Any fans of Zombie Nightmare?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Nightmare

I don't think I've ever seen this, unless I saw it on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I just never noticed the title. It is one of Tia Carrere's first films, so, worth watching for the sake of completeness if you're a Tia fan. Also, Adam West was in it! That should be the reason I'm thinking of this movie, actually, but it's just a coincidence.

Anyway, I didn't notice this on the thread about everyone's Top 5 Zombie Movies... there are probably good reasons for that, ha ha. But, whatever, had to mention it.

TCM '74: A Slasher? To Be, or Not to Be.....

I say......"To Be!"

Kids split up and wander around, are killed with blunt objects and sharp thingies by a masked man, until only one final girl remains. The end.

Now, where's jriddle?

Challenge of the Apes - Discussion Thread

A few of the posters here have expressed some interest in this so I will go ahead and throw it out there. For the month of July we will have Challenge of the Apes!

War For the Planet of the Apes is set to open July 14th so I thought it would be fun to immerse myself and others in monkey madness. Here's how this challenge will work:

What counts?
Any movies or TV shows or shorts with an ape or monkey as the protagonist, antagonist or major supporting character. EDIT: By popular demand - any movie or TV show with apes or monkeys (or people in apes or monkeys suits) will count regardless of how major or minor that character is. EDIT: Documentaries will count too.

How do you get points?
It's time based - You get credit for the running time of whatever you watch. This means you can watch TV shows as well as shorts and movies.

For instance, if you watch the first POTA film with Chuck Heston it runs 112 minutes so that's worth 112 points. Then you watch the first episode of the POTA TV series which runs 50 minutes - that gives you 50 more points.

POTA (1968) - 112 points
POTA TV Series (1974) first episode - 50 points
Total so far: 162 points

Easy enough for a monkey to compete.

Can I get bonuses?
Sure. Since the Challenge was inspired by the release of the latest POTA film I've got several bonuses lined up for watching films/TV from that universe:

Watch the original five POTA films (POTA ('68), Beneath the POTA, Escape From the POTA, Conquest of the POTA, & Battle For the POTA) = 50 point bonus.
Watch the more recent extra crispy POTA films (Burton's POTA, Rise of the POTA, Dawn of the POTA & War For the POTA) = 50 bonus points.
Watch the 14 episodes of the POTA TV series from 1974 = 50 point bonus
Watch the 13 episodes of the animated Return to the POTA TV series = 50 point bonus

And because I have a soft spot in my heart for Kong - watch any five Kong films from this official list and get a 50 point bonus:
King Kong ('33), Son of Kong, KK Vs. Godzilla, KK Escapes, King Kong ('76), KK Lives, King Kong (2005), & Kong: Skull Island.

Reading Bonuses:
EDIT: Read any novel or collection of short stories or comics set in either the POTA or Kong Universe and get a 50 point bonus!

ie: read Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle = 50 points
read: King Kong by Edgar Wallace = 50 points
read: King Kong Vs. Tarzan by Will Murray = 50 points
read: Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes by Tim Seeley = 50 points
That's 200 bonus points to add to your movie/TV score.

FTVs worth anything?
Not this time. I feel like revisions are good for evolving so I encourage them as much as I do FTVs.

Do I have to watch monkey movies from the POTA and Kong universes?
Nope. As long as the protagonist, antagonist or major supporting characters are apes or monkeys it will count. Heck, even if it's just one scene with a couple of guys wearing ape suits it will count.

Does it have to be horror?
Nope. Any genre counts.

Does it have to be real apes?
WTF!!!! Real monkeys count too but so do stop-motion, men in suits, animated, cgi or Serkisized.

If there is enough interest I'll post the actual challenge thread next week. Challenge will run July 1 through July 31.

Anyone seen Mortuary (1983) ?

Convinced that her father's death was not accidental, a beautiful girl decides to investigate to find out the truth, aided by her boyfriend. Her sleuthing draws her to a local mortuary, where many secrets will be revealed.

Anyone seen it? Bill Paxton is in it. It sounds pretty good

Amazon Prime

Who here is a prime member? If so, how do you like it?

I've been a member for almost 3 years now and I love it. For $90 a year, you can't complain too much about getting free two day shipping on a lot of items. Also, they have some good movie and TV content that's Prime exclusive, especially the original Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack. Prime Day is July 11th, I just hope I don't forget about it like I did last year.

The Killing (2011)



Has anyone seen this ? I binged watched the first 3 episodes a while ago and from what i can tell it's a terrific show.

Carnage Park (2016)

Hey! Sorry, I haven't been here for a long time.. So, I've recenly seen Carnage Park (2016) and it's not that bad.

It's a indie crime/horror film about the sniper and the girl trying to escape, or kill him. I really liked it a lot! It has excellent editing, brilliant cinematography, nice story, good performances. The Last Exorcism's Ashley Bell is supposed to be annoying from it, but I actually think she gave a superb performance. While the first hour was entertaining, but I didn't really enjoy the last 25 minutes because mine scene was so darkly filmed and should have been shorter. But again, it has a fine story. If you are a fan of Tarantino/Rob Zombie films, then you will for sure enjoy it (well, maybe except the last 25 minutes). This movie don't deserves a low rating, I think it's actually such a fantastic film and totally underrated. Just entertaining and enjoyable movie!

8/10.

Anyone seen that TV Series A Haunting?

It is basically a paranormal anthology television series that depicts eyewitness accounts of possession, exorcism, and ghostly encounters. It features narrations, interviews, and re-enactments based on real accounts of paranormal experiences.

The show has been going for nearly ten years. An hour of television that never fails to entertain. Some episodes are fairly creepy.

Anyone seen A Haunting? Are you a fan?

anyone here on Twitter?

...just curious since I noticed Ebossert's tweet on the sidebar.
