DVD stills of the week: Friday The 13th Part III in 3-D

Here are some 3-D screen caps from the Friday The 13th Part III in 3-D Deluxe Edition. If you have a pair of anaglyphic 3-D glasses handy (the red and blue ones)you can actually see this in 3-D!

My favorite movies from the real 'Masters Of Horror'

I get asked a lot- "What are your favorite movies from the 'Masters of Horror'? When I say 'Masters of Horror' I mean the true masters from the late 1970's and 1980's; George A. Romero, Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, John Carpenter and David Cronenberg. A lot of people may really get angry when I say this, but I truly feel (with an exception of Cronenberg) that all of these directors are well past their prime and really have not done anything worthwhile since the late 1980's (and with Craven the mid 1990's).

However, if I would have to pick two of my favorite movies from each of the aforementioned directors I'd pick these:



George A. Romero:
#1) Day Of The Dead (1985): I absolutely love this movie and think it's far superior to Dawn Of The Dead in may ways. The story not only has a very desperate, claustrophobic feel to it, but it's pretty much everyone's nightmare come true. Imagine being trapped underground with a bunch of evil fucks with machine guns and the alternative is combating the undead and probably being eaten alive. I also feel that this is Tom Savini's best movie special effects wise and has some of the best gore from the 1980's.

Very good Paul Kratka interview by Stone Cold Crazy blog!

Another great interview from the guy who did probably one of the two best Danny Steinmann interviews out there (the other is on DeadPit.com). I really enjoyed reading this interview, so enjoy!

JC: What other acting had you done before Friday the 13th Part III?

PK: Well, I had been studying privately in North Hollywood, studying acting and just scrambling around trying to get jobs. I was doing some on-camera spokesman work, some commercials, and had done a small part on General Hospital.

Horror movie review Thursday: Final Stab (2001)

"Angela's sister wants to make a revenge game up on her, inviting to mystery farm her old friends, to participate into a game with fake blood and knifes - but Angela and her disturbed boyfriend Charlie were not supposed to know about the fake part. But what starts as a little friendly game, get dark and bloody with real deaths - and sure, real blood and knifes."

The plot, in my opinion, was already done, but pretty unique. The plot alone kept me tuned in the entire movie-- it's an easy catch because we all want to know who did it! I am a sucker for movies like this good and bad, so it's really easy to be biased. It was released in Europe as Final Scream, so yeah-- name recognition before good content.

Funny Tom Morga clip.

This may be amusing for some of us A New Beginning fans, so I just wanted to share this. It's a cleverly done/edited little piece and again, Tom Morga really is not that great of an actor-- at least not back then.

DVD still of the week: Jason Takes Manhattan

So, back to this atrocity of a movie- one more screen capture from the cut footage of the film. Here's Timothy Burr Mirkovich (Young Jason) crawling out of Jason's mouth while he's drowning in sewage. Some people have wondered how Young Jason got into the sewer and how Jason transformed into Young Jason. Well, he did not transform- Young Jason crawled out of his mouth and Jason disintegrated-- sounds better, right?

Now I can see why they opted with the edit where it looks like that Jason turned into Young Jason over this abomination!

Friday The 13th 2010: My Wish List

So, with Friday The 13th 2009 being such a great success we are being (blessed) with another installment-- probably in 3-D and if the rumors are correct without Derek Mears. Although Brad Fuller has said Mears will indeed come back, you never know. A couple months back some rumors surfaced that the chode Tim Sylvia will be donning the mask for the sequel and I have to say that would be a fucking mistake. Not only does his body look out of shape and portly, but he just does not have the body of Jason Voorhees.

Another rumor floating around is that the opening sequence will take place in the Winter, which has been something a good amount of fans has wanted for some time now. I'm on the fence about it as long as it's done right, it may work. I mean, Camp Crystal Lake supposed to be in the Northeast USA, which is infamous for it's snow so it makes sense.

Behind the scenes photos of the week: Part III

indHere's a handful of behind the scenes photos from Friday The 13th Part III. Clockwise from the left: 1) Richard Brooker wearing the Part 3 stunt hock used for the axe chop to the head. 2) The slit throat gag from Lerry Zerner's (Shelly) death scene. 3) Richard Brooker (Jason) wearing Stan Winston's mask in between shots during Chili's poker death. 4) Director Steve Miner and (what seems to be writers Martin Kitrosser and Karen Kitrosser-Watson. 5) A shot from the long-lost alternate ending. 6) Special Effects master Douglas J. White applying make-up to Marilyn Poucher (Mrs. Voorhees).

Video Dead will premier on MGM HD in HD!

For fans of this little movie- such as myself- this should be a great treat for us! MGM HD is one of the more underrated HD channels out there (any channel who plays Motel Hell in HD is cool in my book!) and they will be showing The Video Dead starting November 1st at 11pm EST and will be playing throughout the month.

For those of you who have never seen this movie, it's about a zombie outbreak via an old possessed TV! It's got the same feel of other 80's obscure and marginally good gems such as Terrorvision, Night Of The Comet and Chopping Mall. To see what you are missing, here are some comparisons with the VHS and the new HD transfer below!

Be sure to visit The Video Dead on DVD Myspace to help get this thing released legitimately!
