  • Classic songs that you inexplicably hate

    I don't hang with someone who screams at his mentally disabled mother and has buddies who set off fireworks in residential neighborhoods. And they play "Rock You Like A Hurricane" at top volume while doing so; fuck that.

  • Donald Trump for President!

    There's an election result hanging in the balance? In this country? Could have fooled me. The locals in my area, with their red-blue-yellow covered BMWs, seem to be more fired up about what's going on in the Caucasus Mountains now. I have been bumping Baris Manco with the windows rolled down at intersections because I troll like that.

    The singer is Walter Hawkins. The record, which I found in the dollar bin years ago, has made its way on the private/outsider collectors' market since then. Beautiful tune.

    That Bonnie Dobson is really good. I remember that someone here (?) made an off comment back in the day saying, "BD is ill!". Then someone who I guess knew her on a personal basis said, "NO! She isn't!!! I saw her yesterday and she looked very healthy!". That was hilarious.
     
    Anyhow, here are my weekend finds...

    Society from 1989

    Reminds me of a high school buddy who was a big fan of "Re-Animator" and anything influenced by Lovecraft. He introduced me to "From Beyond" ('86) and "Dagon" ('01), both which were genuinely scary. I would recommend them based on the Yunza/Gordon connection if you liked "Society". 

    I don't know if you've seen it, but "Wishmaster" was one of the few decent, moderately budgeted 90s horror films which delivered the fright and the gore, but without the wink-and-nod camp (although Robert Englund, Kane Hodder and Tony Todd were purposely cast to play hapless victims). 

    I enjoy 70s Italian giallo. As a rule, if the cryptic title includes the name of an animal or insect, it's worth watching. That said, I never understood why people classify them as "horror", graphic violence aside. Most are whodunnit police procedurals at their core. "Horror" to me implies supernatural/demonic elements. 

    Speaking of which, I'll throw out "Xtro", "Dead And Buried" and "City Of The Living Dead". As far as Asian horror goes, "The Boxer's Omen" is a must-see with scenes which will stick with you.
