Superhero fatigue has finally invaded my film-viewing
psyche. Even seeing Downey Jr.
displaying his trademark Stark-snark in the recent Age of Ultron trailer
elicits only a sigh of boredom. Somehow,
things are different in the dark alleys of Sin

I recently snagged a copy of Twilight Time's (rather unfortunately named company) release of 1988's The Blob on Blu-ray. Limited to a run of only 5000 units, die-hard horror collectors should consider trying to pick this gem up before the price goes really insane on e-bay. I could argue that it already has with some buy it now options going for $70 bucks or more.

5 split-dogs out of 5
In the 80's, punk-rock ruled, the smart zombie owned the graveyard, and even a Nazi could become a hero. With Return of the Living Dead, writer director Dan O' Bannon redefined what a horror movie could be. It was witty, terrifying, and had a soundtrack that showcased some of the best bands the era would offer.
