SSS: The "Creep" Movies And French Crepes

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/12/28

This week we review the two "Creep" movies. Despite being low budget, these found footage films are surprisingly compelling. Each movie is just two people talking but we're never sure what one's intentions are. I've also include some great French crepe recipes here and here Crepes can be filled with anything that strikes your fancy-- be it Nutella, fruit, whipped cream or something more savory.

The "Blade" Franchise And Some Tasty Blade Steak Recipes

2019/12/22

This week we review the "Blade" franchise. It consists of three movies and a TV series (which ran for one season). Many people dont realize that "Blade" basically saved Marvel. It proved that a lesser known superhero movie could become box office gold. Without "Blade", we might never have seen "The Avengers", "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Guardians Of The Galaxy" etc. Blade is also the first African American superhero-- setting the stage for Nick Fury, Luke Cage and of course Black Panther and the

ADDENDUM: "The Curse Of La Llorona" And A Ghostly...

2019/12/14

This week we review the sixth installment in "The Conjuring" franchise. The other entries were covered back in episodes 7 and 30. "The Curse Of La Llorona" is based on the Mexican folktale about a weeping woman who steals other people's children and drowns them in an attempt to get back her own. It is often used in LatinX communities to make children behave, stay away from bodies of water and not to stay out after dark. We also have the "La Llorona" cocktail from the Muy Beuno Cookbook courtesy of

The "Insidious" Franchise And The Further Cocktail

2019/12/08

This week we review the "Insidious" franchise. There are four movies total. The series was created/written by Leigh Whannel and James Wan. They also directed and produced several of the movies. We reviewed their other series "The Conjuring" in episode 7 and "Saw" in episode 28. Talk about some busy people! Joseph Bishara did the music for the "Insidious" franchise and played the lipstick faced demon. Did you know he also played Bathseba and the Annabelle demon in "The Conjuring"? Pretty cool. One

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/11/29

This week we discuss a cult classic-- "Re-Animator". There are three films in this series. They are based on a HP Lovecraft short story "Herbert West: Re-Animator". If you like horror comedy and body horror, give it a watch. 2geekswhoeat.com has the Misckotonic Reviver. It's a reagent inspired mixed drink here. TheHomidicalHomemaker.com also has "Re-Animator" inspired Jello shot syringes here Both would be great for a "Re-Animator" viewing party. Music Credit: Here Photo Credit: Here

2019/11/23

This week we're covering a VERY heavy hitter. Often considered the best horror movie ever, 1980's "The Shining" was directed by Stanley Kubrick. It's sequel just came out this year. "Doctor Sleep" was directed by Mike Flanagan. Both movies are based on Stephen King's books by the same name. This week's recipe is derived from a drink that Grady spills on Jack in the ball room. It's Advocaat and is a yellow Dutch liqueur. It is sometimes a topping for waffles, pancakes, ice cream and other deserts

2019/11/16

This week we're doing something slightly different. Horror is a vast film category encompassing a number of different subgenres. Of course not everyone agrees on what they are. I include 25 subgenres here and examples of each. Did I leave any out? What are your favorites? I lean more towards psychological, supernatural, crime, haunted house and of course ZOMBIES! This week's food offering isnt a recipe. Instead it's a website http://ghouliachilds.com/ They have tons of great horror themed food

2019/11/09

This week we are covering "Creepshow". It is often considered one of the best horror anthologies out there. There are 3 movies and a TV series in the franchise. My suggestion is check out the original movie and several segments from the series-- "The Main In The Suitcase", "The Finger" (love you Bob!), and "Skincrawlers". The TV series is visually stunning. The transitions from comics to live action and back again are great. The color saturations with bright reds, green, and purples are beautiful

The "Scary Movie" Franchise And A Wayans Family Recipe

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/11/02

This week we review the "Scary Movie" franchise. There are five movies total. These films parody popular horror movies. The formula is simple-- throw in as many horror movie references as possible, invite as many B level actor/celebrities as possible, and make as many jokes as possible (the cruder the better). The first two movies were written by the Wayans brothers. Keenen directed both and Shawn and Marlon starred in both. They parted ways with Miramax/Dimension Films before the third. The

2019/10/27

The "I Spit On Your Grave" franchise contains 5 movies total. There is a 1978 original, a 2010 remake, two sequels to that and a 2019 direct sequel to the original called "I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu". Be warned. This subject matter is not for the faint of heart. These movies include graphic representations of rape, torture and revenge. They join several others in the "rape revenge" horror subgenre including: "Last House On The Left", "Revenge", "Elle", "American Mary", "Big Driver", "The Girl

