The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

"I thought you said if we destroyed the brain, it'd die?"

"It worked in the movie!"

"Well, it ain't working now, Frank."

"You mean the movie lied?"

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

in keeping with its fellow '70s and '80s horror movies, the return of the living dead (1985) delivers a classic tale about an official governmental goof — which makes for some interesting timing considering that it's set right around the fourth of july. this week on spooky tuesday, we decided to celebrate the holiday and the anniversary of the film's (totally true, just peep that title card) events in one fell swoop. on our latest episode, we're keeping the party time (zombie version) going as we enjoy this flick's killer soundtrack, discuss potential throuples, and get into a serious debate about who exactly is the dumbest of the dumb bitches.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

La notte dei morti viventi (1990)

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo ripreso a parlare di horror, arrivando a introdurre un regista talentuoso, Neil Marhsall, che nel corso degli anni è stato ingiustamente criticato, così come è successo con questa pellicola, The Reckoning. La storia è ambientata nel 1600 in Inghilterra, dove la peste sta dilagando. La protagonista è rimasta vedova del marito,…

Upon hearing the good 911 news, I came to a scientific discovery about The Characters™️ (This took 15 minutes of my life)

i know you're writing blurbs for matt murdock but if you ever have the itch to write for frank castle please know i never stopped thinking about your post on your Punisher + COD references...

( all credits to @mcgregor for this lovely gifset of our boys! )

☠️ — PUNISHER + CALL OF DUTY

a/n. All the pretty boys of COD in one Marvel universe is a thought indeed! This blurb's set in s1 of Punisher, when Frank & Billy first reunite after their radio-call.

"WHERE THE HELL DID RILEY go, eh, Bill?" Frank says, kicking back into his squeaky chair. "Last I saw him, we were workin' at some border, when Keller still had his leg."

The sun’s setting over New York waters, and for a moment, it feels like they're on tour in Afghanistan all over again— dirt and sand in their combat boots, sharing shitty, flat beer at some rickety outpost where they talked shit until dawn.

( Billy’s missed this. His brothers. Frank. )

"Riley? Simon Riley?" he laughs, eyebrows high at the snap of memories suddenly rushing forward. "Shit, haven't heard that Brit’s name in years. The hell was his callsign again?"

"Ghost," they say in unison, snorting into their drinks. That dirty-white skull mask is still imprinted fresh as a daisy across their minds. Frank shakes his head. "Scariest motherfucker I've ever seen.”

( “Don’t think I’ve ever seen his face. D’y’ever wonder, Frankie? I mean, Roach was the only one who did, s’far as I can remember, and he took that shit to the grave, too.”

“Scared Ghost’s got a prettier face than you, Russo? Ah, fuck off I’m kiddin’. Nah, he got it on for a reason. S’long as he can do his job— And he sure as hell fuckin’ can, that’s f’sure.” )

"He’s in a task force. Still S.A.S, Black Ops stuff, CIA redactions, y’know the drill. Price recruited him— think it’s called the 141?” Billy recalls, canting his head.

It’s been a long while since he’d checked on his tea-sipping allies. He ought to meet up with Gaz, soon.

“Last I heard, they headed a mission in London— that one, yeah, the terrorist attack down in the subway— and I heard they lost one of their own. MacTavish.”

“Soap? Ah, fuck.”

Frank had met him through the Captain. A bright-eyed Scotsman sharpshooter who’d leave a lasting mark in just about everybody he came across; either by a bullet or by his sharp wit.

“I contacted Price at the time, offered Anvil’s services on whatever they needed, but he declined,” Billy says, and Frank wonders if the bitterness he caught in his tone was just the alcohol getting to his head.

“Think he’s been put off by PMC’s ever since the whole Shadow Company scandal with Graves and the General.”

“Can’t blame ‘im, Bill. Brothers turnin’ against each other? Worst kind.”

A beat.

Billy Russo blinks back to the horizon, blindsided.

“…Yeah.”
