Let history record that just last month Sid Haig showed up for the Scares That Care charity event, flying cross country and taking care of his fans even when he was having trouble walking. He loved the horror family as much as horror loved him. @Shudder @kinky_horror

For 30 years drive-ins were torn down to make room for Walmarts. And then, like Kenny in South Park, the drive-ins rose from the dead on the same Walmart parking lots. You think I'm kidding, but THE DRIVE-IN WILL NEVER DIE.

Based on the revelations at @Cinestate and their failure to come clean about everything and make it right, I guess I have to resign from both @FANGORIA and @REBELLER. Sad on several levels, including the end of Fango's miracle comeback and the decline of a TX-based film company.

Just a heads up. Anyone offering MonsterVision "box sets," DVDs, etc., is a bootlegger, and your $50 to $80 is gonna get you an incredibly crappy image, even worse than what you can already find on YouTube. Just wait a few months and we'll have something official.

What I love about directors from the 70s and 80s is that they had no political ax to grind, no message, no social justification for horror. It was just "get a load of this great story." I don't wanna be told how to watch a movie. @Shudder.@kinky_horror.

Can we all agree that two people can watch the same movie and have diametrically opposed reactions and 1) it doesn't mean one person is stupid and the other person is smart, 2) nobody has to defend what they like or dislike, and 3) it's a movie, not a character test?

Shudder is dropping an original on the 14th that comes from either France or Belgium or Ireland--I couldn't tell--with actors I've never heard of, that can best be described as Wolf-Creature Stalker Torture Porn, with a feminist slant and a survivalist subplot. It's beautiful.
