Back in August 2008 I attended Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear.  While I didn’t get the best audio of this, it is audible.  It is a enjoyable Q&A, especially for fans of the film.  The composer talks about how the score was made and many more tidbits.  Black Christmas was filmed in Toronto and with this Q&A taking place in Toronto, not only local comes up, but a lot of the crew was able to join this panel.

Enjoy & Merry Christmas.

It’s no secret that I love Severin Films.  They put out HARDWARE on DVD & Blu-Ray for crying out loud.  They are a company that every genre fan should be thankful for.  Now, they have created a website to not only see their catalog but also offer stills for the films they carry.

Here is the press release:

LOS ANGELES, CA, December 14th, 2009 – Severin Films today announced the launch of their all-new website at www.Severin-Films.com.

The state-of-the-art site will include individual pages for the company’s 60+ DVD and Blu-ray releases, with each page featuring stills, trailers, film clips, press links and Bonus Feature excerpts. In addition, the site will feature up-to-date news, a full company bio, mailing list, retail links, exclusive offers, connections to Severin’s popular Facebook and Twitter page, and the option to sign up for a regular newsletter. The company also plans to host noted guest bloggers for weekly on-line discussions. The site’s construction was supervised by Severin’s Evan Husney and designed by Nada Advertising of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota and Laguna Beach, California.

“Severin finally has a website worthy of its films,” said Carl Daft, co-founder and CEO of Severin Films. “As our company has grown, the equally burgeoning fan and media support our releases have received has demanded we create an online destination as unique and provocative as the company itself. Welcome to Severin 2.0.”

Severin Films was formed in 2006 with offices in Los Angeles, New York and London. Their previous DVD releases include Richard Stanley’s cult smash HARDWARE, recent Goya Award winner Jess Franco’s MACUMBA SEXUAL and BLOODY MOON, Walerian Borowczyk’s IMMORAL WOMEN, the unrated Director’s Cut of GWENDOLINE starring Tawny Kitaen, Oscar® nominee Patrice Leconte’s international hit THE HAIRDRESSER’S HUSBAND, and Enzo Castellari’s original action classic INGLORIOUS BASTARDS.

Welcome to the first Diabolical Deal.  This will be a regular feature on Destroy the Brain and is part of what you will be seeing on the new site. 

This Diabolical Deal is courtesy of Amazon.com.  You can now buy the game DEAD SPACE on XBOX 360 or PS3 for $15!  Click on the console that you want to buy it.

Be sure to buy it via the links provided to help support DTB.

One show that I used to watch a lot growing up through my teens was KIDS IN THE HALL.  It was always on Comedy Central and sometimes, this lucky – but angsty – kid would get to see it back to back with MST3K.  A couple of weeks ago, I heard rumblings of a show that will be showing up in Canada called DEATH COMES TO TOWN that was created and includes the Kids in the Hall troupe.  For the past week or so, this clip was limited to Canadians only.  Funny or Die has come through and provided it to everyone!

 

Today only, Tanga.com offers The Thing: U.S. Antarctic Outpost Station T-Shirt in four colors (Grey pictured) for $7.99 plus $1.99 for shipping. That’s the lowest total price we could find for this T-shirt, inspired by the classic movie “The Thing.” It’s available in sizes S to XXXL, although sizes XXL and above cost 99 cents more.

J&B Whiskey not included.

This December, I am giving YOU control over Destroy the Brain!

For the month I will be taking suggestions on at least 8 movies (2 movie reviews per episode with 4 episodes in the month) to review for DTB.  If there is anything you want me to cover that I haven’t, now is the time to suggest it to me.

Also, have you ever wanted to shoot the shit with me.  Maybe debate over a film that I gave a high ranking on that you thought was absolute crap or vice versa, you now have that opportunity.  I would prefer that if you want to co-host to have Skype for the best quality.  However, we can try it over the phone if you do not have Skype.

If you want to participate, click on the graphic off to the left to take the survey.

Can’t wait to hear from y’all!
