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”...

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”...

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”...
