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!

THE FOGHORN LEGHORN - Charles McKimson, Carl Stalling, Mel Blanc (1948)

It's a fact, I do prefer 1940's cartoons over 1980's movies! To me, it's a no brainer! So, welcome to another installment of cool cartoons from the depths of The Dungeon, and one of the coolest logos of all time!

 Tonight's feature was the third appearance of Foghorn Leghorn, preceded by "Walky Talky Hawky," and "Crowing Pains," and as much as I hate to admit it, this cartoon was released about a week after I was born! No wonder Foghorn Leghorn makes me laugh to this day, and here's the proof, please check it out! Foghorn Leghorn's voice characterization by the genius Mel Blanc was based on the radio character Senator Claghorn played by comedian Kenny Delmar when radio was the rage!!

 Memorize all these names! This was pure genius from a mere handful of players! I can only hope all the descendents of these guys are millionaires, because, unlike the Kardashians, they sure deserve it!

 This was the fifth appearance of little know-it-all wiseguy Henery Hawk! Henery's career began in 1942 in a short titled "The Squawkin' Hawk!"

Henery's Pops explains to him that chickens are giant monsters that need to be dealt with very carefully!

When indeed, Henery's Dad is himself the monster, and about to go on a killing spree!

All the chickens are scared out of their wits! Like chickens have brains!

And then Pop Hawk is confronted by the master of the chicken kingdom, Foghorn Leghorn, and gets his ass kicked half way past the exterior of the chicken yard!

In order to cover his posterior, Pop Hawk tells his son that he got his butt kicked by a "loud mouthed shnook"................................

.......................So when Henery confronts Foghorn Leghorn, he doesn't even realize that he is a chicken!

Henerey's just a little more than mixed up! He thinks Foghorn is a shnook, and he thinks this dog is a chicken!

Foghorn explains to Henery why he's not getting his jokes! 
"You're built too low son, the fast ones keep going over your head!"

But nothing will convince Henerey that Foghorn is anything but a schnook, and certainly not a chicken!

Foghorn tries every method in the book to convince Hernery that he's a chicken!

Henerey makes one last attempt at getting the chicken!

But Foghorn is the one who ends up getting the blame!

In the end, Henerey finally figures it all out, and bags himself a chicken!

Well. almost anyway! You know Foghorn is going to get in the last word!

Literally, "That's All Folks!"

THE HOWLING / AVCO Embassy Pictures - 1981

Let's get this show on the skids... Eegah!! is out of town today fulfilling a dream of his so we can salute him for that. I'm stuck at the Dungeon doing what I do, this post! We have a werewolf movie that employs the same transformation effects as in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. Also, check out all the greats appearing in this flick... Kevin McCarthy, Patrick Macnee, John Carradine, Slim Pickens, Kenneth Tobey, Dick Miller, Forrest J Ackerman and Roger Corman!!

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our mean little midget wolfman, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a bloody taste of... THE HOWLING!

By the early eighties guys were very style conscious and looked dapper indeed in their threads!

Our heroine gets a call from an old 'friend' and goes to see him at a porno parlor, you can hear the dude get shot six times by the cops in the sound clip. Thing is, you can't kill a werewolf with regular slugs, which, everybody except these guys already knows!

John and Slim are out hunting for werewolves, pretty funny since they're both old wolf monsters themselves!

If you want to make my day, just show me a picture of Dungeon Gods Dick Miller and Forry Ackerman together!!

One of our heroes gets bitten by a werewolf and turns into one of them hisself.

Here's the room that this werewolf seems to feel comfortable in, there are also nude photos of women tacked up amongst the litter.

Well, you can chop off a werewolf's arm but the sucker will just grow the damn thing back!

Our real hero shows up and takes on the wolf pack and burns down the barn with them inside.

The two barely escape the community and when they get back to LA, our newswoman goes on TV to show the people watching at home that she's now a werewolf and that everyone better be concerned about them!

I'll end with this parting shot of burgers on a grill, m-m-m-m.. Nothin' better than a good old wolfburger with cheese!
