Seriously I love this movie. Steve Miner went hard with this grotesque horror/black comedy movie. Too many classic scenes in my book: the monster in the closet, the hot girl turning into fat ass monster lady, the bathroom window leading to a descent into darkness (which we used for the Dance or Die video and the list goes on. George Wendt is great as the funny annoying friendly neighbor too. Oh and Big Ben is ferocious, military zombie what! I remember House 2 being pretty insane too but haven't seen it in a while.
Phantasm is not only of my favorite movies, it also got one of my favorite movie themes ever. I post the Phantasm theme on here every now and then. There's a million versions too. This one includes the disco theme (starting at 3:16). We had vampire disco, zombie disco, here's tall man disco straight from the heart of darkness. Mwhahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.
Shocker is one nice little (slept one) Wes Craven joint, its well crafted tension creeps on you during the whole flick and it's got a couple of brutal scenes that should satisfy most fans with spooky needs. Sliced thumbs up! Another great thing about Shocker is that its main song is by the group The Dudes of Wrath. Easily a contender for best band name ever.
I'm sure The Dudes of Wrath love RBX. The Long Beach rapper can pull a mean monster voice and his extremely underrated debut album The RBX-Files is one eerie ride into Westcoast darkness. Greg "Gregski" Royal did an amazing work on production, AMAZING. I remember bumping it hard in my headphones in high school halls, feeling like I was on another planet. Sample and atmosphere on this one particular track is truly out of this world and 100% Halloween approved.
Return of the Living Dead has one of the slickest horror movie soundtracks ever. Lot of zombie disco, some eerie synth, some zombie surf, some zombie love songs, just a whole stack of great zombie music! The Trash's Theme is no exception to the rule.
The Carpman! John Carpenter is always well represented during Heathen Halloweek, his haunting synths and foggy moods never get old. There's something quite poetic about starting a post with end credits too.
Maybe if I post Ghostbusters joints every day, Ghostbusters in Hell will really happen. Or not. But the GB's piano bar style intro is really real. Elmer B never misses a beat.
I don't even know what Ghosthouse 3 is (that's house like the music, not busters like the fake gangsters). But I always listen to its soundtrack when I cook.
Texas Chainsaw radio, call up and request your head to be chopped in pieces. Whoever called for this song gets to party with Leatherface and the family, this is surfin' cowboy zombie 80s new wave disco rock. I'm amazed.
Rumor is Tom La Masse is gonna dress up as R Kelly for the big Geneva Halloween party (more on this soon). That's great but dude gonna have to put in work and do these ten things (must read). Good luck Big Tom!
Remembering the times, old school Mattfoley, Halloween 2008! I think that was his second video ever.
Bring out the pumpkin soup and them horror VHS tapes, after one year of diabolical plotting, it's back: HEATHEN HALLOWEEK, on and poppin' for 2009! It's alive!
There's no such thing as Halloween without vampire disco. The movie Fright Night is not only a perfect mix between vampire horror and 80s comedy with a good dose of teenage cool, it's also a movie with one hell of a soundtrack (during Halloween, all puns are intended).
Who else was traumatized when stumbling upon the French trailer of Dawn of the Dead on a rented Jean-Paul Belmondo video back then? René Chateau killed it with this and Massacre à la Tronconneuse. Man this went hard on a little kid. Great memories.
SoFresh Squad's new mixtape is finally out! Oh and track 1 samples Joe Esposito's "You're The Best Around" off Karate Kid. OK. It's got tons of original beats by Young Pulse too.
This pic is amazing, it looks like this litte dude is checking the post out like "oh look there's a Craiz freestyle, a Killa Daz video and a Sound Pellegrino track down there!"
The music behind the music! Since I often get emails about what was sampled for the videos and songs we put out recently, here's the full documentation like whoa, complete with movie clips, and links to the original songs. Oh yeah, it's all from movies.
Number One = music from the Real Genius soundtrack. Obviously it's "Number One" by Chaz Jankel.
Right Time For Love = music from the Revenge of the Nerds soundtrack. A song called, oh what a surprise, "Right Time For Love", by Jill Michaels and Pat Robinson.
