Welcome to October Spooky Flix Fest 2012…if you dare!

Tweet For those of us in the northern hemisphere it’s that special time of year again – a magical time when the earth starts her annual metamorphosis that sparks celebrations around the world.  The air begins to cool and crisp as the days grow shorter and the soothing darkness brings the splendid harvest moon.  The leaves change from deep summer…

Deep-Fried Cheese Movie Review: Bigfoot (2012)

Tweet By Jason D. Grooms There are scant few creatures that speak louder or bigger to the American fascination with monster lore than the super-hairy, unkempt, woods-tromping, barefooted beast we all know and love.  No, I don’t mean me.  I’m talking about the one and only Sasquatch or as you common folk might refer to him, Bigfoot. OK, I admit…

Deep-Fried Cheese Movie Review: Arachnoquake (2012)

Tweet   by Jason D. Grooms When I say “New Orleans” and “disaster” what comes to mind? Hurricane? Flooding? Levies breaking? Giant tidal surge? Katrina?  Not this time mon cheri. This time it’s something worse.  Something way worse.  It’s Arachnoquake.  I bet you didn’t think of an earthquake that unleashes giant, fire-breathing dungeon spiders did you?!  You heard me. Fire…

Return of the Living Deep-Fried Cheese

Tweet by Jason D. Grooms After a long hiatus, the Deep-Fried Cheese column is returning. Why?

And…

Deep-Fried Cheese: Movie Review – Night of the Lepus (1972)

Tweet by Jason D. Grooms There are few things more terrifying than an enormous man-eating creature with a penchant for terror and a lust for wanton destruction.  It’s even worse when that creature has enormous teeth that can chew through steel and attacks in droves with no emotion or remorse for the mayhem they cause.  Now what if those creatures…

Deep-Fried Cheese: Movie Review – The Alligator People (1959)

Tweet by Jason Grooms Have you ever worked with someone and thought, “I wonder if they have anything interesting or strange in their past or maybe there’s a deeply repressed memory in there somewhere?”  Well if you worked in Dr. Lorimer’s office, had a degree in psychiatry and a handy dandy syringe full of sodium pentothal, you would be in…
