The Curator of Schlock #61: Black Sabbath
The Curator of Schlock #61 by Jeff Shuster Black Sabbath (The band was named after the movie, smart guy.) I’ll admit it. I had a bit of an obsession with Boris Karloff growing up. Not so much for his portrayal of Frankenstein, but for the Universal Monsters classic The Mummy. Imhotep. That was his name… Continue reading

In Boozo Veritas # 63: Adventures in Halloweening Part 2
In Boozo Veritas #63 by Teege Braune Adventures in Halloweening Part 2 The Halloweens of my childhood were more magical than Christmas.

The Curator of Schlock #60: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales
The Curator of Schlock #60 by Jeff Shuster Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Twice-Told Tales (Like twice-baked potatoes, except totally different) I have a passing familiarity with Nathaniel Hawthorne, and by passing familiarity, I’m referring to time I read the first couple of chapters of The House of the Seven Gables in my 8th grade English class. I remember there was… Continue reading

In Boozo Veritas # 62: Adventures in Halloweening: Part 1
In Boozo Veritas # 62 by Teege Braune Adventures in Halloweening: Part 1 I walked with a zombie last night. -Roky Erickson I really don’t care to know that Samhain is pronounced Sow-in and not phonetically, and I have never thought of Halloween as a holiday that only takes place on October 31.

The Curator of Schlock #53: King Kong
The Curator of Schlock #53 by Jeff Shuster King Kong (Ape of the Week: King Kong) Don’t get too excited. This isn’t the 1933 King Kong, but the 1976 remake. Oh yes. Dino De Laurentis got his mitts on King Kong way before Peter Jackson. For some reason, I had been blissfully ignorant of this motion picture growing… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #45: Zombie
The Curator of Schlock #45 by Jeff Shuster Don’t go to Zombie Island! I guess it was only a matter of time before I got around to reviewing another zombie movie. What?

The Curator of Schlock #44 by Jeff Shuster The Funhouse (or, Don’t Go to the Carnival, Kids) 1981’s The Funhouse from director Tobe Hooper (of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame) has one of the most terrifying opening credit sequences I’ve ever seen in a movie.

The Curator of Schlock #16: Cannibal Apocalypse
The Curator of Schlock #16 by Jeffrey Shuster Cannibal Apocalypse, AKA Invasion of the Flesh Hunters I tried to think of a movie to review for Thanksgiving.
