Hel and I spin some tunes from The Devil Dogs album BIGger BEEF BONANZA!, a record I borrowed from Coney Island Hotdog here in Worcester Ma. We also discuss comics and upcoming horror
Today we look back at the actors we lost over the last two weeks. There have been a number of people in the horror and sci-fi community that have passed away and I think they deserve their due. Two of them come from Rob Zombie films such as The Devils Rejects and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.
Tom Towles 1950-2015
Towles was well known to horror fans for his roles in Zombie’s films House Of 1,000 Corpses as Lieutenant George Wydell. He was also in The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Prophecy II, and was Otis in Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer. He also portrayed Harry Cooper in the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.
Geoffrey Lewis 1935–2015
Frequently appearing in Westerns during his early career, he is best known as a frequent fixture of Eastwood’s films. His appearances include Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, Any Which Way You Can, Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, and High Plains Drifter. He also had a supporting role on the short-lived Alice spinoff Flo, from 1980-81, for which he earned a Golden Globe nomination. He appeared in such films as Night Of The Comet and Maverick and TV shows including Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Hawaii Five-O. He also started in two Rob Zombie Movies mentioned above and an episode of the X-Files.
Robert Z’Dar 1950–2015
Robert Z’Dar, the cult actor best known for his role in the Maniac Cop series, died in Pensacola, Florida, on Monday. He was 64.
Z’Dar, who appeared in more than 100 films, was a cult movie favorite, often starring as a villain. He gained popularity when two of his movies – Soultaker and Future War – were spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
On DVD and bluray last week is one of the years best films. From the company that brought us Caroline and Paranorman, Laika brings us Box Trolls. The story of a boy Eggs who is adopted by junk collecting Trolls who live below the Victorian city of London. After meeting a young girl Winnie he discovers the world of humans and how his friends fish oil can and the other trolls are being hunted down. The movie has humor scares and life in it. With a real story of prejudice that can resonate today. Don’t always fest what’s different sometimes it can surprise you.
Its done with that same stop motion animation that the company is famous for, making this one of the most well put together animated movies of the year. Do you love those old Rnnk and Bass Holiday TV specials you will enjoy Boxtrolls. Based on the book Here be Monsters by Alan Snow from 2004.
The movie features Ben Kingsley, Ellie Fanning, Nick Frost, Toni Collette,Tracy Morgan and new comer Issac Hempstead Wright.
The movie came out in late September of last year and now on DVD and blu ray. The disk is loaded with bonus material, commentary with the film makers, five different featurettes about how they spent 2-3 years making this movie. Don’t forget this whole movie is stop motion clay and plastic animation with very little CGI used. I love movies like Big Hero 6 or Monsters University but this is the type of movie you really have to give great credit to the developers for.
I will be at the Arisia convention over the next four days in Boston Massachusetts. The convention takes place at the Westin Water Front Hotel. Its a great con that focuses on authors and artists and
My cohost Pamela Isley will be at Your Mini Con in Connecticut this weekend as well.

I would like to hit my mile stone by New Years Eve
We been on their air since 2007 and the blog has been up since 2009.
Help Radio of Horror end the year with a bang.
This past week we lost Glen Larson creator of many great tv shows including Magnum PI, Quincy, and sci-fi greats like Battlestar Gallactica, Night Rider, and Buck Rogers in the 25th century, and the 6 Million Dollar Man. He may never have touched apon the horror industry as far as I can tell but what he did for sci-fi tv is simply amazing. He died of Cancer this past Friday at the age of 77. His last bit of work was Caprica.
Now you maybe wondering why Arthur Rankin is also listed as ai just found out and several other people heard this as well, he died back in January. The reason its so relevant now is his and Bass work really hits home at this time of year as we enter the Holiday season. He worked on Thundercats and The last Unicorn and The Hobbit animated movies. He stepped into the Horror genre with Mad Monster Party. I didn’t watch that one till I was an adult but the Christmas special Santa is coming to Town is one of my all time favorites.
Both really are a tremendous loss to the industry and both deserve to be remembered for what they did. Their legacies will forever live on as more and more children and adults discover their classic timeless work.
Tonight on the show Victoria Price the daughter of the late great Vincent Price, she discusses with us her fathers legacy and more.
Vincent Price is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and beloved horror movie actors in the world. Any fan of classic horror movies knows the name Vincent Price as synonymous with elegance, humor, talent, worldliness, and charm. Throughout his over 60-year movie career, appearing in countless classic horror movies, as well as classic films outside the horror genre, Price established himself as one of the most popular actors–beloved among both his fans and his peers.
We also talk with John one of the heads of Super Mega Fest which is next weekend in Framingham MA. Its at the Sheraton Hotel tickets are on sale now. Check out the awesome line up on the list below
I fly solo tonight as Pam is out sick but will be back next week.

