As Jay finishes up his 31 Days of Horror articles, he found a cool series on Epix called Blumhouse’s Compendium of Horror. It is a great and quick history of horror movies through the years. Shua has been working on his art by watching videos of how to draw Mid Century art. It’s always good to practice your craft.

This week Jay continues his October horror movie articles on RetroZap.com. Check out his insights on The House on Sorority Row, Leprechaun, Cabin Fever, The Purge, Ghosts of Mars, Saw, Get Out, and Halloween Ends. 

Enjoy Elvira! 

You may not know who Cassandra Peterson is, but surely you’ve heard of Elvira. That’s the persona that Peterson created to host a show called Movie Macabre in 1981. But she built up to that career as Mistress of the Dark. Modeling, Dancing, singing in an Italian rock band, even dating Elvis. But once Elvira was out of the box, there was no stopping her. TV, comics, movies, even hosting Halloween parties at public events. She has owned the character and capitalized on the success. So before Halloween, let’s celebrate Elvira!

Have you experienced Elvira? Which of her projects were your favorites? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Unpleasant Dreams” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Shua is reading a truly unique and well-done biography about Charles Schulz called Funny Things. What makes it different is that it’s all done in the form of comic strips drawn in the style of Peanuts. It really gives you a sense of Schulz’s life and what inspired him to draw his characters. Jay has been rewatching Star Trek Lower Decks. It’s such a well done, creative Trek show that we highly recommend.

This week Jay continues his October horror movie articles on RetroZap.com. Check out his insights on The Meg, The Legend of Boggy Creek, Shaun of the Dead, The Masque of the Red Death, Hollow Man, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Sssssss.

Enjoy Movies! 

Do you remember the first time you saw Beetlejuice? When it was released in 1988, it was completely unlike anything we’d seen. It was only the second movie for Tim Burton, but it set a feeling for Burton’s films after this. Originally it was intended to be a very dark tale, but with Keaton’s and Burton’s ideas it turned out to be a classic comedic story. Join us as we peruse the Handbook for the Recently Diseased on Enjoy Stuff.

Enjoy TV! 

30 years Chris Carter gave us a really groundbreaking TV series on the fledgling TV network Fox. It was a series that spotlighted the supernatural and mystery in a way that fit so well for the 90s. It lasted 9 seasons, 2 movies in the theater, and another 2 extra seasons years later. It featured Agents Mulder and Scully as they investigated aliens, weird stuff, and government conspiracies. It also inspired generations of women to pursue careers in science, technology, math, law enforcement, and more. Listen to Jay and Shua look back at the history and influence of the X Files.
