The Daves would like to wish the following people a very Happy Birthday this week!

Rebecca Paiva (Tuesday, February 28th) and T-bags PteraPig (Thursday, March 1st) 

The Horror Host world was buzzing this past week when it was announced that during their Tuesday night/winter finale, the hit TV show “Glee” would be featuring a fictional “horror host” with a rather familiar name. Pegged to judge the regional competition was “America’s #1 Late Night Horror Host” – “Svengoobles!” Yes it turns out that one of the show’s creator’s, Ian Brennan, was a native Chicagoan who, like The Daves, grew up enjoying the horror host antics of Rich Koz’s Svengoolie! The character showed up towards the end and, while he had little actual resemblance to the real “Sven” no doubt due to copyright concerns,  he did come out of an upright coffin! One can only hope that the real Svengoolie will make an actual appearance on the show! Imagine him breaking into one of his old parody songs like  “I saw Plan 9″ (to Ace of Base’s “I saw the sign”) while the Glee kids are prancing about holding cardboard tombstones and paper plate flying saucers (homage to the Ed Wood disaster-piece). The number would come to an abrupt end as Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) begins tossing rubber chickens at the chagrin host. Ahhh….one can only dream!

This weekend at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central its an ALL-NEW Svengoolie on MeTV with THE INVISIBLE WOMAN!

Chicago fans can start their Svengoolie viewing early on Saturday with an encore presentation of   MUNSTER, GO HOME on WCIU TV at 11am!

Select Chicago fans can also see a vintage Sven presentation on UToo at 3pm Central. This weekend its ZONE TROOPERS!

Dave Fuentes had a great time seeing Svengoolie recently at The Hawthorne Racetrack (see story HERE)…

Don’t miss out on future Sven appearances on OFFICIAL SITE as well as for his updates, addictive daily blogs, and great Svengoolie merchandise like his NEW T-shirt!

This week on Zomboo’s House Of Horror Movies is one of the scaariest movies ever made…THE CURSE OF NOSTRADAMUS! This film was made in Mexico in 1959. The English language version was released in America in 1962. Nostradamus the vampire is a direct descendent of sixteenth century prophet Nostradamus. Professor Stupido does not believe in vampires, so Nostradamus kills two of the good professor’s buddies before being chased through a maze of tunnels. Curse of Nostradamus is the first in a series of Nostradamus films. Curse of Nostradamus stars German Robles, Domingo Soler, Julio Aleman, and Jack Taylor.

 If you would like to order Zomboo merchandise, including his new t-shirt, please go HERE!

Greetings!

This week on Creature Feature I bring you Todd Slaughter in the much abused film, “Horror Maniacs!” AND…during the break, I bring you my first music video of the 21st century! Why? Because, I’m sexy and I know it! It all takes place in The Lab!

Meanwhile, in The Tomb, the TombKeeper will be serving up three deliciously shivery tomes of terror from her favorite writer of southern gothic terror, award-winning author Elizabeth Massie.

For the anime fans, Stefanie Von Guest takes a close look at the cyberpunk, cult hit, “Akira!” you can read it in The Loft!

Remember the little boy who starred in “Day the Earth Stood Still?” Well, he name was Billy Gray, he grew up to star in “Father Knows Best” and this week, Mark J. Gross has an interview with him in The Atrium!

Speaking of interviews, Athena, the Crowgrrl, interviews Cole Hadden, the writer of Dark Horse Comic’s “The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde.” You’ll find that interview down by The Moat. She also has a review of this comic series in The Chamber!

Lady Pam De Graff has a contemporary DVD on review in The Screaming Room!

Not only do we have my  good friends Grimm and Zom B. stopping by, but we have one of the all time  greatest films as well…Freaks. So don’t miss out on the season finale of Baron Von Ghoulstein’s movie Crypt!

New episodes of Ormsby’s Cinema Insane will debut on March 4th.

