My Haunted Head

There was a time when Ozzy Osbourne was dangerous. He was the Prince of Darkness. Ozzy was a founding member of one of Britain's greatest bands, Black Sabbath, but it all came crashing down in a haze of drugs, alcohol and discontent. Until a fateful meeting put him on a trajectory which would make him one of the most celebrated artists in rock n roll. This is how it happened. All aboard the CRAZY TRAIN for episode 73 of My Haunted Head - The Fall and Rise of Ozzy Osbourne.

"In space, no one can hear you scream" was the tagline on the poster. But audiences could be heard screaming when Ridley Scott's terrifying science fiction masterpiece ALIEN opened in theaters in May of that year. In the almost 45 years since, ALIEN has been franchised with 7 sequels and prequels, expanding on the history and evolution of the deadly xenomorph species from the original film. It's Ridley Scott's ALIEN in episode #72 of My Haunted Head. Like, Share and SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss new episodes.

Since its release in 1974, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE has held a reputation as one of the most terrifying horror movies ever made. In the 1980's, a decade during which countless horror franchises were built, it seemed natural that a film like THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE would spawn a sequel. But for more than a decade, the saw remained silent. Until 1986, when director Tobe Hooper dragged his demented Sawyer clan back out of the shadows, and Cannon Films unleashed THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2. Join Toddzilla for a closer look at the legacy of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2. Available on your favorite podcast app. Please Like and SUBSCRIBE!

Return to the RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, as I discuss what makes this film so great. Available on your favorite podcast app NOW! Please Like, Share and SUBSCRIBE!

Let's take a look at one of the unsung treasures of the video era, a film as bloody (or bloodier) than many of the mainstream titles on your local videostore shelf.
