Dark Night Of The Scarecrow 2

The wait...is over!

The Scarecrow is back with a vengeance.

On October 24, 1981, television audiences were terrified when they tuned into CBS to catch the premiere of Dark Night of the Scarecrow. This little made-for-TV feature developed into a cult icon and sparked an entire scarecrow-centric subgenre of horror films. More than four decades later, the scarecrow returns in an all-new frightening film, Dark Night of the Scarecrow 2.

Single mother Chris (Amber Wedding) and her son Jeremy (Aiden Shurr) moved to a small country town in Stubblefield County. While Chris begins work at the local country store, Jeremy starts to bond with the older lady (Carol Dines) that watches him after school. On her way home from work one day, Chris happens upon an old, weather-beaten scarecrow. Chris places a flower in its lapel and whispers in its ear. Little does she know that this seemingly harmless gesture awakens an evil from the past.

Written and directed by J.D. Feigelson, the writer of the original film, Dark Night of the Scarecrow 2 will be released exclusively on DVD and Blu-ray on May 10, 2022, from VCI Entertainment.

ALONE is "Fine"

Breakthrough Queer Artist ALONE Releases “Fine”A Song That Re-examines What Makes a Sexy Man Today 

“Fine”, the brand-new single from breakthrough Queer artist ALONE is out to expand the prevalent notions of sexuality, masculinity, and what it means to be a sexy man today. “There are many expressions of masculinity and they all can be hot,” the artist insists. Produced by ALONE and recorded in NYC with a full live band, the celebratory track, with its dark, sultry vibe, pays homage to 80s Rock strip songs but from an unapologetically Queer perspective. “’Fine’ is meant to get listeners in the mood for lovin’,'' ALONE reveals, “and my hope is that it liberates people to be vocal and proud about who they are and what turns them on.” ALONE’s “Fine” is available now on Apple Music, Spotify and all digital platforms.

"Fine" is ALONE's second release following his debut single "Everything" which has garnered over 50K views on YouTube. "Fine" departs from the bright, classic RnB style of "Everything" and introduces listeners to ALONE's darker side with a Rock-inspired production. "It's the kind of song that makes you wanna take off your clothes and give someone a lap dance," ALONE explains.  His powerful Blues-Rock vocals ride a dirty rhythm set by distorted guitars and a throbbing low-down bassline as the lyrics narrate a story of Queer passion. "I feel like today's culture looks at Rock music, including its Pop incarnations, as a 'straight' genre and I beg to differ," ALONE continues from his NYC home. "The Queer legacy of Rock 'n Roll dates back to its inception with artists like Big Mama Thornton and Little Richard, and has always been present through artists such as David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, and Freddie Mercury — it's time we reclaim it.”

ALONE, born “Alon,” was raised in Israel, in a small coastal town called Herzliya. His father died in military action when he was three and a half years old. He grew up in a household of women, with only his mom and sister. His musical influences were Prince, Grace Jones, George Michael and Sylvester.    “Growing up as a Queer kid who never fully fit in anywhere, seeing a Queer artist like Sylvester was a beacon of hope,” ALONE reflects. “It made me feel like I wasn't alone, like there was a future for me and that there were others out there like me.” 

Upon moving to New York City, Alon changed his name to ALONE to reclaim the word; empowering its meaning from something sad and scary to independent and in control. “Being alone is one thing everyone experiences from time to time. There is beauty and strength-building in it. The binary concept that being alone is bad and being together is good is false. Both are equally important to our growth and well-being.”

ALONE’s “Fine” is available today on Apple Music, Spotify and all digital platforms. Visit his website and follow ALONE on Instagram @ TogethALONE.  

Film Buff Friday: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Kenneth Branagh leads an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Ian Holm, John Cleese and Aidan Quinn in his definitive cinematic version of Mary Shelley's classic tale of gothic terror. At the turn of the 19th century, visionary scientist Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) embarks on an obsessive quest to conquer the mysteries of human mortality. But his hubristic bid to create life out of death goes hideously wrong, and succeeds only in begetting a deformed monster (Robert De Niro). Horrified by what he has wrought, the scientist attempts to destroy his creation, but fails. Rejected by his creator and shunned by the world of man, the tormented creature swears vengeance against Frankenstein and his family. As the monster begins to enact his murderous revenge, Victor must face a terrible reckoning with the tragic consequences of attempting to play God. Mary Shelley's seminal novel is one of the most adapted books of all time, and this retelling faithfully goes back to the original source, lushly transforming the story's twin themes of love and death into a darkly operatic gothic romance. Unlike many versions of Shelley's novel, Branagh's adaptation understands that Frankenstein's misbegotten creation is as pitiable as he is monstrous, and never loses sight of the human tragedy lying at the core of its horrific tale. Filled with sweeping, atmospheric visuals and powerfully emotional performances from an award-winning ensemble of acting talent, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein stands as a landmark interpretation of this enduring masterpiece.

Hump Day & Chill

Nicolas Cage & Laura Dern
Wild At Heart

Lately I have been ruminating on the films of David Lynch. "Yes" DL's work has been very much on my mind of late. Why? I do not know, but hey it's there renting space in my head and I gladly accept it.

Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to I think what may be my favorite Lynch film Wild At Heart starring Nicholas Cage & Laura Dern.

Mulholland Drive is pretty neck and neck with it, but this one has the edge for moi, for the simple reason that at it's "Heart" (pun intended) it is one of the best love stories ever to grace the silver screen.

While the film is bonkers in the way only David Lynch can do it, there is a romantic, honest quality to Cage & Dern's relationship that makes this movie tick.

So why not get comfy and Hump Day & Chill with Wild At Heart today, you know I'll be hitting the couch and doing just that this evening...
