Original Title: Santa Claus Year: 1959 Director: René Cardona Writer: Adolfo Torres Portillo , René Cardona IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053241/ Genre: Horror!!!!! synopsis: With the aid of Merlin, Santa Claus must defeat the evil machinations of the devil Pitch to ruin Xmas. Surpriiiiise! I saved the scariest until last! Today! Halloween! Eve of El Dia de Muertos! Thank you everyone for reading and commenting and enjoying (cough) my super theme month. But now, onto the dirty work. I've covered a lot of trash and a few treasures this month, but I have to say Santa Claus, while very weird and entertaining for the wrong reasons, just sucks a fat one as a film. UGGGGGHHHHH I was so bored watching this most of the time. Let's cover the good stuff though for the sake of the holiday. Santa is a fucking weirdo creep! José Elías Moreno plays the jolly one in Cardona's vision of the Christmas legend, and isn't bad I suppose. I mean, Santa is supposed to be a fat fucker th...

Do you remember not too long ago I showed you how the tree in my front yard looked? It was still full of green leaves. Well, now that same tree looks like this. And the front yard looks like this. The back yard here and the yard at my mother's house look the same way. My husband has gone to Chicago for the weekend. My son has plans with his friends to go bowling and to a Halloween party. So, I think I better put my hoodie on, get outside, and do some dancing with a rake to see if I can find the grass again. While I am out there, here are some guys from the Czech Republic doing a rake dance for you which I'm sure will be more entertaining than watching me rake leaves. Actually, it is more like a percussion instrument performance than a dance, in my opinion, and they are using what looks to me like garden rakes instead of leaf rakes, but it will have to do. I wonder what I would look like wearing yellow capri pants, black boots, a white shirt and a red kerchief around my neck...

Original Title: El Violador Infernal (The Hellish Rapist) Year: 1988 Director: Damián Acosta Esparza Writer: ? IMDB:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368410/ Genre: Horror synopsis: A criminal is executed in the electric chair, but some a dark queen brings him back to life, naming him her favorite son. The criminal is now indebted to the demoness and must murder and rape and mark the bodies with a 666 as an offering in order to bring himself power and pleasure and to provide the demoness the same pleasure. Filthy This is one of the first films I chose to watch and review for my theme month, but I have been saving it this long because it just seemed so ridiculous. The film is sparse in many areas, but it is a fucking mean spirited story that really doesn't leave you with a pleasant taste in your mouth. Well, not exactly... The synopsis follows the plot pretty closely. Like the film I watched at the beginning of the month Intrepidos Punks, this film really lacks a strong central plot i...

Yup, it's that time again - Halloween! I normally LOVE any chance to dress up but I just wasn't feeling it this year. So since I need to come up with something by tomorrow, I thought I would post some of my previous costumes for inspiration. Alice & The Madhatter Gangsta & Flapper President of the Tooth Fairy Union {I had business cards too} The Beastie Boys from the Sabotage music video Robots Superheros on strike for better health care Also, tonight will be a super special bike ride - Halloween Critical Mass! This is the ride that takes place on the last Friday of every month. Bikers ban together and take over the roads, riding wherever we please. And since it's Halloween, you can expect even more costumes, naked people, and pimped out bikes than normal. I'll post pictures in a couple days, don't you worry. Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!

I don't like to complain.  I really don't.  It's non-productive and unattractive and not at all fun.  We all know someone (or perhaps more than one someone) who is an otherwise likeable person but just seems to complain all the time.  They are the ones for whose departure everyone else is eagerly awaiting, so the party can start being worth getting dressed up for.  I don't want to be that someone, so I try not to complain.   The problem is that I have so much to complain about.  Let me just select one complainable thing, one thing which I promise will not become a regular institution here: work.  I don't remember if I've mentioned it or not, but I work in a printing plant from 3 to 11 every night to pay the bills until I can finish my degree.  I, to put it bluntly, hate my job.  I despise my work, abhor my company, and outright loathe the printing industry.  If any of you get a chance to get in to printing, don't.  Think twice ...

Original Title: Ladrones de tumbas (Grave Robbers) Year: 1990 Director: Rubén Galindo Jr. Writer: Rubén Galindo Jr. , Carlos Valdemar IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0282672/ Genre: Horror synopsis: A group of grave robbers stumble into a crypt which houses the corpse of a vile Satanist killed during the Inquisition long ago. Upon removing an axe from the corpses chest, they inadvertently revive the Satanist who goes on the hunt once again for a virgin suitable to give birth to the Antichrist. Galindo is back! He brought the slasher and well, not so much the zombies with him! I kinda had it in my brain, especially with the ending of Cemetery of Terror, that Grave Robbers was going to be a sequel in some way. I didn't read it or anything, but they just seem to No such luck, but it was still a decent little flick that stood fine on its own. This film provided quite a bit more gore and a more balanced story overall (things started off pretty strong and it more or less kept up the pa...