Rosewood AND Taggart are back in Beverly Hills 4! HOT. Early news indicated that the dynamic duo wouldn't join Eddie Murphy for another Beverly Hills adventure, I'm certainly glad they will make it after all. They should have Paul Reiser in it too, whattup.
The Expendables: the muthafuckin trailer! No CGI action scenes, that's what I'm talking about. This is gonna be pure 80s macho action bonanza. Can't wait.

The sun is most definitely shining in Geneva, it's 11:41am on a glorious October Sunday and I'm still high from last night's entrecôte and fondant au chocolat. There's no turning back: it has to be a Hollywood Sunday!
One of the best things about movies is getting excited about movies that aren't out yet. Child dreams flirting with reality, sequels of fire, movie fantasies fullfilled, and unexpected memory lane gems turned news of the day. You know, all that good stuff.
Now that I think of it, it was kinda the same feeling with music back then...the excitement of new projects talked about in magazines and later on the internets...The "coming soon" boards in record stores, Dre talking about doing a Snoop-MC Ren-Kam-Dre album back in The Chronic days (seriously), the amazing release date lists from that website Da Krib (who remembers this?), the multiple delays of Wu-tang albums, or the E-A-Ski ads for his album Earthquake that appeared in The Source for about 12 months back to back and boasted that this record would be "a musical revolution" (the album never officially came out, but a bootleg hit the net and it's nothing special).
It was that feeling that something special was cooking and that your life would change the day it would be revealed to the world. Sometimes it even lived up to the hype: Doggystyle, T2, Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Gremlins 2 (one of my fave movies ever) and the list goes on.
To this day I still get a lot of that excitement from movies and tv series stuff. So here's a couple of updates on joints I really anticipate and make me feel like that little kid in Last Action Hero.
New Predator? Fuck yeah! Now obviously the whole Alien VS Predator thing was a total disaster, but with Robert Rodriguez behind this new one, I'm kinda seeing it go hard. The great news is that Shane muthafuckin Vendrell is gonna be smashing Predators all over the place, and if you don't know who Shane Vendrell is...you're in trouble. But yeah, that's the actor Walton Goggins and Shane is his character in The Shield (one of the best tv series ever?). There's a bunch of other cool people in there like Danny Trejo, Oleg Taktarov, and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali...and then there's a couple of WTF?s like Adrien Brody and Tropher Grace which I don't have anything against but...how are these dudes gonna be any match for Arnold, Carl "Action Jackson" Weathers, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, and that giant knife handlin' dude named Poncho? My suggestion is just wait for Arnold to leave the office and have him be the old experienced team captain. This would also leave the door open for a whole series of amazing oneliners. "Didn't I kill you in 87?"
(Btw, you know Arnold gonna make a cameo in the new Predator regardless.)
Speaking of Rodriguez, he's working on the coolest mind-shattering-cast movie this side ofThe Expendables. For real, Machete got Trejo, Steven Seagal, Robert de Niro, DON JOHNSON, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez?!? Damn.
Did I mention there's a Sly-Arnold-Willis scene in The Expendables?
So the Nightmare On Elm Street remake trailer is out and I love the fact that there's most def shout outs to the original joint (the bathtub) and Freddy's Revenge (the swimming pool) and I'm always down for some Krueger action...but what's up with Freddy looking like a cross between The Grinch and Rorschach?
One thing I can't wait for is the final LOST season and these cool as fuck art pieces from Damoncarltonandapolarbear.commettent bien la pression.

Ayo, I'm not sure whether or not I like Flashforward yet but AYO:
School wouldn't be school without teachers. Good thing here at Genevan High we only hire seductive teachers with a knack for going out to the same clubs as students. History class is in and your teacher this semester will be the one and onlyTim Wagner of 33Hz!
