Eion Bailey Discusses His Role In Epix’s Upcoming Horror Series “From”

Epix’s upcoming supernatural horror series “From,” will premiere later this month, and take it from me, it’s not to be missed. Ahead of the premiere, I sat down for an interview with Eion Bailey (“Band of Brothers”) who plays Jim Mathews, a father who, along with his wife and children becomes trapped in a town where every night entities emerge from the woods to try and brutally kill the residents. Kelli McNeely: “I’ve seen the first four episodes and love it so far! Out of curiosity, what was your first thought after reading the script?” Eion Bailey: “I have to do this. That was an easy decision.

4K Ultra HD Review: The Toolbox Murders (1978)

A black garbed man drives through the streets of Los Angeles having all manner of dreadful flashbacks involving a fatal car accident before arriving at an apartment building (home to an inordinate amount of absolutely stunning women… and absolutely vomitus design choices) where he strolls on in, toolbox in hand, and straight up murders three women with various implements found therein, before pissing right the fuck off. Despite landlord Vance Kingsley (the legend that is Cameron Mitchell, he of Bava’s 1964 proto-giallo Blood and Black Lace fame… and countless more) ensuring the fuzz that his complex should never have befallen such tragedies since he does such thorough background checks, the same shit happens the following night, as our ski mask wearing psycho offs a chick who’s just tryin’ to flick the ol’ bean, before abducting young Laurie Ballard (Pamelyn Ferdin), which sends her brother Joey (Nicolas Beauvy) and Kingsley’s nephew Kent (Land of the Lost‘s… a.k.a. the greatest Wesley Eure)
