First, I want to give thanks to the site, Elder Signs Press for writing the post ‘Cthulhu in Pop Culture‘ – (this is were I got the video in this post from.)

I remember as a kid I would watch cartoons on Saturday morning, I am sure every child did.  I would watch Pink Panther, Dungeons and Dragons, Thundercats, and many others.  There was one cartoon that I never got into was The Real Ghostbusters.  I think maybe I was too old when they started to air them or maybe I had a secret loyalty to the movie – what ever it was I didn’t like it.

Now, I kinda wished that I did watch some of the episodes because apparently they had some really awesome content and tips of the hat to classic horror.

Check out this clip of  The Real Ghostbuster – The Ghostbusters go up against Cathulhu, one of the old ones, & his cult with the help of Doctor Alice Derleth from Arkham.

How freaking awesome is this?  Did you see the magazine he pulled out to learn how to battle Cathulhu – So amazing.

Ok, every time I mention ANYTHING about John Cusack, I am quickly cut-off by a nearby voice blurting out, “John Cusack is soooo hot!’  No, it is not just Mylie blurting it out – it is any female who is within ear shot of me speaking his name.

So, ladies and men who feel this way – lets take a moment to get this out of the way because this post will be about ……. John Cusack.

This week John Cusack posted on his twitter account this information, “officiali- will play edgar allen poe in fall-a-film called the raven, send any poe- gold – my way as i begin this journey into the abyss”

This is where I blurt, “Edgar Allen Poe is SOOOOO Awesome!”  ( now we have something in common).

This story get even better because the director, James McTeigue – they guy who directed V for Vendetta and Ninja Assassin – will be directing The Raven (starring John Cusack).

The plot:

“There’s basically a serial killer loose in 1850′s Baltimore and he’s using Poe’s stories as his methodology, so then he leaves clues at each murder and says it’s up to Poe to find him before he kills (again).”

In July, we talked and showed the ‘leaked’ trailer for AMC’s The Walking Dead on Zombie Popcorn Radio.  I didn’t want to post the video here on Zombie Popcorn until the official release of the trailer, due to the poor quality of the ‘leaked’ video.

Today, is that day.  AMC has released the official ‘The Walking Dead’ trailer

AMC’s The Walking Dead is a six-episode series based on the comic book written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics. The Walking Dead tells the story of life following a zombie apocalypse. It follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home. Andrew Lincoln (Love Actually, Teachers, Strike Back) will portray the lead role of Rick Grimes while actor Jon Bernthal (The Pacific, The Ghost Writer) will portray the character Shane, who worked with Rick in the police department before the zombie disaster. Other cast includes Laurie Holden (The Shield), who plays Andrea, one of two sisters who join the survivors of the zombie plague, Steven Yeun as Glenn, an expert scavenger and Sarah Wayne Callies (Prison Break), who plays Rick’s wife Lori.

Another episode of Zombie Popcorn Radio has made its mark on the world.

In this episode we talk about why it would suck to be a cult leader and how Tom Selleck’s mustache can take on Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah and ewok sex.

That is not the only thing we talk about in this episode here are some other topics;

• Tim Burton reunited with Ed Wood screenwriters to work on two new projects
• Wes Craven’s My Soul to Take

A couple of days ago, I told you about the Werner Herzog film, My Son, My Son, What have ye Done?

Now you will have a chance to ask Werner Herzog any question you want!

On Monday, August 23, 2010 First Look Studios is hosting the first press day exclusively conducted within social media platforms with the acclaimed director, Werner Herzog, on behalf of his September 14, 2010 DVD release of MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE?

Herzog will respond in real-time to questions tweeted to the First Look Studios’ twitter account, with his responses posted on the First Look Studios’ Youtube channel.

All you have to do is tweet your question between the hours of 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM PST – hope to see you there because Zombie Popcorn will be there!

If you are not able to take part in this event but want to ask a question, feel free to email us or leave your question in the comment section below and we will ask for you.

Remember the 1988 movie, Night of the Demons?  The movie that only a few horror fans truly fell in love with?

Guess what?

There is a remake of Night of the Demons and it is hitting UK theaters on September 17th but is only going to be on DVD in the States on October 19th.

So what is the difference between the two films – well, I am sure you already guess that the new Night of the Demons is fast paced and sex’d up.

See for yourself with the official trailer

(there is blood and boobs in this video so if you are under age please watch this with your mom and/or dad)

The movie Get Low is out in theaters now and people should not let this movie slip through their fingers.

