The Second Five Of Ten Horror Movies To Enjoy This Halloween

An awesome holiday! One worth spending doing a movie marathon!

So we did the first five movies over at AwesomeBMovies.com, I hope that you will find something from that era that will work for you this Halloween... I mean there are a lot of great horror movies to have come out between the 1920s - 1960s!

Well now that we have done that run, it is time to show you some great horror films from the 1970s on up that could be great choices for this Halloween as well!

At number 1: Halloween (1978).  

Now this one is a little obvious, but the truth is, is John Carpenter's, 'Halloween' has in a lot of respects been one of the defining movies when it comes to horror movies to enjoy during Halloween, and is one that if you are looking for something to scare the hell out of you this Halloween, will do a great job!  

Number 2: Cannibal Holocaust (1980).

Cannibal Holocaust... This horror film from the 1980s is truly gruesomely fun, and could be said to be one of the more famous Cannibal movies of all time... If you do decide on this one though... Watch it with some one there... You won't regret it! 

Next up at number 3: Tales From The Crypt Presents: Demon Knight (1995).

Now this movie, (which was based on the classic horror anthology TV series/Comics, 'Tales From The Crypt Presents',) does have some fun thrills and chills, but what it looses in over the top chills, they make up in just having an absolutely bad-ass movie! 

And at number 4: 28 Days Later (2002).

This one is an awesome British Zombie movie, that is as much fun now as it was then... And I will say this, I suspect that the way this movie was filmed had some influence on at least how some of the earlier seasons of, 'The Walking Dead were filmed!' 

And finally at number 5 we have: Scream 4 (2011).

With this one, you might be asking yourself why I am doing a sequel movie instead of an original movie... Well the truth is, is the original for this movie would make for a great addition to this list, but I thought that I would mention, 'Scream 4', because let's be honest, this movie series was fantastic, and as long as the studio is smart and lets the movie series die, then it will have gone out with a bang! 

Please note that this list is not from best to worst, these are just some great horror films from the 1970s on up to the 2010s that we thought that you would enjoy! For the first five, check out the list I did over at AwesomeBMovies.com!

Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988) - Movie Review

The changing of the guard?

Good news folks! Halloween is just around the corner... Are you excited? I know I am, and one of the things that I look forward to doing every year (at least till they run out,) is doing a review for one of the, 'Halloween' movies!

I mean let's be honest folks, these movies really do symbolize the haunting awesomeness that makes doing a horror movie marathon so awesome!

Wit that said, the next movie that I am doing in this lot is: Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!

A killer movie, that ushered in one of the great scream queens!

Directed by: Dwight H. Little (Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid), and starring: Danielle Harris (Halloween), Ellie Cornell (House Of The Dead), Donald Pleasence (Halloween 2), George P. Wilbur (Die Hard), Beau Starr (Goodfellas), Kathleen Kinmont (Bride Of Re-Animator) & Sasha Jenson (Buffy The Vampire Slayer).

Now before I continue on with the story, I should say this, when John Carpenter tried to take the Halloween series back to where he had originally wanted it to be (basically as an anthology series of movies with different stories,) and made Halloween 3: Season Of The Witches (1982) as it's own independent movie completely separate from the original story line... Well that concept pretty much didn't work, and so the studios brought us back to, 'Haddonfield', with Halloween: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!

"Why now? You waited ten years. I knew this day would come. Don't go to Haddonfield, If you want another victim, take me. But leave those people in peace. Please, Michael?" - Dr. Sam Loomis to Michael Myers (a quote from Donald Pleasence in, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers (1988)!)

It looks like is niece is not to happy to see her uncle!

As for the story, this movie takes place about ten years after that fateful Halloween night of 1978... Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur) is in a coma, the scarred Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) has never really gotten over it, and Laurie Strode is dead... And the rest of the town has begun to forget about it... Including Laurie's daughter, 'Jamie Lloyd' (Daniel Harris), who seems to know nothing about it!

All seems to be quiet, eh?