In the meantime we have started a mini show called “Ask Ormsby”, where Ormsby answers questions sent in from viewers. We noticed that besides the emails about horror movies and other assorted hate mail, people would ask Ormsby advice on dating, cooking, and other everyday stuff that we thought would be funny for him to answer in his own twisted way. New episodes of Ask Ormsby go up every two weeks.

If anyone would like to ask Ormsby a question, please send them to Ormsby’s NEW email address: ormsbyhost@gmail.com

Ormsby resently released “SH!# Horror Hosts Say…” on Youtube. Much as the title suggests, it is stuff that every horror host has probably said at one time or another.

About Ormsby: Ormsby, originally from Transylvania, is the caretaker, cultural attaché, and mad scientist at Transylvania’s Embassy located in the Haunted Lighthouse of Mastic. He lives with his (mostly) deceased Mother, DuckBoy (made from the parts of a pizza delivery boy and a duck) and 200 little girl clones.

From the Lighthouse he hosts Ormsby’s Cinema Insane (www.cinemainsane.com), which started on the internet in February of 2010. Ormsby is an authority on cloning, horror movies, and cute red heads.

Ormsby recently broke up with Tina Fey. He refuses to return her underwear.

Please join us this Saturday at 1:00pm EST on Facebook/Tingler TV and You Tube for a very special Weird Web Theater. Why is it so special? For one Mod Ghoul and The Ghoul Kids are presenting Night Of The Living Dead. Also Weird Web Theater has expanded from the way we usually do the show. That’s right. You get to see more of us. Maybe that isn’t such a good thing. Maybe it is. I don’t know. At any rate, WWT is expanding and this is a very special show indeed so please join us for the fun. A classic movie and more of your favorite (maybe) horror hosts- Mod Ghoul and The Ghoul Kids. Cheers mates.

If I remember correctly, this week’s feature film is one of Roxsy Tyler’s favorite of the old B films.

Starting this weekend, Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis presents The Gorilla, starring the Ritz Bros. with Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, and Patsy Kelly.

When a wealthy man (Lionel Atwill) is threatened by a killer known as The Gorilla, he hires the Ritz Brothers to investigate. A real escaped gorilla shows up at the mansion just as the investigators arrive. Patsy Kelly portrays a newly hired maid who wants to quit because the butler, played by Bela Lugosi, scares her.

That’s starting this weekend on Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis.

Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis is a hosted horror show, doing his small part to keep alive the traditions of hosts like Zacherley, Ghoulardi, Svenghouli, Count Gore, Stella Desire, Vampira, Elvira, etc.

Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis can be seen on Owensboro Public Access Channel 72, through the Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis website, through the Hocus Focus Horror Host Haven website, each Saturday night on Angel’s Asylum and every Monday Night through Pararock TV.  Please see the Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis website at http://drmpraxis.batcave.net for times and pertinent information.

2012 is here and Mr. Lobo is glad to say things are back on track!In case you heard it here first, my assistant and collaborator, Dixie Dellamorto and “Mr. Lobo” got married on January 13th of this year. This has forged a deeper partnership and we are now a deadly two headed art machine of creative justice!

We have a new editing system and several new production companies, including LEOMANN PICTURES and RANDORI PRODUCTIONS, helping to finish the remaining shows to meet our lofty goal of 26. We have a shooting day next Tuesday and Sunday these teams can help edit as well. A new horror channel that we cannot yet name has also promised to supply studio time and resources starting in May.

As you know, 2011 was a rough year for the show and many people close to the show, with more pitfalls than promise and many doors closing in our face that have been open for a long time. If it wasn’t for your Kickstarter donations, I’m not sure how Cinema Insomnia would have survived. After our newest episode, a crisis of crew and computers, teamed with family health issues, and our resale DVD distribution hitting bottom resulted in a need for restructuring from the ground up.

