Curse of the Werewolf (Power Records, 1975)


The werewolf film genre has always been a thorn in my side for years....the only reason I tend to dislike it is simply a question of originality.

I mean, outside of Universal Pictures' classic The Wolf Man and The Howling (and remember, everything in this blog is personally my opinion, and you know what they say about those...), I find that every werewolf film produced is basically a rehash of the same friggin' story....

So, having said that...I still have no clue whatsoever why I like the Marvel Comics' character Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night....maybe it's the thought that the character was named after an absolutely cute little breed of dog that I adore....

Be sure to check out our sister site, Who's Who....Cares?, for Marvel Spotlight #2...the 1st app. of Werewolf By Night.

Blade: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1998)

The Mighty Marvel Monsterbash 2008 continues!!!

The first BLADE film has been cited as being the harbinger of the current wave of popularity in comic book and superhero properties in Hollywood. It certainly turned the tide on Marvel's lengthy string of bad luck concerning adaptations of their characters on the silver screen....

It's one of the few film adaptations of a comic book property in which I can honestly say that there were some drastic changes made from the source material, yet no one really complained...

For the ability to compare and contrast the two interpretations of the character, feel free to swing by Who's Who...Cares? for a look at Tomb of Dracula #10, the character's first appearance on the comics page...

Jerry Reed R.I.P.

Late last month, an idol of mine passed on.

From Wikipedia:

Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937August 31, 2008), known professionally as Jerry Reed, was an American country music singer, country guitarist, session musician, songwriter, and actor who appeared in over a dozen films. As a singer, he may be best known for "Amos Moses", and "When You're Hot, You're Hot", for which he received the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1972 and "East Bound and Down", the theme song to the first Smokey and the Bandit movie in which he portrayed the "Snowman", Cledus Snow.

Reed was not only an amazing song-writer and guitarist, but a damn good humorist, as well.


Plus....he was on an episode of Scooby Doo...



So...for download this time around....the soundtrack to Smokey and the Bandit:
