Just had to say a few words after the shock of losing legendary filmmaker, Larry Cohen today. His films are some of the very best in horror and exploitation - a true independent maverick and a wonderful person. I was very thankful to have met Larry along with the great Michael Moriarty at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal a few years ago. Larry was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the world premiere of King Cohen, following a touching speech from Moriarty about his long time friend. R.I.P. to another great.

"We're Off to See the Wizard" on a yellow brick road made of pixels! Looking forward a very rare screening of the greatest Nintendo propaganda ever made - The Wizard - tonight at the Tampa Theatre! Even more nostalgic is the fact that the last time we saw this movie was at the theatre when it was first released in 1989!

We know it's been a while, but we had to say a few words about the unexpected passing of Steve Dash. As many of you know, Steve attended our Friday the 13th Part 2 Cast Reunion in 2016. These are a few shots from our show including a cast reunion pic with Steve, John Fury, Marta Kober and Bill Randolph, plus one-of-a-kind slasher reunion featuring Peter Cowper (Harry Warden), Lou David (Cropsy) and Steve (Jason) together for the first and only time. It was a pleasure to have Steve as our guest and we are very sad to see him go so soon. Much Love RIP -Bay of Blood

Well, we hate to break our silence for yet another celebrity death, but this one needs to be honored. We were very thankful to have met legendary actor, Burt Reynolds, here in Florida a few years ago. We even got to speak with him about his fantastic performance as Lewis in one of our all-time favorite films, Deliverance. Burt was a true gentleman and a one-of-a-kind! Thank you for all the great memories!

Just returned from an amazing trip to Toronto, Canada! Some highlights included Clifton Hill at Niagra Falls and the original the Black Christmas house! However, it was a true blast to finally meet some familiar faces from My Bloody Valentine who weren't able to make it to our cast reunion! A huge thank you to our friends Paul Kelman (TeeJay) and Neil Affleck (Axel) for hanging out with us and chatting about those bloody 'ole days in the Hanniger mine!

It's a sad Mother's Day this year as we say goodbye to the great Margot Kidder. Every news story today had "Lois Lane" somewhere in the title, but to us Margot's best performances will always be as the sassy sorority lush, Barb, in Bob Clark's Black Christmas, and as Kathy Lutz in the original Amityville Horror. Both masterpieces of horror cinema showcasing Margot's talent. She was a friendly and kind person who loved chatting with her fans. Thank you, Margot! Your work will not be forgotten. RIP
