CANNON MONTH 2: Blood Bath (1976)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was originally on the site on August 10, 2021. Man, ever since I’ve obsessed over Night Train to Terror, I’ve been searching for a movie that has the same absurdist edge and amateurish energy that feels like a million monkeys had been working a million hours in a million room’s worth of typewriters […]
CANNON MONTH 2: Blood Feast (1975)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This isn’t the Herschell Gordon Lewis movie. No, instead the Dewey-Friedland Cannon released The Red Queen Kills Seven Times under this title.

POPCORN FRIGHTS: Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters (2022)
Directed by Jim Demonakos (founder of Seattle’s Emerald City Comic Con) and Kevin Konrad Hanna, this engaging documentary is about the world of Mike Mignola and the world he’s created around Hellboy.
