Appreciation post for makeup FX legend Tony Gardner's
@alterianinc
work on 1991's Lovecraftian flick "Cast a Deadly Spell". This is one of my favorite movie gargoyles, performed by actor Michael Reid MacKay, who also played The Mummy in The Monster Squad.

w/ the teens James Cameron's epic film 1984's "The Terminator". Went to see this with my family on opening night at our local SoCal drive-in. It's most definitely one of my favorites. The practical effects was amazing in the 80s & still beats most of todays movies.
Whatโs your favorite Bigfoot/โSquatchploitationโ film?
I have many favorites from "Harry and the Hendersons" and "Legend of Boggy Creek", but "Primal Rage" from 2018 is awesome.
Four awesome films from legendary Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven.
RoboCop (1987), Total Recall (1990), Showgirls (1995), Starship Troopers (1997), Starship Troopers (1997)
Saturdays nights during the 80s/90s was the coolest time. It meant "Tales From the Crypt" on HBO, leftover pizza &

For us Gore Hounds it was cable horror TV at it's finest. This Robert Zemeckis produced gem had crazy makeup FX & stories.

What horror movie from your childhood stole sleep from you?
I was way to young in the early 80s when my parents watched An American Werewolf in London on Showtime. I snuck out of my bed, and watched most of it from the staircase. I regretted it for weeks.
What horror movie from your childhood stole sleep from you?
I too lost some sleep just from watching a commercial of Nightmare on Elm Street... but for me, I walked in on the TV part of Poltergeist real young. Left the biggest stain on my sleep...especially with a TV in the room
What was your favorite thing to do on Saturday nights back when you were a teenager?
Mine: The year was 1989. Eating leftover pizza while watching "Tales From The Crypt" on HBO.
Who else had & loved CineMagic? I had a subscription back in the 80s
This amazing magazine taught me so much about special effects including makeup, miniatures, and puppets.

Farewell to legendary independent Hollywood director/producer/innovator Roger Corman. I never did get a chance to meet him, but thanks to Elvira discovered his films during the very early 80s, and
since than have enjoyed watching them immensely.
Post your favorite director & your favorite film by them.
I have many favorite directors, but no one can't beat uncle Stuart. Just like his films, he was one of a kind.
