Cult Cinema Corner Premieres In Blaze Horror Glory


Brian Harris of WildSideCinema.com & Andrew Rose of DOA Blood Bath Entertainment spend an hour talking about the exploitation, trash, sleaze, horror and other cult/geek genres of cinema and literature with no-holds barred commentary. Special guests will join them from time to time. It truly is two filthy bastards with one stinking show that is so bad that it's good.


Do you know these guys? My horror heart hurts for you if the answer is no. That being said, I couldn't not introduce you to two of the best and the brightest in horror and indie horror review. On a personal note, Andrew has been in our corner since day one - screening 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' and premiering it in the US with the DOA Pretty Scary Blood Bath Film Fest, then bringing the final cut back to Blood Bath 2.

These guys know and love horror. To listen to their intelligent banter is to fall in love with horror all over again. It's like when your significant other does a drastic hair change, so it's the same thing but from a new angle and you're all like: bitch, you be looking fine. But 'bitch' is in reference to horror in this scenario and the gentlemen are the new look. I know you will dig, so without further ado - the premiere show of Cinema Cult Corner!

May little Patrick Batemans and Pinheads fly you to sweet dark places and macabre day dreams, boys and girls.

A Walk on the Wildside with Twisted Twins



Recently we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Wildside Cinema. It is always a great pleasure to be asked things for the very first time. It was fun, thoughtful, thought provoking, and very in depth asking everything from "Why a Dead Hooker?" to "If I could ask you one patently offensive and sexist question meant to denigrate you and belittle your hard work, what would it be?" We can't even begin to say how much we appreciate the time and thought that was put into the questions. The result is an interview that cannot be missed.

Here's a little aperitif...
WC: Certain parts of the horror genre, namely the whole “Scream Queen” label, seems to have been hijacked and assimilated for mainstream commercial consumption. Even the indie world is exploiting it. How do you feel about the whole overblown “Scream Queen” trend? And what do you feel qualifies one to be a “Scream Queen?”

JS: There’s something very sexy about the image of a “Scream Queen”. People love to be scared and there’s a good reason for that. When you’re afraid, your body does the same things it does as when you’re turned on. Adrenalin is pumped into the blood stream, breathing becomes more rapid, and pupils dilate. And we all know sex sells. It’s a no-brainer that Hollywood would latch onto the “Scream Queen” label. What better way to present a sexed up image of horror to the masses and get them to perk up and pay attention?

SS: Scream Queen nowadays is synonymous with some hot chick who dies in a movie. It used to mean someone like Jaime Lee Curtis was in Halloween – that powerful female force that somehow always survives the murder rampage and kills the crazy motherfucker. I want it to become like that again. I think the genre is over saturated with these fluff-piece horror films with no thought or imagination. We need a Freddy or Pinhead to mix shit up again. No more remakes, just honest to goodness sweet original nightmares to thrill people at the theaters.
