Oh well. Click HERE To Download Tracklisting Is As Follows: 1: ‘Welcome To Lunar Indistries‘ : Clint Mansell ‘Moon’ 2: ‘The [...]
So, I did this little tribute to Jamie Smart’s ‘Bear’ comic recently and lo and behold, it got posted the other day on none other than BEARFOO.COM ! It was an idea that Mr Simon Stone and I had been working on for a while and it’s really cool to see it up alongside all [...]
I was startled when I discovered this recently. I was never aware up to now that our old friend Dwain Esper (Reefer/Sex Madness) was the man who acquired the rights to ‘Freaks‘ in the late 1930′s. I always knew that it was initially disowned by Tod Browning’s studio. In fact, it had a very damaging [...]
The infamous tale of Jane Bradford ‘The Cocaine Fiends’ aka ‘The Pace That Kills’ (1936) is a rather high quality affair. The sets are quite resplendent and the performances higher than one might initially expect from one of the ‘Cautionary Tales’ that we have been watching sofar. The gangsters are well presented James Cagney types, [...]
‘Human Wreckage‘ was an alternate title for ‘Sex Madness‘, I found this beautiful rare poster in a book recently and thought I should add it to our ongoing collection of Exploitation goodies.

Zombiehamster Mixtape #14 is a special selection of songs that make me think of my Lady P, who this is for. However, there is a distinct possibility [...]
This is a very good interview with Zombiehamster favourite Bruce Campbell. Not only does he get to do a bit of his regular schtick, but he also gets a few nice little digs in at the movie industry. He voices concern over the state of Hollywood’s output in a very truthful, eloquent manner. His cases [...]
‘The Wolfman’ (2010) had originally been scheduled for a release last Halloween; however, it was put back several times and now finally sees the light of day over valentine’s weekend. This can only be good news for anyone who didn’t fancy seeing ‘It’s Complicated’ or something with Sandra Bullock in it (Seriously, why is that [...]
If it were the case in the 1930’s that the success of a man could be attributed to his acquisition of midgets, then Jed Buell was the Donald Trump of his day. ‘The Terror of Tiny Town’ features an ‘All Midget Cast’ of none other than ‘Jed Buell’s Midgets’. Yes folks, step right up to [...]
