"Great Bad Movies" strikes again with a review of this hellish holiday classic:

I remember seeing this on MST3K and even with their amusing commentary it looked pretty awful. Thanks for taking the bullet on this one yet again, dude.

I had been in the midst of writing a new James Bond related article when Sir Roger Moore passed away, so I turned it into sort of a tribute focusing on his films in the series.

That was a great read FF - Roger Moore will always be my fav Bond.

^^ Thanx d00d

Nicely written FF !

Two new entries on this damp, rainy, clammy weekend... Stormspell Records was nice enough to hook me up with digital promos of two of their upcoming releases so here's my write ups:

Cloven Altar, "Enter The Night"

Claymorean, "Sounds From A Dying World"

https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Claymorean-Sounds-Of-A-Dying-World-2017-Album-Review

Good writes dude.

New entry... I dusted off one of those irresistibly crappy "Dollar Store Double Feature" DVDs recently to revisit these oldies but baddies...

Dang, my first new entry in more than a month!

Before he was "Ripper," Tim Owens was just the singer in Winters Bane....

I have several more "Forgotten Hard Rock Albums" entries in various states of completion at the moment so now that I've finished this one, hopefully it will inspire me to find time to push out the rest.

In case you missed it in the other forum, Blazon Stone has a new album coming out from our pal Stormspell, who was nice enough to gimme a sneaky peek to review on my HubPage. Wanna read it? Here it go.

I'm late but good stuff on Winter's Bane. That album and the first JP album he did are Ripper's best work imo.

#2 in my Stormspell Records Six-Pack:

Fire Strike - Slaves of Fate


Brazilian female fronted traditional/power metal for fans of Warlock/Doro, Iron Maiden, Dio era Sabbath, etc.

#3 in my Stormspell six-pack...



YURI FULONE, "Your Kingdom Will Fall" Sword swingin, poser slayin' epic Power Metal from Brazil, for fans of Manowar, HammerFall, Blind Guardian, etc.

https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Yuri-Fulone-Your-Kingdom-Will-Fall-2017-Album-Review

Pretty good write up, as usual. I never heard of this guy til today but I wouldn't mind checking into him (or them) further.

Good stuff but these days the retro acts make me want to play the classics. I'm just old.

#4 in my Stormspell Records six-pack:

The second album by STEREO NASTY, an old school leather n' spikes metal combo from Ireland. Fans of Metal Church, Accept, Armored Saint, etc. should give'em a whirl.



https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Stereo-Nasty-Twisting-the-Blade-2017-Album-Review

Really does sound like a gritty Urban Breed which is a good thing. I need to check out more of these guys.

Their album should be out by mid-month. Stormy was shooting for the 15th of Sept. for this batch of releases.

It's October -- time to watch horror movies!!

I've written a couple of new horror movie pages recently but I've been falling behind on sharing 'em around.
First up, a re-examination of Dario Argento's Suspiria:

Excellent write up, sir. I've always found Suspiria to be a great movie (but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a masterpiece) and your review as rekindled my interest in watching it again. And I have yet to see Inferno. I'll have to see if I can locate that one.

Both of them are on YouTube (that's where I watched'em)... decent quality too.
