He also plays the evil kinda undead wizard, Xusia, in the beyond campy sandals & sorcery epic, The Sword & The Sorcerer.

Basically if the movie needed a big scary guy and it was made in the 80's or 90's, Richard Moll played that guy.

RIP Father Esteban.  Wait a sec...

Anyway..

In addition to being a gnarly horror movie, Evilspeak may be the greatest anti-bullying PSA ever made and it's Halloween so it's the best season to right an old wrong and check it out.

I will again put forward my controversial opinion that I prefer the Shaft’s Big Score theme by OC Smith to the original Issac Hayes theme.

 

You are wrong.  OC Smith opening title track is awesome, but Shaft in Africa opening creds are by the mother fucking Four Tops.

I know this is going to make me a jerk but how do you drown in a jacuzzi?  Well as an adult as a kid I understand.    I guess you can possible get caught something or banged his head and can't get lift up but most are only at most a 4 foot pool.    Really sad as it seemed like all of his previous issues he had dealt with

I enjoyed what I caught of Friends with him and the WHole Nine/Ten Yards movies. A pity to see him gone so soon and like that.

Suzanne Shepherd who was most famous as Carmella’s mother on The Sopranos passed at 89, she was also in Goodfellas as Karen Hill’s mother.  She was amazing in one of the most underrated Sopranos episodes Marco Polo.

Aw man I loved Sword and the Sorcerer. That might be the best Albert Pyun movie after Nemesis and Cyborg (and after Sword there's a biiiiiiig drop-off). 

No love for Dollman? I have the Blu-ray somewhere it’s amazing.

I haven't seen it since I was a kid but remember thinking it was solid enough. I was a BIG Full Moon fan when I was a kid though. The Puppet Master films, Subspecies films, awful trash like Arcade and Dollman vs. Demonic Toys even. The whole self-contained oeuvre that they had, with the in-house soundtracks and filmmakers and box art, etc. In retrospect they only had a handful of actually good movies (Puppet Master III, The Pit and the Pendulum, Castle Freak) but it was all really fun for pre-adolescent me. 

EDIT: Ha, here's a funny memory. I was visiting my aunt and uncle and cousins down in Florida. I don't remember where the kids were, but they were gonna go out and whoop it up and took me to a Blockbuster first to give me a rental to watch to give me something to do. I picked out Trancers 4 or 5, can't remember which, because my aunt was crowing about slasher movies and how she didn't want me to watch something violent. It looked passable for her and it was a Full Moon picture, so I thought that'd work. It did, and she was relieved. They take off and I put in the video, the trailers start... and they're trailers for Charles Band's Torchlight Entertainment subsidiary label films, full of nude women! Totally unexpected, and awesome.

I'm heartbroken over the loss of my baby brother.
I really know that all of you meant the world to him.
It's YOU that made this all happen.
Thank you for being there with us all these years.
Love, Sid
