Lexx - The Complete Third Series
(2003)
Lexx's third year had a predetermined 13 episode run, and in a new direction there's also a predetermined continual storyline. This is teasingly set-up by "Fire and Water"--the names of a binary planet system. The Lexx is stuck in orbit around 4,000 years after the "End of the Universe." We're introduced to the mysterious Prince (Nigel Bennet) who rules the planet Fire, 790 experiences a shift of devotion, and Xev gets a new hairdo. All threads are expanded by "May" (Anna Kathrin Bleuler) who's…
Gaslight Grotesque: Nightmare Tales of Sherlock Holmes
Gaslight Grotesque: Nightmare Tales of Sherlock Holmes Type of material: Trade Paperback Publisher: Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing Year: 2009 Author: J. R. Campbell and Charles Prepolec, eds. Price: $19.95 Review: This is a collection of Sherlockian tales in which, to quote Leslie S. Klinger's Forward, "...the pillar of Victorian reason and intellect, Sherlock Holmes, would be called upon to confront the forces of darkness in every form." Make no mistake. This is a collection…
Skin Eating Jungle Vampires
(2004)
There is a classic moment in playwright Sam Shepard's "True West" when a cheesy Hollywood producer says, "We're in business to make movies. American movies. Leave the 'films' to the French." That quite neatly sums up the philosophy behind Timothy Green Beckley's "Skin Eating Jungle Vampires"--no artistic pretensions allowed, just pure schlock entertainment. This low-budget horror flick was shot on videotape. There are only unknowns in the cast,…
The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires/The Seven Brothers meet Dracula
(1999)
An extravagant claim but one I'm gonna endeavor to back up. 'Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires' is the last horror picture Peter Cushing made for Hammer - and he's magnificent. He plays Van Helsing, (yes.. honest!)and to his eternal credit he looks believably close to tears every time he utters an emotionally-charged line like: "In Europe it is the crucifix, in Asia, the image of the Lord Buddha". I adore Peter Cushing anyway, and to see him in any film is good for me…

Masters of Horror, Suspense and the Supernatural: 100 Stories
Masters of horrorThis carefully researched anthology brings together some of the recognized masterpieces in the literature of horror and suspense from around the world. At the same time especial attention has been given to some rarities (like a macabre tale from Giacomo Casanova or a ghost story by Heinrich Heine, among others) and lesser known pieces that deserve a wider readership, including some especially translated for this edition (stories by the Uruguayan Horacio Quiroga, the Nicaraguan Ruben…
Invasion of the Blood Farmers
(2001)
What do you think of when you hear the words "bad movie"? For most members of the movie going public, bad cinema translates into big budget disasters like "Gigli" or "Batman and Robin." And if you listed these two films as miserable dreck barely worth mentioning without cringing, you would be correct. Big studio pictures that take a tumble are horrific to watch. But for a certain small segment of the public, these sorts of films really don't represent the worst…
The Boris Karloff Box: 15 Frightful Films
(2007)
In this creepy collection of 15 films, Boris Karloff’s cinematic talents are shown off to their best advantage with powerful performances that span more than five decades – from the silent cinema through the turbulent sixties. Some are outright horror films; others are detective yarns or melodramas; even a bizarre documentary on love practices around the world! Karloff was, of course, the definitive Frankenstein monster, but he was extremely versatile. Often disguising his cultured British…
Dark Craving
(2004)
Originally known as Heartstopper (a title meant to capitalize on the success of Hellraiser), Dark Craving was directed and written by John A. Russo, who also is (not so well) known for directing low-budget horrors like The Majorettes, Scream Queen Swimsuit Sensations, and Midnight 2: Sex, Death and Videotape. You'll probably be more impressed with Russo's screenwriting credits, which include the original Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead. As expected of a former George…
