Another zombie comic on the horizon from the guys at Terminal Press conceived by Adam Miller and Rich Woodall. Titled ZombieBomb!, this comic is due in January 2010 and will be an anthology of zombie goodness featuring the work of over 50 writers and artists to bring “three to ten pages in length and spotlighting the absolute depths of zombie horror to the offbeat to straight up comedy.” And they are not joking. Shawn McManus (Swamp Thing, Sandman, Fablesfables reviews), Neil Vokes (Marvel / DC), Todd Dezago (Spiderman, Tellos, Perhapanauts), and Craig Rousseau (Captain America, Iron ManIron Man reviews, Perhapanauts) are just a few writers and artists who provided their talent to the full color comic. You can get a lot more info from Cinema-Suicide’s Bryan White, who also contributed one of the stories about “three scuzzy pillheads who follow a little old lady home to steal her meds only to find out that her rickety old house contains a very dark secret.” Be sure to join the Facebook Fan Page if you want to show support and to stay up-to-date with the latest ZombieBomb! news. Personally, I never seem to tire of the rotting gut-muncher, so I cannot wait to see how this turns out. Continue on to see some ZombieBomb! artwork. [Read more...]

This is not a review of the surreal film from Chester Turner titled Black Devil Doll From Hell – that’s coming later. No, this is a review of the Lewis Brother’s Black Devil Doll. An extremely offensive, hilariously sleazy chunk of blaxploitation about a girl named Heather (Heather Murphy) and her ventriloquist puppet. A doll that happens to be possessed by Mubia Abul-Jama, a Black Power Revolutionary Party leader who was recently executed for murdering 15 Caucasian women. Heather’ s troubles began when she started screwing around with her Ouija board, unwittingly allowing Mubia to escape Hell and inherit the body of the puppet – transforming it into a black devil doll sporting a beret and afro. Heather falls in love with Mubia but ultimately is unable to satisfy his insatiable desire for white ass. So she agrees to invite four of her friends over under the guise of hanging out; the ultimate goal being a way for Mubia to seduce the women and have sex with them. But Heather is in for a big surprise when she learns Mubia’s ways of seduction are not quite…normal. In fact, they are downright depraved. Black Devil Doll is a film chock full of rape, crude humor, shit, puppet cumshots, golden showers, tossed salads, necrophilia, homosexual necrophilia, puppet sex as well as cold-blooded murder. In other words, everything you could want in a film, or for some of you, everything you want to avoid. [Read more...]

The projectionist could’ve run this film backwards, and I don’t think I would’ve noticed. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is a HollywoodHollywood reviews attempt to massage author Darren Shan’s 12-part saga of vampires and teenagers into a viable, cash-cow franchise. Spanning the first three novels, Assistant doesn’t tell a story as much as it hurls everything that isn’t nailed down against the wall to see what sticks. Labored and often tedious, the picture is a friendly stab at Burtonesque macabre antics, but director Paul Weitz is in way over his head trying to juggle huge portions of the grotesque and the epic. 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) is an average teen with good grades and a love for spiders. Finding a flyer for the Cirque du Freak sideshow, Darren decides to attend with impulsive best friend Steve (the limited Josh Hutcherson), finding [Read more...]

What would the world be like without horror remakes? Probably a happier place. The StepfatherThe Stepfather reviews was a 1987 genre classic, constructing a tremendously suspenseful chiller out of a fine collection of untested actors and mere pennies for a budget. Take out a few synth stings and fogged lighting techniques, and it still holds up damn well today, elevated by Terry O’Quinn’s masterful take on demented Robert Young envy. The new Stepfather is 100 minutes of dopey behavior and filmmaking inanity wrapped up tight in a bland, gutless PG-13 wooby, taking a proven premise and watering it down to a parade of nonsense created only to tickle gullible teen audiences. We’ve danced this dance a hundred times before, but it never ceases to kill a few brain cells and leave behind deep scratches of impatience on the armrest. [Read more...]

Just doing a little brain bleach and figured I’d take a break from all the murderin’ and such and post a movie trailer or two that checked out today. Starting with the remake of George Romero’s 1973 horror film, The CraziesThe Crazies reviews. In the remake, a small Iowa town’s citizens must deal with their friends, family and neighbors suddenly going insane after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. The film will be directed by Breck Eisner, the man directing the upcoming Flash GordonFlash Gordon reviews and CreatureCreature reviews from the Black Lagoon flicks. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think. Personally, I never really liked the original, but whatever. [Read more...]

The Bush (Jr.) Administration has done away with The United States as we know it. Just elected to its 4th term (With Arnold Schwarzenegger as Vice), they have disbanded Congress, banned public nudity,and entered into wars with most of the world. Faced with a situation in which there are not enough soldiers, a re-animation virus is developed in a government laboratory. The virus breeches containment of course, and soon the entire laboratory is overrun with zombies. A team of marines is sent in to gain control; one is bitten and later dies inside a strip club named Rhino. When he awakes as a zombie he bites Kat, the star dancer, who is transformed into the walking dead – and becomes a better and more popular stripper than when she was alive. The rest of the girls come to realize that they will have to transform as well, or face the prospect of losing all their customers to Kat. [Read more...]

