Blu-ray Review: The 27 Club (2019)
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 Gives an ETA For ‘Three From Hell’ As Well As A New Image
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.

Movie Review: Scary Stories (2019)
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! We get the genesis of the series creation (featuring interviews with Schwartz’s widow among other peers and family members) that paint a vivid picture
