The Peoria Plague (1972 radio drama about zombies)

I just found this, I haven't even listened to it yet. I hope it doesn't suck.

War of the Worlds, circa 1971

This is really cool. A 1971 radio broadcast of WotW. Listen to the intro too, it's really interesting.

The Official Post Your Pic Thread

Surprisingly, we haven't had one of these here yet, so here goes! The imdb folk will be familiar with this thread, as there have been 487 thousand of them on the horror board, but they never last long because some ugly fuck gets mad jelly at how many good looking peeps there are and reports it frantically (probably while jerking off to it), and alas, it's always inevitably deleted. Not to worry, for Trash Epics is secure!

NO JOKE REPLIES. You think you're being funny, but you're really just making us roll our eyes. It's like that joke that's been told a hundred times before and you're sick of hearing it. Don't do it.

I'll start it off in a follow-up reply, so people don't immediatley see my ugly mug every time they click on this thread.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

Da rape scene wuz hot. I wish there wuz more.

But seriously, it was much better than the original sequel, imo.
It's probably one of the better 2000's sequels, and is often overlooked. 6/10

Do you have a favorite ballad?

I always thought ''Master of Puppets'' was overrated, with the exception of itself (title track), and the next two tracks.
Welcome home (Sanitarium) is my all-time fave ballad.
This is probably due to the fact that I've been institutionalized 4 times, so it hits close to...home.
Do you have a favorite ballad, and is there a personal reason?

Your thoughts on Event Horizon?

Paul W.S. Anderson has made some crap films over the years, but he really made something special with Event Horizon. Sure, it borrows from Alien, The Shining, Forbidden Planet, Solaris and even Hellraiser, but it still manages to come across as its own beast and a damn creepy one at that. Sam Neil's transformation is an acting masterclass. I love it.

The Walking Dead or Z Nation?

Which zombie TV series do you prefer? I prefer Z Nation myself because it's a lot more fun and isn't so damn brooding like The Walking Dead is. Okay so it's produced by Asylum films, known for all their shitty mockbusters and it airs on SyFy, a channel that lost all credibility years ago, but it's better than you'd expect if you go in with an open mind. It knows it's cheap and rolls with it. Episodes tend to go ridiculously over the top, but that's why it's so much fun. There aren't any of those dull, filler episodes that The Walking Dead has.

As far as The Walking Dead goes, do I hate the show? No, there's been some great episodes here and there, but it's just been so damn inconsistent as a whole. It's not the be all end all when it comes to zombies either. Only watching The Walking Dead doesn't make you a "zombie expert" either. The spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead has been a dull affair thus far too.

Vlad the Impaler, for toddlers

Holy schla fucking MOLY. You guys would not believe this. This graphic novel was displayed right at the eye level of toddlers, in a library where I volunteer. It was even in the childrens section, with the picture books (like Curious George, Frances the Badger, etc).

The author and illustrator talk about it, here:

I think a lot of people here might get a kick out of this graphic novel, if you can find it at your library. Hopefully it won't be in the toddlers section. Anyway, they don't really say this in the interview, but it is actually really funny, in several parts, in a demented and dark way. I laughed out loud, a few times, as I was reading it today. Vlad doesn't just impale his enemies, he is also a lusty, bawdy, Captain Morgan type of guy, vigorously boning his way through the boudoirs of 15th Century Eastern Europe. With occasional breaks for impaling his enemies, of course.

Had to share.

How many Steele movies have you seen?

I recently saw The Ghost (1963), and saw She Beast (66) a year ago, was pleased with both.

The Ghost-6/10
She Beast-6/10

Horror-themed bars?

Have you ever been to a horror bar? I bet that would be a lot of fun. I don't think one exists in my city. https://popcornhorror.com/horror-themed-bars/
