This week I’ll be posting reviews for THE BOOGENS, INTO THE PIT: THE SHOCKING TRUE STORY OF DEADPIT.COM, THE WOLFMAN, and POOR PRETTY EDDIE. The first is an old favorite from the early 80’s that hasn’t yet made it to (legitimate) DVD release. INTO THE PIT is a documentary about the DeadPit Horror Talk Radio boys The Creepy Kentuckian and Uncle Bill. THE WOLFMAN was just fucking godawful and I will pull no punches. Finally, POOR PRETTY EDDIE falls within what you could call Hicksploitation and, being that this is BackwoodsHorror.com, I’m going to start reviewing quite a few flicks within this genre. Stay tuned!
One of my New Year Resolutions was to update more on BackwoodsHorror.com. Though I’ve been slow to it, I’m building up steam as I look forward to a new kickass year in Horror. January was so friggin’ awesome that visitors KILLED MY BANDWIDTH! And I’m not using a tiny little pissant bit of bandwidth, either, so thanks for kickin’ ass! As the year progresses, I have some plans that I hope can come to some form of fruition. Easiest will be to start THE BACKWOODS HORRORSHOW Podcast back up, perhaps with a bit more technical flair. I also plan (we’ll see which way the money train goes) to work on producing HORRORSHOW, a video-cast about all things horror. The latter is a bit ambitious, but I want to take BackwoodsHorror in a more high-octane direction.
Hey there boils ‘n ghouls. As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t updated BACKWOODSHORROR.COM for a while now. This is because, well, my prized MacBook had an unfortunate, let’s say, run-in with a glass of Chocolate Milk that may or may not have had a large quantity of alcohol within it’s murky, yet delicious depths. The tasty beverage somehow came into contact with the motherboard of said beautiful machine and, well, that’s all she wrote. I lost the most recent Backwoods Horrorshow and a computer I absolutely adored. I’ll have to get another, so, until then, expect updates to be somewhat more sporadic than usual. I’ll probably have to use my work lappy, as I’m doing now. I have some reviews to put up at some point in the very near future, including one for Rob Zombie’s latest epic, Halloween 2, which, I may add, I actually enjoyed from a certain standpoint.
My apologies.
Please say a prayer as my beloved MacBook passes through those dark gates in the forest of the dead to find peace with its forbears…crying is acceptable as well. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TEARS, PEOPLE!!!
I may have to replace it with a PC, which, really, makes me feel a little sick, but it’s cheaper and I just don’t have the cash right now for another MacBook…which, well, I got for free the first time.
Hey there, guys ‘n gals. Just wanted to be sure to remind you to check out the BACKWOODSHORROR.com podcast THE BACKWOODS HORRORSHOW. You can find a link to it on the right or subscribe via iTunes. We update it somewhat irregularly, but I’m lookin’ to rectify that situation relatively soon as I settle into my groove with my new job. Thanks for visiting the site!
I know, I know, I haven’t been keeping up with the site as much as I should be. Getting acclimated to the new job has been more than a handful, but rest assured boils and ghouls, big plans are in store for BACKWOODS HORRROR. Within the next few days, expect a full review of the new DELUXE EDITIONS of FRIDAY THE 13th IV, V, and VI, and a review for the horror/western THE BURROWERS, along with a slew of independent horror releases. THE BACKWOODS HORRORSHOW will be coming back soon…WITH A VENGEANCE, and I have been working out plans to turn it into a video production, making it, with any luck, the first real kickass video horrorshow on the ‘net. Along with everything else, I’m working towards redesigning the site a bit and getting away from the plain jane that we’ve all come to know and love, moving towards more of a bloody, backwoods feel more in the, ahem, vein of what I’m trying to do here. So peel off your eyelids because you ain’t gonna wanna miss what I have in store for YOU!
Sorry for the delay in updates fellow boils ‘n ghouls! Backwoods Horror has switched servers and it took a while to get everything back up and running correctly. Expect your delicious dose of creepy horror radness to get back to speed starting…well…probably later today! Also, I haven’t heard back from Rev3 about THE BACKWOODS HORRORSHOW *THE VIDEO SHOW* as far as helping towards putting that together, so, in the next few months, I plan on doing it all myself. Look forward to something along those lines in time for THIS HALLOWEEN!!! I just scored a new job, too, so I’ll be attempting to go to a few horror conventions this year, so expect coverage and, perhaps, INTERVIEWS! A new episode of THE BACKWOODS HORRORSHOW (maybe 2 of ‘em) will be coming down the line soon as well so clean the blood outta yer ears, ’cause it’s COMING…HARD! Heh…
The good boils ‘n ghouls over at SHOCK TILL YOU DROP were nice enough to put up some video of the Fangoria WEEKEND OF HORRORS out in LA which is just fantastic for people like me who can’t get out to the conventions (I’m in convention locked NC). Thanks for letting me live vicariously Ryan Rotten!
While not a long or in depth review by any means, the following exposition fully captures my thoughts on the film. At least…the first minute and a half of the film.
Uwe Boll, have you truly sunk so low as to actually incorporate the filmed torture, maiming, and live skinning of dogs into your film to achieve some form of, what, exploitation cred? What, you think you can be “cool” like Deodato? Go fuck yourself you (lowercase) german piece of shit. I’m sorry, was that not politically correct? I’m just trying to be sooooooo edgy like you. I have a new pinnacle for worst movie here at Backwoods Horror. I didn’t think it’d happen so soon. Motherfuck I’m mad. Seriously, I wish I’d had a chance to go in the ring with the “raging” Boll. I’d fucking curbstomp your ass Boll. What? Not allowed? I suppose continuing to break your fucking skull past all recognition would just constitute unprofessional journalism. Hmmmm, how to be classy. Oh yeah, you threw that out the windown WHEN YOU PUT FUCKING ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF THE TORTURE, SKINNING, MAIMING, AND OVERALL SICK FUCK BULLSHIT TREATMENT OF THOSE FUCKING DOGS IN YOUR MOVIE FOR ENTERTAINMENT VALUE. It’s a real shame you weren’t aborted.
Ahem. And that is my review. Pretty much sums it up.
Ok boils ‘n ghouls, let me know what you think. I’m thinking about starting a new bit called “Crypto Corner.” (That title is tentative). It’ll be about cryptids such as Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, Monstrous Snakes, etc. The monsters of the cryptid world, not your newly discovered bird from guatemala. What do you think? Cryptozoology (look it up) is very near and dear to me (yes, even the little finds like that mentioned above) and I think it could be fun. Let me know!