We now control all remaining DVDs, which still were still selling well in person and are offering signed and number copies of the last few APPREHENSIVE FILMS versions of the shows. 25% discount is offered to all Kickstarter donors who email Mr. Lobo with any requests for episodes they want on DVD.

In September we will start mailing out all Kickstarter rewards, even if we do not yet have 26 new shows in the rotation. Thank you for your incredible support and patience…

In the meantime, we are sticking to our guns, writing, producing, and editing shows…for a brave new world beyond the DVD market. We will be keeping in continual contact with the fans through our new website CinemaInsomnia.com with a calendar that will post production dates as well as live appearances. New shows will also be posted there. Please contact us with any feedback and let us know how we can make the site more useful and enjoyable….http://www.coem,a/

Don’t miss Ormon Grimsby at the Mad Monster Party the weekend of March 23-25th! Also, don’t miss Ormon’s Monster Creature Feature show every Tuesday and Thursday evening on The Monster Channel!

From Ormon:  I made three new video posts to YouTube.  First off is a music video I did with the Atlanta based band Radio Cult. The video has some stuff with the band and Ormon running around our set.

Second, I decided to post the two long running video bits we did for our live Halloween show this past October with Southern Culture on the Skids. It’s all in old school 3D, and while the compression on YouTube hurts it a bit, it still is a pretty neat effect.

The Daves would like to welcome the one and only Ivonna Cadaver to our weekly reports! You can check out all of the latest happenings with Ivonna and her show Macabre Theatre by visiting her official website HERE! You can also meet Ivonna in person at HorrorHound Weekend the weekend of March 23-25th! Also, if you are not in her viewing area, many of her shows are available OnDemand through Amazon!

HORROR HOST DOCUMENTARY NOMINATED FOR RONDO AWARD

RICHMOND– A small budget independent documentary about Virginia television horror host, The Bowman Body, a.k.a. legendary broadcaster, Bill Bowman, is scaring up significant attention this year. The film, “Hi There Horror Movie Fans,” is nominated for Best Documentary of 2011 in the 10^th Annual Rondo Hatton Awards.

The documentary from Horse Archer Productions chronicles the long and influential run of the Bowman Body’s wildly popular and unpredictable shows that ran across the state from 1970 to 1987 in various incarnations. In fact, when “Shock Theater” ran on Friday nights in Richmond, for example, the show got more than a 50% share of viewership, beating even late night king, Johnny Carson, in the ratings.

It also relates several tales from the wild and wooly days of 1970s television including the time Bowman accidentally redirected a funeral in his promotional hearse, an appearance of naked college girls at his home and a group of Hells Angels showing up at a promotion looking for autographs.

For more information about this film, go to www.bowmanbody.com.

I am just now starting to put together the FRIGHT NIGHT CINEMA Halloween Special VOL 3! The show will have a whole new look and new robots as well. Horror Hosts such as THE BONE JANGLER, ROXSY TYLER, HALLOWEEN JACK and UNCLE SCARY will be making special appearances in this episode along with MANY more guests!

It’s Alive is a television show produced in the same format as the highly successful Pittsburgh favorite Chiller Theater. Classic horror movies are presented by a talented cast performing comedy and live music. The show is aired Saturday nights at 10:00 PM on WBGN, a local station reaching over one million households, or can be seen anytime from anywhere via our website www.theitsaliveshow.com. Movie selection and show content appeal to a wide demographic with core viewers being 18 to 34.

In October 2006, 2007 & 2008 The It’s Alive Show sponsored the world’s largest zombie gatherings, as certified by Guinness World Records™, which drew 894 official participants in 2006, 1124 in 2007 & 1375 in 2008. In 2009 we had 1,934 zombies, 2010 4,800 and Zombie Fest 2011 brought in 4,397 zombies. Every year we have provided non-perishable food donations for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and held a charity auction to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Karlos has been very busy in California promoting his show and making connections! Hopefully this will lead to great things for the Monster Madhouse!