Well when a team is sent in to bring the slumbering giant mass murderer, he learns something new about the family he likes to visit on Halloween... And that is that he has a niece living in his home town!

This of course wakes ole Mickey up, and takes out his jailers, and heads home to, 'meet' his young niece...

And as for the new family that Jamie is living with... Well they are about to discover the deadly secret of her family when they meet her uncle, and he tries to take them all out!

Jamie's new family after meeting Jamie's old family!

In the end, this movie I am gonna say is not quiet as good as the classic movie that John Carpenter (Halloween) made, but considering how young Danielle Harris was in this movie, she did an absolutely brilliant job portraying Jamie, and Ellie Cornell... Lets just put it this way, after seeing this movie and the element of scary realism that those two put in to this film... Well... Danielle Harris became my favorite actress after this, and when ever I get the chance, I do try to find any Ellie Cornell movie that I can, because she is just fantastic!

Two great actresses, that really brought this series 

And as for everyone else... Well lets just put it this way, they did a brilliant job!

And the story... Awesome! The only things I didn't like about this movie are as follows:

1. There are a ton of retconned story lines in this franchise, and when I found out that Laurie Strode was still alive, and faked her death so that she could go and live in California... Well let's just put it this way, it kind of destroyed a little bit of both story lines for the Jamie Lloyd Halloween films, and original series as well...

2. The last thing that I am I going to have to say that I really didn't like about this movie is the mask... I know it is a dumb thing, but this one in my opinion is the worst of the entire batch of movies!

Anyway, if you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out... It is a good, one and well worth it! I thought so, and I suspect you will to!

Scout Taylor-Compton & Rooney Mara: Two Great Scream Queens That Admirably Filled Some Big Shoes!

Jamie Lee Curtis & Heather Langenkamp are tough acts to follow, but Scout Taylor Compton & Rooney Mara definitely did a great job filling those shoes they left behind! 

For those of you who haven't seen the movies for which I am talking about, I am talking about the remakes to, Halloween (1978) and, A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)... And for those of you who have seen these movies... As for Rooney Mara and her role in, A Nightmare On Elm Street... I will get in to that in a minute... 

Now before I go on, let me say this, Jamie Lee Curtis (The Fog) & Heather Langenkamp (Shocker) are two actresses that did totally amazing jobs in the roles that they played... I mean Heather Langenkamp's girl next door who ends having to fight against an entity that only appears to exist in dreams... And Jamie Lee Curtis's role from regular high school student to having to fight against a brutal and sadistic killer who has targeted her and is killing off her friends is sheer brilliance, (Jamie Lee Curtis played, 'Laurie Strode' in the original, 'Halloween' and Heather Langenkamp played, 'Nancy Thompson' in the original, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'...)

Jamie Lee Curtis as, 'Laurie Strode' in one of the most famous scene in horror movie history! 

 With that said though, I will say this, Scout Taylor-Compton (who plays, 'Laurie Strode' in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake series,) delivered a truly inspiring job taking over the role... 

Now Taylor-Compton's, 'Laurie Strode' is different from Jamie Lee Curtis's, 'Laurie Strode' in a lot of ways (a great example is, Scout Taylor-Compton's more, 'sarcastic' Laurie Strode as opposed to Jamie Lee Curtis's more, 'girl next door' type of Laurie Strode... Both are good,  but one of the reasons that Scout Taylor-Compton's Laurie Strode is so good is the differences between the two...) 

She may not be, 'The Girl Next Door', but this Laurie Strode definitely has some chops!

Another reason why she did so good taking over the role, is the fact that she really made the role her own, and her progression from sarcastic teenage girl, to traumatized teen (as seen in part 2), is just sheer brilliance... And a little scary, due to the fact that you could almost see that as how she would descend in to total madness if Ms. Taylor-Compton was really going through it! 

And now on to Rooney Mara... Before I continue... A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) was not a great movie... But Rooney Mara for me was one of those few shining lights in the movie that really helped make sure that the movie did not totally suck! 

