Silence of the Lambs: Looking Back at the Only Horror Film to Win Best Picture at the Oscars — Episode 146
Rewind of the Living Dead
06/14/23 • 128 min
In 1988, author Thomas Harris released what became his most critically acclaimed novel that had critics calling the book “utterly gripping” and describing his character Hannibal Lecter as nothing short of “pure evil.”
Even before the book hit store shelves, Orion Pictures and actor Gene Hackman purchased the rights to develop into a film. Hackman eventually backed out of the project, but a screenplay adaptation from Ted Tally was already in the works so he was encouraged to finish.
Jonathan Demme was eventually brought onto direct the film and he immediately fell in love with the book and then the screenplay with production starting only a few months later.
The film starred Jodie Foster as an ambitious young FBI agent tasked with exploring the mind of famed psychopath played by Anthony Hopkins with hopes of earning his help to track down a serial killer named Buffalo Bill...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to eat some liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti as we look back at the 1991 film “The Silence of the Lambs”...

From Dusk Till Dawn Review: Looking Back at Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's Vampire Classic —Episode 129
Rewind of the Living Dead
02/15/23 • 81 min
Famed special effects technician Robert Kurtzman — best known for his work on films such as “Evil Dead 2” and “Night of the Creeps” — developed a story for a movie he wanted to make but he soon realized he didn’t quite have the chops to actually write it.
So he hired a young filmmaker named Quentin Tarantino to take on that job. Tarantino had started earning buzz around Hollywood for his “True Romance” and “Natural Born Killers” scripts but at the time he was still jockeying a register at a local video store.
The $1,500 that Kurtzman paid him to write the script allowed Tarantino to quit his job and focus on filmmaking full time but he also made Kurtzman agree to provide the effects for a little movie he was planning to write and direct called “Reservoir Dogs.”
A few years later following the release of his second film “Pulp Fiction,” Tarantino was the hottest director in Hollywood but rather than stepping behind the camera, he decided to play actor while his friend and fellow indie maverick Robert Rodriguez directed a film that ultimately plays out in two parts — the first involves a pair of bank-robbing brothers on the run from the law and the second features them engaged in a showdown with a group of vampires...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to make some crosses, bless the water and the ramblers will get rambling as we review the 1996 film “From Dusk Till Dawn”...

Silent Night, Deadly Night Holiday Special — Episode 121
Rewind of the Living Dead
12/21/22 • 80 min
There was a time when studios would actually accept screenplay ideas from the general public and that’s how producer Scott Schiend got his hands on a short story entitled “He Sees You When You’re Sleeping,” which was written by a Harvard student named Paul Caimi.
The story centered around a killer Santa Claus and the concept was interesting enough that Schiend decided to develop it into a film.
Under the working title “Slayride,” numerous directors were targeted to lead the film including Sam Raimi, Albert Magnoli and Ken Kwapis but the studio was interested in working with television producer Charles Seller Jr., who had famously worked on the “Life and Times of Grizzly Adams” film and TV series.
Principle photography started in March 1983 in Utah with the movie centering around a traumatized young boy who witnesses a killer in a Santa costume murder his family and years later he decides to take up the same mantle to punish all those who misbehaved before Christmas...
In our special holiday episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to find out if you’ve been naughty as we review the 1984 classic “Silent Night, Deadly Night."

Hellraiser (2022) Review — Episode 110
Rewind of the Living Dead
10/12/22 • 95 min
Talks about a ‘Hellraiser’ reboot or remake had been in the works for years with original creator Clive Barker occasionally offering updates about the film.
Various writers and directors were pitched for the project for a franchise that had already seen a multitude of lackluster sequels. By 2013, Barker said he was set to direct and write the newest iteration of the series with Doug Bradley returning as Pinhead.
The project continued to languish away in development hell until 2019 when Spyglass Media Group got involved with David Bruckner hired to oversee the film after he found success with an underrated horror film called ‘The Night House.’ Bruckner ended up reteaming with the same writers behind that film with Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski penning the script for the latest version of ‘Hellraiser’ along with a new Pinhead that would be played by a woman named Jamie Clayton.
Fascinated by the chance to explore themes like possession and temptation, Bruckner unleashed an updated version of the franchise where a girl battling addiction comes into contact with the Lament Configuration and all hell breaks loose...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to solve the puzzle box and promise we have such sights to show you as we review the 2022 reboot for ‘Hellraiser’...

Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge Review — Episode 102
Rewind of the Living Dead
08/17/22 • 77 min
The 1980s served as the home to many great horror films but it was also a decade defined by sequels, especially when any movie found success with theater goers.
The immense popularity of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984 led New Line Cinema to immediately shift gears to a sequel that would ultimately be released less than a year later.
Unfortunately, original director Wes Craven declined to return despite being offered the gig because he found the script by writer David Chaskin just too ridiculous and he wanted no part of the next film in the franchise.
That’s when “Alone in the Dark” director Jack Sholder took over the project and he cast a relatively unknown young actor named Mark Patton in the lead role in a gender bending swap from a final girl to a final boy.
Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews from critics with some praising the performances from the new cast with others pointing out the overtly homoerotic themes that highlight nearly every major scene in the movie with one publication eventually calling the sequel “the gayest horror film ever.”
Set five years after the original film, Jesse Walsh and his family move into the infamous house where Nancy Thompson was once terrorized in her dreams except this new teenager is actually fighting off Freddy Kreuger from taking over his mind, body and soul...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to do some pushups and make sure the bird cage is locked as we review the 1985 sequel “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge”...

Barbarian Review: Is This The Scariest Movie of 2022? - Episode 106
Rewind of the Living Dead
09/14/22 • 87 min
The relationship between horror and comedy has really exploded over the last few years, especially with filmmakers like David Gordon-Green and Danny McBride developing a new “Halloween” trilogy and former sketch comedy guru Jordan Peele winning an Oscar and becoming one of the most popular directors in modern horror history.
The latest convert is Zach Cregger, who first came to fame through his own sketch comedy series called “The Whitest Kids You Know.”
It wasn’t until he read a book called “The Gift of Fear” that he got inspired to write a scene based on the subject matter dealing with little red flags women are encouraged to recognize when it comes to the toxic behavior of the men around them. That single scene eventually spiraled into an entire idea for a film where a woman arrives at a house she rented only to find it’s already been occupied by someone else...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to double check our Air BNB reservations and make a cup of tea as we review the 2022 horror film “Barbarian”...

Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors Review - Episode 104
Rewind of the Living Dead
08/31/22 • 97 min
Due to the critical failure surrounding “Nightmare on Elm Street 2,” New Line Cinema was hesitant to green light a third film in the franchise but when original creator Wes Craven decided to come back on board to help write the script, the studio decided to move forward with the project.
Craven’s idea centered around a third and final film that would conclude the series, especially considering he didn’t initially plan on making any movies past the first one. His original script actually involved Freddy Krueger crossing over to the real world and tormenting the actors making a “Nightmare on Elm Street” sequel.
The studio shot that down, although Craven eventually got his wish to make that film a few years later. Craven eventually teamed with writer Bruce Wagner to come up with the concept for the film, which initially started out as a much darker take on Freddy and the teens he was going after in their dreams.
Ultimately, the studio opted to go in a different direction with more outrageous dream sequences mixed in with some seriously dark humor. What resulted was a story about a group of kids locked away in a psych ward after each of them dealt with horrendous night terrors but it turns out they were all being haunted by the same man in their dreams...
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to crank up the Dokken and load up on hypnocil as we discuss “Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors”...

Pieces Review — Lost Episode Looking Back at this 80s Classic —Episode 131
Rewind of the Living Dead
03/01/23 • 66 min
The 1980s were a haven for horror cinema and that’s what led to exploitation and hardcore pornography filmmaker Dick Randall and Italian producer Roberto Loyola to get together and write a script for a movie under the pen name “John Shadow.”
The end result was a project called “Jigsaw” that eventually landed in the hands of director Juan Piquer Simon, who had just recently been approached to helm “The Last House on the Left” sequel but he passed because he felt the script was too boring.
That’s when he read the treatment for “Jigsaw,” which was somehow supposed to be made as a TV movie. Simon was so blown away by the script that he decided to help mold this into a feature length film.
What resulted was a gruesome, blood soaked film that was far more concerned with jaw dropping kills than anything that could pass as a coherent story.
Four decades later, this is a film that Eli Roth called a “glowing work of art.”
In the latest edition of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to rev up our chainsaws and put together a puzzle as we talk about the 1982 film “Pieces”...
