CineMayhem Film Festival 2013
I was lucky enough to get to attend the first year of the CineMayhem Film Festival in Thousand Oaks, CA. The event took place at the amazing Muvico Theater. Leather seats, elevators, full kitchen and bar. Now that’s what I call a movie theater. The festival was very well organized and the staff was well [...]
CineMayhem comes to Thousand Oaks, CA March 2nd & 3rd!
I love a good film festival and Dread Central has decided to pony up and create their own. Read on for more info: Created as a way to pay homage to and celebrate the spirit of independent filmmaking and those unafraid to take risks with their storytelling, CineMayhem’s diverse line-up includes advanced screenings of two [...]
Taeter City (2012)
Growing up as a budding horror fiend I always wanted to see the goriest movie out there. Too bad I peaked at about 12 seeing Dead Alive uncut thanks to my local mom & pop video store. That didn’t deter me in the hunt though. I’ve seen my share of German gore flicks like The [...]
Jug Face (2013)
Running Toxic Graveyard is pretty awesome. I get to update it when I feel like it with no boss breathing down my neck. I also get fantastic screeners. All in all it’s well worth the time. Jug Face, which recently premiered at Sundance, is also well worth your time. Jug Face is about a rural [...]
Amongst The Dead (2012)
Here at Toxic Graveyard I keep saying that I hate zombie films and fiction. That i’m over the undead and couldn’t stand another rotting moan or infected limb. And yet, I keep getting great zombie books and films and gush over them every time. I suppose I should say that I’m tired of cookie cutter [...]
Hammer House of Horror
I’m not the biggest fan of Hammer flicks. Sure, once or twice a year the moon aligns with the stars and I feel like watching a creaky old gothic flick with lots of heaving bosoms and excellent scenery chewing, but by and large i’m a kid of the 80s/90s. I do however enjoy horror tv [...]
Tribesmen (2012)
I’ve been obsessed with funky horror flicks for most of my life. Sneaking them on tv while my parents were oblivious, renting them whenever i could and watching them in the theater. About 8 years ago I discovered the Video Nasties list. It’s a list of 74 films banned by the British Film Board in [...]
Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except (1985)
Like many horror fans, I cut my teeth on the Evil Dead Trilogy. I was obsessed with the films and showed them to anyone I could. There’s something special about those flicks. Charismatic Bruce Campbell, the unique storyline, the mix of humor and gore, humor and horror. They’re just the perfect gateway into cult horror. [...]
Centipede Horror (1984)
In high school dvd was big and Circuit City and Best Buy had huge selections. They even carried cheap ass kung fu flicks that were at best grey market, at worst total bootlegs. I quickly learned that Gordon Liu was awesome and almost anything Shaw Brothers put out was gold. My appetite for kung fu [...]
Colony (1995)
Back here again with some more DIY horror. You’d think after The Basement release I would have gotten my fill, but no. I can’t seem to get enough of homegrown horror, and Colony certainly fits that bill. Seemingly shot in the late 80s/early 90s I have no idea of its true production date as there [...]