And what I mean by this is the fact that Rooney Mara (who took over the role of: 'Nancy' from Heather Langenkamp,) really did this role justice, by really only emulating Ms. Langenkamp's strength that she gave, 'Nancy' in the original movie... 

Rooney Mara in a modern version of one of the most famous scenes in, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'! 

Other then that... She really made the role her own, and really just brought this character to life in a new and different, and exciting way! 

For more information on these movies and the differences between the original actresses, and the people that filled in the roles that the original actresses made legendary, and did a pretty damn good job doing so... Please see these trailers for: Halloween (1978) & A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984), as well as: Halloween (2007)  & A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)!

Friday The 13th Maybe Delayed But At least There Will Be One

It looks like Friday The 13th maybe delayed a bit... But at least we'll get a chance to see him hack up a whole new set of campers!

That'r right folks, as it turns out, according to: Bloody-Disgusting, that the producers over at Platinum Dunes, 'Brad Fuller' & 'Andrew Form' may have pushed the due date for the movie up again from it's planned November release date to May 13th 2016... Is that a bad thing? I mean how cool is it that we are getting the 13th movie in the franchise on Friday the 13th?

Now this movie maybe running through some troubles, but be patient fright fans, because lets be honest... In the world of the master horror icons, lets recap recent times... We got the barely seen, (Doug Bradley-less), Hellraiser: Revelations (2011), A Child's Play movie that seems to have had almost no promotion upon release... Michael Myers... He seems to have been out of the lime light for a little over half a decade... And after the bust of, A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)... It looks like the next Friday The 13th is going to be a little delayed... But Jason is coming in to save the day!

Here is a couple of trailers to wet your whistle with while you wait!

Getting To See A Classic Horror Movie With Fresh Eyes

By the way... If you thought that I meant, 'fresh eyes' in the literally sense... Well you are kind of right... Just not in the disgusting way!

No... What I mean is this... One of the things that I really like to do, and is sort of a tradition that I have had since I was a teenager is to get a whole bunch of really great junk food and then watch a whole bunch of great horror films... And you know what, if you haven't tried it yet... If you like horror movies, I would recommend giving it a try... It is freaking awesome!

Watching horror movies on Halloween can be a real killer experience!

This Halloween though was one with a little bit of a twist! You see, my wife and I got to enjoy my Halloween tradition together this year... But in years previous we have ended up watching other genres of films... Fun, but it really needs to be with horror movies... you know?

Well this year when we were arranging it, my wife was all in for watching some fun horror  movies... And you know what? It was a total blast!

Now you might be wondering why I am sharing this little bit of personal information... Well the reason being is that we got to watch some awesome classics that I hadn't seen in years!

You see, for me, because I review movies all the time, and there are so many out there to review, I generally don't get much of an opportunity to re-watch classics that I have loved for quite a few years, and when I got to watch, Halloween (1978) and, The Omen (1976)... I got to say, it brought me back to the days of when I first watched both of these movies for the first time... Boy was it awesome!

Watching these movies for the first time in years was a total blast! 

And the reason that I mention all of this to you horror fans, is because where as it is true that even today that there is a lot of amazing horror movies that are coming out... I have noticed a trend with a lot of the younger generation of well (not just horror movie fans, but movie fans in general,) that they generally seem to tend to ignore the classics and stick exclusively to the newer films!

And well, I will say that  there are  some great reasons for going with newer movies, don't forget to check out the classics, they can scare the hell out of you just as well as the new ones, and in my opinion are just as good, and in most cases better then the newer movies out there!

So did I check out some classics with fresh eyes? Sure... For the newer generation, give it a try... I think you will find there is some truly amazing horror movies out there that have come out in the last hundred years that are just as good, if not better then some of  the horror movies that have come in the last 14 years!

Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982) - Movie Review

Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils

You know I will be honest and say that, Halloween (1978) is my favorite movie of all time, I mean this movie is just fun, it has everything that a classic slasher movie has in it! Great victims, a heroin that you really rooted for in the end, and a great villain, (Michael Myers,) that just makes that movie series just a truly awesome and memorable one!

