  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers Spoiler Review

    It occurs to me, I forgot to share this yesterday. It may have been that I was trying to maintain a low profile, so as to evade the pod people.

    At any rate, here’s the archived video of Roy and my discussion of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978). If you’ve not seen the movie, I warn you now that our conversation is rife with spoilers. So be sure you watch the movie first!

    We’re going spooky all month long, in a spine-chilling lead-up to Halloween. Here’s the complete schedule:

    October 16, “Kolchak: The Night Stalker”

    October 18, “Night of the Living Dead” (1968)

    October 23, “Soylent Green” (with guest co-host Shari Bethman-Bjellquist)

    October 25, “The Devil Rides Out” (a.k.a. “The Devil’s Bride”)

    October 30, “Young Frankenstein” (with Michael Rizzo and Marybeth Ritkouski of SciFi Distilled, AND virtual costume party!)

    If for nothing else, I thought you might be interested in checking the progress of my Covid beard.

    Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner live-streams on Facebook, Fridays and Sundays at 7 pm EDT. See you on Friday, for the cult-favorite TV series, “Kolchak!”

  • Trilogy of Terror & October Horror Movie Schedule

    Every Zuni fetish doll has his day, and Roy and I finally had our discussion about Dan Curtis’ “Trilogy of Terror” (1975), the ABC Movie of the Week, starring Karen Black – in four different roles, no less – that scarred everyone for life. At least it wasn’t “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.” That movie still makes me want to sleep with the light on. At any rate, as always, we spoil everything (if “Trilogy of Terror” CAN be spoiled), so watch at your peril.

    Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner livestreams on Facebook every Friday and Sunday at 7 pm EDT. I’m already the regular Friday co-host, but in the service of Halloween, my favorite holiday, I’ve signed on for Sundays this month, as well.

    This Sunday, don’t fall asleep! We’ll be discussing Philip Kaufman’s superb 1978 remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”

    In case you’re curious, here’s what we’ve got planned for the rest of the month:

    October 11 “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978)

    October 16 “Kolchak: The Night Stalker”

    October 18 “Night of the Living Dead” (1968)

    October 23 “Soylent Green”

    October 25 “The Devil Rides Out” (a.k.a. “The Devil’s Bride”)

    October 30, “Young Frankenstein”

    For “Soylent Green,” we’ll be joined by special guest Shari Bethman-Bjellquist.

    And for “Young Frankenstein,” we’ll be joined by Michael Rizzo and Marybeth Ritkouski, our friends from SciFi Distilled. The October 30th broadcast will also include a virtual costume party, open to anyone who would care to participate.

    If you’re blue and don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where sci-fi sits? We’re spoilin’ all the hits!

  • Horror Movies Double Feature Halloween Month

    Horror Movies Double Feature Halloween Month

    In a month of two full moons, and with Mars closer to the earth than it will be for another 15 years, sci-fi becomes “SCYTHE-fi,” as Roy and my focus this month will be on horror movies. Yayyyyyyyyyy!

    Or perhaps I should say, AAAaaaaaOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

    Unfortunately, we had a problem with our Zuni fetish doll last week, which caused some connectivity issues, so our coverage of “Trilogy of Terror” (1975) had to be postponed until tomorrow evening.

    The good news is, we’ve had time to discuss what else we’d like to do, and after careful negotiation, we now have a schedule in place for both Fridays AND Sundays through Halloween. That’s right, we’ll bookend EVERY WEEKEND this month, and spoil twice as many movies.

    I hope you’ll join us tomorrow for a dissection of Karen Black’s horror television triptych. The conversation begins – and, as always, your insights are welcome – this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT.

    Then on Sunday, the seed is planted… terror grows! Our topic will be “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978), surely one of the most satisfying remakes ever filmed.

    Don’t fall asleep! Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner live-streams on Facebook every Friday and Sunday at 7 p.m.

    Happy Halloween, everyone!
