Juicy!

Makin' News
Lizzo
I'm breezing into Saturday like...

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, Don't say it, 'cause I know I'm cute (ooh, baby)" Juice, Lizzo

"Yes" Lizzo and Myself have this in common, I'm feeling her today, thus she is my spirit animal of this moment, right here, right now.

Bear witness to bad ass Lizzo arriving not in a convertible, but on one for her performance on the Today Show in NYC.

"I'm like chardonnay, get better over time (so you know), Heard you say I'm not the baddest, bitch, you lied"

Preach Lizzo! If anyone tells you that your aren't worthy of being the baddest bitch today give them a smackdown!

Booyah!

Film Buff Friday: Two Evil Eyes


TWO EVIL EYES 
3-Disc Limited Edition / 4K Restoration coming October 29th

A double dose of terror from the directors of DAWN OF THE DEAD and SUSPIRIA

Pre-order HERE

Two Horror Legends, One Film!

The Masters of Modern Horror - George Romero and Dario Argento - bring you an unprecedented pair of shockers inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. In Romero's The Facts In The Case Of Mr. Valdemar, a conniving wife (Adrienne Barbeau of THE FOG) and her lover use a hypnotic trance to embezzle a fortune from her dying husband, only to receive some chilling surprises from beyond the grave. Then in Argento's The Black Cat, a deranged crime scene photographer (Harvey Keitel of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) is driven to brutal acts of madness and murder by his girlfriend's new pet. But will this cunning feline deliver a final sickening twist of its own?
 
Martin Balsam (PSYCHO), E.G. Marshall (CREEPSHOW), John Amos (THE BEASTMASTER) and Tom Atkins (NIGHT OF THE CREEPS) co-star in this wild horror hit that also features grisly makeup effects by Tom Savini (MANIAC).

Michael's Musings

Michael Shinafelt
"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" -Peter Finch, Network 1976

Never has a quote from a brilliant film seemed more relevant than now. Sidney Lumet Directed what was then considered a satire. Oh how times have changed prophetic would be more exact. Faye Dunaway was brilliant in this as well. This is my current mood, and I own it.

I'm sorry the old Michael can't interact with you now. Why? Because he's dead. Yep, here we go minions

Your Mom likes to be tied up...the more you know

I don't like your little games (or your big ones)

Can I just say the BH 90210 reboot is wildly entertaining? I just said it, so there!

Bitches, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

Shelby is a debutante, don't be Shelby she is boring AF

Thinking about karma not drama (seriously drama is for losers)



If you haven't yet take a trip "Over The Rainbow" you know that place where happy little blue birds fly...

Hallelujah I'm a Witch - I'm going to do you like I want to

"As per usual, super awesome time to be a Jewish person! Also HARD PASS on non-Jews telling Jewish people how to behave/think also fuck this human vomit who is currently infecting the white house #shalom" - Leslie Grossman


Woman Crush of the Week - Christina Hendricks

The one word that sums up most things? Whatever!

I dream of Electric Taco Trucks with Rice Krispie treats

DAVID ARCHULETA TO DEBUT NEW SINGLE (AND VIDEO) “PARALYZED” AUGUST 27

NEWSLETTER FANS TO RECEIVE STREAMING LINK BEFORE OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE

2019 CHRISTMAS TOUR DATES ON SALE NOW

 David Archuleta has announced he will release his brand new pop single “Paralyzed”on August 27, 2019.  “Paralyzed” is the first new music from David since 2017’s “Postcards In The Sky” release.  Fans that sign up for David’s newsletter here: DavidArchuleta.com will receive a link to stream the song before the August 27 release date. 
The video for “Paralyzed,” directed by Brian Petchers (Meghan Trainor, Sena, Wiz Khalifa) was shot in Brooklyn, NY at a historic home from the 1700’s called The Lott House and will also premiere August 27 on David’s official YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/theofficialarchuleta/ Fans will be able to watch the premiere of the video live that day with David. 
“Paralyzed was a bit of a venting song. I get frustrated watching myself hesitate so much, and not let go of things from the past that I know I should. A lot of those past things are fears, anger, resentment, and I see how they all form excuses in my mind of why I can’t move forward. I watch as missed opportunities fly by and I just do nothing, because I freeze. It gets me so frustrated! This song is the battle with those paralyzing thoughts and I intend to be the victor.” Says David

Monday Motivation

Your Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile
Michael Shinafelt
"Make a difference today just by smiling. Wake up with a smile, make someone else smile, and smile before you lay down tonight! Have a happy and positive day!"
In case you haven't put the pieces together today's Monday Motivation is to smile. Honestly it's been a rough go for me of late recovering from surgery with three more weeks left to go. This being stated one of the things that has kept me buoyant is my ability to smile at random people I see out and about.
This makes them and yourself feel good 😃
So let's kick off this week with a goal to smile at everyone you make eye contact with this week. Trust me it isn't that difficult and it's a gift that keeps on giving and it doesn't cost a thing except use of your jaw muscles.
Are you ready mouth? Start smiling....

Walkin' After Midnight...


MVD Entertainment Group and Rue Morgue Magazine To Launch

MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY

A New Horror-centric Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) Service

Hey horror fans, like me, check it...!!!

MVD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP and RUE MORGUE have teamed up to launch the MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY, a curated Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) service specializing in Extreme Underground, Taboo and Cult Horror movies. Now genre fans can gain access to a film library of shocking underground, outrageous gore, creature features, cult classics and much more. Those with a taste for the weirdest and wildest reaches of genre cinema will not be disappointed!
 
"The bigger platforms are catering to the masses and have gone puritanical in many cases, making it very difficult for filmmakers to reach their audience," says Ed Seaman, C.O.O. of MVD ENTERTAINMENT GROUP. "MVD has a great deal of this type of content and when it is live on major platforms, it performs really well. Maybe too well for some of the mainstream platforms."
 
MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY will also cater to more traditional horror fare as well, pulling from the thousands of film hours from in MVD's vast catalog. In addition, RUE MORGUE will also be finding and curating fresh and unusual content for the service.
 
"As larger streaming platforms continue to crack down on content, there's an urgent need to create a space for boundary-pushing films unencumbered by strangling content restrictions," said Adrianna Gober, Director of Programming. "As a lifelong horror fan, I'm proud and excited to be working with MVD Entertainment Group and genre champions Rue Morgue Magazine to bring Midnight Movie Society to the masses."
 
"We're thrilled to be partnering with MVD to give fans access to films that are becoming increasingly harder to come by,commented Rodrigo Gudino, President of RUE MORGUE.
 
Rob Hyman, MVD's Digital Director says, "Working with Rue Morgue is a dream so far. They are a household name amongst horror fans, and we anticipate our SVOD service and selection will be embraced by their fans."
 
MIDNIGHT MOVIE SOCIETY will be available for $4.99 per month, or $47.88 per year subscription, and will launch on iOS, Roku and web on Friday the 13th, September 2019.
