Wyrmwood - Road of the Dead (2014) Movie Review [Roger Ebert]
Most horror fans will spend the first act of “Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead” ticking off the boxes of cinematic influences. There’s a little bit of George Romero. There’s a gory splash of Peter Jackson. There’s an angled zoom stolen straight from Sam Raimi. And why does this whole thing remind me of “Mad Max”? While the fine line between homage and plagiarism may be crossed for some, debut director Kiah Roache-Turner commits so completely to the insanity of his melting pot concept that he won me over with sheer force. Adam Wingard told me that he literally dreamed up “The Guest” after watching “Halloween” and “The Terminator” on the same night. One could see Roache-Turner having a similar vision that led to “Wyrmwood” after a double feature of “Dawn of the Dead” and “Mad Max”.

“Vampira and Her Daughters” by Robert Michael “Bobb” Cotter [Basement of the Bizarre]
Horror hosts have been around almost as long as television has shown horror movies. Back in the day, before corporations took over all of the local television stations, said station would try to maintain a local feel that extended beyond the news. Some of these stations would have local kids’ clubs, Dialing for Dollars movies and of course, usually late at night, horror movies that were usually hosted by a ghoulish character that would oftentimes entertain the viewer during the commercial breaks.

Where Did Iron Maiden’s Mascot Eddie Come From [Loudwire]
Who Is Eddie + Why Is the Mascot Significant?
Eddie (Eddie the Head if we’re being formal) is the long-running mascot for British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden.
Over time, Eddie has become synonymous with the group and is one of the biggest pieces of iconography in metal. Not only has the mascot graced countless pieces of official album and single artwork, but various versions of Eddie have appeared onstage (on backdrops and as props), on T-shirts, in video games and heaps of other merchandise.

Creature Feature Music [Official Website]
Creature Feature is the deviant brain child of two sinister composers from Lost Angeles known only as Curtis Rx and Erik X. Formed on Halloween of all days, these two maniacal groundskeepers in the torture garden of auditory delight have taken it upon themselves to draw from their twisted childhoods and invent a band that becomes everything that frightened you as a child, a band that becomes Halloween 365 days a year, a band that forces you to remember why you used to sleep with the lights on and fear the bumps in the night.

Tales of Lost TV - The Television Ghost (1931-1933)
Tales of Lost TV is a monthly column in which I examine a particular TV program or TV series either known or believed to be lost forever. The amount of lost TV is truly staggering–aside from a handful of exceptions everything broadcast prior to 1948 no longer exists. That doesn’t mean it all has to be forgotten.

Do Zombies Eat Dead People [Zombie Research Society]
Do zombies eat dead people? On the surface the answer seems clear. Zombies are generally considered to be after one thing, and one thing only: living flesh. Therefore, a zombie would pass right by an available dead body and continue hunting the living. But it may not be as simple as that.
