I'M HOWLIN' FOR YOU BY: ZOMBIE 'MR. SAXOBEAT' ZANE


What’s up horror fans that sit up all night thinking of ways to become one of the cool kids. Guess it’s time to post something. I’ve been a bit behind as of late, burning my candle at both ends I guess. But what are ya gonna do? Complain. I would but who really gives a fuck.

Man, I ate too much today. My stomach is full and I think I might need to take a crap. I’ll try to get through this post first though.                                                              
                                                                                         
                                                                         
10 minutes later....


Ok, I couldn’t hold it. I left a log. Is this tmi? I’m sorry. Let’s get to today’s post shall we? I was gonna save this post until we did out werewolf week, but as I said, I’ve been really busy so fuck it. I’m gonna post it now.

What I got here is ten really kick ass werewolf movies you should check out.  I kinda think that werewolf movies get overlooked a bit.  Not sure why. I like ‘em. I always have.  But I’m not talking about those lame-ass Twatlight werewolves. Nosir! I’m talking the eat your ass, slash your throat, fuck you up kinda werewolf.  So here, take a look at these films. See what you think of my list. If you like it, you rock! If you don’t, then fuck off outta here and make your own list. Just joking. It’s my inner Chef Ramsey.  Love me some HK!  Ok, here's the list....
                                                                         
10.  GINGERSANPS 2: UNLEASHED (2004)   The second installment in the ‘GINGERSNAPS’ trilogy. Not near as good as the first one, but sequels rarely are.
                                                    
9.  UNDERWORLD (2003) It kinda has a love story theme going on, but the werewolves in this movie are bad-ass!  They would kick the shit out of Jacob and the other Twatlight wolves.

8.  NIGHT OF THE WEREWOLF (1981) This is very cheesy, very over the top, but it has a ton of nudity!  Not that that matters...Well, kinda it does.

7.  WOLFEN (1981) This one here is kinda on the arts-fartsy side. Not your typical werewolf film, but it’s worth 2hrs of your time.

6. THE HOWLING (1981) Classic werewolf film! Plus it stars E.T.’s mom! What’s not to like?
                                                                

5.  THE WOLFMAN (1941) The grandfather of all werewolf films. This is where it all began. Universal monster movies really set the stage. Go look in our old shit, we did a whole month dedicated to old school horror. You’ll love it.

4.  DOG SOLDIERS (2002) This movie is really a fun watch.  Lot’s of killing, lot’s of gore, lot’s of foul fuckin’ language.  A great British horror movie, y’all. Look into it.

3.  GINGERSNAPS (2000) ...”Your gonch is showing...” A really different take on the whole werewolf thing.  Plus it’s a chick who turns into a wolf and not a dude. So it gets cool points there.  If you don’t see any of these movies on this list but one, this is the one ya need to see.
                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                
2.  SILVER BULLET (1985) A Stephen King adaptation that he actually wrote the script for. This is another five star werewolf movie and a must see if you haven’t already.  But really, if you haven’t seen this yet, ya got no bussy here. Go educate yourself lame horror fan and come back and see me another time.  On second thought, stay with.  Hang with Sasha and I. We’ll show ya the ropes.

1.  AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) That’s right, one more from 1981. This John Landis directed film is hands down the best. The transformation scenes are cool as hell, especially for its time. There’s enough blood and gore for the bloodthirsty viewers, this movie has it all. And if you like naked David Naughton...this film is perfect for you!  

Ok, there’s my list. I guess that’s all I got for you today, if you didn’t like this post, then I’ll try and do better tomorrow. Or maybe I won’t.  And make sure you go and trip with Sasha a bit. I hear she’s tripping on ‘shrooms and showing her box.


Before I get outta here, here's some cool werewolf images that I thought you may enjoy. So feast your eyes about and enjoy any of the other enjoyments (remember that line, sis?) on this page. Until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out!

HOWL AT THE MOON By: SASHA SLAUGHTER

Well yippie ki yay motherfu...Ohh heyy there! Sasha Slaughter here and since this is still classic horror month, Zane and I will be reviewing some classic movies this week. I'll be doing a review of The Wolf Man, so stay and check it out K?? The Wolf Man came out in 1941 and was directed by George Waggner.

After being gone from home for eighteen years, Larry (played by Lon Chaney Jr.) returns home after an unfortunate hunting accident claims the life of his brother. While helping his father put together a telescope he sees into the top floor of an antique shop and sees a pretty woman named Gwen. He goes to the antique shop and asks for earrings and then goes on to describe a pair that she had on her dresser that he saw through the telescope. She says they aren't for sale but she shows him canes. He sees one with a silver wolfs head with a pentagram on it. She tells him the legend of werewolves and teases her for believing in them. He buys the cane and asks to see her later that night at 8. As they are getting ready to leave they see gypsies coming into town. Just then Gwen's friend Jenny came around the corner and asked if it was ok if she came with them. They go to see the gypsies to have their fortunes told. On the way in to get her fortune told Jenny picks of boquet of wolfsbane.

