If you want to see something that's not highly seen in movie rental stores, and something not to miss out on.
Today's movie is:Body Bags(1993) TV
PLOT:
Three short stories in the horror genre (anthology) The first “The Gas Station”, a young woman takes a night job working the register at a remote filling station. The second Hair”, Stacey Keach plays a balding man like only a balding man can play. And finally in “The Eye”, Mark Hamill (Star Wars) stars as a promising baseball player that suffers a terrible accident.
BASICS:
John Carpenter presents "Body Bags", in which it reads true as he plays a coroner late at night fooling around in a morgue, while spitting out macabre jokes and then introducing us to three buoyant little stories. This I have always found hilarious as sometimes the jokes go in the coroners office! – (*Wink-You didn’t hear that from me) This is great for kids, great for halloween and just plain fun for everyone. It really is a shame that this didn't launch a TV series, but hey, at least you can watch the film.
"Doctor: Mark Hamill just isn't the same after star Wars"
They range from horrific, humorous and simply bizarre with a "Tales from the Crypt" spin to them. In this low-budget TV production Carpenter would direct the first two; "The Gas Station" and "Hair", but the third story "The Eye" would be fronted by director Tobe Hopper. Carpenter and Hooper wouldn't be the only recognizable names, as the cast line-up is rather mouth-watering. You got Stacy Keach, David Warner, Mark Hamill, David Naughton, Robert Carradine, Deborah Harry, Twiggy, George Buck Flower, Charles Napier, John Agar, Roger Corman and a minor cameo from Tom Arnold. Also some horror participants have tiny parts; Sam Ramini, Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper and make-up/special effects maestro Gregory Nicotero.
"It's true- Corners can still have fun at work"
This film features many great horror directors that act and/or direct. John Carpenter director of Halloween (1978) plays "The Coroner" and introduces each segment as well as directs two of the stories, "The Gas Station" and "Hair", Tobe Hooper director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) plays "Morgue Worker # 2" and directs the last segment, "The Eye", Wes Craven director of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) plays "Pasty-Faced Man" at the gas station, and Sam Raimi director of The Evil Dead (1981) plays "Dead Bill".
The segments were initially designed to be Showtime’s answer to HBO’s excellent series, Tales from the Crypt. The idea was axed and the segments spliced together into a delightfully devilish movie.
In "The Gas Station", as Bill is watching TV, the anchorman mentions a body was found in Haddonfield, a reference to John Carpenter's earlier film, Halloween.
What makes Body Bags really work is the "fun" feel it has. This wasn't made to be a moneymaker. Rather, it was made for Carpenter and Hooper to have some fun with filmmaking - So go and see it
So far, there is 6,994 Attending. But that is Facebook so I doubt that many are actually going, but it looks like it will be huge. Hey, I'm all for it, I remember the last time I dressed as a life-like zombie it took 3 hours and a lot of imagination for a drunk event where I ended up bored and at KFC scaring the workers. Sadly I'll have to pass out on this event. Why?- Because the last pictures I saw were just a group of dorks walking the streets of Melbourne pushing baby strollers, carrying shopping, talking on the phone, drinking red bull. A Real zombie shuffle is supposed to be shuffle, not a walk. Why can't you act like a zombie for 5 minutes instead of an idiot with sticky red syrup plastered on your face and a ripped t-shirt from savers. If enough people can go that will take this seriously, (there is a reason for the no "dickhead" rule to be put twice), then yes I will go and have a blast. (Hey!- I am promoting this on here, not bashing it) Here is all the details from the Facebook page, and if it sounds great to you- Why not go? Round up your mates, and have a fun day out!
Time
Sunday, October 30 · 1:00pm - 4:30pm
Location
Melbourne (precise locations TBA)
Ready your finest gore, the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle 2011 is GO! Check back regularly for updated information, but for now, mark Sunday 30th October - aka Halloween Eve - in your zombie diary!
In the meantime, here are the rules that help make this a successful zombie walk.
The RULES:
1. NO DICKHEADS. We might all be undead, but we also pride ourselves on running an event that is enjoyable for all. Violence, destruction of property, and general toolishness will NOT be tolerated. If you are going to stage a 'zombie attack', make sure you've cleared it with your "victim" beforehand.
1.a. NO VIOLENCE/REALISTIC WEAPONS. Yes, this may seem like an odd request given the nature of the event, but keep realistic weapons, water pistols, water bombs etc to a minimum - in fact, we'd prefer it if you didn't bring them at all. The Melbourne Zombie Shuffle operates with the cooperation of Victoria Police, so we don't want that thrown into jeopardy by the actions of a few nongs who think they're in an Eli Roth film, thanks.
2. RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. Keep your blood and guts to yourself (or other consenting zombies). No splattering passersby, no glooping people's shops, shopfronts or stock, no scaring children, old people or animals (unless they are participating in the shuffle!). This is of utmost importance. Last year a small handful of participants very nearly spoiled the event for everyone by acting like aggro idiots and banging on windows of cafes. Anyone spotted doing this will be dispatched to the relevant authorities.