Some background on the video….I am half Italian and wanted to share that with her. She questioned which part of the boot my family heralded from and, when I said it was the northern city of Lucca found in the Tuscany region she stated that “I was very lucky.” Not sure exactly what that meant…

Most notable was her reaction to the other Dave – David Albaugh, whom she mentioned was “cute.” See for yourself…

See you next week for yet another exciting “Tale from Horrorhound!”

The Daves~

When you tell someone that you’re a  fan of horror, they will immediately assume that you’re specifically a fan of horror movies. While it is true the silver screen has been its primary source, ever since Bela Lagosi’s DRACULA uttered his maniacal “Good evening,” this should not suggest that it is the only medium for which us fans may indulge. In fact, ever since Ancient Greece, plays depicting the supernatural and horror have been a prominent feature of our human existence. We Westerners can trace our heritage of the genre as far back as Shakespeare. Not only does Horror have a long and distinguished history of being performed “Live,” many of us would be surprised to learn that Lagosi had been portraying “Dracula” on Broadway years before his native Hungarian accent would become forever linked to the character in thanks to Universal Pictures.

For the last several months, a childhood friend of mine, Brian Burke, had been encouraging me to check out the work of a Chicago based theater company called “Wildclaw Theatre” for which he was affiliated. When my family had been experiencing difficulties regarding divorce and a fractured income – the Burkes had adopted my brother and I as their own and included us in many of  their outings and activities. Their unsurpassed generosity was not only doled out without hesitation, it was done in such a way as to never make us feel like charity cases. My gratitude for his family meant there was NO way I could not oblige Brian, though I had little interest in seeing a horror themed play. After all…How could something being performed right in front of me be as effective as the technology offered by that of a motion picture? Regardless, I committed myself to seeing their latest offering, KILL ME, at the Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago.

Not wanting to watch the play alone, I asked my old friend, Suzanne, to accompany me. We hadn’t seen each other in years and this seemed a nice opportunity to reconnect. I was surprised she agreed to go since Suzanne is not a horror fan and, if my memory served correctly, she was also notoriously hard to please when it came to the myriad of movies and plays we’d seen together back in the 1990′s. She’d be looking for good “theater” while I’d be looking for decent “horror” and I figured, at best, maybe one of us would walk away satisfied. To be honest, I actually had no idea what to expect. I am no stranger to plays nor of horror but had never seen the two mixed together. I made up my mind that this was either going to be “two great tastes that go great together” or the proverbial union of oil and water!

After getting our tickets (which playwright, Scott Barsotti, was kind enough to have waiting for us at the box office) we took our seats in the quaint auditorium where there was no such thing as a bad vantage point. As I enjoy “people watching,” I decided to take my favored spot  – way up in the back. Brian, saw me from a few rows ahead and waved before the show began. “Oh, great,” I thought. “How am I gonna pretend to like this so I don’t hurt his feelings afterwards?” Fortunately, the only acting required for this evening would be conducted on stage.

The play deals with three main characters; Cam (Sasha Gioppo), Wendy (Casey Cunningham), and Grace (Michaela Petro). Grace reluctantly joins her girlfriend, Cam, as she seeks the aid of her estranged sister, Wendy. Aside from the familial connection, Wendy is a psychologist and her skills in this profession are what they are primarily in need of. Prior to this awkward family reunion, Cam and Grace had been involved in a car accident – leaving Cam in a coma for exactly one week. When she awakens (a miracle in itself due to the nature of her injuries) she discovers that she has been decisively changed. Cam has come to discover that she is virtually death proof and initiates gruesome ways of proving her new-found invincibility to her horrified sister and distraught girlfriend.

