Last year, Charles Band’s company Full Moon announced that they were launching a new production label called Pulp Noir, which would focus on “edgier, weirder, darker horror and dark fantasy films.” Two Pulp Noir movies, Quadrant and Death Streamer, have since made their way through production – and while those movies were initially released in color, all of the Pulp Noir movies will also get black & white “noir” releases, so there are both color and black & white versions of Quadrant and Death Streamer available on the Full Moon Features streaming service. While we wait for more Pulp Noir movies to be made, Band has started going through the Full Moon library to give some of their older films the black & white / noir treatment. This noir series, which is expected to consist of at least a dozen films, got started with a black & white version of the 1984 sci-fi thriller Christmas classic Trancers.

Known for her tenacity and confidence on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Erika Jayne has been spotted on a date with 72-year-old lawyer, Jim Wilkes. It seems like this reality TV star has a type -- her ex-husband Tom Girardi who was involved in an embezzlement scandal to Wilkes who has a rap sheet. Amid settling her entanglement of lawsuits and the explosive divorce, a photograph of Jayne and Wilkes was obtained and shared by Blonde Hair Black Heart podcaster, Blake Adams Sunday. Jayne was snapped walking through Caesars' Palace in Las Vegas alongside the darkly clad Wilkes, who was also recently engulfed in his own legal issues.

*a screener of this film was provided by Full Moon Features. Coming to Blu-ray on Dec 20 is Head of the Family, and Charles Band could not be happier. This producer also wrote and directed this product under a pseudonym. This work is one he can be proud of, as it has all the strangeness of maybe being inspired by Pinky and the Brain of Animaniacs fame of all things! Myron (effectively played by J.W. Perra) is the head of a family of mutants — Otis (Bob Schott) has super strength, Ernestina (Alexandria Quinn) is voluptuously beautiful and Wheeler (James Jones) has super enhanced senses. Well, they could be a twisted version of Marvel Comics' "Uncanny X-men" when you realise Myron is like Professor X. He shares a psychic bond with his children, and he abuses them — well more so at Otis than the others. Myron is just a big head with a tiny body.

The Bottom Shelf returns, with a video nasty, The Howling 2, and a tribute to the late Herschell Gordon Lewis...

To most, September 26th is the date when, in 1680, the Dutch city Gorinchem suffered a citizen’s revolt due to an imposed tax on cereal. From now on, though, that will change, as any right-thinking person will remember that date in 2016 as the day The Godfather Of Gore, the great Herschell Gordon Lewis, died.

The brain behind a range of vintage cult classics, spanning the gamut of exploitation cinema, from splatter movies to comedy erotica and supernatural witchcraft thriller (niche!), Lewis’ influential sixties and seventies productions paved the way for the video nasties of the eighties and the gory likes of David Cronenberg and Peter Jackson and stand up today as camp, gawdy historical documents of a bygone era. As such, to coincide with an impeccably timed release...
