31 to the 3rd Power - Day 16: The Crazies (1973)

Over the next 31 days I plan on reviewing MY PERSONAL FAVORITE HORROR FILMS... and I am going to do it in exactly 31 words!

Today's Entry (10/16/16) - The Crazies (1973)



A small town sees it's inhabitants begin to descend into madness for no apparent reason... right around the same time the US Army shows up to "contain" a situation. Coincidence? Nope...

Halloween Hangover

Hey gang... thanks for sticking with us during the 2nd annual CCD All Horror Week! It was a great success once again, with many members of the CCD family pitching in to bring you the best horror related posts on the whole 'Net! While there were over 30 great posts to enjoy, some things didn't make the cut. Not because they weren't any good... more because we simply ran outta time. So here is a conglomerate of some really cool Halloween/Horror related links for all of you guys like me who are desperately trying to hold on to October 31st... enjoy the bunch after the jump!

My Man Johnny Comes Through Once Again!!!

One of the cooler aspects of running this blog is that you begin to develop relationships with others who have similar interests as you. This is especially true of my fellow bloggers. My boy Cal at the Cave of Cool, Dave over at Exophrine, and Jeremy over at Popped Culture have made me feel great about the work I am doing here at CCD and motivate me through running their own awesome blogs as well (please check these guys out... you will love them!). But my closest friendship that I have developed so far has to be my boy Johnny Boots from the horror blog Freddy In Space. My boy is one of the most knowledgeable horror enthusiasts out there on the web, and I always get a kick out of reading his site.

God I love getting packages!!!!

Johnny and I began exchanging packages and memorabilia last year, and we often blow each others minds with the contents of packages that we send each other. I scored major points with Johnny by getting him a personalized autographed poster by scream queen Danielle Harris, and I also wowed him with a variant Freddy Kreuger toy that was in upside down packaging. He amazed me by providing me an etching of a Clint Howard/Ice Cream Man carving that was made for him. Yeah... we are both geeks! Anyway, I got another package from my boy this week and he has outdone himself yet again!

This package came with two items, one better then the next. The first was a box of 'Cereal Killer' cereal by Wax Eye. The particular brand was a play on the yellow boxes of Corn Pops/Honey Combs, entitled 'Eye Pops/Honey Chrome'. Very cool product... click the above link to see all the different boxes Wax Eye has to offer. The next thing was even cooler. It was a handmade voodoo-type doll in the form of zombie master George A. Romero!!! Artist Bob Dix created these dolls from scratch, hand painting each so that they are all unique in some way. Johnny sells these and many other cooky items in his Freddy in Space Online Store, but I got mine for nothing!!! Thanks Johnny. I got a package heading your way soon!!!!

Buffy Kicks Freddy Krueger In The Face!

Well not exactly...

The full cinematic intro to "Call of the Dead," along with some game-play, looks pretty great. It would seem the B actors are filming a Romero zombie movie, when a real outbreak begins.



George Romero as the all powerful Super Zombie! Nice. I really dig the whole style of this little project. Even the mock up poster is cool, with its old style one-sheet, folds and all.


And did you hear Sarah Michelle Gellar? She goes..."Let's SLAY some stiffs." You know.....cause......YOU knoooow.....she was on.....and that was when.....and it used to.....with the thing.....and now with chicks......come ooooooooooon.

Call of the Dead

Ack! Zombies!



A zombie bonus mode in a video game! How original!!!

...

Ok, standard cynicism aside, I can't help but get a little excited about the trailer for the new Call of Duty DLC. I'm not even really a big fan of FPS games, but I may have to just give this a whirl.



A great Grindhouse homage trailer, featuring some cool genre actors. The song from Return of the Living Dead being used makes me all tingly inside!

I'm sure the game itself will be littered with references and winks to the undead loving audience. The trailer itself is brimming with them. I mean Robert Englund even says..."This must be a nightmare"........Ya know.....cause he....come on....COME ON....youuuu know.....cause the guy...and he was......with the....SO FUNNY!
