Ten Horror Comedies That Every Fan Should See by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

My two favorite movie genres are Horror and Comedy, so whenever the two get blended into a nice little package of laughs and screams it makes me smile. First off I want to make clear that these are not what I consider to be the best of the best and need to mention they are in no certain order either. There are tons of classics that are not on this short list and mainly because I felt they were known by basically everyone who hasn't been living under a rock and ten is a very small number but I have not forgot about awesome films such as "Shaun of The Dead", "Scary Movie 1 & 2", and the holy grail of horror comedy films the "Evil Dead" trilogy.

F*CK! I Love Return of The Living Dead by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

Growing up in nowhere Kentucky much of my time was spent renting random horror films from various mom and pop video stores with my friend Brian. I was never really into sports or the other various social outlets you have pushed down your throat as a child, scouts, etc, so much of my childhood was spent in front of a Television screen and nine out of ten times there would be some sort of horror film being viewed.

Cover art was a huge deciding factor back when I was a kid when it came time to choose horror flicks to watch, without such things as the internet it made keeping up with the best of the best a lot more difficult. The only form of information we had was what we got from various monsters magazines like Fangoria, and the trailers that would be included with each VHS.

Cropsey (2009) review by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

Staten Island natives, Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio had often heard the urban legend of "Cropsey." It was a cautionary tale invented to keep them out of the abandoned buildings that remained of the Willowbrook Mental Institution. Cropsey was supposedly an escaped patient who would come out late at night and snatch children off the streets sometimes with a hook for a hand, other times with a bloody ax. But in 1987, Jennifer Schweiger, a 13-year-old with Down syndrome, disappeared from their community. For Zeman, Brancaccio, and the other kids of Staten Island, their urban legend became real and the reality they would uncover in "Cropsey" a truly uniquely hair-raising documentary that proves fact is more terrifying than any urban legend.

The Loved Ones (2010) Review by: Shawn Savage

I love going into films completely oblivious. Granted, a lot of the times the results aren't pretty, but if you're going in with no knowledge, and no expectations, it's hard to be that disappointed. Sometimes though you discover a real hidden gem. That is the case with "The Loved Ones". This is the type of film that one could only hope would get a theatrical release. Sadly, it's gone mostly ignored, and will be dumped straight to disc in most territories, while empty headed crap like "Paranormal Activity" rocks the box office.

"The Loved Ones" opens with our main character, Brent, played by Xavier Samuel, as he's driving around with his father. Soon, what appears to be a bloodied, half naked teenage boy runs out in the middle of the road, causing Brent to veer off the road, resulting in an accident that takes the life of his father, and leaves him an emotional mess. Brent feels responsible for the death of his father, and his fruitcake of a mother doesn't make matters any better. Brent appears to be coming to grips with his life in a teen angst sort of way, with a super hot, sex-crazed girlfriend to help him through the dark times. Tonight is the night of a big dance at school, and Brent is soon approached by "the weird girl" in school to ask him to escort her to the event. Having a girlfriend, Brent turns her down. This turns out to be the worst mistake of his life.

My thoughts on "The Walking Dead" premiere on AMC by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

I'm sure each and every one of you is very much aware of the fact that "The Walking Dead" premiered last night on AMC. I'm also sure that most if not all of you were posted in front of your televisions with drool trickling down your chins, after you quickly realized this was not a trick in any form but the purest of treats.

As a fan of the comics and also a fan of the horror genre I was beyond pleased with how the opening episode unfolded. The entire time I felt as if I had been tossed into a time machine and returned to the golden days of zombie films, "Night of The Living Dead", "Dawn of The Dead", and "Day of The Dead", for a moment in time I returned home to when Romero was the king and released only solid gold zombie goodness.

Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) Review by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

After experiencing what they think are a series of "break-ins", a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem in "Paranormal Activity 2".

The best way to describe "Paranormal Activity 2" would be the feeling one gets when forced to watch someone else's vacation videos or misc home videos, you do it to be polite but in all honestly you really just don't give a fuck and hope it ends as soon as possible. This is exactly the feeling that "Paranormal Activity 2" creates thanks to never ending pointless footage that does nothing for the build up or has anything to do with the movie itself.

In all reality this film could of and should of been 30 minutes long and been included as a bonus prequel for a special edition of the first films DVD, it really shows that this was made solely to try and shed light on why the haunting in the first film occurred, which they do in the very last fifteen to twenty minutes of "Paranormal Activity 2".

Session 9 (2001) Review by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years, is about to receive five new visitors. Hazmat Elimination Co. seals a deal to remove dangerous asbestos from the hospital, which is soon to be renovated. The five-man crew dons protective gear and ventures into the eerily vast and vacant spaces and corridors of the hospital. The crew is drawn deeper into the mysteries that surround the asylum rampant patient abuse, medieval medical procedures, and rumors of demonic possession. The hospital holds many dark secrets but then, so do each of the men in Brad Anderson's "Session 9".

The Widows Mansion (Short Story) by: Ted "Ritualistic" Brown

Halloween ah yes the one night of the year that the walls that keep the dead and the living from one and another fade away allowing smooth travel in-between this realm the and next. In today’s age many of the youth forget about the magical sometimes even dark side to what has become a night of carefree mischief and collection of sugar infused treats. I too use to share this naïve mind set until I encountered my first brush of something not of this psychical world we live within. My first taste of evil if you will the date was October 31st 1986 I was 16 years old and it would change my view on Halloween and life forever.

Rammbock AKA Siege Of The Dead (2010) Review by: Shawn Savage

I know what you're saying. Another zombie movie? Saying that the market is over-saturated with zombie films right now would be an understatement. Thought I've personally had a life-long obsession with the sub-genre, today the world has gone zombie crazy. Unfortunately, most of these films barely meet even watchable standards. Most that are solid entries slip through the cracks, and never reach their audience. Half-assed cash-ins are what wind up getting most of the attention. Hell, even the godfather of the genre has a bad track record with his last couple of films. It seems that if you want to see a good zombie film, you have to go out of your way to do so. "Rammbock" is one of those films that you should see by any means necessary.

"Rammbock" is a German film that follows Michael as he travels to Berlin in order to give his ex-girlfriend, Gabbi, the keys to her apartment back. Once Michael arrives, there is a strange man wrestling with Gabbi's radiator heater. As the man becomes more and more aggressive, it soon becomes evident that something is off. Soon, a young man named Harper shows up, who was apparently on a job with the man whom we can now see is bound to the heater. A wave of infection has ravaged the population of what seems to be a country-wide radius, turning them into savage creatures with a ferocious appetite for human flesh.

Altitude (2010) Review by: Shawn Savage

"Altitude" follows a freshly licensed pilot as she flies her and her friends across the country for a concert. Some unexpected weather causes them to increase their altitude in order to fly above it. Once in a steady incline, the plane's mechanics malfunction, causing them to be unable to level out. As the plane rises higher and higher, strange things begin to happen, but are they actually happening, or are they becoming delirious from the lack of oxygen?

Though the trailer would lead you to believe that "Altitude" is little more than a low budget creature feature, it's actually much more. Instead of focusing on some poorly animated creature stalking and killing the characters, we follow them in a downward spiral to madness. The film plays with the viewers senses. I started feeling claustrophobic before the plane even left the strip. Halfway through the movie, not only was I uneasy due to the tight quarters, but completely disoriented.