Now since I have been reviewing movies on Hellinspace.com one of the things that I thought that I would do is to review one of the Halloween movies every year around Halloween, and over the last couple of years I have done, Halloween, and, Halloween 2 (1981), and now I thought that I would do Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch (1982)!

An unfortunately misunderstood movie!

I will be honest with you guys here, and say that this movie may not be the best movie of the series, and for obvious reasons (primarily the fact that it is the only Halloween movie that doesn't have Michael Myers in it,) and where as I think the idea behind taking Michael Myers and making the series an anthology series that have a different story each time would have been inspired had fans not grown to love having Michel there, but never the less, I didn't think this movie was as bad as every one is making it out to be!

I mean it had a great cast that included: Tom Atkins (The Fog), Stacey Nelkin (Going Ape), Dan O'Herlihy (RoboCop), Nancy Loomis (Assault On Precint 13) and that is just to name a few!

Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) & Ellie Grimbridge (Stacey Nelkin) as they check out the deadly masks!

This movie also brought John Carpenter (The Ward) & Tommy Lee Wallace (Fright Night Part 2) back to the world of, 'Halloween'!

And the story... I have to admit that the story of how a crazed Toymaker/Halloween mask maker uses Stonehenge, and Halloween to play the cruelest trick of them all on the rest of the world... (Killing off the worlds children on Halloween through the masks they wear,) and the fact that a Doctor and the daughter of one of the Mask Maker's distributors are the only ones that can stop them was truly inventive!

Stay tuned to that dial kiddies... For your final message from, 'Silver Shammrock'!

I mean my main problems were 2 fold, 1: I thought the Androids were a little odd, and 2: I thought about midway in to the movie it seemed liked Mr. Wallace was adding filler to get to the good stuff...

Other then that though, this movie is worth checking out at least once... Trust me, if you are a fan of the series... Well it may not be imperative... But then again... If your like me and have to see all of them, good or bad... Then you might check this one out as well!

Five Kick Ass Final Girls Of The 1970s

So far so good, in this series I have outlined the women of horror, that have kicked some major big bad evil killer butt from the 1980s to the 2000's and since it has been a while i thought that it might be kind of fun to do the 1970s!

Now the truth is, is over the decades there have been a ton of amazingly talented women that have taken on some of horror movies worse villains, and so it was hard to cull it down to 5, but here is what I believe them to be:

At number 5: Kyle Richards (Eaten Alive).

Kyle Richards as seen in, 'Halloween' (1978). 

Kyle Richards... Now you might not think it... I mean last I heard, Kyle Richards has mostly been doing reality tv these days, but when she was a kid, she did a lot of horror movies, and in each one... (At least the ones that I have seen,) she has last to the end of each one of them... And thus I think she definitely deserves a place!

For more information on Kyle Richards, please check out these scene from: Eaten Alive (1977):

At number 4: Linda Bliar (The Exorcist).

Linda Blair in, 'The Exorcist' (1973)!

Now let's be honest here, The Exorcist is one of the most famous horror movies of all time, and with Linda Blair having starred in the first two, she definitely deserves her place in this listing of 5 kick ass final girls of the 1970s!

For more information on her work, please check out these trailers for: The Exorcist (1973) & Exorcist 2: The Heretic (1977):

With number 3 we have: Marilyn Burns (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre).

Marilyn Burns as, 'Sally Hardesty' in one of the most famous scenes in horror movie history in, 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'!

Marilyn Burns... Now I am sad to say that this amazing talent, who really did a majorly awesome job of being a final girl in the 7os, as well as having maintained a role in horror movies ever since, has past away earlier this year, but if you haven't seen her work, you should, she totally rocks in just about everything she did!

For more information on Marilyn Burns, please check out this trailer for: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974):

Next up on the block, at number 2: Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusters).

Sigourney Weaver in, 'Alien' (1979)!