Needless to say, Wendy is not about to cast aside years of schooling in favor of embracing these supernatural claims – especially from a sister who has historically given her the creeps. Grace isn’t quick to buy into it either, though it appears to be more out fear than of pragmatism. Beyond the scope of either hers or Wendy’s vision, are the presence of four demons – closely keeping vigil  and tormenting Cam. They were genuinely creepy and their imagery, combined with their slow & methodical movements, was so effective it reminded me of last year’s horror movie hit, INSIDIOUS.

When the play ended (70 minutes with no intermission), I turned to Suzanne and she enthusiastically said, “That was GOOD!” I wasn’t surprised. The acting in this play was superb and I could see all of these players having a bright future. Their performances were so perfectly synchronized, the audience literally becomes lost in it; the veil between stage and viewer slowly dissipating. I had assumed this was only possible in a film (where lights and production features are hidden from a camera’s view) and was ill prepared at how wrong I would be. In fact, in many ways, the “Live” aspect made it even more effective.  The dialogue was gripping – providing deep, psychological insights that most all of us feel but few can articulate. Many of us admit a fear of death, but how many of us can truly grasp what immortality would actually mean? These are the kind of questions the audience is forced to confront when watching KILL ME.

Afterwards, we were able to meet the cast and crew – truly AMAZING people who treated us like celebrities. I was invited to return again and intend to do just that within the next couple of weeks. I urge anyone in the Chicagoland area to go to the Wildclaw Theatre site HERE and get their tickets ASAP. These tickets are affordable and the experience of a Live horror show proved priceless! Like any intense horror film, this play is not intended for children but adults are encouraged to show up “casual,” with a bar nearby (you can even bring your drinks into the theater). I guarantee, whether you are a fan of horror or of good theater, you will NOT leave disappointed!

Suzanne with the cast of KILL ME!

Fans of horror movies will also want to catch our interview with KILL ME‘s talented writer, Scott Barsotti, which will be posted this weekend. If my take on this play hasn’t convinced you that we have our place in the world of theater, then I can assure you that getting to know this fellow horror fan, surely will!

This past Saturday, the FIRST major Svengoolie appearance of 2012 was “out of the gate!” Yes, I’m one of those lucky fans from Chicago who not only is able to STILL enjoy his childhood host as an adult, but saw him proliferate this past year by going national. Since TERROR FROM BEYOND THE DAVES is a horror host friendly site, created by two childhood fans of Sven, its become a great excuse to stalk the man’s appearances without raising two many eyebrows (except on Facebook where I seem to get called out on it all the time).

This appearance was in celebration of The Hawthorne Racetrack’s Opening Day and had a Mardi Gras theme. Despite getting a raised eyebrow from his mother when I announced we were going to the racetracks, I decided to bring my 14 year old son, Alex, along for the trip. Alex has watched Sven with me his entire formative years and, like many Chicago kids, even dressed up as him one year for Halloween. I’ve never been to the tracks before and am really not the gambling sort. As you’ll soon learn, this would have been a great day to have started! We arrived about 30 minutes before Sven did and were directed to the area where he would be signing autographs. To the left of the line was a table offering “Mardi Gras” style masks and beads to wear and, to the right,was  the table where Sven would be signing.

As we entered, I noticed a couple of familiar faces right in front of us. It was fellow “super fans” Don & Angela Urban. If there are any Sven viewers out there who may not recognize the name, you would certainly recognize Angela’s work. She is known for making her favorite host, hand-crafted items – most recently a “Svengoolie mailbox” that you can still see sitting on his desk during current mail segments. Soon the Count & Countess Gregula also arrived and, minus Jamie Lee Cortese showing up, Svengoolie’s official “cheer squad” was all accounted for.

Svengoolie arrived soon after with his assistant, Jim Roche. Last October David and I purchased three Werepuppies from Asia Eriksen of Fable Foundry (see story HERE) and wanted to give one to Sven as a “thanks.” This was back in October when we were thrilled to hear that the weekend before Halloween Sven would be highlighting the Scary Monsters Magazine articles we had written about  him. As the film he was presenting was CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF, we thought it was a perfect choice, not only on account of that but for all the other great classic werewolf films Svengoolie has returned to commercial TV. I had held on to it and decided to bring it to him for this appearance. He seemed to really like it and we hope, like Anegla’s mailbox,  it will find a nice home on his set!

