I really like this poster for The Equalizer.

“Chamber of Horrors” with Fear Flasher & Horror Horn
I remember when I first saw Chamber of Horrors. It was on television. I was a kid, like most, who loved monster movies. The title was enough to suck me in.
“Chamber of Horrors.”
Yeaaah.
“A one-handed madman uses various detachable devices as murder weapons to gain revenge on those he believes have wronged him.”
Ok. Deal me in.
The movie began and we learned that the motion picture contained scenes so terrifying that there would be a “Fear Flasher” and a “Horror Horn” to warn the audience to look away.
Yikes.
The opening scene had Patrick O’Neal force a Reverend to marry him to a corpse! Wha — What?!?
Not long after, O’Neal chopped off his own hand to escape the law. He then returned with a detachable hook and other instruments of pain to exact revenge!
Although Chamber of Horrors sounds gruesome, keep in mind it was on regular tv. I loved it.
What kid wouldn’t?
I watched Chamber of Horrors years later and it was still fun… although not nearly as scary as I remembered it. I’ve embedded a taste below.
You know, I’ll bet if Chamber of Horrors was remade it would do good business… and be a lot gorier.
Jerry Gaylord Gets Carter or Barney Ross!
Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize returns with his take on Sly from Get Carter. Stallone purists may say, wait, he’s got the tats of Barney Ross. Ok, then for you folks, it’s Barney Ross!
Jerry is one of my favorite sketch artists. He always gives collectors more than they’re expecting and he is just plain good!
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is fast and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.
To check out more of Jerry’s art, head here. – Craig

“Monsters Dark Continent” – Now I’m Interested!
I saw the original Monsters [2010] and was disappointed. Perhaps that’s why Monsters Dark Continent wasn’t on my radar… until I saw the two trailers below.
From Wired: Frank Miller is Back (and Not Sorry)
I’ve been a Frank Miller fan since his days on Daredevil over 30 years ago. I followed Miller as he created Ronin, Dark Night Returns, Electra, Sin City and more. In recent years Miller’s output has been sporadic at best.
I was hopeful that with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For hitting cineplexes around the world that we might see more of Frank Miller’s Sin City yarns.
Since reading Sean Howe’s profile of Miller for Wired: After His Public Downfall, Frank Miller is Back (and Not Sorry), and seeing the accompanying photos [not the one above, it is probably five or six years old] of Frank Miller, I am still hopeful for more comic work from him, but even more importantly I hope that Frank Miller is physically okay.
The Princess Bride Recut as a Horror Movie!
It has been a while since we’ve had a mash-up here. So let’s go with a good one.
Here’s The Princess Bride recut as a horror movie!
“The Blob” was Based on a True Story!
The Blob starring Steven [Steven!] McQueen is another one of those 1950’s scifi/horror movies that doesn’t get enough props.
Maybe it would get more respect if folks knew The Blob was based on a true story!

I was 18 years old and on vacation in Tennessee. It was like a king had died.
“I Married a Monster From Outer Space”
I was recently thinking about the cult classic I Married a Monster From Outer Space and wondering why it seldom comes up when folks are talking about monster movies from the 50’s.
As a kid, I Married a Monster From Outer Space was one of my many favorites. It still holds up pretty well.
Maybe I Married a Monster From Outer Space just needs more people talking about it. So to that end… here’s the original trailer!

Frank Miller & Robert Rodriguez on Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
I thought that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For was better than the original Sin City movie, and I liked the original a lot. The fact that A Dame to Kill For isn’t tearing it up at the box office doesn’t surprise, but it sure disappoints me.
My hope is that overseas dollars and dvd purchases make it possible for more Sin City yarns from Miller and Rodriguez. Scott Huver at CBR. interviewed Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez and it’s obvious they feel the same,
