Back in April we shared the news of Sam Sherman's Retro Road Show "Camp Classics" Tour that is bringing Al Adamson's Dracula vs. Frankenstein and Brain of Blood to drive-in movie theaters across the United States. We now have details on additional locations that have been announced for the tour, which will now feature a new blood donation PSA in which actor Zandor Vorkov (aka Raphael Peter Engel) reprises his role as Count Dracula for a good cause:
"After almost a fifty-year absence from the Silver Screen, Charlottesville resident/ actor Raphael Peter Engel (aka Zandor Vorkov), who appeared in Al Adamson’s and Sam Sherman’s camp classics, Dracula Vs Frankenstein (1971) and Brain Of Blood (1971), has decided to return to the Big Screen as the original blood seeker, Count Dracula. However, this time it is for a worthy and heroic cause. In light of the Covid-19 crisis and the...

There’s a lot of Al Adamson floating around the horrorsphere right now thanks to Severin Films’ gargantuan box set, Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection. While I don’t have that set (yet), after watching the fantastic documentary Blood & Flesh about him and his works, I was itching to bed down with Al. This brings us to Brain of Blood (1971), a one part Frankenstein, one part espionage, all parts goofy fun that is so entertaining I am down for whatever next comes down the Adamson pike.
Distributed by Hemisphere Pictures, the Philippines-based company that made the Blood Island films, Brain of Blood was made to seem like a continuation of the series; having not seen any of those either (I Know), I can’t vouch for the similarities. However, I can say that what they did produce is drive-in fodder of the highest order, with enough ridiculousness to spill over to another screen.

While the Covid-19 pandemic is currently keeping cinemas from opening their doors, this summer could see a resurgence in drive-in movies that allow attendees to enjoy films from the comfort of their cars. It's fitting, then, that producer/distributor Sam Sherman will bring his eclectic catalogue of movies on a drive-in road show this summer, featuring Al Adamson movies such as Dracula vs. Frankenstein, The Blood Island franchise, and more!

April 9th is set to be a fun day for cult film fans (but perhaps a bad day for their bank accounts), as we have tons of great titles headed to Blu-ray and DVD this week. Scream Factory is bringing The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires home on Tuesday, and for you giallo aficionados out there, you’ll definitely want to add The Iguana With The Tongue of Fire to your personal collections as well. Agfa is resurrecting Blood Lake this week, and Severin is keeping busy with their impressive Hemisphere Box of Horrors set as well.
Other notable home media releases for April 9th include Moon Child, The Amityville Murders, Matriarch, and The La Llorona Curse.
Blood Lake: Special Edition
Blood Lake is the most fascinating -- and stupefying -- shot-on-video slasher that ever escaped from 1987. A group of unhinged party animals, including adolescent horn-dog Lil' Tony, embark...

Severin continues to do the devil's work by releasing grindhouse classics that I never thought would see the light of day on Blu-ray. Following their release of the Blood Island trilogy last year, Severin has announced the "Hemisphere Box of Horrors," collecting five titles from Hemisphere Pictures, including Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, starring Christopher Lee!
"On April 9th, Severin Films is steering the ship beyond Blood Island and straight into the heart of darkness. The Hemisphere Box Of Horrors is bursting at the seams with all the wild, unhinged madness you can handle, with each film newly scanned in 2K/4K from the best – and often only – complete elements available.
Though best known for their legendary Blood Island Trilogy, the Philippine/U.S. production/distribution company Hemisphere Pictures was also responsible for some of the most provocative and insane films of the ‘60s and ‘70s drive-in/grindhouse era. The...

Sometimes in life good and bad things come in threes. Luckily for us this week, WWE has been on the good side of things with programming and the trend continued into the Main Event and Nxt. Let’s begin with the Main Event from my old stomping ground of Dayton, Ohio and the Nutter Center.
The number three is quite prevalent at the beginning of the show. Not only is our opening the featured contest a six tag but we have the return of the three-man booth. Let me discuss that for a minute, I thought the pairing of Cody Rhodes, the Miz and in Matthews worked well together. This trio had great chemistry and gave great insight to the matches. Further showing that commentary so is important to the overall aesthetic to the product and how it’s sometimes a detriment in the wrong context.

Everyone knows talking in a movie theater is totally obnoxious. We go to the movies to get lost in a good story, not to listen to some rude d-bag yapping at the screen like these guys, right? That’s usually the idea. But with ticket sales declining in the past few years, some theater owners have discovered that sometimes letting people yell at the movie screen might actually not be such a terrible idea—and in some cases, might even enhance the experience. “I’m always cracking jokes when I watch movies, either with friends or alone, so why not do both with an audience?...
