In the age of more digital representations of horror movie hosting, with much stricter rights on older movies arising, sometimes it’s easy to forget the movie hosts that stayed up to watch the movie with us. In that age of TV, there was rarely reproduction issues with making fun of movies. The movie would show once, live, with no rereleases, DVDs or video tapes. In the age of video tapes however, one horror host arose that didn’t need these to get audience attention. She had dirty jokes and sex appeal, something that would ultimately make her character and their jokes more widely known than the actor herself.

Best Geeky Finds – Take a Shining
“That’s odd, usually the blood gets off at the second floor.”
There a lot of classic films that I’ve never seen. Some due to timing, others subject matter. I may not enjoy some genres but I still try to catch some movies that are on those lists of “100 movies to watch before you die even though they might be the death of you anyway.” Many of these happen to be scary movies, which is why I’ve strayed from looking toward them.

Best Geeky Finds – Real Demon Hunters are Named Ashley – My Groovy Weekend Binge of Evil Dead Movies
A cabin in the woods, demonic possessions, the Book of the Dead. Many movies and TV shows have had all three of these tropes since the 1970s, but none have been as well-known as Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. In 1981, Ash (Ashley) (Bruce Campbell), his sister, and college friends take a weekend trip to a small cabin in the woods of Tennessee. The vacation turns rotten immediately when they hear noises from the cellar where they find a tape recorder, firearms, and a strange book covered in human skin. Of course, they’re smart and do not read the book. The cabin’s former resident does it for them on the tape as it recites the text.
