Horror on the Lens: Equinox (dir by Jack Woods and Dennis Muren)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s horror on the lens is a film that Gary reviewed a few years ago.  

First released in 1970, Equinox is a low-budget film about a bunch of kind of dumb teenagers who find a book and end up getting chased around the woods by a bunch of angry monsters.

Equinox is a fun little movie.  The acting may not be the greatest and this is one of those films where everyone always seems to do the stupidest possible thing at the worst possible time but there’s a lot of charm to be found in the monsters.  This film is thought, by many, to have inspired the Evil Dead and there are some definite similarities.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Would You Love A Monsterman by Lordi (2002, directed by ????)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

There are actually two music videos of Lordi’s Would You Love A Monsterman, one that was released in 2002 and another one from 2006.  This is the 2002 video.

This version features a young girl playing with a dirty doll in the woods when Lordi suddenly appears and invites her to join them.  They even set her doll on fire but she still decides to join.  That is the power of Lordi.

Lordi is a Finnish band, who have been making music since 1992.  An earlier version of Would You Love A Monsterman was recorded under the title I Would Do It All For You in 1993.  When I Would Do It All For You was turned into Would You Love a Monsterman in 2002, it became Lordi’s first big hit.

Four years after this video was released, Lordi would make history as both the only Finnish and the only “hard rock” act to win the Eurovision song contest with their song, Hard Rock Hallelujah.
