In the cold, dead of night you traverse a lonely path, your only companion the silent and darkened woods surrounding you. Slowly the gnarled trees clutching at your sides begin to thin, their chill grasp gradually giving way to an overpowering sense of dread. Above you the clouds gently part, the moon slipping into view. Revealed before you in the ghostly light is a decrepit graveyard choked with weeds, its countless headstones crumbling into dust, tendrils of mist swirling about their ancient bases like spectral serpents waiting to strike. Suddenly the wind begins to stir, the bleak air surrounding you in a cold embrace and heralding the approach of someone or...something.

Just what have I stumbled onto here? You may be asking yourself that very question right about now. Well, this is a place where old, forgotten, nearly forgotten and dare I say it – best forgotten, movies go when they die. A movie graveyard. My movie graveyard to be exact. A place where I can dig up films that belong in categories best described as old, cheap, classic, cheezy and even pretty bad; and then visit them once again through the modern miracle that is DVD. Occasionally, films that may be considered "new" will be unearthed here, but for the most part I like the classics. And just who am I? I am Shadow, the guy who haunts the place and the caretaker of these cinematic treasures from ages past. I’m also a guy who has never really grown up. So grab a bag of popcorn and join me...

April 28th, 2008 - Tentacles, my contribution to the Earth Day Roundtable is only about a week late, but it is now online. Alas, since this one is late, there was no time to update any of those last three reviews. I still need to proof read it, so there may be more than a few errors until Monday night.

March 29th, 2008 - Holy crap! It's another double dipping of cheesy goodness! I guess that new schedule I drew up for completing these reviews is working out. This time around we have Shadowzone, my entry in the Full Moon Rising Roundtable, which can be accessed here. After that is the glorified cheesy goodness of Queen of Outer Space, starring everyone's favorite cop abuser: Zsa Zsa Gabor! Next time around might only see a single review, because I really want to take some time and get those last three older reviews updated to the new template. We'll see.

February 24th, 2008 - Yep, it's been nearly two months since I updated. The short story: work, hospital, bills, work, hospital, work, dogs, and work. Those words pretty sum up why I have not posted anything here or on the blog since the first of the year. However, to make up for being such a lazy ass, I completed two new reviews. The first for the promised The Giant Claw and the second for Earth vs. The Spider. I also drew up a schedule to help keep updates around here more regular. Now the tricky part is sticking to it...

It's time for your old pal Shadow to take a trip down memory lane to the ancient days known as the 1980's, when big hair bands ruled the rock scene. It's the Graveyard's contribution to the B-Movies That Rock Roundtable when Shadow recalls his teenage years and the heavy metal classic...
