dreamland shores & mall, 1990

Check out two of my poems in the latest issue of Map Literary.

"Dreamland Shores" which is after the 1977 film Empire of the Ants.

And "Mall, 1990" which is based off of photographs by Michael Galinsky.

70s eco horror fashion

If you're going to battle the terrors of mother nature, you might as well look good doing it.  Here are some fun fashions from 1970s eco horror pictures.


Judy Pace looking fly in Frogs (1972)

Cool denim shirt, cool headscarf & shades & yellow terrycloth: Sam Elliott and Joan Van Ark in Frogs.

Joan Collins in Empire of the Ants (1977) - I love how her giant shirt collar matches her head wrap.

Tiffany Bolling's super cool shades and neckscarf from Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)!

In Piranha (1978) Heather Menzies shows how wavy hair and a tied shirt are done.  And Bradford Dillman's Texas belt buckle, plaid shirt, and fisherman's vest are choice.

Looking Amity chic in Jaws (1975).

Denim coat & fisherman's hat.

Night of the Lepus (1972) 

Tartan plaid in Grizzly (1976).

Charlotte Rampling's wetsuit and Richard Harris's cableknit cardigan and newsboy cap in Orca (1977).  Love.

Elsa Lanchaster's pretty floral blouse in Willard (1971).

Roughing it in the rural south in Squirm (1976).

I like Michael Caine's jackets in The Swarm (1978).

More big collars & denim in Day of the Animals (1977).

Shelly Winters in Tentacles (1977).

from a whisper to a scream - retro horror gems on netflix instant: a guest post by karen g.

Sometimes living in the big city can be a bit overwhelming, even for the strongest and boldest of us. Lately, I’ve been finding great comfort in spending my evenings on my sofa that I’ve nicknamed “Ambien”, and browsing through the selection of instant horror downloads on Netflix. I won’t even get to touch on the incredible selection of creepy Asian horror available – but watch this space for my write-up on that another time!

An HDMI cable, a Wii, X-Box (or various other consoles) are all you’ll need to watch these downloads on your TV. If you don’t mind watching on your computer or laptop, do what I do and watch them at work.

While you may not find what is considered “top-shelf” selections, because of my alternate taste in movies, I’ve happened to find a bevy of cult and B-grade horror that is always enjoyable whether you’re ready to relax with a couple of good friends, a loved one, or even by yourself. So crack out the Jiffy Pop. Here are my suggestions for horror movies you have to check out on Netflix’s Instant download feature. I guarantee scares (or laughs for sure)!

Suspiria – 1977 – Dario Argento
An American ballet student at a dance academy in Germany discovers that all is not as it seems at the school. Known as the “Italian goremeister”, Dario Argento delivers an exceptionally creepy film, with the help of a bone-chilling soundtrack by Goblin. Warning, don’t watch this alone on a rainy night!

The Fury – 1978

There were a whole punch of pissed-off teenagers with telekinetic powers in the 70’s. Directed by Brian De Palma and with music by John Williams – how could you go wrong?

The Swarm – 1978 - Irwin Allen

And now for something realistically unsettling. This all-star cast shows us what to do if those African Killer Bees actually do make it to Manhattan.

Empire of the Ants – 1977 - Bert I. Gordon

When H.G. Wells’ imagination and Joan Collins collide…

Exorcist II – The Heretic - 1977 - John Boorman

A campy sequel to one of the scariest movies of all time. Unfortunately, no "Tubular Bells" in this one, but still worth a look.

From A Whisper To A Scream – 1987

Vincent Price tells four tales of the “cursed” town of Oldfield, Tennessee, and the residents who met gruesome fates.

The Thing – 1982

One of John Carpenter’s cinematic masterpieces in my mind. Terrifying on so many levels.

The Devil Within Her – 1975 - Peter Sasdy

So I have a mild obsession with Joan Collins. This is what I like to refer to as “Rosemary’s Baby without the budget”. Donald Pleasance plays the doctor who starts to realize that there really is something wrong with the baby.

The Manitou – 1978 - William Girdler

Tumors seek revenge! Native American Shamans vs. Tony Curtis!

The Howling – 1981 - Joe Dante

The Wasp Woman – 1959 – A Roger Corman classic

Popcorn – 1991 - Mark Herrier

Dolls – 1987 - Stuart Gordon

If you’ve ever been creeped out by those antique porcelain dolls, you’ve probably seen this movie. Dolls Gone Wild!

The Prowler – 1981 - Joseph Zito

Twins of Evil – 1971 - John Hough

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie – 1974 - Jorge Grau
