FearStyle Friday: Some Like It Hot Turns 60!

Happy FearStyle Friday. This week we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of a classic. Not a horror film necessarily, but a film that deserves the respect of all movie goers. Today we are talking about the  Marilyn Monroe classic, Some Like It Hot . This movie also stars Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis, you know, the father of Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis? May not be a horror film but the trail is certainly there. Some Like It Hot is about two musicians who witness a murder and have to come up with a quick plan to escape Chicago. They decide to dress as women, join an all female Jazz band, and ride the rails on down to Florida. Through classic movie trickery, the men are faced with all the troubles of a female. There's humor, seduction, and a voluptuous blonde named Sugar. Will they make it out unscathed? You will just have to watch to find out. Some Like It Hot is really a movie ahead of its time. There hadn't been very many movies about men hiding out in drag before this

Weird Movie Wednesday: Monsters (TV series)

Hello, freaks and monsters, welcome to another Weird Movie Wednesday. This week I thought we would talk about what I am binge watching at the moment. Do y'all remember the TV show Monsters? I use to watch this all the time. Monsters is an anthology style show where each episode is a different horror story. It is in the same vein as The Twilight Zone, Tales From The Dark Side, and Tales From The Crypt. I always thought that Monsters was the more underrated of this sub-genre of TV shows. I thought it would be cool to talk about the show and some of my fave episodes, but before that let's talk about the intro. Monsters has the best intro out of all the horror shows ever...ever. It starts with a family getting ready to watch some TV during family hour. The dad monster is looking for something to watch, the mom monster is pushing a trolley of treats into the living room, and the little daughter monster is stoked about the candy critters mamma monster has wheeled on out.