Sigourney Weaver, her role in the Alien movie series has been truly prolific, and after having been in 2 prolific Science Fiction series (the Alien movie series, and the Ghostbuster movie series,) she is definitely one that is worth mentioning for her role in helping bring the Alien movie series to the world in 1979!

For more information on Sigourney Weaver, please enjoy this trailer for: Alien (1979):

And finally, at number 1: Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween).

Jamie Lee Curtis as: 'Laurie Strode' in, 'Halloween' (1978)! 

For Jamie Lee Curtis, I am mentioning her here, because besides the fact that she helped create a series that to the day is still beloved by fans all over the world, her work in the horror movie world in both the 70s and 80s was truly remarkable!

For more information on Jamie Lee Curtis, please enjoy this trailer for: Halloween (1978):

The truth is, is there are a ton more, but I would personally say that these girls truly kicked some bad boy butt (or some monster butt)!

Five Of The Most Recognized Intro Songs In Horror or Sci-fi Movie AndTV History

One of the things about movies and TV history is the fact that their soundtracks can almost become just as important (or in some cases more so,) then the movie or TV shows themselves!

With that in mind, and with the fact that I am a huge fan of all 3 mediums, I thought that you guys would enjoy these: Five Of The Most Recognized Intro Songs In Movie And TV History!

At number 5: The theme song to the TV show: 'Angel':

The cast of season 1... By the end of the series, most of them may have been gone, but none of them will ever be forgotten!

Now this one maybe the lesser of the lot, but for a time, even people who had never seen this show recognized this song, and thus I am going to have to give it to this one... And even with the show having been off for nearly a decade... Well it is still pretty easily recognized by fans of the show.

For more information on this song, please enjoy!

At number 4: The theme song to, 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer':

The opening theme for, 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', another great song, from a classic Horror TV series!

The truth is, is that at this point it is probably pretty safe to say that this song may not be heavily recognized by the younger generation (I mean this show has been off the air for quite a few years now,) but in the late 90s, and really up till this show went off the air, this song was one of the more recognizable songs on TV!

For more information on this song, please enjoy!

At number 3: The theme song to, 'Halloween':

Besides being legend in horror movies, John Carpenter is also an accomplished musician who had scored the theme for, 'Halloween' (1978)!

Now I will be absolutely honest with you guys and say that this song is probably more for the Horror fans out there, but the truth is, (and I know this to be true, because I have known people who can't stand horror that have recognized this song,) but I am going to say that as far the world of horror goes, that this is probably one of the more famous songs in horror movie history!

For more information on this song, please enjoy!

At number 2: The theme song to, 'Star Wars':

The song that John Williams did for Star Wars... Well this song is probably one of the most famous songs in motion picture history!

Let's be honest... It is Star Wars... This song is one of the most famous songs in cinematic history to one of the most famous movies in cinematic history!

For more information on this song, please enjoy!

At number 1: The theme songs to, 'Star Trek':

The cast of the original series... They started a phenomena in TV & Movies as well as Music that will never be forgotten!

Alright, this one may seem a little obvious... Well some times the obvious choice is the best, and I am including all of the songs, because in all honestly, all of these songs, created the musical theme to the most famous entertainment franchise in American history!

Top 5 Final Girls Of The New Millennium

So far in this series we have covered both the 80s and the 90s, so I thought it time that we head in to the new millennium with the, 'Top 5 Final Girls Of The New Millennium'!

At number #5 we have: Ali Larter (Final Destination).

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="478"] Ali Larter on the plane to hell in, 'Final Destination' (2000)![/caption]

At number #4: Mila Jovovich (Resident Evil).

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="568"] Milla Jovovich as she is learning the truth about her future in, 'Resident Evil' (2002)![/caption]

At number #3: Danielle Panabaker (Friday The 13th).

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="454"] Danielle Panabaker is going through hell as she tries to escape Jason Voorhees in the Friday The 13th remake![/caption]

At number #2: Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning).

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="438"] Jordana Brewster has survived an Alien invasion in... Now she has to survive, 'Leatherface' in, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; The Beginning' (2006)[/caption]

At number #1: Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween).

