Halloween Snacks - Fright Bites

Halloween is just around the corner and with that comes the Halloween novelty snacks. This year we get Snack King "Fright Bites". Tortilla Chips in the shape of Pumpkins, Ghosts and Bats. So good they're SCARY...

Now if someone over at Snack King can figure out how to keep the chips in the shapes of Pumpkins, Ghosts and Bats and not get a bag of all broken bats it would be much better. They are not as salty and don't taste as good as some of the other brands but, these orange, black and white tortilla chips do taste ok and will get you in the Halloween mood. We here at Monsters A Go-Go give them our seal of approval.

Enjoy the snacks...

Rob Zombie’s TCM Underground Schedule

TCM Welcomes Auteur Filmmaker and Music Artist Rob Zombie as Host Of New Cult Movie Showcase on TCM

Turner Classic Movies is taking a walk on the wild side as it welcomes auteur filmmaker and legendary rocker Rob Zombie as the host of the network's newest weekly movie showcase, TCM UNDERGROUND. The late-night franchise, which will feature off-the-wall movies chosen and introduced by Zombie, is set to launch in Friday October 13th.

"TCM UNDERGROUND will serve as home to some of the truly visionary cult films that have been made over the past century, from stylish horror movies to offbeat black comedies," said Tom Karsch, executive vice president and general manager for TCM.

Among the movies set to be featured in the TCM UNDERGROUND are Russ Meyer's iconic Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, horror master George Romero's The Crazies, Ed Wood's Bride Of The Monster and Brian De Palma's creepy Sisters, as well as Leonard Castle's offbeat The Honeymoon Killers, the story of which also serves as the basis for the new thriller Lonely Hearts, starring John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Salma Hayek, Jared Leto and Laura Dern.

Zombie has made a name for himself challenging audiences by stretching the boundaries of film, music and publishing. He recently took film to a new level with his critically acclaimed House of 1000 Corpses and its high-octane follow-up The Devil's Rejects, and he is now working on his next film project, the animated horror film The Haunted World of Superbeasto.

Left In Darkness - Coming To DVD Sep. 19th

Stuck between a rock and a hard place? Try being stuck between Heaven and Hell!

Poets have written about it. Painters have tried to imagine it. But exactly what does happen after we die? Is there a Heaven? Or perhaps the question to ask is: Is there a Hell? From the fertile mind of legendary television producer Stephen J. Cannell ( Demon Hunter , “21 Jump Street”) and Steven R. Monroe, the director of It Waits , comes the provocative new horror film Left In Darkness , materializing on DVD September 19 th from Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company. SRP is $19.98 and the DVD features enough value-added supplements to occupy this life – and the next!

Starring Monica Keena ( Freddy Vs. Jason, “Entourage”), David Anders (“Alias”) and veteran horror actor Tim Thomerson ( Trancers, Dollman ), Left In Darkness illuminates the story of Celia (Keena), a troubled girl whose tortured past places her in spiritual and physical limbo. Her mother died in childbirth, and she always felt responsible for the tragedy. When her father disappeared, her grandparents raised her. As she got older, her sense of guilt grew deeper. And on the night of her 21 st birthday, Celia is drugged, raped and dies of an accidental overdose at a wild college frat party. But for her, it's just the beginning: Trapped in a netherworld between sanctuary and damnation, Celia must now battle the demons – including hordes of horrific Soul Eaters – that prowl the Afterlife. Is the spirit of her recently deceased grandfather ( Thomerson ) trying to lure her to an eternity of suffering? Can her guardian angel ( Anders ) safely lead her to the other side? Is there any way to go towards the light when your soul is Left In Darkness ?

Viewers should find the following special features on the Left In Darkness DVD enlightening:
• Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1), enhanced for 16x9 TVs
• “Inside The Darkness” Making-of Documentary
• Director Commentary “In The Trenches” with Director Steven R. Monroe and Line Producer John Duffy
• “My 21 st Birthday”: Cast and crew interviews