Back before all we had was X-men the movie and Blade we didn’t have the bevy of Comic Book mayhem we have today. No Walking Dead or Arrow. We were two years away from Smallvile and Spider-man really exploding the media of Superheroes.
In 2000 we got Witchblade the made for TV movie and then two season over the summer on TNT, staring Yancy Butler. The show and movie came out on DVD a few years back and really is worth checking out. It ended on a cliff hanger as do most shows that get canceled before they were suppose too.
It was decent and followed the comic very well and even brought some much needed seriousness to what was at the time a T and A bad joke. The show didn’t have the gauntlet tear Sarah’s clothes apart and Butler actually looked like a NY cop pretty and bad ass. Not the porn star style body Sarah has in the comics.
Unfortunately the show was canceled and rumors are the star was drunk a lot on set. Look it up I’m not a gossip column.
Years went by and we never saw another version until 2006 Funimation the anime company teamed up with Top Cow to produce an anime show set in the future with a new bearer of the Witchblade. Masane Amaha is a single mother trying to survive in Neo Tokyo and has been chosen as the new bearer of the mystical gauntlet. She ends up working for the owner of the Dojo Group in Japan and has to put a stop to their hay wire Neo Genes cyborgs. Its boobs monsters and bloody good times. I mean LOTS OF BOOBS cleavage and no nudity BTW. Its anime what do you expect ART?? Wait ignore that last part some anime is Art.
This is a decent anime show even if its silly and filled with silly extra characters. The Witchblade feeds off Masane energy and she gets very aroused from killing to the point she is in ecstasy. Watch Frozen the anime show its very similar.
The show is on blu ray and DVD and worth picking up. Its filled with bonus material galore. Including interviews with people who worked on the comic book like Top Cow co creator Mark Silvestri.
Tonight on the show we have from the new Anchor Bay thriller Directed by Malek Akkard the producer behind Halloween is Sarah Butler. She was also in the remake of I spit on your Grave. Then we have someone who I have admired Bensen Yee the man behind BWTF.com one of the first Transformer websites to launch back in the 1990s. Its an honor to have him on my show. We will play some music in honor of Wayne Static from Static X. May he rest in peace.
Still recovering from Halloween and the ups and downs of the RI comic con will be discussed.
Ok Radio of Horror Review of the ABC of Death 2
The follow up to the original film makes you rethink your fragile existence with 26 more interesting short films of bizarre deaths. Not all of these are horror (though many are). The plots range from sadistic killers to vacations gone bad to children’s fantasies gone awry. Most are live action, but some are claymation or animated. Some send chills down your spine while others are quite poignant, and another references The Three Stooges.
Some of Radio Of Horror’s favorites:A is for Amatuer gets the ball rolling with an action packed romp about a beginner level assassin. The most bizarre short was D for Deloused directed by Robert Morgan who is known for directing Tool music videos which are also bafflingly creepy. Believe that this stop motion animated freakshow of beheadings and bugs will make your skin crawl. E is for Equilibrium switches the tone to something completely different with castaways…

I had to reblog THIS one from my friend Dan Kimmel, you can hear my co-host and I review this weekend on the show and on you tube.
Movie is playing at Blackstone Cinema Delux and Leominster Entertainment Cinema.
With Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor. Written by Ehren Kruger. Directed by Michael Bay. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and brief innuendo. 165 minutes.
“2001: A Space Odyssey” was 160 minutes. “The Godfather” was 170 minutes. There is no reason on Earth (or beyond) that TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION needs to be 165 minutes. It is a bloated, incoherent mess that may divert children (and grown-ups who enjoyed playing with the toys) who have turned the last three films into international hits. It’s a prime example of why box office is not a good measure of quality.
Written by Ehren Kruger, the once promising screenwriter who now makes a lot of money for “Scene: Good robots fight bad robots,” sets us up with Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), a Texas inventor who is about to lose his home. It’s five…

I didn’t know who or what this character was untill an issue of Savage Dragon where him and Dragon fight a giant mummy and a bunch of Vampires. In 2004 directed by Guillermo del Toro staring Ron Perlman the movie came out. I was hooked, I still have not read every single Hellboy comics but I do like the ones I have read. There were two animated movies put out as well and those are really good. Hell boy has a spin off book and I have not read it but I heard its most excellent. BPRD. Hellboy currently is the king of Hell and a lot of people think its leading up to a big THE END of Hellboy story line as the world he lives in is a disaster. The comic is published by Dark Horse who also publishes Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel/Faith. If you go to your local comic book store you can pick up a Hellboy 20th Anniversary sampler. Hellboy was created by Mike Mignola back in 1994.