Get Low stars Robert Duvall,Sissy Spacek,Bill Murray, and a long list of other great actors.   A movie spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life legend about the mysterious, 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party… while he was still alive.

The film, My Son, My Son, What have ye Done? is directed by Werner Herzog and is expected to hit the streets this September.

Inspired by true events, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, is a story of ancient myth and modern madness. Brad Macallam, an aspiring actor performing in a Greek tragedy, commits the crime he is to enact in the play by killing his mother. The mystery unfolds in a series of flashbacks displaying the psychological destruction of the killer set off by an ill-fated white-water kayaking trip in a distant land.
Roger Ebert said this about the film,

Werner Herzog’s “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done” is a splendid example of a movie not on autopilot. I bore my readers by complaining about how bored I am by formula movies that recycle the same moronic elements.

This film looks very interesting and may just be added to my personal collection.

The countdown has been going on for months and the moment has arrived. I know some of us have been waiting with extreme anticipation and now we know!

Revealed at 9am (PT) today  from is the new Friday the 13th….

Check it out! (the image on the right)

This is from Friday the 13th part 3 – YES, the 3D one and the most famous one because Jason gets his mask in my opinion the best 3D movie from the 80′s.

I really hope they add the legendary axe mark in the mask.

If you can’t wait for the new Friday the 13th item you can pick up the newest Jason Voorhees: The Terror of Crystal Lake Statue. (Below)

Remember the choose your own adventure books we used to read when we were kids?

Remember how much fun they were and how you tried to collect them all when the book fair came to your school?

Choose Your Own Adventure is a series of children’s gamebooks first published by Bantam Books from 1979-1998 and currently being re-published by Chooseco. Each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character’s actions in response to the plot and its outcome.

Ok, now that I have taken you down memory lane what would you say if I say there is a Choose Your Own Adventure that involved zombies?  and what would you say if I told you it was not a book but a ‘movie’.

You would say AWESOME, where can I watch this?   – Right?

So here it is the Choose Your Own Adventure Zombie movie.

(more after the video.)

As you saw in the video  there is pizza company called, Hell Pizza.  Yes, this is a real pizza company and this is their commercial.  Their flagship store is headquartered in New Zealand and has locations in Ireland, Australia, UK  and apparently coming soon to Canada.

Don’t get your hopes up yet for the United States, I don’t see how a place like this would ever fly well in the states but if they ever arrive here – they will be my one and only pizza place.

In the history of horror films there is one film that stands out among the rest because of the mental scares it leaves on you,  That film is Rosemary’s Baby.  The dream-like feel the movie forces on its viewing audience is remarkable.  The entire time you are watching the film you are in disbelief of what is really happening.

Rosemary’s Baby is about a young couple move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life.  *Spoiler Alert* What adds to this story is the fact that Rosemary’s husband sold her soul to the devil and allowed Satan to have sex and impregnate Rosemary.

If you think the story couldn’t become stranger then you should read the book, Rosemary’s Baby written by Ira Levin.  Over at the Zombie Popcorn Book Club you can pick up the Audiobook which is read by Mia Farrow, the ebook or the paperback.

Rosemary’s Baby is one of the only stories that I recommend reading the book and watching the movie – you will be completely satisfied with both but won’t be complete with just one.

Rosemary’s Baby is a 1967 best-selling horror novel and is said to have  major elements of the story  inspired by the publicity surrounding the Church of Satan of Anton LaVey which had been founded in 1966.

What an interesting show we have lined up for you on this weeks Zombie Popcorn Radio.

and in Broken video format!  (if you watch the video – when we ‘break it’ keep an eye on Paul’s face – it is AWESOME!

Tzameti, which is Georgian for thirteen,  is a film that will kill you with suspense.  I feel everyone should watch this movie but words do not and can not describe the craftsmanship of this movie – so watch the trailer below to get a preview of the white knuckle suspense.  

A clean-faced 20-year-old, Sebastien, leads an impoverished life with his immigrant family, constantly struggling to find the money for their next meal. When hired to repair the roof of the morphine-addicted Godon (Philippe Passon), Sebastien eavesdrops in on a conversation which appears to offer a quick and easy solution to his money troubles.

Intensely engaging and uniquely insightful 13 (Tzameti) is a thrillingly surreal journey that begins with the descent of a young man, Sebastien (Georges Babluani), into a sinister criminal underworld in which men gamble on each others lives in a shockingly brutal new sport…

September 2, 2010 North America will get a once in a life time chance to see the best vampire movie of the year.  The movie is,  ’Suck‘  

Don’t miss the outrageous rock ‘n’ roll vampire spoof about a down and out band, The Winners, who will do anything for a record deal. When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley) tells them that they are getting “long in the tooth”, he doesn’t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, their humdrum image radically changes when Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the bass player, disappears one night with a hip vampire(Dimitri Coats). She emerges with a sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.

