Screaming Soup!

Lot of commotion going on out there, Scream Freaks, and its blowing up the internet! Seems someone got the bright idea to make use of an old gag for raising money and applied it toward efforts to nab some generous donations for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research. Not only was this plan successful but it sent the world spiraling into one of the most outrageous and miscommunicated social events to ever happen! The gag is someone calls you out to either donate a lot of money to the charity they’re championing or dump a bucket of ice cold water over your head and donate a much smaller amount.  The research foundation claims to have raised plenty of deniro through this viral sensation. Regardless of such reports, however, you still have your critics who want to chastise the majority of people they claim are only making a spectacle of themselves and dismissing the whole part about donating. Then the criticism hits a new level when third world countries get pissed at all these privileged Youtubers pouring their endless gallons of water everywhere while they have to ration their limited supply of H2O for everyday survival. To their rescue comes celebrities like Matt Damon who helps start an alternative challenge that encourages people to dump toilet water over their heads to help those who actually need water. Before you know it, this will result in an outcry from India over their lack of waste disposal and inspire people to dump sewage over their heads to help fight their pollution.

Anyway, we’re only talking about this because we’ve been challenged to the ice bucket challenge for ALS by a fan of the site, and we couldn’t think of a good reason to say no. Sure, we could donate without the ice bucket, but why not follow the trend of doing both like so many others have? At least were in good company with the likes of Stan Lee, Stephen Hawking, and Superman. Enjoy the vid, and we challenge Charles Band (or the Gingerdeadman) of Full Moon Features (Twitter:@RealCharlesBand ) , Toxic Avenger  from Troma Films (Twitter:@lloydkaufman), Joe Bob Briggs (Twitter:@therealjoebob) of TNT Monster Vision fame, and horror hostess Ms. Monster and her Monster Mellons (Twitter:@msmonster).

It’s finally here, Scream Freaks! All the way from the Crosslands comes the next hernia inducing review from the internet’s #1 horror host, Deadwest, and it’s chock full of boobs and bad language! Just the stuff you want, right? And the icing on this candy center mud cake is that it’s a Full Moon film we’re reviewing so you know it’s going to be ripe for an old school point and laugh. Be sure to keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter, and don’t forget to subscribe to our Youtube channel so you can always be sure you’ve seen the latest vids!

If you’ve never seen any of Don Coscarelli’s “Phantasm” films, you’re really missing out! These sci-fi/fantasy/horror movies are true off the wall treasures that have won fans over worldwide with its peculiar but cohesive gelling of gothic themes with interstellar dangers. Interdimensional aliens disguised as morticians are invading Earth and converting the dead into an obedient midget army to help bring down civilization one town at a time. Only a vengeful boy and an ice cream man dare put an end to the secret invasion and chase the evil across America in their ’71 ‘Cuda. Earth’s fate hangs in the balance as they battle through possessed hearses, grave robbers, and deadly flying spheres loaded with fatal contraptions to reach the alien mastermind, the Tall Man.

Now available is a very thorough look at the history of the Phantasm series, in Dustin McNeill’s Phantasm Exhumed: The Unauthorized Companion. McNeill utilizes extensive notes and interviews from nearly all cast and crew from all 4 Phantasm films and even includes excerpts from Angus Scrimm’s (aka the Tall Man) personal journals reflecting on his experiences on those productions at the time. The book is an entertaining and fluent read and can serve as a great how-to guide for beginning filmmakers with Coscarelli as an example of an 18 year old kid directing his first movie in California. Only downside to the book are the pictures. There’s plenty in it to satisfy a fan, but they’re all black and white and look pixelated or like they were ran through a photocopier. The upside to that, however, is the book is a very reasonable price that most won’t mind paying for some insight and knowledge behind the making of one of horror’s more outstanding franchises. Because of the pics, I’d rate this read a 4/5 and worth the purchase!