3. OBEY THE ROAD RULES. We don't want you to get killed again; keep the horde to the sidewalks, cross on the green man, don't block traffic, etc. If the Police or Zombie Wardens tell you to stop doing something, THEN STOP DOING IT.
4. HAVE FUN! This is the most important rule of all - get into it! Don't stand around worrying if your blood looks real enough, or feeling awkward - embrace your inner undead!
5. NO DICKHEADS. Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.
SYDNEY
29th October 15:30 to 17:00. there is an after-party after the "Zombie March".
Hyde Park.
Here's the website http://www.sydneyzombiewalk.com HOBART
They are held every July, in the middle of winter,
http://www.facebook.com/groups/297998165130
TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL is a hilariously gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies.
Why? Because Horror and comedy are always a good mix, if its done right. And hey, who don't like hicksploitation? This looks like its worth the watch. Aussie release: Sorry Australia, but just like "hobo with a Shotgun" we can only see this in film festivals and are very limited. Sydney has been sold out.
FINAL DESTINATION 5
The second of the “Final Destination” films to be shot in 3-D, Final Destination 5 is being directed by Steve Quale, marking his major feature film directorial debut. Why? It is shot in 3D, and even if you haven't seen the others, if you like gore, and the intense wait of the kill, then why not? It is also an all-star cast and will be the number one 3d horror for the year. Aussie Release: Aussies will have to wait till the end of August to the 2nd of September for its release.
THE WARD
In John Carpenter’s The Ward, Kristen, a beautiful but troubled young woman, finds herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of a Psychiatric Hospital. Why? It is John Carpenter, and probably the good kind of film tat you can have to chicks sleepovers. So long as its not one of those she is crazy the whole time, the whole thing is just a dream, she is the killer, or you are crazy and didn't see anything kind of film- it will be good. even if not good enough to pay the $25 to see in the cinemas, it will be worth hiring it at your local movie store.
APOLLO 18 December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. Why? Another First-person lost footage film. These are worth the watch for curiosity, and just shits and giggles if you find out that the film is really bad. Aussies will have a special one day only screening in December 1 2011, through Hoyts in one selected cinema if you miss out on the release for this year.
Undecided to get excited about
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D
The film is said to indeed be a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 original film which follows Heather, who along with her friends, travel to Texas in order to collect an inheritance. Why? I'm not sure what to expect. I loved the original, and yes after time even, part 2, & 3. I hate "Next Generation" because the acting was beyond terrible. The remake However "Texas chainsaw massacre (2003)" was good to see, I loved it in the cinema and thought it was original enough not to destroy the classic, However the "Texas chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)" was a total disaster, they not only bring shame to the original, but they just fucked up the last re-make and added so many back-stories that were not in continuity or made any sense. So what I am to think of this one? I really don't know. Its only 50/50, but of-course I cannot say anything until I have seen it with an open mind. I suppose the 3D thing is enough to see it, but that's another reason not to, because they know: If you make it 3D: they will come.
ATROCIOUS Why? Its another film in the style of "The Blair Witch Project", "Clover-field" etc. So that is a good point, I love those shaky camera, fist-person films even if they are shitty. I Didn't care much for "Paranormal Activity", but yeah, I will still go out to the cinemas and see every one made with an open mind- to me they make a good excuse to go to the cinemas and worth it for the curiosity. However this film being in another language and all might be all little hard to follow. It might get a little tedious to read the whole film, and keep your eye on everything that moves while having the ability not to get an eye-strain. This has a 50/50 chance of making it to every cinema in Australia, so it might be worth seeing, but I'm still undecided.
DONT BE AFFRAID OF THE DARK Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. Why? The story sounds so promising, but from the trailer it looks like another little girl vs. monster story with a twist in the end that is supposed to be too horrific Just like "Dark Water". of "The Grudge". We have all see this kind of thing before. And no-doubt will have the camera effects such as cgi faces jumping out in-front of you, or pitch back darkness with a light shinning on a face with a big boom noise. we should be used to these by now, but if the story is original enough, it might be worth the watch.
And of-course the films that I would
Rather poke my eyes out with a rusty fork Than See:
FRIGHT NIGHT
Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic. With Colin Farrell and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Why? Because the original should stay original, even if you didn't like it. There is no point in killing a classic for something this bad! How many blondes in shorts and boots will we see? I honestly doubt that they can get a vampire to look anything better than the original, Wait! Yeap, its a dorky dweeb that is so orgrishly ugly he could only drink the blood from ugly gay guys with no preference at all. -Vampisexual Anyone?
