THE MONKEES 1986! - RARE N CLASSIC VINYL BOOT "LIVE IN LOS ANGELES" - GREEK THEATER HORROR

More info below, vinyl rip is of adequate quality, sound is B grade audience but certainly listenable. The source of the vinyl rip is unknown....The Horror!! 7daylink Rating B+

Live in Los Angeles 1986 bootleg

Who else had this bootleg that was released by Bird Brain Records? An audience recording with an undesirable sound quality, Live In Los Angeles could be found in record shops that would carry less...

SPARKS 1984! - REVISITING THE HORROR KNOWN AS "PULLING RABBITS OUT OF A HAT" - SHEER HORROR

Sparks on Atlantic? Who would have thunk it? 1984's follow-up to Sparks In Outer Space didn't exactly set the world on fire, in fact it went bounce, thud. It's a strange album in the sense that it didn't chart at all in US but the title track got heavy airplay on KROQ and "With All My Might" did great as a single. There are some great tunes on this album even though a lot of Sparks fans hate this album....The Horror!!

The Sparks Project - Review: Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat - Kittysneezes

Who don't love Sparks? I suppose the folks who don't know who Sparks are might not love Sparks, but that's only because of plum ignorance. But REST EASY, reader - we're here to set you straight by reviewing ALL the Sparks records - and not just by one, but TWO (and maybe occasionally MORE!)

Sparks - Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat, review by tarkus1980

While wasn't my ideal kind of music, it nonetheless exuded competence and class, and I feel like I could play good chunks of that album in the presence of others without feeling sheepish. This album, alas, retains almost none of the good from In Outer Space and magnifies much of the bad (potential or realized) from that album, and the result is a disaster.

A COUPLE OF RESOURCEFUL FILM STUDENTS MAKE "THE LAST BROADCAST" FOR $900 - THE HORROR!!

Considering what they had to work with (or more like what they didn't have to work with,) these
two film student friends made a heck of an interesting indie based on the ole lost in the woods murder thing. With some crafty editing, a few friends and only 900 bucks they made this horror mockumentary, a first of it's kind preceding Blair Witch Project by at least a year. However, our film students get points taken away for the ending, which is generally agreed to be one of the worst in all of cinema...The Horror!! Pinewoods Rating System - Graded As A B-Movie - Two & 3/4 Pinewoods

The Last Broadcast ( 1998 ) - New Jersey Devil Myth

The Last Broadcast is a Found Footage effort that covers the New Jersey Devil myth. If I'm honest I only watched this film for the first time last week as I found it hard to find a decent version of it.

The Last Broadcast (1998) Movie Review - Horrorphilia

Can we remove the last ten minutes of this film please?? The Prologue If you are a fan of "lost footage" films, or first person point of view films, or however you want to word it. Odds are you think The Blair Witch Project was the film that started all of that right?

The movie's villain.
He has one big line-
"Look man, I'll see you back at the camp!"
THE HORROR!!