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="462"] Scout Taylor-Compton may have been chased up and down Haddonfield by her brother, 'Michael Myers'... But she has made it tot he number 1 in this list![/caption]

Please Bring Halloween Back

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Michael Myers sad to see the way his franchise has been being treated since Halloween 2 (2009)![/caption]

There is a great crime that is being perpetrated against horror movie fans all over the world! Not a literal crime, but one that never the less has had some negative impact... That is the crime of making crummy remakes of some of the most historically relevant and prolific horror movies of all time, and then making it seem as though, those series have a very unfortunate end!

Two great examples of this are the movies, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' &, 'Friday The 13th'... Both had recently been remade, (A Nightmare On Elm Street in 2010, and Friday The 13th in 2009... And up until recently it was looking like those series were going to die in a way that is almost sacrilgeous... (After a crappy movie...))

Fortunately there has been rumors circulating around the internet that both movies were going to have their remake sequels (and chances at either redemption, or a proper end... An end with a bang, instead of a whimper!)

And now it looks like the morons in the studios are doing the same thing with the next, 'Halloween' sequel...

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="477"] He may be down for the count right now, but Michael Myers hasn't taken a beating yet, that stopped him from terrorizing his home town on Halloween![/caption]

I will admit that it probably was a major blow that Rob Zombie (Halloween) was not coming back to the remake series that he had helped bring in to the world... But the truth is, is that Halloween... (I would almost say more so then, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street', and, 'Friday The 13th'... If anything, just because Halloween has been around longer then these two, and was part of the inspiration for, 'Friday The 13th) is one series that should be adequately maintained, with a new movie coming out!

I will tell you why... Primarily it is because of the fans... I mean since the start of the new millennium, studios have been coming out with these remakes for these classic horror movies that started some of the most historically most important/prolific horror movies of all time, and the doing nothing to make up the damage...

As a fan of all of these series I will be honest and say that I am one of them (especially with Halloween), and I will be honest and say that in a studio system that has just about openly admitted at this point that it cares more about its revenue streams, then entertaining audiences, that it seems odd that they wouldn't try to keep these series that have proven to be box office successes alive (or at the least give them an end with some dignity...)

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Either let Michael come back to life, or let him Rest in peace...[/caption]

In the end all I am saying is, don't turn Halloween in to the next fiasco that trying to make sequels to the remakes, 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' &, 'Friday The 13th' have been... Because there are still a ton of us that would love to see what is up next with Michael Myers!

Monsters Of Metal: Rob Zombie

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="498"] Rob Zombie... A true, 'Monster Of Metal'![/caption]

Most people these days I am sure probably recognize Rob Zombie for his amazing contribution to the horror movie, genre but for me you are going to have to go back to the late 90s, when Rob Zombie (Halloween) was still a member of the classic heavy metal band, 'White Zombie'...

But even before this, this power house Musician/Filmmaker/Writer of essentially the, 'horror genre' and it's equivalents became the man he would become, in some respects almost as a young man we would see the hell hound he would become... You see Rob Zombie (who was born, 'Robert Bartleh Cummings') was born to parents who worked in the Circus when Rob Zombie and his brother, 'Michael'... (Also known as, 'lead singer of Powerman 5000', 'Spider One',) were young Rob Zombie seemed to have developed an interest in the macabre with his favorite movie genre being, 'Horror'... (I would say that with his parent's work in the Circus and his being a fan of Horror movies, I suspect this was the inspiration for, 'Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) from, House Of 1,000 Corpses (2003)!)

After his parents left the Circus and after Zombie graduated from High School, Zombie met ex-girl friend and former bassist/co-founder of, 'White Zombie', 'Sean Yseault' and would eventually move in with her.

During this time in the 1980s, Yseault and Zombie would go on to co-found the band that would later be known as, 'White Zombie'... Well believe it or not success didn't initially come easy to this soon to be legendary, 'Monster Of Metal'... You see during the early days of Zombie's and Yseault's collaboration together, the band would release 3 EP albums which really kind of failed to gain the notoriety during that time...

