Thursday Movie Picks - TV Edition: Horror Themes/Scores

-


 It's the last horror theme of the month over at Wandering Through The Shelves and we're finishing it off with TV show themes! I have easy favorites in this category, let's get to them.


1) Stranger Things - This is one of my current favorite TV themes, I never skip it. It's a catchy tune.


2) The Walking Dead - Sometimes I'm nostalgic about how much I used to love this show, before AMC, Scott Gimple and Norman Reedus tanked it. At least I'll have the early season openings.


3) Tales from the Crypt - I used to watch this with my sister all the time when we were kids. I didn't always understand what was going on, but I enjoyed it.

    I can't get Stranger things and not a lover of Zombies but the music is eerie. I did watch a few episodes of Tales From The Crypt and they were not bad at all. The music is eerie but has humor too.

      Tales from the Crypt had a lot of humor in it. Stranger Things is great. Walking Dead was good at one point but that point has long passed lol

    We share a pick with Tales from the Crypt. I love that show. I love the theme for Stranger Things as I need time to watch that whole series.

    I picked The Walking Dead too, good tune too bad the series went downhill.

    By the way, you haven't been submitting you links to my blog post for the last two TMPs. Even if the inlinkz is closed, my comments section is always open for link submission.

      Yes! I was out of the country. My posts had been going up as scheduled posts. Now I'm less busy so I'll remember.

    I watched The Walking Dead for the first three seasons, decided I didn't care about those people any more, and stopped. I don't miss it.

      Season 4 is where it majorly fell off. Then the first 3 episodes of season 5 are some of the greatest episodes they've ever made, then it falls flat again. It's a frustrating rollercoaster.

    Stranger Things is a great pick for the theme! I love the theme and also the whole rest of the soundtrack

      Yes! I love the Kate Bush resurgence going on this year too because of Stranger Things.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
