I Bury the Living implicates us in a primal childhood thought-crime… what if you stepped on a crack and really did break your mother’s back? What if simply wishing someone dead made it so? Guilt, pure and simple, gives this off–kilter 50’s chiller its lasting power.
The film boasts an off–kilter leading man as well with the crater-faced Richard Boone as Robert Kraft, a small town business man railroaded into managing the family run cemetery. To make matters worse, the perennially gloomy Kraft, already skittish about his disconcerting new position, is saddled with a decrepit, unnaturally chilly workplace watched over by an unnerving bit of decoration, an...

Though Scream Factory originally made their name by releasing comprehensive special editions of beloved horror titles and some lesser-known cult films deserving reappraisal, after five years the company is diversifying their output more and more. They struck an exclusive deal to release IFC Midnight titles, they’ve picked up a few films and put them out under the “Scream Factory” imprint, and have even developed and produced their very first original feature, Mark Pavia’s Fender Bender, in 2016. In addition to all of this, Scream Factory has begun releasing smaller and lesser-known catalogue titles, nearly bypassing the special features altogether and just giving some older cult titles their high-def debuts. Included in their latest slate of releases is everything from a John Stamos sci-fi action film (Never Too Young to Die) to an unofficial Troll sequel. Let’s take a look at four of these catalogue titles—The Screaming Skull,...

Norman Lloyd will turn 100 on November 8 but he shows no signs of slowing down. On Sunday he starred in a production of George Bernard Shaw’s Heartbreak House staged by Cart, the California Artists Radio Theatre and directed by its founder, the indomitable Peggy Webber. He brought his customary vigor and booming voice to the acid-tongued character of Captain Shotover–who is supposed to be a mere 88 years old—and wowed an audience packed with friends, fans, and colleagues. Appearing with Norman were Ed Asner, Samantha Eggar, Paul Keith, Monte Markham, Diane Mercer, Phil Proctor, Charlotte Rae, Charles Shaughnessy, and Jane Windsor, with John Harlan announcing and Tony Palermo doing...

Movies from the “golden age” of black and white films (approximately the 1930’s through the 1950’s) almost invariably contain well-written dialogue and strikingly subtle humor, making them a favorite among many fans of cinema. The horror movies of this more subtle period in film history are therefore of a cerebral nature, primarily relying on the viewer’s imagination to generate the true sense of horror that modern movies generate through more visual means. It is these oft-ignored horror movies that will be the focus of a series of articles detailing the reasons why true fans of horror movies should rediscover these films.
With this 6th installment in the Forgotten B&W Horror series, we take a look at a little known movie with a couple of interesting twists.

I’ve written before about California Artists Radio Theater, a labor of love for veteran actress Peggy Webber, who grew up during the golden age of radio (and played Jack Webb’s elderly mother on Dragnet when she in her 20s) and keeps the medium alive with live performances of shows both old and new. Her repertory company includes people who, like Peggy, actually worked in network radio way back when, as well as younger actors who have taken to the medium like ducks to water (including William Shatner and Sean Astin). This new, revised website leads you to photos and— —biographies…...

What's New At Cart? If you love old-time radio you ought to know about this marvelous troupe headed by veteran actress, producer and director Peggy Webber, who keeps that great tradition alive in Los Angeles. Her repertory company includes people who actually worked in radio's heyday (like Peggy herself, who appeared on thousands of shows--and famously played Jack Webb's aged mother on Dragnet) and younger performers who've developed the rarefied skill of acting with just their voice. Watching Cart productions in person is a great treat, but you can also hear their past work on CDs available at this site.
