Pioneering
director and horror icon George Romero unleashed onto unsuspecting
viewers the modern film zombie—a specter that remains a shockingly
adaptable metaphor for contemporary life. In honor of the late master of
the undead, we screen one of his classics, Dawn of the Dead. Like Night of the Living Dead before it, Dawn helped shape the zombie genre and tapped into the zeitgeist of its
historical moment with a deft combination of blood, tension, and social
satire.

The free film festival comes back to LA this November and the schedule for films is up now.AFI Fest 2017
Nov 9-16
Multiple Theaters in Hollywood
Free tickets for AFI FEST 2017 presented by Audi will be available beginning on Wednesday, November 1.
This year's selection once again has some amazing films including: The Disaster Artist, showing us all how Tommy Wiseau's The Room was made starring James Franco. Mrs Hyde, out of of France is a retelling of the story in a modern sending, but this time about a female teacher. The Endless has a sci-fi concept to it about two brothers going back to their cult, but having two separate views of what happened. AVA looks like pure French art film; a girl will be going blind soon so she does the most rational thing of finding her sexuality by stealing a dog...
Some titles many fans have been looking forward to will be there including a showing of Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, a love story based around the creature from the black lagoon. Not specifically that creature, because Universal wouldn't let him do it.We also get the anime Mary and the Witch's Flower, that looks like Ghibli, but isn't.
Spelunky 2 We Need You
Just announced, but with no real date is Spelunky 2. The only details so far is that it'll come out on PS4 first than PC. The trailer alludes to maybe visiting the sky instead of going underground...whatever that means.

Halloween Top Picks 80's Horror Made Now: The Barn & All The Devils Are Here
If you want something to watch, but feel like you want 80's nostalgia why not try these two gems made only far back as 2015. These trailers are so fun to watch if you want to see some, well, modern 80's horror movies.
First up, The Barn! A film that brings three supernatural slashers out from Hell to collect body parts instead of treats on Halloween. The details on the slashers and the style from the trailer make this film a must for your Halloween party.
We can't find it streaming, but you can buy it from The Barn Merch Store in Blu-ray and VHS format.
Second up, All The Devils Are Here has that same 80's feel, but what looks like a demonic problem taking over another band of young college kids. It looks like this has a bit more of a comedy side to it.
This one is Streaming on Amazon.

Scary Clown Night At Burger King This Halloween
This is like two shots fired across the bow of McD's as it seems like a better campaign then the awful Szechuan sauce fiasco that recently happened earlier this month. And the clown in the commercial looks like Ronald.
Oh, I can't wait for the photos to pop-up on social media that night and if things go bad, well they'll just be a Hell of a lot of scary clowns in Burbank on Halloween.

Haunted Little Tokyo is pleased to present a screening of the 2002 Japanese Horror sensation, Ju-On: The Grudge, by Takashi Shimizu. A mysterious and vengeful spirit marks and pursues anybody who dares enter the house in which it resides.
Soon after sound took hold in the movie industry, Hollywood studios
experimented with ways to attract Spanish-speaking audiences. Using
Latin-American actors, technicians and directors, they shot
Spanish-language versions of their films on the same sets. Notable among
these alternate versions is this stylish adaptation of Bram Stoker’s
1897 novel. Directed by George Melford, Drácula was filmed at
night during the production of the 1931 English-language version that
starred Bela Lugosi.

The Lure Special Edition Review Musical Mermaid Horror From Poland
The Lure
Unlike The Little Mermaid, the mermaids in this film hunger for human flesh. They eat people. Not unlike The Little Mermaid, the film is a musical. There are some crazy weird musical numbers starting at a song about no intentions of eating you, to shopping and getting human legs during surgery.
What to dwell on first, the music video style that happens when songs occur or the lyrics that are just nonsense. Many of the songs make zero sense when subtitled, there just nonsense you might find in a catchy song. The music video like musical numbers differ from an amazing look after a fight with everything stuck, frozen in time to some upbeat strip-tease dance numbers for a club.
Set in the 1980's two Mermaids come ashore to join a band and learn and love humanity. Oh, and sometimes eat people. The club is their stomping ground and their voices, used to drag people to their doom, are now used to get a crowd jumping.
It's a remarkably weird film worth viewing in the best format that Criterion can release on Blu-Ray with special features including a few deleted scenes and a making of doc.
There's too many different parts for me to marvel at. I just love how they pulled off the Mermiad's creepy eel like tails, which in no way look as nice as Arial's flipper. Then, there's just a long shot of the club going through every section that's just well choreographed. I mean, it looked so good it reminded me of a Wes Anderson long shot.
This is a movie that should fit in your collection if you love horror, crazy Japanese live-action films and or musicals. It's no Little Mermaid and would only be if she was doing a massive amount of cocaine.