As the band members succumb, one by one, to blood lust, their “gimmick” launches them into the limelight. Following an “incident” on a national radio show with “Rock’n Roger” (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the lead singer, is haunted by an eerie bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop)calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that fame is not what it’s cracked up to be.

Suck is a wild ride down a highway to hell, with a killer soundtrack that includes Iggy Pop’s, “TVeye” and “Success”; Alice Cooper’s, “I am a Spider”; Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Nuthin”; David Bowie’s, “Here Comes the Night” and The Rolling Stones, “Sympathy for the Devil”.

You will only get one chance, meaning ONE DAY,  to see this film in theaters and then you will have to wait for it to hit Blu-Ray.

A  film that is based in Edinburgh, Scotland slipped through my sight when it was released in the UK.   The film is New Town Killers.  

Two private bankers, Alistair and Jamie, who have the world at their feet get their kicks from playing a 12 hour game of hunt, hide and seek with people from the margins of society. Their next target is Sean Macdonald a parentless teenager who lives with his sister on a housing estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh. She’s in debt, he’s going nowhere fast. Sean agrees to play for cash. He soon realises he’s walked into twelve hours of hell where survival is the name of the game.

To me it feels like a modern day version of , The Most Dangerous Game with a little added twist to the hunt.

Check out the trailer

KEZDVCTMXCDP

The Hunt is on!

Sometimes we need to look at our history to be inspired to do the things that seem too hard to do but need to be done.  Today, we will take a look at the history of Ethel MacDonald.

Ethel MacDonald  was a Glasgow-based Scottish anarchist and activist and, in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, a propagandist on Barcelona Loyalist radio.   A native of Motherwell, Scotland, Ethel MacDonald, one of nine children, left home at sixteen, joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and worked at various jobs. In 1931 she met Guy Aldred and, with him, became politically active in the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation (APCF). From then on, she was associated with Aldred and joined him in the June 1934 formation of the United Socialist Movement (USM).

In October 1936 MacDonald travelled to Barcelona with Guy Aldred’s partner, Jenny Patrick, to represent and show the support of the Scottish anarchist movement for the Republican (Loyalist) side in the Spanish Civil War. In January 1937 she began to transmit regular English-language reports on the war on Barcelona’s widely-heard Anarchist radio station run by the Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) [National Workers Confederation]. In the crackdown following the events of May 1937 (Barcelona May Days)  she assisted the escape of anarchists wanted by the Communist secret police and smuggled into prison letters and food for fellow anarchists held by regional authorities. Through her activities in helping anarchists escape Spain, she became renowned in the British press as the “Scots Scarlet Pimpernel”. Between July and November 1937, she was a national figure in the newspapers, with daily reports and inquiries as to her whereabouts and activities. Eventually she herself was arrested by a faction of the Loyalist forces, but later released. She returned to Glasgow that November, following speaking engagements in France and Amsterdam.

There is a book and documentary out about Ethel MacDonald that everyone should read or at least watch the documentary.  So, to make it easy you can pick up the book here as well, as watch the entire documentary.

Saturday night was the LIVE broadcast of Zombie Popcorn Radio and it was damn hot!  No, I don’t mean in a sexy way – I mean, the heat index was so high that it caused my computer to overheat and malfunction during the show. Oh, don’t worry we still pushed through to bring you a great show and now you can listen to it on iTunes or on Zombie Popcorn Radio.  The show is called, ‘Our Issues are Technical‘  

The topics included;

So grab your towel and wipe yourself off – and head over to Zombie Popcorn Radio for another episode of hot dripping fun in 3D!

I have never been into the Saw films.  In fact, I have only seen parts of one and I stopped watching it because it bored me to death. I loved the concept of the movie and wished it would have been a little more exciting and visceral.

All that may change when the final chapter of the Saw franchise comes out in October.  Yes, I am talking about SAW 3D.  I think it will have the same effect on me as Final Destination 3D had on me. ( Meaning the 3D killings was the only thing that saved that movie.)

So, I am putting all my dislike of the Saw franchise aside and am hoping for an awesome 3D horror movie.

Here is the trailer …. don’t let me down Jigsaw.