It’s been a while since we have any book reviews here, so it just seems fitting that the one book I felt like writing anything about happens to be a companion piece to one of my favorite movies – TrickTrick reviews ‘r Treat (our review). But this book goes far past some slick advertisement for the film. It is a big, glossy, beautiful advertisement for the film – with the added bonus of being a nice addition to any of you HalloweenHalloween reviews lovers out there. Sure the book delves into the making of the movie and detail almost every aspect of Trick ‘r Treat from its inception to its filming, but like the movie, this book also touches on a lot of the traditions associated with Halloween and how they originated. JackJack reviews o Lanterns, black cats, trick-or-treating; it’s all discussed in this book. But it doesn’t end there. As an added bonus, the book acts as proverbial trick-or-treat bag stuffed with various treats in the form of comics, masks, stickers, posters, postcards and pumpkin stencils. It is a clever addition that makes Trick ‘r Treat – Tales of Mayhem, Mystery, and Mischief a must-have for fans of the film, as well as fans of Halloween. [Read more...]

The trailer for the latest classic horror icon to get the reboot treatment has finally arrived, and it doesn’t look too bad. Fans of the Nightmare series are hemming and hawing over Robert Englund not being the actor adorning the green-and-red striped sweater, fedora and legendary glove but personally I don’t care too much one way or the other. I think Jackie Earle Haley will do a fine job. However, this is Platinum Dunes we are talking about and they hare responsible for rebooting\remaking other horror franchises like Texas Chainsaw MassacreThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre reviews, Amityville Horror, The HitcherThe Hitcher reviews and Friday the 13thFriday the 13th reviews. I thought they all stunk. Not because I am against remakes or feel they take away from the originals as in some cases remakes are damn good (The ThingThe Thing reviews, Hills Have EyesThe Hills Have Eyes reviews, The FlyThe Fly reviews, Dawn of the DeadDawn of the Dead (2004) reviews anyone?), but simply because these movies were God-awful pieces of shit.  So no matter how decent the following trailer looks, I just cannot shake the feeling that like their previous entries, this movie end up sucking ass.

Well, I am sitting here after taking my Spawn back to his Incubator’s house and playing some BatmanBatman reviews Arkham AsylumBatman: Arkham Asylum reviews on the 360, and felt it was a good day to make a completely bullshit post about a very, very important subject. Me. Well, that as well as let everyone out there know that you have not been imagining anything, the posting at Dreamindemon.com has waned over the last week or so. This is mostly in part to myself and Jaded both getting sick. Jaded probably picked up something from one of the biker bars she hangs in every morning, but seeing as I am pretty immune to all known forms of illness I am pretty sure I just suffered a form of cosmic karma. So read on for a few bullshit items that have nothing to do with crime whatsoever, but fuck it. It’s Sunday. [Read more...]

Grief, death, and rusty scissors collide in Lars von Trier’s AntichristAntichrist reviews. A metaphysical sojourn with cinema’s loudest spoilsport, the picture stuns and sickens, almost daring viewers to keep watching as it articulates the ravages of the unwound mind, filling the frame with demented acts of unspeakable violence and deeply considered thematic stimulation. For fans of Trier, Antichrist is a return to his once irresistible provocative appetites, shamelessly exploiting suffering and misogyny to generate the outrage that fuels his daydreams (and bank accounts). It’s a pitch-black torrential downpour of pain, and should only be approached by those willing to allow Trier 100 precious minutes to play his madcap mind games. [Read more...]

Ben is down in the dumps after finding out that the girl he loves has been using her vagina to host another man’s penis. To help him get out of the breakup slump that followed, his friends take him along to Mardi Gras figuring the best medicine for the broken heart is a healthy dose of sex, drugs and rock and roll. To their dismay, Ben just isn’t into it and instead of partaking in all the things that make Mardi Gras worth dealing with the drunks, pick-pockets, rivulets of piss shimmering on the crowded streets, he’d rather take a lame Haunted Swamp Boat Tour. Dragging his friend Marcus along with him, they join some other tourists on a late-night boat ride through the Louisiana swamps and directly into the stomping grounds of a local legend who don’t take too kindly to strangers.

Somewhere in Midwestern America was a place called Conover County. When the old book was opened, and the runes therein used in haste and ignorance, a place of farms, simple folk, and small-town dreams became a den of monsters and nightmare. North 40 is the story of those who survived and came to confront an even greater evil on the horizon – one that wouldn’t just consume their flesh, but their souls as well. That’s the official description of Wildstorm’s first issue of their new horror comic, North 40. A six issue series detailing what happens when a county full of rednecks, trailer parks and farm boys are visited by evil forces from another dimension. [Read more...]