HISTORY CLASS with Mr. Wagner of 33Hz Lesson 2: Adidas is to Puma as Atreus is to Thyestes as Potsie is to Ralph
It's a story worthy of an Opera with all the trappings of a classic sitcom like Laverne And Shirley. Over 60 years ago, two rival sneaker giants were created due to a feud between two brothers. The feud split the town of Herzogenaurach in two. Two separate sides with their own separate banking, bakers, barbers, butchers and bars. Like the legendary white line put down the center of the room in many a 70s sitcom, delineating this side as mine and that side as yours. The now mighty corporate entities of Adidas and Puma each took half of the tiny medieval hamlet.
After fighting in WWI, Rudy Dassler returned to Germany and with his brother Adolf "Adi" Dassler set out to make what we now call a Sneaker (or Trainer); a Durable, lightweight, professional sports shoe. In their mother's house, they cranked out these hand-made sneakers, as many as 50 pairs a day, on a bicycle powered machine.
They had very different personalities that at one point complimented each other; one, a nose-to-the-grindstone almost scientific man (Adi) and one more jovial and personable salesman (Rudy).
As the Nazis gained power in Germany, the split between this two men would become more pronounced. Adi seemingly complying to the will of the nazis only for the survival of the company and the family while Rudy served the German army in the intelligence division.
In 1943, while Rudy was on a visit home. Allied bombers were sieging the small town. Adi and his wife climbed into a bomb shelter that Rudolf and his family were already in. "The dirty bastards are back again," Adolf said, apparently referring to the planes overhead. Rudolf was convinced that his brother meant him and his family. This was the begining of the end.
At the end of the war, the brothers could never have been more distant. When Rudy was arrested by the Allies, he felt Adi had something to do with turning him in. They never spoke again. Rudy set up Puma on one side of the river that flowed through the center of town and Adi Dassler made Adidas on his end of town.
"There was an Adidas butcher and a Puma butcher. If there was a chance to avoid being in the same class as another Adidas person, from the Puma perspective, then we certainly tried to avoid this. Certainly, the restaurants were split, so there was a typical Adidas hotel or Adidas restaurant and the other guys didn't want to go there." says Frank Dassler, grandson of Rudy and now an executive at Adidas. Needless to say, he is not very popular in his family.
Like the sibling rivalry of Atreus and Thyestes of the ancient myths crossed with the antics of Potsie Weber and Ralph Malph of Happy Days (where they literally divided their dorm by painting a white line through the room), the story of the Dassler family is a tragedy based in misunderstanding and paranoia, of thinking the worst of someone near and dear to you and leaving a legacy of pain and suspicion for generations to come.
Mostly, it's really a cool story to tell at a bar.
Kilroy of So Fresh Squad wakes up very early in the morning, goes to bed very late at night, records new songs every day, makes sure to stay in touch with his fans via Twitter, Facebook, Ustream and new websites we don't even know about yet, and of course still finds time for some good old birthday sex. Kilroy IS the grind!
And So Fresh Squad are putting out a new tape called So Net Tape 2 at the end of the week, it'll be available for download everywhere...happy birthday!
This popped out of nowhere yesterday. Actually it popped out of Japan since it's off the Japanese version of the Crookers album. Shout out to Shibuya 2002.
Here's a classic animutation by the guy who invented animuations (Neil Cicierega), those crazy flash animations with a bunch of insane unpredictable non-sense that makes sense, basically pop culture in the 2000s. Matthew Lesko Pokemon action to the fullest. Shout out to flying Mario heads. I could watch this all my life.
Of course it's a known fact that Japanese commercials with US stars (or French ones, Jean Reno I see you) are often awesome, but it gets really special (to me at least) when the star in question is none other than Charlie muthafuckin Sheen. Oh and it takes place at the barber shop, Charlie's hair being, obviously, the main attraction. Add Laura Branigan's Tokyo as the theme and you got the best movie I have seen this month. Charlie Sheen's hair makes me wanna cry of happiness.
October is purple, October is foggy, October is a half good half bad erotic dream/nightmare, October got the pretty leaves and the weird memories. Not sure what that means at all, but one thing is for real: October is the right time for...love!
It's not back to school anymore? School used to be mad depressing in October, so we killed it. Not to mention all I want right now is to switch to my favorite: Heathen Halloweek. Soon!