THE THING The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being.The thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name. Why? John Carpenter's "The Thing" is one of the BEST ever Re-makes. That's right, its a re-make of yet another original "The Thing from another world". I'm not against re-makes, But what is this? Another -"Last man on earth"/"Omega Man"/"I am Legend" type of thing happening again? How many times do you have to re-make a film? If you get it right- Don't ruin it by adding a shitty college cgi twist to it and making it a 2-star Hollywood flop. As far as I am concerned John Carpenter did one amazing job, and to me that will be "The Thing" to remember, buy in every format and pass down to generations. This really comes down to that saying: If It aint Broke:don't Fix it!
PIRANHA 3DD
The piranha’s this time make their way into swimming pools, pipes, plumping and such at a newly opened waterpark named “Wilderness Waters”! The race is on to save the town from these flesh-eating creatures that are leaving a bloodbath in their wake. Why? Because the first one was so bad, I won't even see it for the hell of it. The original film was not the best, the remake was just a disaster. Seriously..guys! If you want to see a sexy film but are too afraid to get a porno- grow some balls and see a fucking porno! At least you can see sex in it, and not just a shitty titty college committy piece of shit with no storyline and letting the 3D effects fuck you over because it wasn't shot in 3D. I can only wonder how many of these Piranha films they will make, then again how many drunk idiots, and Yahoo-ing teenage boys are there?- Yeah, we are in trouble.
SHARK NIGHT3D There is a killer shark in the lake. When attempts to skip town fail, one by one, these college kids — or the ones that are left — will have to battle their enemies head on in order to survive.
Why? Because first of all great white sharks cannot survive in a lake, even if there is a radiation leak. They then add another killer in the film because the shark isn't scary enough. "college titty committee" horrors do not make you feel sorry for people dying, have any character development or real story-lines. We have all had enough of "Jaws" knockoffs, and no more should be made, let along a piranha 3D knock off in 3D. Please! why can't they make a 3D film about college people getting laid: make it with lots of titties, not a lot of script and just forget the horror. That way you can separate the audience and make everyone happy.
If you want some lead in your diet, you have come to the right place. Lets take a look at one random band from one extensive collection. This week is : Exodus and to celebrate, here are two albums for your download pleasure. (Just make sure to always purchase music from the original artist).
Exodus - Pleasures of the Flesh (1987)
Exodus -Bonded by Blood (1985)

It's time for the Monthly look at one great Band. July is welcome to have on board:

To celebrate this random pic, we give you the Girlschool Collection. It is a two-part Download for a 2-CD compilation. Its great if you want to get into them, and know what they are all about, after-all they are the longest running female heavy Metal Band and even had three punk-tinged metal albums in the 80's.

One of the most sought-after horror soundtracks is now available with just one simple click! Yes, it's true the Aerobi-cide/killer Workout (1987) soundtrack can be yours. Now at this pint is where I usually tell you to support artists and buy original recordings. If you do however stumble across those - please let me know, I would love to make an offer:) These tracks are extremely rare, maybe even more-so than shadow, so for your listening pleasure , this week I give to you:
Killer Workout aka Aerobiside Soundtrack
Make sure you listen to them while working out, just try not to lose your head over them.. Grab it here: (http://www.mediafire.com/?58ozmx24636nt3h)
If you want to see something that's not highly seen in movie rental stores, and something not to miss out on.
Today's movie is:Killer Workout (1987) aka Aerobi-cide
PLOT:
Two years ago, a young woman named Valerie was burned after entering a tanning salon. Now, her twin sister, Rhonda runs a local gym where all of a sudden, people are being murdered.
BASICS:
To sum it up in a nutshell: An 80's Slasher in a Gym. But I couldn't tell you everything in just that little quote, maybe I could with: "See Baby, its like I'm beta and your VHS". Hey, if you love the 80's, typical slashers, or you just love girls working-out this jem is for you. Hell! its got something for everyone, It took me until the second viewing to love it, and when I got my hands on the soundtrack, I knew that this was a mix for pure Gold! Lucky for you, The Killer Workout/Aerobi-cide soundtrack is this weeks Download!
"The Aussie Pre-Cert VHS is an average of $90"
This film has been knocked off for its "death in a tanning bed" from films such as: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) and Final Destination 3 (2006). The dvd release is hard to get in stores and will never be brought out on Blu-ray. I'll be holding onto my Aussie pre-cert for a while considering it was so hard to find and really a small fortune to buy online, if you are going to but a dvd, just make sure its not a vhs rip. This really has the ability to make you wonder how many other films are like this and have disappeared in history. I guess you can only spend so many hours in you lifetime sorting through many lost vhs tapes from back-lot closed-down video stores across the country and sorting through the thousands.
"This film is very popular in France.. and most teenage boys minds"
The best part about this film is the soundtrack. Why could not this ever be released? It as if Miami Vice had a party at a gym and no! ex-lax, you weren't invited. If you love b-grade films with hot babes constantly wearing workout gear and montages of Jane Fonda moves-then this is for you. If you are a fan of classic cheese then this might just be what you are looking for
- So go and see it!
