• Ooh Tombs of the Blind Dead! I...haven't seen it. But I have seen the third Blind Dead film, The Ghost Galleon, and lawdy I loved it. The aesthetics (and the gay) are right up my alley, and after seeing The Ghost Galleon I immediately wanted to inject all those shuffling, crusty Knights Templar films into my eyeballs. So why haven't I? Because I am waiting for the world to grace us with a Blu-ray box set. Has it been announced or even hinted at? No. But I have convinced myself that it will come to fruition one day, so I wait. It just makes sense, right? That DVD box set in the coffin-shaped package is long out of print. The movies seem scattered amongst different distributors and a couple have gotten modern-day releases. Anyone who is reading my Chilling Classics Cthursday series knows that pretty much every garbage movie has been reissued in like 10000k. So where are my Blind Deads in a box? WHERE? I'M WAITING.
• Thank you for letting me get my Tombs of the Blind Dead feelings out.
• Hey, The Uncanny! I just mentioned that yesterday. What a world.
• A reader on The Thing That Couldn't Die: "Taut little potboiler has more simmering under the surface than simply a disembodied head trying to find its body."
• The Victim is terrific: A made-for-TV film starring Elizabeth Montgomery, what more could you ask for?
• BESIDES A TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD BOX SET I MEAN
• Some of you imposed a ruleset on your submitted list: no "classics," all made-for-TV, that kind of thing. One reader included a shitton of Mexican horror films to get them some representation; I'd only seen a couple of them but they all sound intriguing and I'm fixin' to dive in. (Everybody knows that Mexican horror from all eras is lit and legit.) A couple of those titles appear in today's chunk o' list, so I guess it's time to start my homework.
