Re-visiting Rob Zombie’s Halloween II
Seven years ago, on Halloween night…or, well actually, it was like in August I think, we watched Halloween II, the sequel to Rob Zombie’s divisive Halloween remake. Both Joanna and I hated it. So, of course, we had to watch it again and see if our initial hatred was warranted or if, with the passage… Read More ›
BP Podcast, Episode 18: Redemption Viewings for Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween II’ & ‘Satan’s Little Helper’
Every movie deserves a second (or third) chance, right? Sure, why not. So, this week, we continue our October celebration by re-watching two movies we did not care for
Meet The Spiders: Alice Cooper’s Garage Punk Band
This is not breaking news or anything, but Alice Cooper was once in a 60s garage punk band. In fact, most of original Alice Cooper band were. They were called The Spiders and they kicked ass. Now, aside from their name, there was nothing too spooky about the band, but Alice is the king of… Read More ›
Halloween Décor: Come on in!
Aside from gorging on candy corn and pumpkin beer while watching Halloween and/or Trick ‘r Treat, there is no better way to get in the festive mood than by decorating your house, apartment, room, car, office, whatever.

A William Castle Triple-Feature
For my mom’s birthday in August, I bought her a bunch of old William Castle movies and promised that I would take a day off from work to submerge ourselves in these spooky (mostly) black and white delights.

I don’t really know exactly why I have such affection for this movie…but I do. On paper, it sounds terrible. Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks send a group of… Read More ›
Fanboys: Totally a Halloween Movie!
Okay, Fanboys (2009) is definitely not the first flick that pops into your brain when making a list of the movies you’re gonna watch in October, but it’s totally a Halloween movie. The film kicks off at a Halloween party. October 31, 1998. Three friends, dressed as Darth Vader and two Stormstroopers, are reunited with… Read More ›
Battle of the Heavy Metal Halloween Anthems!
In my mind, heavy metal and horror have always gone hand in hand. You don’t have to like one to like the other, but the aesthetics, themes, ideas and content are so similar in both. So it’s not surprising that there are a good lot o’ metal tunes that are specific to Halloween. Really, just… Read More ›
Bloody Popcorn: The Kinda-Sorta Recipe Video
I’ve been wanting to make a video for our site for a long time—just needed to muster up the courage! And this past weekend, in the name of Halloween, I did. After having a couple drinks.
