Don’t Go In The Water! 1954’s Creature From The Black Lagoon features one of the most iconic monsters in all of film history. The film was released in 3D, a dying format at the time, but was viewed in 2D as well. The film and its two sequels are considered the final installments in Universal’sContinue reading “Days O’Horror #5: Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)”

Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)
Back To The Sand! 1932’s The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff as Imhotep/The Mummy, was an immensely popular film. It has remained popular over the years and has been rebooted twice by Universal with the successful Brendan Fraser film trilogy that started in 1999 and the less well-received Tom Cruise vehicle that flopped in 2017. WayContinue reading “Days O’Horror #4: The Mummy’s Hand (1940)”
Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)
Before The MCU While Marvel and Disney get all of the attention with their cinematic universe, the actual idea of a shared universe can be traced back to Universal’s classic monster films. Specifically, 1943’s Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man is considered by many to be the very first example of a cinematic universe film. ItContinue reading “Days O’Horror #3: Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man (1943)”
Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)
Keeping The Family Tradition Alive Dracula’s Daughter (1936) is a rather unique film. It doesn’t fit the mold of your standard vampire movie. Instead of a vampire intent on drinking the local citizenry dry, this film features a vampire that wants to break free of its curse (at least in the beginning of the film).Continue reading “Days O’Horror #2: Dracula’s Daughter (1936)”
Days O’Horror #1: The Invisible Man (1933)
Seeing the unseen for the first time! Being a huge Universal Monsters fanatic, it somewhat pains me to admit that until yesterday I had never viewed any of the films featuring The Invisible Man in their entirety. I have watched films influenced by these movies and read the book by H.G. Wells that started itContinue reading “Days O’Horror #1: The Invisible Man (1933)”

The Deep Blue Sea On The Red River
Shreveport, LA In my last post I talked about attending the KISS: End of the Road tour with my son in Bossier City, LA.

KISS: End of the Road Tour
Bossier City, LA, 9/7/2019 I’ve been a KISS fan for a very long time. I’ve been ridiculed, laughed at, and even accused of worshiping Satan because of my love for the band. Despite this fact, though, I’ve only recently been able to see them perform live. In total I have seen KISS perform live onContinue reading “KISS: End of the Road Tour”
Throwback Thursday: I Wanna Go Back…(1980’s)
The Brimstone’s Totally Rad 80’s Party I spent my childhood growing up under the influence of pop culture icons like Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox, Family Ties), ALF, and Macho Man Randy Savage.