It seems like it was just last week when I wrote about the first official trailer for the upcoming movie, Machete.  Now there is a brand new red-band trailer for the movie.

This trailer is attended to be for viewers 18 and up – due to violence and nudity.

A new TRON trailer has just been released from Comic Con.  I still think this is going to be the best 3D film of 2010.

Thursday night at 10:00pm the World Premiere of Lost Boys: The Thrist hits Comic Con.  There will be a special introduction by the Frog Brothers – Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander.  

If you are interested in attending here is the info;

10:00 PM World Premiere of Lost Boys: The Thirst

1 Park Boulevard
San Diego, CA 92101
(1800 Seats)

So what does this screening have to do with Zombie Popcorn?  Well, Zombie Popcorn has been invited to interview the Frog Brothers. If you want to hear this interview you need to tune in to Zombie Popcorn Radio this Saturday at 7pm (Eastern)

Also, if you have any questions you would like to have asked leave them in the comment section below and I will ask them for you.

If you want to know more about Lost Boys: The Thrist here is the Synopsis and the trailer.

As the lost boys and girls of San Cazador prepare to party under the Blood Moon, an alpha vampire conspires to turn these unsuspecting ravers into an army of undead. The only thing that stands between him and the annihilation of the entire human race is the infamous vampire fighting Frog Brothers. Armed with double-barrel holy water balloon launchers and multi-arrow crossbows, Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) join forces to kick some blood-sucker butt in this latest high-energy, action packed adventure in the Lost Boys franchise.

so tune in  (and don’t forget to check out other episodes on Zombie Popcorn Radio )

or watch in 3D

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the movies you grew up watching and loved never became a movie – instead they were made into a sitcom?

I have.   Thankfully there are some people that share this same thought.

If Star Wars was created as the TV show ‘Dallas‘

or Magnum P.I.

What about Macgyver?

Or the A-Team

and of course, Airwolf

I am very excited to see the upcoming Korean film, ‘I Saw the Devil.  It is currently in Post-production and is said to be released early August.  The sad part about the release is that it is very unlikely that it will ever have an official release in the States – but I am keeping my fingers crossed.  

Here is what it is about…

“A hard-boiled thriller, I Saw The Devil stars Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) as a psychopathic serial killer up against Lee Byung-hun (G.I. Joe: The Resurrection Of The Cobra) as a special agent whose fiancée becomes one of his victims. Lee’s cool-headed and intelligent character in turn becomes a monster in order to avenge the killing.”

now here is the trailer…

I will keep you posted on release dates so stay tuned.

Back in April we told you about how Robert Rodriguez was working on a full featured film of the ‘fake’ trailer, Machete.  

Today, I am happy to let you know that the film will hit the streets on Sept. 3rd, 2010.

The cast is the same;

Danny Trejo , Steven Segal, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Robert DeNiro, Jeff Fahey and Michelle Rodriguez.

The story plot is the same;

The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!

The new trailer- kick ass!

Paul and I went to see The Last Airbender in *cough* 3D and I was very disappointed with this movie and any other movie that claims to be in 3D. 

If a movie is going to claim to be in 3D it must be shot in native 3D not this fake 2D/3D conversion crap.  The Last Airbender could have been in the top 5 3D films of 2010 IF it was a real 3D movie.  The images in this film were so flat and weak it was like watching a 2D film with 3D glasses on – totally pointless.

The Last Airbender had all the elements (no, pun intended) to make a perfect 3D movie. I would even go out on a limb to say that the Last Airbender would have given James Cameron’s Avatar a run for its money… that is if the Last Airbender was a real 3D movie.

DO NOT PAY MONEY TO SEE THIS FILM IN 3D!

If you are going to see this movie save your cash and see the 2D version of the movie or download it.  If you are a 3D movie fan – I recommend boycotting this movie and any other 2D/3D conversion movie.  The studios must learn that pawning off half assed fake 3D movies and charging more money for it will not fly. We, the ticket buyers, must send them a message that we don’t like being screwed.
The studios will kill modern 3D if they keep pumping out crap like the fake 3D Clash of the Titans and the Last Airbender but even worse is that they will turn off potential viewers/movie watchers.

When I was walking out of The Last Airbenders people were not talking about how great the effects were and how wonderful the story was – they only talked about how CRAPPY the 3D was.  I always thought that the goal of the studios was to get people to talk about how amazing the film was and to get people back in the theater seats to see the movie again.  With this fake 3D the studios have failed the viewers and themselves.

