Stars: Charles Klausmeyer, Mark Kinsey Stephenson, Alexandra Durrell, Laura Albert, Eben Ham, Blane Wheatley, Mark Parra, Delbert Spain, Colin Cox, Paul Farmer, Katrin Alexandre | Written and Directed by Jean-Paul Oullette
Written and directed by Jean-Paul Ouellette, based on the story from legendary horror author H.P. Lovecraft, The Unnamable is one of those films that passed me by growing up. I knew about the film, mainly thanks to the 1992 sequel – released in the UK as The Unnamable Returns – which was heavily, and I do mean heavily, promoted upon it’s release. Hell, it seemed like every movie magazine I read (remember those days?) had ads for The Unnamable Returns and every VHS rental had a trailer for the movie. But at the time I could never track down the original film and I never caught the film on DVD… So this Blu-ray release, from Unearthed Films, is a first-time watch for me.

Written and directed by Jean-Paul Ouellette, based on the story from legendary horror author H.P. Lovecraft, The Unnamable is finally making its way to Blu-ray and DVD October 23rd from Unearthed Films, whose output is mostly known for being on the more “extreme” side (check out our reviews of some of Unearthed’s previous releases here), but who are moving into more mainstream fare via their new Unearthed Classics imprint.
College students from Miskatonic University who retreat to an early 18th-century mansion for a weekend of lust are stalked by a fatalistic female. The demon delights in tearing the limbs off her human victims to carry out a centuries-old family curse.
Bloody graphic violence and nudity is combined with some campy comedy in this stone-cold classic of the Dtv era, which has now been restored as a beautiful 4k scan and color corrected from the original negative, the 1st 2,000 units...

There's always one day during the Sdcc when you just shake your head, laugh, and say, "This schedule is ridiculous." Saturday, July 20th, is shaping up to be that day this year.
Horror fans will have a lot of choices to make as the "Bates Motel" panel battles the one-two punch of Godzilla and Seventh Son. Later in the day you'll be faced with choosing to learn more about "True Blood," Telltale's The Walking Dead video game, or "Being Human." Right now 20th Century Fox's presentation that runs at the same time remains "To Be Announced," but once details are revealed, we'll provide an update.
Other panels vying for your attention throughout the day are "The Originals," "Grimm," I, Frankenstein teamed with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (that combination should make for some interesting audience reactions), a look at gameplay from Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One, more games, comics,...

The weather in Portland turned on October 1st, from clear skies bathing the city with sunshine to cloudy with a chill in the air.
It seemed like perfect to witness the end of a yearly Rose City tradition. For fifteen years, the first weekend in October brought legions of fans to The H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival. But the crowd gathering in the Hollywood Theater would not only celebrate Cosmic Horror in film and literature, but also bear witness to the festival's last Portland gathering. Festival director Andrew Migliore, having used up all his 'sanity points', was calling this year his last.
Such sad news did not deter the fans packed into the Hollywood Theater. The vendor room was hot and muggy as people circled around tables full of books, artwork, t-shirts and all manner of tentacled merchandise. I took a quick look, but rushed into the upper left theater...
