CONVENTION MEMORIES OF HORROR's FALLEN GIANTS

Episode #96 of MY HAUNTED HEAD (originally recorded as Episode #63) has apparently been collecting dust down in the vault for the past year or so. So we've dusted it off, and now bring you this extensive, (mostly) unedited walk down memory lane as Toddzilla and Matthew discuss all of the incredible film heroes whom we've met at conventions, and who are unfortunately no longer with us. Included are meetings with Stuart Gordon, David Hess, Gunnar Hansen, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Ted White, John Saxon and many more. Lots of great memories, and a few laughs along the way. Listen now on your favorite podcast app. RATE, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE!

ATTACK OF THE SEA CREATURE FEATURES FROM 1989!

It seems like every few years movie fans are treated to a heaping helping of deja vu, when Hollywood releases a series of similarly-themed films. In 1996, there was TWISTER and its doppelganger TORNADO starring Bruce Campbell. In 1997 we got DANTE'S PEAK and VOLCANO. 1998 brought us the extinction-level comet crisis films DEEP IMPACT and the macho cheese of Michael Bay's ARMAGEDDON. So for episode #98 I thought I'd talk about the wave of undersea creature features of 1989 which included DEEPSTAR SIX, LEVIATHAN, THE ABYSS and LORDS OF THE DEEP. Plus the new book by R.G. Henning about FRIDAY THE 13th Part 3, Blue Öyster Cult's new release 'Ghost Stories', the Texas Frightmare Weekend countdown watch list and more.
