Of course that kind of quality causes plenty of buzz, and soon Agent Dick (Joe Estevez) is on the case to make sure Daddy and his and his adopted family; the comely crew comprised of Laura (Siarra T. Mong), Lola (Brenda Whitehead), and Lenore (Fiona Domenica) go down right quick…especially when word gets out that Daddy’s product is making folks go completely insane. Will B>D. be able to protect his livelihood from the DEA comin’ to get him, or will his entire operation go up in smoke? Let’s start with what works in High on the Hog‘s favor (and I have to tell ya; it’s one short list). First of all, Haig and Estevez give it their all and are fun to watch (and it was cool to see a posthumous appearance by genre icon

In the 1800’s Colt (Chad Michael Collins) sets about putting a murder on a posse of gun-slinging werewolves that murdered his wife, after which, he is promptly killed by a ninja…this is doubtless based on a true story. Flash forward to the modern day where a small town is being plagued by a rash of exhumed coffins devoid of corpses, which naturally is caused by those pesky aforementioned lycanthropes who have woken up and immediately went on a kill spree that resulted in a whole lot of dead bikers and our werewolves on wheels. Of course since that putrid posse have come barkin’ back from the grave, our rootin’ tootin’ hero follows suit and before long teams up with a comely widow (Chelsea Edmundson), a small-town sheriff with marital woes (Matthew Thompkins) and a crooked Mayor (Sean Patrick Flanery), to try and end the evil reign of those blood-crazed creatures! As you can surmise, High Moon is one over-the-top, comic

After thirty years, the Critters franchise has brand new installment headed your way on Blu-ray and DVD this summer.

Music man Quinn Scott (Travis Grant) goes and joins the 27 Club (you know, the exclusive collective of rock n’ rollers that have done the whole croakin’ bag on their big two seven)…well, to be honest; it isn’t entirely up to him, as a dagger toothed demon emerges from a magic-ass mirror and drags him to Satan knows where…as is so often the case. That brings us to Jason (Derrick Denicola) who is doing the whole documentary bit on the ol’ 27 Club. As he investigates the demise of the mighty Quinn, he discovers one of those arcane tomes the youngsters are so bananas for these days…which of course he swipes with the quickness. Well, that beastly book can do the whole demon summoning dealio (and said supernatural creatures can grant wealth and fame…with a catch of course), and Quinn’s band-mates will do anything to possess that artifact like it’s some sort of preternatural Klondike bar! Look, The 27 Club

Rob Zombie has officially completed Three from Hell, his sequel to The Devil’s Rejects. Zombie released a new image today of Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) and given us a better idea of when we will see Three from Hell, which has just been given an “R” rating by the MPAA for “strong sadistic violence, language throughout, sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use.” The rocker/director gave an update via his Facebook page of when we might finally see the film, “early fall”. He also revealed that the trailer will soon arrive. As you now may have heard we finally received our R Rating. This was a very long process and threw us a couple months behind schedule. It’s a drag to be sure, but that the way it goes.” “Anyway that is the reason you haven’t seen a trailer yet. We are currently working on a trailer and hope to get it out in the world ASAP.” Zombie’s Facebook post

To be honest, I was too old for Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series of books, but I was well aware of their existence thanks in no small part to the eye catching, nightmare enduing artwork contained within the tomes (courtesy of Stephen Gammell), but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t into a devious doc detailing the series creation and what it has meant to generations of fright fans n’ horror hounds! First thing you have to realize is that Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was the most banned book of the 1990’s…and if that doesn’t give that shit unlimited horror biz street cred, I have no idea what would! Of course, that tumultuous moment is detailed in Cody Meirick’s documentary, but there is so much more ground that is covered!