The studios know that they are pumping out fake 3D movies and they don’t seem to care, well, at least here in the States.  3DmovieMan pointed out to me that SKY (UK TV) will air 3D movies but only under strict rules.  They will not air a film if it is a 2D/3D conversion – meaning if the film has more more than 2- 5 percent conversion then they will not air it.  They understand that the conversion does not work and fans do NOT like it.

Something needs to be done soon before they kill 3D.

You have lost your way Hollywood and you will soon lose a lot of fans…

I will go into more details on this rant on Zombie Popcorn Radio July 10, 2010 – so tune in and share your voice

and in 3D

Created by 3Dmovieman

The film, ‘Fading of the Cries‘ seems like a cross between Harry Potter, Twilight, and Something Wicked this Way Comes.  I am very intrigued by this upcoming movie.  

Evil is resurrected in a small town threatening to destroy mankind and the only force that can stop it is a young man wielding a powerful sword.

Jacob (Jordan Matthews ), a young man armed with a deadly sword, saves Sarah (Hallee Hirsh ), a teenage girl, from Mathias (Brad Dourif ), a malevolent evil that has begun plaguing a small farmland town while in search of an ancient necklace that had belonged to Sarahs Uncle (Thomas Ian Nicholas ).

Jacob sets out to get Sarah home safely, running through streets, fields, churches and underground tunnels, while being pursued by hordes of demonic creatures. Along the way, both come to terms with the demons within themselves – Sarah begins to understand her hatred towards her mother (Elaine Hendrix ) and sister (Mackenzie Rosman ) may be unjustified and Jacob discovers the secrets of his past, realizing the only way to truly defeat the demons is to return to the very place his family was murdered.

• June 26, 2010 Zombie Popcorn’s Book of the week;

JAWS (Jason‘s Pick)

 Author Peter Benchley’s classic tale of a great white shark that terrorizes the small resort town of Amity Island is certainly one of the greatest horror novels–and movies–of all time. Any audio version of the novel certainly has large shoes to fill in terms of entertainment value for blood-thirsty listeners. Narrator Erik Steele delivers a solid performance that brings new layers to the familiar characters of Hooper and Brody. Steele’s delivery has the characters speaking in a natural yet subtly terrified tone that seems to grant listeners access to the tale in a new way. Ultimately, the story is still as thrilling as, ever even without the John Williams score, and Erik Steele’s performance heightens the tension, thereby increasing the payoff at the conclusion

It is time, come with us as we re-visit the waters after all these years…. don’t be afraid it is only JAWS

Every Saturday at 7-9pm Eastern on Zombie Popcorn Radio, we will announce a new book during the show. The audio books will offer a wide range of topics. Including, but not limited to, horror, art, music, and life. We also will take suggestions from you.

Zombie Popcorn Radio has a new home on Zombie Popcorn now.

Zombie Popcorn Radio started back in September 2009 and it was just Josh and me.  Since that time we have grown and now Paul has become apart of the show and has contributed his music by creating the Zombie Popcorn Radio intro.

We have met some wonderful people during the time of doing the show and a couple of the listeners have become staples of the show.  If you have ever listened to an episode or watched it in 3D, then you know 3DmovieMan and Jen. – If not, what are you waiting for?

We have also interviewed some amazing people on Zombie Popcorn Radio, including a long time 3D idol of mine, Mr. Tony Anthony.  Check out the list of people we interviewed in such a short time that we have been live on the ‘air’.

So it was time to make a bigger home for Zombie Popcorn Radio because we have no plans of stopping.  Check out the new look of Zombie Popcorn Radio and let me know what you think and don’t forget to tune in every Saturday Night at 7-9pm Eastern.

PS  – I am still working on the site and updating all of the episodes so the most current ones are currently not up – but this gives you a chance to listen to some of the very first episodes.  So enjoy

Remember the company PassmoreLab?  The company that converted Night of the Living Dead into 3D and projected onto a 25 foot Mausoleum wall.

PassmoreLab is at it again with a new conversion – This time Plan 9 from Outer Space.  Yes, the Ed Wood movie. 

“Plan 9 from Outer Space”, was written, produced, directed and edited by Wood, and was originally shot in black and white over 50 years ago. It was restored and colorized by Legend Films in 2006, and will now be converted, frame by frame into full 3D, using Passmorelab’s proprietary conversion technology. It is Legend Film’s colorized version that is being used for the conversion, which will take over 6 weeks to complete at a cost far greater than the film’s original $60,000 production budget.

The good news, if you are excited about this 3D conversion, is that Plan 9 from Outer Space will be out  this summer in select theaters and VOD.
