It Returns

2019 is shaping up to be a good year for Stephen King fans (like me). First the remake of Pet Sematary came out (which I haven't seen yet, but I plan to see it soon), then they released a trailer for Doctor Sleep, and now this trailer is released for IT: Chapter Two.

I like the casting of the adult versions of the Losers Club, including Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader. Jessica Chastain has worked with IT director Andy Muschietti once before, on another horror film called Mama. I'm really looking forward to seeing this cinematic showdown with Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård).

House of Darkness Redux

House of Darkness: New Blood was a goofy but fun horror movie that aired on the Lifetime network ("goofy but fun" pretty much describes all of their films).

Kate Stone stars as the Nancy Drew-type who get captured by the bad guys near the end.

She's barefoot throughout her abduction and tie up scene.

The evil cult leader takes this time to explain the cult's nefarious plans to the bound Kate.

But being the plucky heroine of a Lifetime movie, you think this shit's gonna stop our girl Kate? Oh, hell no.

You can view these horrors with Kate right here.

Shazam!

I enjoyed watching Shazam very much recently (I originally rented it, but liked it so much that I bought myself a copy). It's a perfect blend of a superhero story that's told with a lighter, cheerier tone but still takes its main threat seriously. Mark Strong was very good as the take-no-prisoners villain, Dr. Sivana, and Zachary Levi was perfect casting as Shazam.

Shazam even managed to pull off some really cool superhero moments, like when he changes into the main character on the rooftop of a building. And the super-powered battle scenes were very well done. Here's hoping they make the sequel soon.

Quiet time around the pool

The pool girls were hired to look good in and around the pool at the mansion of Mr. Eckhart. But today Mr. Eckhart has an unusual request for the pool girls. Find out what this is in my latest Poser picture right here.

Watching The Sentinel

Cristina Raines stars in The Sentinel as a young woman who takes an apartment in the building FROM HELL. But it's rent controlled, so the devil be damned.

She keeps hearing strange sounds coming from the apartment above her, an apartment that is SUPPOSED TO BE EMPTY.

So in the best tradition of these dopey horror movies (as opposed to the better ones) she goes creeping around while barefoot and still in her nightie, because that's what a beautiful woman in a horror movie is supposed to do (at least according to the makers of The Sentinel).

But that's when she discovers that all of her neighbors are FROM HELL!

Seriously, she moved into what is basically the gateway TO HELL. But if it's right over the gateway to hell, would that mean the heat and hot water would be free? Just wondering.

Another one of my favorite scenes

One of my favorite shows when I was a kid was Space: 1999. Yes, it was very goofy, with bad science (the moon is blown out of Earth's orbit with a moon base on the surface), but I loved it nonetheless. And that was even before the first season episode The Full Circle aired.

In this episode, resident cutie Sandra (Zienia Merton) gets abducted by cave people--who are her fellow members of Moonbase Alpha who have been reverted to savages by a strange fog on an alien planet.

Sandra, herself barefoot and scantily clad in animal skins, gets tied twice--once while carried on a pole, and the second is when she's bound spread eagle to a rack.

I can't help but wonder if watching this scene for the first time as a child was what developed my great love for all things Jungle Girls. This certainly might have been the spark for me.

We have Togolane to thank for this crisp, clear clip. You can see this right here.

Fatal Getaway

Lifetime, the Cable TV network for (Kidnapped & Bound) Women, recently aired a movie called Fatal Getaway.

At the end of the film, all four women who are sharing a house on the beach, get drugged and then wake up bound and gagged. *Gasp! You mean it was the pool boy all along?! Egad!* (It's not really the pool boy--I jest--but you'd think these broads would refrain from confronting a person whom they think is a psycho killer, because it never ends well)

But all four women are bound barefoot, which really makes this a nice scene for me.

And this scene lasts for a while, making it one of my recent faves. If you see this movie, Fatal Getaway, playing on Lifetime (or anywhere else), be sure to give it a watch.