The "HellRaiser" Franchise And PinHead Themed Foods

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/10/20

This week we take a look at one of the largest but somewhat less popular franchises. "HellRaiser" has 10 movies total as well and a number of related books, comic books, documentaries, short stories, etc. When the first "HellRaiser" movie was released back in 1986, there wasnt anything like it. S&M demons from Hell, lead by the iconic Pinhead, torture anyone who opens a mysterious puzzle box. I wanted to learn more. Despite the decline in quality of later movies (5-10 were released direct to home

The "Hell House LLC" Franchise And Abaddon Beer

2019/10/06

It's October again. My favorite month of the year. What better time is there to review a haunted house attraction? There are three movies total in the "Hell House LLC" franchise. All are currently available on Shudder. And to go along with the Abaddon Hotel, I found an Abaddon Beer. See the recipe from HomeBrewTalk here And a quick suggestion. You might want to watch these AFTER going to a haunted house (instead of BEFORE). Otherwise, you may be as freaked out as I was. Photo Credit: Here

2019/09/22

This week we review the "Phantasm" franchise. Although it is lesser know than some other horror offerings, it spans some forty years and five films. It's also one of the most imaginative series out there. Even if you havent seen the films, odds are you've seen a picture of The Tall Man and his killer orbs. And in honor of Reggie the ice cream vendor, we have a recipe from the New York Times and Melissa Clark for the only ice cream recipe you'll even need. Check it out on YouTube or at the NYT

2019/09/16

This week we review "The House On Haunted Hill". This is not to be confused with "The Haunting Of Hill House". They share similar titles but have nothing to do with each other. There are three films total in "The House On Haunted Hill" franchise. The original from 1959 is considered the quintessential haunted house movie and stars the always compelling Vincent Price. Our recipe also comes from Vincent Price. Besides being one of the most under-rated actors of his generation, he also published

The "Lost Boys" Franchise And Santa Cruz Food Favorites

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/09/08

This week we review a smaller franchise. The original "The Lost Boys" was released in 1987. It was followed in 2008 and 2010 by two Direct To Home Video offerings-- "The Lost Boys: The Tribe" and "The Lost Boys: The Thirst". While the original was a smash hit, the last two movies did not fare as well. In recent developments, the CW channel and Rob Thomas are working on a pilot for a "Lost Boys" TV series. There's no ETA as of yet but let's hope it's soon. The original film takes place in the

The "Omen" Franchise And Devil's Food Cake

Horror Movie Franchises ·

2019/08/31

This week we review the "Omen" franchise. There are four original films, a 2006 remake, a failed TV pilot and a TV series that ran for one season on A&E. The original "Omen" from 1976 holds up surprisingly well after some 45 years. Just dont expect jump scares every five minutes. This movie focuses more on story telling but still has some excellent special effects. And what else goes better with today's theme than Devil's Food Cake?

This week we review the "Fright Night" franchise. There are four films total. The original in 1985, followed by a part 2, a remake in 2011 and finally "Fright Night 2: New Blood" (which is not a sequel but a completely different story with the same character names). Go figure. And to keep those pesky vamps away, here are a few foods from BonAppetit that are loaded with garlic. They include: Garlic Knots, Roast Chicken With Garlic, The Garlickiest Fried Rice,Halibut with Garlic Cream and Fennel, and

2019/08/18

This week we're talking about 2002's "28 Days Later" and it's sequel "28 Weeks Later". The first movie is considered responsible for invigorating the zombie genre. These arent your slow meandering walkers. They are super fast. You only have 10-20 seconds before the infected turn and try to eat you. Good luck! And our recipes this week focus on foods made popular in London. Check out an English Breakfast, Fish and Chips, Pie and Masher, Eton Mess and, of course, Afternoon Tea. Find more

2019/08/10

This week we review the "Kolchak" franchise. There are two made-for-TV movies, one original series that ran for 20 episodes in 1974-75 and a remake in 2005 that was pulled after six episodes. All were on ABC. "Kolchak" is credited as the inspiration for "The X Files" and other paranormal investigator shows such as "Fringe", "Grimm" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". And in honor of Kolchak's adopted home of Chicago, here are a few foods that originate in the Windy City. See MentalFloss here for more