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Sean Yseault (Center) and Rob Zombie (Right) with the rest of their band mates that would eventually comprise, 'White Zombie'.[/caption]

It wasn't until their 4th studio album, 'Gods Of Thunder' when things started to get interesting for the fledgling group... You see Michael Alago (A rep for, 'Geffen Records', the label that would eventually be the label that Zombie and his crew would sign up with,) listened to this album and ended up showing enough interest in the band to ask that they make a demo, (which they did with the help of J.G. Thirlwell, who produced the demo for the group), and would eventually be signed on to Geffen!

And White Zombie would be born!

During their time together, White Zombie would go on to release 4 studio albums, including: Soul-Crusher (in 1987), Make Them Die Slowly (In 1989), La Sexocristo: Devil Music, Vol 1 (In 1992) & Astro-Creep 2000: Songs Of Love, Destruction And Other Synthetic Delusions Of The Electric Head (In 1995). They would also produce 1 remix album 6 EPs, 3 compilation albums, several singles and work that the group did on such classic movies as, The Crow (1994) & even, Escape From L.A. (1996) to name a few!

But like all good things, Rob Zombie and Sean Yseaut broke up, and in 1998 the band would disband as well... But that wouldn't stop this true Monster Of Metal!

No you see, Rob Zombie would go on to almost catapult himself further then he could have ever gone working with, 'White Zombie'...

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Rob Zombie, live in concert during his solo career![/caption]

What I mean is that Rob Zombie picked up his career not long after the band disbanded and on August 25th, 1998 Rob Zombie would release his first solo album called, 'Hellbilly Deluxe: 13 Tales OF Cadaverous Cavorting Inside The Spookshow International', which ended up being so successful that it had actually outshined previous sales of older, 'White Zombie' work!

During this first decade of his solo career, he would go on to release what some could say are his most famous (or at the very least, 'most recognized') songs of all time! Including such hits as: 'Living Dead Girl', 'Dragula', and, 'Superbeast' to name a few!

Well folks besides the monumental success as a solo artist, he would also make his first attempts in to the movie industry... You see, if you remember, near the beginning of this article, I had mention that as a child Rob Zombie was a huge fan of horror films... Well he would first try to put his love of of films in to use when he was to direct the movie, The Crow 2037...

Well unfortunately despite the fact that he had even written that script, the movie was never released... But this wouldn't stop Rob, who after the failure of his first attempt, would start working on the script that would eventually be for the movie, House Of 1,000 Corpses (2003)... And well after all was said and done, the movie would not see the light of day for about 3 years, until it was release in 2003!

And thus another chapter in the amazing career of this man would be born!

In 2002 Rob Zombie would go on to marry B Movie Scream Queen, and one of the cast from, House Of 1,000 Corpses (2003), Sheri Moon (Halloween)... Later Sheri Moon Zombie!

Anyway, rather this true master of horror is putting together the latest kick ass album in his truly epic career  as a musician, or the next horror classic, this guy's career is truly legendary and one that would definitely cement him as a true, Monster Of Metal!

The Many Faces Of Michael Myers

Michael Myers… Since we first saw this truly evil person burst on to the big screen in the classic John Carpenter film, Halloween (1978), he has not only become one of the biggest names in the Halloween horror movie genre, but has actually become one of the most popular horror movie villains of all time, (to the point where when John Carpenter decided to switch gears with the series, that movie failed, and after Halloween Resurrection (2002), a survey was done and the people spoke in favor of a remake instead of continuing the original series without Michael Myers!

Now I have to admit that I am definitely one of those people that thought that the Halloween series could not continue without Michael Myers, and thought that you guys would like to see the many looks of Michael Myers, from the young man he started off as in the beginning of the first movie, to the man he would become in Rob Zombie’s remake movies!

And with Halloween 3 still rumored to be prepping for production, stay tuned for a future update to this blog!