Sven with his new “Werepuppy”

Afterwards, we hung out on the sidelines as Sven greeted more fans. The line remained constant yet manageable the entire time. While I was chatting with The Gregulas, Angela called to my attention a woman (whom Sven was meeting at that moment) who declared him “the man of her dreams.” Needless to say, I definitely wanted to meet her as well! Her name was Nina and she agreed to be filmed for the site. She was a great lady, lots of fun, and it’s fans such as her that  really makes these events so memorable! See for yourself…

Another fan who caught might attention was a man named Carlos Reyes. Mr. Reyes brought a photo he’d taken of his nine year old son “back in the day” standing next to the Son of Svengoolie (as Rich Koz’s Svengoolie was called at that time).

After the signing was over, we followed Sven into The Gold Cup Room (buffet lounge and betting area) where he would give his picks for three subsequent races.

View of God Cup Room from signing area

This would lead us to the portion of his appearance that has haunted me ever since. Svengoolie named all the horses featured in their respective races, gave who the favored was to win, and then named a different horse (usually based on its name as he would humorously explain) as his pick for winner. In ALL THREE races, Svengoolie picked the winners! Prior to this, I had debated betting on Sven’s horses in effort to make it more fun, but opted not to in lieu of my really not wanting to lose any precious gas money. Needless to say, I have been horse-kicking myself ever since!!!

After it was over, we went outside and saw Sven greet the winning jockey in the Winner’s Circle. The races were a bit behind schedule and after being there three hours, Sven waved to us “goodbye.”

It was a long day and I was tired after being up late the night before (due to some other “Terror Daves” business I’ll be blogging  about next time). Hawthorne Racetrack would later confirm that it was a stellar opening day for them and that Svengoolie is always  a sure-fire way to attract big numbers! Despite my wife’s trepidation, families are most welcome here and its a lot of fun whether you decide to bet or not. Although it’s February, it was beautiful & sunny and a GREAT way to kick off another year of Svengoolie appearances!

NOTE: Any Svengoolie fans reading this post before April 1st, 2012 can vote for Svengoolie as “Best Horror Host of 2011″ in this year’s Rondo’s. Simply send an email to taraco@aol.com, type “Rondo Awards” in the subject and then put in the body #20 – Svengoolie along with your name. If you are feeling REALLY nice, you can also write in the same message, #18 – Terror from Beyond the Daves for Best Blog. We’d sure appreciate it!

Friday night at the 2010 Indianapolis Horrorhound Weekend, my friend Jason and I covered quite a bit! We managed to meet a bunch of great celebrities (including Ton Savini) as well as a bulk of the horror hosts I’d listed as priorities (including Elvira!).

Two other hosts we’d meet had been operating relatively close to me, one was Count Gregula whom I’d seen at Svengoolie events and the other was Dr. Destruction from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Those meetings were recounted HERE and HERE.

It would end up being far from the last time I’d deal with either. The Count & Countess Gregula would join me for some outings later that year as well as us taking road trips together/joining forces at DAYS OF THE DEAD, FRIGHT NIGHT FILM FEST, and G-FEST in 2011.

As for Dr. Destruction, we’d also see each other again, numerous times, and he would become the subject of one of my articles in SCARY MONSTERS MAGAZINE that following year.

Tune in for another “Tale from Horrorhound Weekend” next week!

