The Rants and Raves of Jack Angry,the angriest man in the city of Omaha and possibly the state of Nebraska. You can expect almost anything to happen here.
We have had some really fantastic guests on the Blogtalk Radio show Live From the Monastary of Mayhem recently. We have Had the Lovely Janet Decay to listen to that click here a great new up and coming horror hostes from ohio. The Sinister Minister (sean smith) and His lovely alter girl Serpentina. 80s adult Film Icon Kay Parker and All the success we have had with our Local Omaha Public Access Tv shoe The Angry Brothers Omaha Shock O Rama.

What I want to talk about today is Indie horror TV www.indiehorror.tv and all the help and support they have given us and allowing us to be their face of Saturday nights. Also we wish to thank them for their loyalty when the people were trying to sabotage our relationship with them and bringing it to our attention thanks Robert.
After a delay of 3 weeks I am finally sitting down and putting my stubby little digits to the keyboard to bring you my review of the 2013 remake of the 1981 classic Sam Rami film The Evil Dead. The Film opens to show a young girl chained to a pillar in a dirt floor basement/cellar, the bodies of numerous small animals are suspended on hooks and chains and a ceremony is being conducted by a snaggletoothed hillbilly voodoo/hoodoo priestess and her equally toothless assistants. The girl chained to the post begins to cry for her mother and is informed by a participating member (her father) that the mother is dead, then shit gets weird what ever demon/spirit/entity that is possessing her decides to chime in with its 2 cents worth (very disconcerting demon voice ala Exorcist). The voodoo mountain woman tells daddy that the only way to save his daughters soul it to light her up, daddy does this by throwing a jar of gasoline on her and flicking his zippo the effect is not what he hoped for as this only elicits a pissy tirade from the demon. Finally in exasperation daddy proceeds to vaporize pumpkins head in a point blank shotgun blast ( very excellent special effects here ).
This opening scene is a departure from the original, from that point on the movie unfolds introducing us to the character of dana (Jane Levy) the failed rehab goer giving it another try at being clean and sober. Her brother Daniel (Shilo Fernandez) and friends eric olivia and natalie ( I guess cubby, corky and annette were busy..LOL) finally rounding out our little group is grandpa the dog (Inca).
The Drama of Dana and her fall from rehab and the strains it places on her relationship with daniel and their unresolved issues with their mother who also died of a long terminal illness dominate the 1st third of of the film then they discover the root cellar and the Book of the dead. The Bookworm of the group Eric begins reading from the book (dumbass move yes but we wouldn't have much of a movie without it). This awakens the kandarian demon who begins to posses and destroy the group one by one. The Film continues thru some memorable amputations and envicerations and vomit scenes with members of the group falling one by one until it is eric, daniel and the dana. Daniel sacrifices himself batteling the possessed eric by firebombing the cabin so dana can make her escape, however she must face the demon before being truly free.
All in all I found this to be a very well done homage to rami's 1981 The Evil Dead. I especially liked the touches of having bruce campbell appear in the end credits along with a audio excerpt from the original film.
The plot and storyline of this remake flowed along very nicely and covered all the main points necessary to provide sufficeint comparison to the original. In closing I would highly recommend it to the uninitiated as well as hardcore rami fans and deadites everywhere.
It has been a while since I have done a blog post, a lot has happened The tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombings and subsequent death of one of the bombers and capture of the other. As always our thoughts and prayers are with the victims the injured and their families. We have lost many celebrities over the last 30-45 days, these Celebs include, Annette Funicello, Jonathan Winters & Roger Ebert just to name a few. We Have bid farewell to our dear friend Dr Mel Praxis (not deceased but deciding to get out of the horror host game) we wish him well in all his endeavors and we will be touching base with him for an update.
Also we have seen the Big Horrorhound Weekend convention come and go. Have read a lot of great stories of the goings on at this from other sources including Svengoolie, and the Terror beyond the daves blog.
We did wish to extend our congrats to Svengoolie and Count Gore De Vol on their winning of the Rondo Awards for Best active Horror host (Sven) and Best Monster Kid (Count Gore) old brother Jack will have to keep punching ... maybe next year.
On a somewhat lighter note, the weather is warming up, things are becoming green again, the smell of spring in the air. With those positive inputs from the universe at large I do feel a renewal of spirit and of creativity and the drive to continue bringing our fans and views the best possible shows myself and my crew can produce in spite of the efforts and comments of those who would try to stop us. We have just finished episode # 60 of the show and episode 5 of our movie review program Movie Night Live from the Monastery of Mayhem. The Blogtalk show will be returning after a small hiatus. The numbers I am getting on listeners from blogtalk have been very encouraging and am looking forward to bringing you all more and even better guests.
Look for even better sponsors in the coming months and for more appearences in the Omaha metro area, you all aint seen nothing yet.
Also We do want to imapart some sadder information a good friend of our show and fellow horror host Dr Mel Praxis aka keenan powell had desided to fold production on his program Movie Madness with Dr praxis sighting the recent situations with public domain movies being the cause. We had dr praxis and terril roe from The Horror Congress on our show on monday to discuss this you can catch it here

With this being the new year I wanted to take a minuet to look back on 2012 and take stock of what I had to really be thankful for I have a great show, great co-stars, great family and great fans and friends. Those are really the best gifts anyone could get for the holidays or anytime. There have been tragedies as well such as the shootings in colorado and Sandy Hook School in CT our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by these horrific events and their families, lets all try to make 2013 a far better year than 2012 was and continue moving forward.
So in closing I will no longer be ending the blogs and the show with our signature phrase "Unpleasant Dreams" but will be using a more positive and upbeat one so with that in mind.....
