THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW / Universal Pictures - 1988

Here's a nice little flick about voodoo and drugs in Haiti, it stars Bill Pullman in a role that should have at least earned him an Oscar nomination, you really believe this stuff is happening to him. It's a standout horror story that I highly recommend...

I have a wild sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our Dungeon Voodoo Freak, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a deadly taste of... THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW!

Bill plays Dr. Dennis Alan, he's in Haiti doing research on a powerful drug there and gets a curse put on him by the local witch doctor!

Then, the ground beneath the doctor's feet opens up and hundreds of zombies drag him down to the bottom of the pit. Thing is... It's only in his mind!

With friends like this hanging around, do you really need any enemies?!

In this hallucination, Dennis watches as this blushing bride pulls her jaw down and shoots a viper out of her mouth!.. Will the fun never end?

His tormentor is one sick SOB, here, the madman threatens to light his torch for the thrill.

And, Dungeon Hero Michael Gough has a small part in the movie, looking good as usual..

This girl becomes possessed and tries to bury this butcher knife somewhere in Dennis!

Dennis gets drugged and he is buried alive! They also give him some little playmates to keep him company while he ponders his situation.

The fun doesn't end there though, check out the maniac pulling his head completely off, he then throws it at Dennis, barely missing him!

This is one freaky scene, those long rubbery arms with grabbing hands give me the chills!

Our nemesis gets his just desserts in the end, Dennis has a few tricks up his sleeve as he's learned some spells himself. The maniac gets a steel spike right into his groin before falling through the floor on an elevator trip straight to Hell!! Yes, Dennis makes it through the ordeal and the good guys win... Whew!!

CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST - A Haunting We Will Go (1949)

Well. by now, everybody should know who Casper The Friendly Ghost is, and if you don't, then Boo On You!

 This is a simple tale!! (Pretty Weird that the title card says "Caspers Friendly Ghost" instead of "Casper The Friendly Ghost!")

 The title is basically meaningless to the story, but it makes for a cool little song!
"A Haunting We Will Go" has also been used as a Laurel and Hardy title, a L'il Eightball title, and others!

 Cool scene! Probably should have saved this one for Halloween!

 You might not have known that ghosts have to go to school to learn how to be scary, kind of like how fish have to go to school to learn how to swim!

 The very prolific Larz (Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Hong Kong Phooey) Bourne is the man responsbile for the gags!

 Casper is a dunce because he doesn't want to scare anything or anybody!

 Casper goes out and tries to make friends out by the lake, but this is the general reaction he gets!

 So he sits down on a nest to rest, and sits on an egg!

 The egg hatches, and this little guy isn't scared, he's just hungry!

 The little duckling loves his new ghost Daddy!

 Casper teaches him how to fly!

 But the stupid little duck deserts Casper to go get next to one of his own kind, a wooden duck decoy! Next thing you know this hunter shoots the little duckling!

 The hunter's dog goes to retrieve his catch, and Casper scares the spots off of him!

 Poor little guy took quite a shot! Pretty serious business for just being a stupid cartoon!

The little duckling recovers and Casper and his little buddy fly off into the distance to live happily ever after I suppose!

ARMY OF DARKNESS / Dino De Laurentiis Company - 1992

Here's the third installment of THE EVIL DEAD starring the very cool dude, Bruce Campbell. We've already reviewed the first two movies if you want to use our search feature on the right.

The story starts with Ash being lead to his death by his captors in 1300 AD after he's been pulled through a time warp.

Then, in a flashback, Ash describes how his life changed because of the powers of the Necronomicon, aka the Book of the Dead.

I've got a little sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button over by our petrified mouse knuckles, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a sample of... ARMY OF DARKNESS!

Ash initially faces off against these dudes, they are curious about his car (which was also pulled through the time warp) and the chainsaw on his arm!

I just like this shot... 'Nuf said!

Here's a perfect little portrait of our hero Ash, his face totally shows how much fun he's having!

In this scene, Ash is being forced to take on the monster in the bloody pit of horror.

At this point, Ash heads for the windmill to seek shelter from his captors even though they have just proclaimed him their new leader!

Then, Ash is attacked by a bunch of mischievous skeletons coming out of their graves!

Here's a nice shot of a few of the pretty cool skull dudes in the ARMY OF DARKNESS.

Nice shot of the Cavalry coming to help out the outnumbered Ash, it's about time mofo!!

This is the leader of the AOD, Ash finally torches the jerk face... In the freakin' face!

Well, everything turns out just perfectly for Ash and gets a big wet one for all his effort!
