With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I figured I’d get the romance started with an exploding head from the 1981 splatterific slasher movie The Prowler.  Flowers and chocolates are pretty much overrated anyway, so exploding heads are the way to go nowadays.

Welcome to Sunday Bloody Sunday, where as I’ve already mentioned – I’m shining a spotlight onto an exploding head from The Prowler.  But who’s exploding head is it?  Well…..therein lies the rub.  It’s a scene from the end of the movie, so if you haven’t seen it – then this would be considered a big spoiler.  That being because the exploding head is that of the revealed killer!  Dun Dun Duhhhhhh.  Yeah, it’s kind of like a super graphic Scooby-Doo ending.  But anyway, click away below and you’re been warned if you haven’t seen the movie!  P.S. – Kudos to Tom Savini for the FX work.

Sunday Bloody Sunday: ‘Finger Face’ From ‘Dead Alive’ (1992)

Aside from having a fear of mayonnaise, I also have a striking fear of having somebody shove their fingers literally into my face.  A strange fear, I know, but that’s why this week’s Sunday Bloody Sunday is all the more personal to me.

If you’ve never seen Peter Jackson’s bloody brilliant Dead Alive (aka Braindead), then you shouldn’t be reading any horror sites anymore.  Your privileges have been revoked.  But if you’re like me and have seen a couple hundred times, then maybe one of your favorite scenes is when the nurse gets a face full of Mum’s fingers.  Watch below and enjoy the deadly digit demise.  Try saying that 5 times fast.

Monday Bloody Monday: The Deadly Spawn (1983)

What’s the best way to get you out of your Monday funk?  By watching 15 minutes of pure over-the-top gory awesomeness from 1983’s ‘so bad it’s good’ alien schlockfest, The Deadly Spawn.

Now if you’ve never seen The Deadly Spawn, I’m hear to tell you that you’re completely missing out.  What boggles my mind is that I remember watching this on basic TV in the afternoon, with full gore intact, when I was about 10-years-old.  If you have a fetish for seeing old people get attacked and bitten by baby aliens with jagged teeth, then today’s your lucky day.  Make sure to check out the clip around 7 minutes in if you want to see that madness unfold, but I highly recommend watching the whole 15 minutes.

Sunday Bloody Sunday: ‘Axe Attack’ From ‘Tenebre’ (1982)

*WARNING: The clip that you’re about to watch in this post contains an extremely unrealistic chopping off of an arm by an axe.  You’ve been warned*

God bless Dario Argento.  Why the hell doesn’t he make good movies anymore though?  That’s a question that could take a while to find an answer to, so lets focus on some of his better work from days past to take our minds off of that.

On this week’s Sunday Bloody Sunday it’s about to get all giallo red up in here, because I’m highlighting one of the best and most ridiculous death scenes from Argento’s 1982 slasher:  Tenebre.  If you haven’t seen the movie, then I’m about to spoil the fact that the character of Jane is about to be hacked up by an axe murderer.  But before she’s done for good, she’s going to decide to paint the beautiful white walls in her house bright red!  I heard that she did always have dreams of becoming an interior designer.

Amazing VHS Sales Promo For Peter Jackson’s ‘Dead Alive’ (1992)

Being that I’m a HUGE fan of Peter Jackson’s 1992 blood-soaked opus, Dead Alive, I was pretty ecstatic and giddy when I found this rare VHS sales promo ad for the movie that was given out to video stores before it’s release:

Are we sure that this was released in 1992?  Because the music is definitely straight out of the 80’s and makes me want to exercise for some reason.  But anyway, let’s talk about the toothless elephant in the room for a second.  The dentally-challenged guy who proclaims “It’s like Monty Python meets George Romero.  Outstanding!!!” is awesome.  He deserved some kind of spin-off or something, even though I don’t think you can do spin-offs from a VHS sales tape.

Hopefully this promo gave Dead Alive the boost that it needed when it was distributed to video stores in 1992.  And hopefully, everyone enjoyed and got great use out of their Dead Alive candy dispensers.  I’m kind of envious and bitter that I didn’t get to enjoy my own candy dispenser.  Life sucks sometimes. I for one discovered this movie on VHS, and came close to wearing out my copy from so many viewings.  I just can’t get enough of that damn rat monkey!
