Deathdream

In honor of its 50th anniversary, director Bob Clark’s Deathdream (aka Dead of Night) makes its world-wide debut on 4K UHD and Remastered Blu-ray on May 21st from a brand new 4K restoration, overflowing with exclusive new and archival extras.  

Charles and Christine (Academy Award® nominees John Marley and Lynn Carlin) receive the tragic news that their son Andy (Richard Backus) has died in Vietnam. As Charles and their daughter (Anya Ormsby) begin to process their grief, Christine refuses to believe her son has been killed. Indeed, when Andy shows up at the front door soon thereafter, the family joyfully welcomes him home and chalks the whole thing up to a clerical error. As the days go by, Andy’s behavior becomes stranger and more erratic and when his true violent nature is revealed, sides are drawn in the family – setting up an unforgettable ending.

Inspired by the W. W. Jacobs short story The Monkey’s Paw, screenwriter Alan Ormsby and director Bob Clark created one of the first Vietnam vet parables, a film that Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called, “a potent and compelling thriller!”  

The 4K UHD and Blu-ray special features include audio commentaries with co producer/director Bob Clark, writer/make-up artist Alan Ormsby, and others; cast and crew retrospective interviews; restored theatrical trailer; extensive still galleries; and more.

Let's Go To "Hell Together"

Photo credit: Irvin Rivera

Singer-songwriter David Archuleta has revealed the official music video HERE  for his current hit single, “Hell Together.”

“The video (directed by Lily Judge) is a simple concept to portray the emotions of leaving a place you once felt as your purpose and identity but now no longer do. You know you’re supposed to leave but also feel hesitant and scared to leave a place that was what you knew and was your world. The dancing (featuring dancer Oliva Cava who has graced the stage with a plethora of renowned artists, including Anitta, J Balvin, Young Miko, and Marc Anthony) represents the energy of love that propels you forward into the next chapter of your life. It also represents my mom’s love and passion as she herself is a dancer.” says David

 

“Hell Together” HERE written by David Archuleta, Ryan Nealon, Sam Derosa (lovelytheband, Kylie Morgan) and Jordan Sherman (Niall Horan, Lauren Spencer Smith) debuted at #5 on the iTunes all-genre chart upon release with various Tik Tok videos going viral including this one of David and his mom  HERE and another with multi-platinum violinist & Youtube sensation Lindsey Stirling HERE. “Hell Together” with its massive popularity, has already proven to be one of David’s most riveting and most successful songs to date over his 15 year career.

Metro Weekly says - “Hell Together” is powerful and meaningful – qualities that are not always guaranteed when it comes to pop music. It shows a much more mature side of David Archuleta, who is not the young boy who appeared on everyone’s TV screens so many years ago. He’s a grown man, and one who is using his voice to expel his demons and help others with theirs.

 

David shares some insight about the evolution of the song - ""Hell Together" is inspired by what my mom said to me after I left my Mormon faith and religion altogether. It was a scary place to leave something that was all I knew and that gave me my purpose to live, but it was something I knew I needed to do as I felt a new sense and purpose for life. A few days after I publicly announced leaving the Mormon church my mom texted me saying she had decided to leave too. I was shocked as she was so devout. I asked what made her feel she needed to leave because she didn’t need to follow my example. She said - “If you go to Hell, we’re all going to Hell with you. We’re a family and we’ll always be there for each other, in good or in bad!” I was really moved by that.” 

 

"Hell Together" has a gospel vibe to it as it references the roots of church that are still very much a part of what has defined me despite the journey I’ve had of leaving my faith. It has an uplifting energy. Most people within the church would think you feel dark and lost leaving your faith, but that was not the case for me. I felt like I found myself! It’s meant to show the joy and how by leaving my religion is how I found a greater light. And, more importantly, how much it meant to still have a support system of family still there for me so I wasn't alone when at first I believed I was going to be alone.""

 

Just this past week David was invited back on American Idol to perform “Hell Together” marking the first time in a decade that he performed on the show.  Watch David’s triumphant performance  HERE

National Superhero Day

"Each year on April 28th, National Superhero Day honors superheroes, both real and fictional." 

Today in case you didn't guess is National Superhero Day...!

I'm not really going to add anything to the quite self explanatory explanation above.

But I will let you in on something personal about yours truly, when I was growing up I wanted to be Batman!

You read that correctly, those Batman comics were dark as night (get it? The Dark Knight?) Thus I am leaving you with my favorite Batman from my favorite movie about him Robert Pattinson straight outta The Batman!

This was the incarnation that captured the comic books that I read in my formative years.

We're Here

Guess Who's Coming To The Sewer???

It's the last Saturday of April 2024 and no this isn't a post about the Drag Queen show on HBO, it's about another group guys, horror icons in the sewer.

That's correct Minions Chucky, Jigsaw & Jason have all joined Pennywise in the art of sewer dwelling.

What? You thought creepy crawlers were the weirdest sight you've ever seen?! Well guess you never saw this one coming! 

Buckle up and gird your loins this last Saturday in April circa 2024 it's going to be a bumpy ride!!!

Cancelled

This always in fashion never out of style timely sentiment turned art piece is by the one and only Robbie Williams.

IMO this is what everyone needs to do from this day forward (if you aren't already) it's one of the best forms of self care you can administer to yourself. 

Cancelling someone, something or whatever it may be that is blocking you is not a negative thing in the least.

We all have a "You" that needs to not live rent free in our minds and once that "You" is cancelled well let me tell you how much lighter and free your bagge will be.

It will be the size carry on, no need to check anything in.

Michael's Musings

Time, Time, Time See What's Become Of Me...
Michael Shinafelt

"We think we have all the time in the world, then our bodies tell us differently" - I've been thinking about this quote I saw on Social Media this week. It gave me pause to reflect on how our bodies change as we age. There's been a lot of changes with my body as I approach the big 6-0 milestone.

Some are mildly daunting, others are interesting developments. Most importantly I have my health. Without that you don't have anything, cheers to everyone and their good health!

Don't get horny around me, I'm an empath, knowledge is power

Never trust a girl named Natasha, because Natasha spelled backwards is Ah Satan

FYI Tubi is currently 80's Slaher Movie Heaven, I am loving it!!!

Calm your tit. Just one tit. Leave the other one crazy. That's your party tit.

Personally I prefer getting teabagged to coffee

Choose your player, soft or hard tacos?

You're still alive, be proud of you

I guess you could say it was good, the more you know...

Woman Crush of the Week - Zendaya in Challengers. The movie has gotten great reviews not to mention Zandaya will look gorgeous in those super cute tennis outfits. Can't wait to see it!!!

Do the voice, do the voice. You know the one I'm talking about

Rewatched Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing hadn't seen it since it first came out. It was interesting to see a young Sharon Stone before she became SHARON STONE

Quote of the Week: “I don’t want to know who’s munching on anything.” - Lisa Vanderpump

I'm really not in the mood to live in current times today, so there!

Can we take a F#cking moment, that's all

Hump Day & Chill

For some unkown reason this week's Hump Day & Chill feels like eggplant.

Nothing really specific comes to mind as to why, it's simply an intuitive thang.

Besides we all know what eggplant is the symbol for on Social Media don't we? Oh yes we do and it's something that's on my personal menu every week.

Indeed...