This week on Zomboo’s House of Horror Movies is one of the scariest movies ever made, THE GIANT GILA MONSTER! This film was released in 1959. Two of the oldest looking teenagers I’ve seen decide to watch the submarine races, but the wrong lizard shows up. And because everyone in this town who drives a motor vehicle is always drinking, they’re not too sure what they see until the big lizard crashes the Saturday Night Sock Hop and then waltzes through the countryside. It’s a true mystery of science as to why such a giant reptile cannot be seen roaming around the desert at any given time. The Giant Gila Monster stars Don Sullivan, Lisa Simone, Ken Knox, Shug Fisher, and Fred Graham.

You can catch it Saturday night, February 18th at 11:30pm on KOLO TV in Reno. Be there and be scared!!!

Second, I decided to post the two long running video bits we did for our live Halloween show this past October with Southern Culture on the Skids. It’s all in old school 3D, and while the compression on YouTube hurts it a bit, it still is a pretty neat effect.

Hi, kiddies!

Starting this weekend on Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis, we’re showing a bit of a different kind of movie.  A bit of a psychological thriller named Single Room Furnished.

Single Room Furnished is a 1968 drama film featuring Jayne Mansfield in her final “filmed” starring role. In it she plays three different and complex characters and over time many have considered this film to contain one of Mansfield’s finest performances as she demonstrates her dramatic acting abilities, something she had longed to do throughout her career.

The feature was shot in 1966, while Mansfield was married to her third (and final) husband, Matt Cimber. The movie was briefly released in the mid months of 1966, but was quickly pulled from theaters. The feature was released “legally” and “officially” in 1968; which was nearly a year after Mansfield’s tragic death in a car crash at the age of 34. The reason the term “last filmed starring role” was used was fore the film was shot (as earlier mentioned) in 1966. After filming, Single Room Furnished, in 1966, Mansfield filmed only character acting roles in films. Her legally final film appearance was in 1967′s A Guide for the Married Man; playing a uncredited cameo role. Today Single Room Furnished is considered by Jayne Mansfield fans as one of her finest acting performances; some of her other dramatic performances were in, Illegal, The Burglar, The Wayward Bus, all three Hollywood productions; and, two independent foreign films: Too Hot to Handle and The Challenge. Jayne Mansfield acting seriously was a rare and good sight to see.

That’s Single Room Furnished, starring Jayne Mansfield, starting this weekend on Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis.

Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis can be seen on Owensboro Public Access Channel 72, through the Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis website, through the Hocus Focus Horror Host Haven website and every Sunday Night through Pararock TV.  Please see the Movie Madness with Dr. Praxis website at http://drmpraxis.batcave.net for times and pertinent information.

This week on Dr. Destruction’s Crimson Theatre is the 1958 film FRANKENSTEIN’S DAUGHTER. There will also be a re-enactment of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN featuring Dr. Destruction on the role of Dr. Frankenstein! Tune in to see who plays the Monster and the Bride!

Tune in to the Big Top Radio program Sunday evening at 6 PM CST on AM 1050 WLIP for a big announcement! Click HERE to listen to it streamed online!

There is one person here and on many Horror Host groups that in my opinion deserves to be nominated and inducted into this hall of fame for “Behind the scenes” and that is Larry “Uncle Lar” Gibbs aka Bob Thomas. He has created the Horror Host Underground, sends out “Scare Packages” to all Horror Hosts new and not so new, at hundreds of dollars of his own expense and asks for nothing in return but to have us send in our videos so that he can circulate them with not only each other but with many types of media. I haven’t known him very long but I admire and respect him for all he has does and continue to do, so I am asking you, no demanding of you, if you have been helped by or know of this man, please do as I have done and nominate him and vote, yell, scream or whatever until they listen and do what is right, put away our own personal vanities and aspirations and give credit where it is due. Thank you.

Karlos has been very busy in California promoting his show and making connections! Hopefully this will lead to great things for the Monster Madhouse!

Check out the new video montage they put together:

Watch here as Tom from MySpace sends some girls over to the Madhouse!

Here is a short clip of the new Monster Metal song!

