Girls in
I Drink Your Blood (1970)

Me-WOW!

Welcome back my friends. It’s good to have you back in Castle Rackula.

After reviewing My Bloody Valentine 3-D last week, my mind has been on horror remakes. Some obviously, are more successful than others.

One sure-fire way to be more successful is to do what My Bloody Valentine 3-D did and amp up the gore and nudity.

Especially the nudity.

With that in mind, this week I’ll be revisiting one of my favorite horror films of the early 1980s, Paul Schrader’s Cat People.

Read more after the bite.

Among its many repulsive and/or revolutionary revelations, the classic splatter blow-out Pieces (1982) proved (as its ads touted) that “you don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre.”

Now the heroic exploitation-movie archeologists at Grindhouse Releasing bring that very same chainsaw massacre right to you via a new, gloriously realized two-disc special edition Pieces DVD.

Meanwhile, at a midnight showing quite possibly near you (with more on the way), Repo! The Genetic Opera (2007) is packing screwed-up teenage asses into theater seats like no cult sensation in recent memory (or mammaries).

Repo’s got blood, it’s got guts, it's got body-fluid thrill freaks looking for a kick, and it’s got a Gothily tarted-up Paris Hilton.

McBeardo reports on the considerable sex appeal of all of the above after the jump. Just click on Paris Hilton's nipple.

This time out, Stasia Suicide, natural red pubes, British devil worshippers, nunsploitation, 70s porn, Women in Prison, one Ilsa mention, more Satanic Sluts, Shocking Videos ... and then Kevin Smith plops in and ruins the whole damn thing.

But it's okay, because there's still more Satanic Sluts.

Press play to read all about tit.

Groovy Times are Rear Again

Welcome back to Castle Rackula, my friends. I hope your Halloween was as eventful as mine. Tony Curtis showed up unexpectedly to the party at about one AM, but I’m still not sure whether that was meant to be a trick or a treat.

But all the debauchery has got me thinking about the most debauched periods I ever lived through (so to speak). There was the French Revolution of course, and the last days of Rome, but nothing really compared to the years I spend hob-knobbing with David Crosby down in Laurel Canyon.

In honor of those heady (pun skin-tended) times, I would like to visit some of my favorite hippie horror movies. So light up that incense, stick on that Blues Image record and join me, won’t you?

Susan Atkins, Woman in Prison

The California board of parole hearings unanimously denied Charles Manson follower and convicted murderer Susan Atkins, who is terminally ill with weeks to live, a compassionate release from prison, where she has been for 37 years. And it’s unlikely she spent that whole time having lesbian sex in the shower, since she became a born-again Christian in 1974.