Jenny wants to have her fortune read first so she goes into the tent and sets her wolfsbane down on the table. The male gypsy Bela (played by Bela Lugosi) tells her to cut the cards and then he takes the wolfsbane and throws it on the floor. He looks at Jenny strangely and looks down at her hand and sees a pentagram. The gypsy immediately orders her to leave and says to come back the following day. Larry and Gwen decide to go for a walk while Jenny is getting her fortune told. Suddenly they hear screaming and Larry runs over to see Jenny being attacked by a wolf. He fights it off and the wolf bites him before he beats it to death with his silver cane. A woman gypsy and Gwen take Larry home and explain that he had been bitten by a wolf.

The doctor and other men go back to the marsh to discover that Jenny had been murdered, her throat had been ripped out. They also discover the body of Bela across from Jenny, dead from a crushed skull. The doctor comes the following morning to examine Larry. Larry is told that they found his cane next to the body of the gypsy. Larry tells them that he didn't kill the gypsy, he killed a wolf. He insists he was bitten and shows the doctor the wound, but there was nothing there. Jenny's mom and other townswomen go to Gwen's fathers antique shop and accuse Gwen of being responsible for the death of Jenny. Just then, Larry comes in and they all leave because they believe he killed the gypsy. Larry is talking to Gwen when her fiance Frank comes in. Larry leaves quickly and Frank warns her to stay way from Larry because he's harmful.

Frank and Gwen go into town where the gypsies gathered to celebrate the  passing of Bela and they run into Larry. Frank invites him to play a game and Larry agrees. They are playing a game and shooting at targets with guns. Larry hits all of his targets until one of them is in the shape of a wolf. He shoots and misses and puts the gun down and runs away. He meets up with the gypsy woman she tells him that Bela was a werewolf and that Larry killed him. Larry is in disbelief and then the gypsy woman tells him that because he was bitten, he too will be a werewolf. She gives Larry a silver charm to wear over his heart to protect himself. The gypsy woman then tells all of the other gypsies that there is a wolf in town and they all pack up and leave.

Larry goes home and finds that he is turning into a werewolf. After the transformation is complete he goes into the graveyard and finds a man digging a grave and attacks and kills him. He wakes up the next day and finds dirty animal prints leading from his window to his bed and then sees a pentagram on his chest. He talks to his father and asks about the legend of werewolves. He then asks if his father believes in the legend and his father says that he believes that it is all in a persons head. Friends of Larry's fathers come over to discuss the wolf and Larry tells him that he believes it is a werewolf. He asks the doctor if he believes in werewolf legends and he says that mostly it's a mental illness that causes people to believe they are something they are not. Afterwards the doctor tells Larry's father that he belives that Larry is mentally and needs to leave immediately and go to a mental institution, but his father insists that Larry is fine and will stay at home.

Later that night, Larry wolfs out and is wandering around the graveyard when he gets caught in a trap that the townsmen set to catch the wolf. The men hear the trap and come to see whats in it. Before they reach him, the gypsy woman finds Larry and says a prayer and turns him back into a human. He escapes from the trap and tries to run away. Two of the men searching for wolf find him and he tells them that he's hunting the wolf also. He goes to see Gwen and tells her that he needs to leave but she insists that she go with him but Larry tells her no. He then sees a pentragram on Gwen's hand, which means that Gwen is his next victim and then runs away.

He tries telling his father that he killed the wolf which was really the gypsy Bela and that he killed the man in the graveyard because he is the werewolf. He father doesn't believe him and ties Larry to a chair so he can't go anywhere to prove that he isn't the werewolf. His father then goes with a group of men to hunt the wolf and he sees the gypsy woman. He begins to accuse her of filling Larry's head with lies when he hears a gunshot and men saying they swear they shot him. Gwen appears in the woods looking for Larry. The gypsy woman tells her that she needs to go with her to save herself from Larry but Gwen runs away. Larry escapes from his house and sees Gwen in the woods. He runs after her and grabs her but then his father.....

Ah ha!! I got you again! I'm trying this new thing where I don't give away the ending..we'll see how it goes. Anyway!!! Maybe you should check out The Wolf Man and see how it ends for yourself. This movie was pretty good for being from 1941, and I think it's actually the second oldest movie I've ever seen. The special effects weren't horrible, but they weren't great either, but it was the 40's so it's all good. Of course there was no nudity or blood or anything like that, but back then they didn't really do that sort of thing. There were 3 or 4 dead bodies, thats not too bad. Overall I'd give it a 2.75 out of 5. It kept my attention throughout and the plot was actually really good. And do not forget to check out Zombie Zanes stuff...he'll let you take a peak. =)


PS!! HERE'S A LIL SOMETHING FOR YOU TO WATCH BEFORE YA VAMOS!!
