AMC's Monsterfest celebrates 10th anniversary
My question to AMC is: how many times can a person watch The Fly in one week? Looking at your schedule, I see it's on at least three times. And it's not even the classic original, it's the 1986 remake (and it's sequel, The Fly II).
It's time for AMC's annual Monsterfest. This year (October 22-31) is the 10th Anniversary of the horror and monster marathon. There are certainly some great movies here, such as the Universal Dracula, Wolf Man, Mummy, and Frankenstein flicks, but even those can get a little boring when you're showing them 9000 times during the week. Do you not have enough great horror/monster movies in your library? Am I really going to have to sit through Gothika, Rodan, Island Of The Burning Doomed(!), and Pinata: Survival Island?
You're showing Them!, one of the great monster flicks of the 50s, but why are you showing it only once (October 24 at 7:30am) when you're showing Children of the Corn four times? Gah.
Elvira's Movie Macabre coming to DVD
It was just a matter of time before we saw this show on DVD. With the success of shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 on DVD, we knew that Elvira's show would make it to stores too.
Shout Factory will release 6 movies from Elvira's late night cult hit TV show Movie Macabre on September 19th. You can buy the movies in either single disc sets or double disc sets. Here's a list of the movies:
Doomsday Machine
Werewolf of Washington
Frankenstein's Castle Freaks
Count Dracula's Great Love
Legacy of Blood
Devil's Wedding Night
The single discs will be only $9.98, and the double discs only $14.98!
Who wants to be a mistress of the dark?
Elvira (aka Cassandra Peterson) is teaming up with
the producers of American Idol and The Weakest Link to create a reality show where they will find
someone to take over the role of Elvira on TV, in movies, and personal appearances.This could actually be great. Can you imagine the people showing up for auditions? People dressed like Elvira and Dracula and Frankenstein and superheroes and zombies. People who scare you, and you're not quite sure what they'll do. Actually, it sounds a lot like the American Idol auditions.
