Autumn is here, and I got reviews up the rear!
Monster Mansion Memories
• Release Date: Available Now on DVD
• Written By: Andy Wolf
• Directed By: Andy Wolf
• Starring: Alan Milair, Bill Lape
Anyone that has read this column even briefly knows that I try and keep the spirit of classic horror movie TV hosts undead and un-well. Morgus, Zacherle, Vampira… I love them, one and all! But as much as I adore and try to emulate these greats of the preternatural past, I’m always amazed at how many more exist that I’ve ne’er heard of. Case in point: the subject of the doc Monster Mansion Memories, Dr. E. Nick Witty and his faithful servant Epal.
A low budget, regional horror program (based out of Syracuse, New York), Monster Movie Matinee still had a sense of lore, not to mention production value that was unheard of in programs of its kind.

Horror fans can rejoice this week as a slew of horror films that were submitted to the MPAA all got an R rating from the MPAA. No battles over an Nc-17 rating and this batch of films is clearly not meant for the PG-13 crowd either. Husk is rated R for horror violence and language. Stag Night (aka Stag Night of the Dead) is rated R for strong bloody violence, language and brief sexual content. The Trap Door is rated R for language, violent grisly images and brief sexuality.
Here is what info is known about each of these films:
Husk appears to be part of After Dark Films "Originals" lineup. The cast includes Devon Graye, Wes Chatham, C.J. Thomason, Tammin Sursok and Ben Easter. The crew is made up of Brett Simmons - Director / Writer (story) (screenplay), Stephanie Caleb - Producer, Limor Diamant - Producer, Moshe Diamant - Producer,...
