The Zombie Popcorn crew had a road trip yesterday.  Our orginial plans of being zombies in a zombie western movie were canceled due to the weather.  So we did what any normal person would do – We went to a muesum. A muesum of collections,  collections of one eyed pigs, two-headed pigs, a tumor that fills a 10-gallon aquarium, a dresses worn by a 700 pound woman and fleas that are dressed up.

This was not your ordinary road trip because we hit a detour on the way.  In short, the story involves inteviews with possible serial killers, old men,  along with stories of history, the civil war and two dudes riding around with the windows down listening to Enigma.

For the full story, tune into Zombie Popcorn Radio to hear the interviews and more about the trip.  In the meantime, check out the photos.

If you have followed Zombie Popcorn and Zombie Popcorn Radio for a while you know how important reaching out to others and building a community is to me.  In the relative short time that I have been running this site,  I have met so many wonderful people.  Out of every single person I have met over the years I know I could sit down and talk with them for hours about horror movies, games, music and pretty much everything under the sun.  I love  all the emails, comments, Facebook messages,  phone calls and voice mails I get on the Zombie Popcorn hotline.  Thank you! 

I was thinking the other day about what would be the most feared experience for most people. What would bring your everyday life to a place similar to hell?  Short of death, I think that the fear would be going to prison.  Having your complete freedom ripped away from you and living in a stale, cold and loud environment, not knowing if it is night, day, bright or rainy outside.  Along with living your life controlled at every moment you have to learn to live with the fear of  not knowing if some crazy person is going to kill or rape you at any moment  To top all that off, you have to sit there knowing you will be spending the rest of your life  there -behind bars.

Starting in March, I am expanding our community and reaching out to a section of the world that we don’t get to hear from much – prisoners.   Zombie Popcorn is opening its pages to the words of an individual who is sitting in prison.  We will get first hand experiences about life in prison.   They will talk about their likes, loves, dislikes and what is is like being in prison

Our first ‘Post from Prison‘ goes by the name, “Z0mbi3Kid“.  He would like to remain anonymous and he will post under that name.  This ensures that he can speak freely without the fear of being reprimanded.

You will be able respond to his writing in the comment section under each post.  I will then print out the post page and mail it to him for his response.

So if you have any questions or comments that you would like to have sent to Z0mbi3Kid,  please place them in the comment section below and he will respond to them in his first post in March.

So stay tuned and join us in the first ever – Zombie Popcorn’s ‘Post from Prison‘ Series

I want to take you on a trip. A trip back in history to a simple time and (re) introduce you to a film that holds the title as the second horror movie ever made, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) directed by Robert Wiene.  To learn more about this film we need to take a trip to Germany when German Expressionist films were reaching their peak in Berlin in the 1920s.

It is often believed that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was the first ever horror film, but the first horror film goes to a French horror film called The Devil’s Castle (Le Manoir Du Diable) made in 1896.  No matter what you believe to be the first horror film there is no doubt that The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a film that everyone should see and learn about its history.

The history of German Expressionist films is very fascinating about what directors did to produce such films on little to no budget by using set designs with wildly non-realistic, geometrically absurd sets, along with designs painted on walls and floors to represent lights, shadows, and objects.   When you watch The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari pay attention to the lighting and you will notice that most of the effects you see are not lights at all but just painted floors.  This type of artistic creation later went on to inspire the style and mood of the Universal monster movies of the 1930s.

Ever wanted to win a date with a serial killer? No, most people wouldn’t but that is what happen to Cheryl Bradshaw when she went on the popular 1970’s television game show, ‘The Dating Game’.

According to news reports,

L.A. Weekly has obtained footage of alleged serial killer Rodney Alcala as creepy Bachelor Number One on an episode of NBC’s The Dating Game in 1978 where, yes, he actually won. Authorities believe Alcala murdered seven women and girls, raped several others, and kept their earrings as trophies in a secret locker

Here is that footage.