 New episodes of Ormsby’s Cinema Insane will debut on March 4th.

In the meantime we have started a mini show called “Ask Ormsby”, where Ormsby answers questions sent in from viewers. We noticed that besides the emails about horror movies and other assorted hate mail, people would ask Ormsby advice on dating, cooking, and other everyday stuff that we thought would be funny for him to answer in his own twisted way. New episodes of Ask Ormsby go up each Monday, but we’re taking a break for the holidays until mid-January.

The Ask Ormsby for Feb. 15th deals with “Pick-up Artists”.

If anyone would like to ask Ormsby a question, please send them to Ormsby’s NEW email address: ormsbyhost@gmail.com

About Ormsby: Ormsby, originally from Transylvania, is the caretaker, cultural attaché, and mad scientist at Transylvania’s Embassy located in the Haunted Lighthouse of Mastic. He lives with his (mostly) deceased Mother, DuckBoy(made from the parts of a pizza delivery boy and a duck) and 200 little girl clones.

From the Lighthouse he hosts Ormsby’s Cinema Insane (www.cinemainsane.com), which started on the internet in February of 2010. Ormsby is an authority on cloning, horror movies, and cute red heads.

Ormsby is currently dating Tina Fey from 30 Rock, unbeknownst to her.

Beautiful women and fast cars have never gone better together than they do in this over-the-top tale that manages to lampoon everything from romantic comedies to NASCAR. A waitress with a heart of gold puts her life in danger while trying to save the family farm in this action-packed, bikini-clad, race-car roaring laugh-riot. We expect Dr. Zoid to be in the chat room, and we’re betting he’ll bring pizza rolls!

Tuesday (2/21). 9:00 P.M.  Join us tonight for the episode 4 of LENNY’S INFERNO starring MR. MEPHISTO! The great Mr. Mephisto (Dick Flanagan) is a horror host legend, and now he’s back with fully reworked episodes! Join Mephisto, Voice in the Box, Beauregard, the Moat Beast, and the other crazy denizens of The Castle as they present  BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN (1963). Executive producer Roger Corman bought a Russian film and hired a young fellow named Francis Ford Coppola to re-edit it, write new dialog, and shoot a battle scene with a monster who bears more than a passing resemblance to a giant schlong! Freakshow will be moderating the chat.

Tuesday (2/21). 11:00 P.M. BORDELLO OF HORROR presents INCEST DEATH SQUAD 2 (2010). If ever a movie cried out for a sequel, I.D.S. is it! The brother-sister team of Jeb and Amber Wayne are back to their dastardly doings as they go after the guy who witnessed their earlier dastardly doings. Our on-screen host Freakshow will be moderating the chat. And we’re hoping that director Cory Udler, who joined us in the chat room for I.D.S., will be back with us again tonight.

Wednesday (2/22). 9:00 P.M.  THE SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with Nigel Honeybone presents the Vortexx debut of BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE (1959). What starts out as a typical heist film metamorphosizes  into something else as our would-be bank robbers blow up a cave and unleash . . . Well, folks, words cannot adequately describe the horror that they let loose. Let’s just say that the “Beast” looks like a cross between a Giant Spider and the Abominable Snowman. Shot in the scenic Black Hills of South Dakota and written by Charles (Little Shop of Horrors) Griffith. Roger Corman is the uncredited executive producer.

Thursday (2/23). 9:00 P.M.  THE DARK VAULT OF PUBLIC DOMAIN with Uncle Pete presents DOUBLE NICKELS (1977). This film about two California highway patrolmen who moonlight as Repomen has everything you loved about the 70′s! Chicks in hot pants, CB lingo, fast cars, motorcycles, dune buggies, huge-ass Afros, big bushy moustaches, and more car chases than you’re gonna see in a whole season of “Dukes of Hazzard.” So take a fast ride down memory lane with us tonight. We guarantee, you’ll be laughing your arse off the whole way!
