Death Race (1976) Arcade Video Game [Moby Games]

Death Race is a vehicular combat game that puts your car in an open space with gremlins. Your goal is to crash into the gremlins so you can brutally and cruelly kill them. Upon dying, they scream. In the spot where the gremlin once was, a cross-shaped gravestone will be left. This clutters the playing field, making it harder to move around. There are dotted lines on the sides, representing two narrow "safe" zones on the left and right sides of the screen for the gremlins, as your car will crash on contact with the dotted lines.

Horror Hotties - The Girls of Summer (Part 1) [The Horror Club]

There are basically two kind of Summer Horror movies: Those set at a Summer Camp of some sort, and those set on a beach in some tropical locale. Or local locale. The beach is the important part here. They usually involve a vacation of some sort, and lots of partying, and they most definitely involve a bevy of lovely ladies running around in skimpy bikinis, usually while fighting for their lives.

Throughout the Summer, we're going to be highlighting the Summer Horror movies that feature the best bikini-clad ladies, because eye candy and terror go hand in hand. Especially in the Summer.

Plus, we need stuff to watch that feels seasonally appropriate.

Blockbuster (entertainment) [Wikipedia]

A blockbuster is a work of entertainment—typically used to describe a feature film produced by a major film studio, but also other media—that is highly popular and financially successful. The term has also come to refer to any large-budget production intended for "blockbuster" status, aimed at mass markets with associated merchandising, sometimes on a scale that meant the financial fortunes of a film studio or a distributor could depend on it.

Another World’s Zombie Apocalypse Is Not My Problem Review [The OASG]

The title is a little misleading. Another World’s Zombie Apocalypse Is Not My Problem! sounds like the protagonist has no interest in helping stem an outbreak of zombies. Mizuha, like most isekai story main characters, was just an ordinary person, so isn’t thrilled about getting thrust into a dangerous situation. But she’s not indifferent to the problem as the title of this one-volume light novel might suggest. It’s more like I Wouldn’t Mind Stopping a Zombie Apocalypse So Much If It Didn’t Involve Calling Me a Priestess or Requesting My Spit!

The 10 Best Chainsaw Movies That Aren't 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' [Collider]

If you tell a person to think of a "chainsaw movie," the first thing that's going to come to mind the vast majority of the time is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It was a groundbreaking horror film from 1974 about a group of young people who were targeted by a cannibalistic family, with one member of said family infamously wielding a chainsaw. It helped introduce the cinematic potential of the item as a weapon and remains a staple of pop culture thanks to various sequels and remakes.

However, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre does not have a monopoly on the mechanical power tool/improvised weapon, as the following movies demonstrate. All are examples of notable chainsaw usages outside the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Interestingly, all were released after 1974, too, perhaps demonstrating the trendsetting, influential nature of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

7 Early PS2 Horror Games Almost No One Remembers [Game Rant]

Two decades ago, the horror genre in video games was truly hitting its stride. The 90s brought the jump to 3D graphics, while the 2000s gave fans classics in the genre, like Silent Hill 2, that have captured the minds of fans to this day.

But it was the early 2000s that gave players a look at just what the PlayStation 2 could do to immerse them in a truly frightening world with its graphical capabilities. It also forecasted just what the future held for the ever-popular genre of games. However, the genre being as prolific as it was, meant that some of its best have been lost to time.

Mini Review - Killer Klowns from Outer Space The Game (PS5) - A Lacking Attempt on a Cult Classic [Push Square]

What’s so enduring about the 1988 comedy-horror movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space is its stalwart dedication to the bit. Almost every kill the klowns make refers to some comedy act or circus trick, from shadow puppets scarfing down a group of pensioners to a puppet show turning into a shootout. Unfortunately, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game doesn’t match its freak.

Bad Ronald (1974) Movie Review [DVD Panache]

Earlier this month I wrote about my 12 Must (somehow Sees) -- rare or hard to find movies I long to view. I had little hope of watching any of these movies, but that was before good samaritan and all-around awesome blogger Marty McKee basically gave me a "step inside my office." Through Marty's goodwill, I will be able to cross two of those movies off my list, including the one I had most wanted to see -- Bad Ronald. A 1974 television movie, it seems like I've been aware of Bad Ronald for a long time, though I'm not sure when I first learned about it. I had high expectations for this movie, and am happy to say that they were largely exceeded.
