’s not to say that the film is a complete and [...]
Ruggero Deodato once again to feed the Amazon. Cannibals planned for production. 2008-05-05 14:32:07 Re-exploring the horror movies of the 70’s and 80’s has been the hip thing to do in recent years with everyone paying tribute to their favorite movies. It’s astonishing to me that it has taken this long for someone to get the balls up to go back to one of horror’s most savage and notorious [...] Read more:Amazon

Hammer is back! The house that Dracula built wins the rights to Let The Right One In 2008-05-05 11:45:34 Look, TV choices on Sundays are shit so when I saw Christopher Lee’s name in credits, it was all I needed to get me to watch Return To Witch Mountain. I have very fond childhood memories of the Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing double-whammy on Saturday afternoons thanks to the WLVI Creature Double Feature and because [...] Read more:Hammer

Nazis in spaaaaaace! Iron Sky. 2008-05-07 07:52:52 Is there anything funnier than Nazis
? Plenty, actually. The pulpy possibilities of casting a horrifying, genocidal empire as the villains in your Indy-inspired action movie or your 30’s era sci-fi movie are endless. Hogan’s Heroes proved that if nothing else, they were easy to make a mockery of and no one can seem to get [...]
Mother always knows best in “Mother’s Day” 2008-05-06 21:12:27 One of the early cinematic abominations to pour forth from the filthy minds at Troma Films, “Mother’s Day” is a lot like most exploitation epics of the era—nasty, brutish and with a dash of slapstick comedy thrown in to make all the rape and murder a little more palatable. Director Charles Kaufman (brother of Lloyd, [...] Read more:always
An Early D’Amato Film Reappears: Death Smiles At a Murderer 2008-05-09 22:59:05 Being a fan of european exploitation films I’ve always had an admiration for trash auteur Joe D’Amato. Love him or hate him, Joe has an amazing way of painting the world as a disgusting depraved universe where everybody is a twisted sociopath. D’Amato’ s work includes the more important films in the Emanuelle [...] Read more:Early

Prachya Pinkaew’s “Chocolate” Might Rot Your Teeth 2008-05-09 22:44:46 Bold statement of the month: Thailand — Prachya Pinkaew in particular — is the reigning champ of action cinema. The rest of the world, it would appear, is still trying to catch up. What makes this country’s ballsy brand of no-holds-barred, anything goes martial arts mayhem so impossibly intense, you ask? It has, I believe, [...] Read more:Chocolate
