2011 is a Year of Major Change for Apprehensive Films & The World

I used the Dracula Lives cover on left to represent change. I own this over-sized comic and thought there wasn't a better way to symbolize change than the cover art of the vampire bat morphing into Dracula!

2011 Has Been a Strange New World to Most Everyone.

- The Unemployment Rate in the US is at an All-Time High since the Great Depression.
- Disney Laid-Off 250 People from their Distribution Division.
- A Hamburger Restaurant is Opening in Folsom CA, near where I live, More than 800 People Have Applied for Jobs There.
- Nasa Laid-Off 9,000 People.
- The Government Planned to Create 18,000 New Jobs, They Succeeded in Creating 1,800...

The list of depressing fact goes on and on, way too long to mention them all here. It's time for major change and it has to start from the bottom up, if you're waiting for it to "Trickle Down" you'll die poor, old and still waiting. Things need to change at the base line, Entrepreneurs are the future. People who can create their own income. If your old sales channel isn't working, find a new one. Keep turning over rocks, there will be gold under some of them. Swallow your pride and do what needs to be done. Post up next to a RedBox and start selling your indie movie hand to hand. Start selling your CD's out the trunk of your car. Look at getting your product into niche markets that may be flourishing in a poor economy. Medical Marijuana Dispensaries anyone? Move forward, the VHS Boom is gone, but something just as exciting could be right around the corner, but we have to get off our asses and find it. If we don't initiate change on our end, the rich will just become wealthier and the poor will die.

It's Midnight on Friday The 13th!

So technically people will say it's Saturday the 14th, but in my heart it's just into the midnight hour of Friday The 13th! In celebration I figured I'd post a picture of one of the most odd Friday The 13th toys ever manufactured. And yes I own a pair of these, but the packaging is long gone.

Jason Voorhees and Victim Spitballs. Spitballs were the rage in the late eighties for about a year. There was also a Freddy Krueger and Victim Spitballs set and a bunch of GhostBusters Spitballs. Enjoy the pic! I love the selling point of an 18 foot squirt!

First time on DVD! Out of print for over a decade -- a cult classic from the director of TOWNIES and the creators of the KILLER NERD films! "Despite its low, low budget, this kinky tale of a pair of likable lesbian serial killers is an inventive combination of HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER and PINK FLAMINGOS. Pearle and her butch lover Wanda make a modest living picking up a variety of men and, right before the seduction, blowing their heads off and making off with their wallets. An ironic thriller loaded with shockingly graphic splatter effects, sly humor and a surprise ending. Lesbian empowerment has never been so unnerving for the males in the audience!"

H.G. Lewis Classic Wizard of Gore on DVD in Stock at www.TheGrindHouse.Net

We have the H.G. Lewis classic Wizard of Gore on DVD in stock at http://www.thegrindhouse.net/ Get it today for only $12.95.

Is it magic? Or wholesale slaughter? Montag the Magnificent (Ray Sager), The Wizard of Gore, is a seedy small time magician with a shocking stage act. Hypnotizing pretty young women from the audience to be his obedient volunteers, Montag then proceeds to mutilate them in a series of Grand Guignol illusions. A woman is cut in half with a chainsaw, another is drilled through the stomach with a giant punch press, a metal spike is driven through one gal's head, and two ladies are forced to swallow swords. Trouble is, after the show, the "illusions" become all too horribly real. Blood, guts, and offbeat surrealism in another crackpot classick from "The Wizard of Gore" himself, director Herschell Gordon Lewis.
