Alice Cooper didn’t delay after his sober comeback from Constrictor, and his single “He’s Back (The Man Behind The Mask),” which was featured in Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives [1986], that he released Raise Your Fist and Hell on September 28, 1987 with sadly some of the worst artwork  from a major label,…


Killer Workout (1987) – By Baron Craze

One of the toughest aspects in all of filmmaking, after the financial backing is secure, is having a crew and cast respect and support, many directors have been dismissed over it, writers fired or flat-out quit due to it, and stars leaving a project due the hostilities. However, in many low to no budgets one…


Halloween II (1981) – By Baron Craze

It surprises no one that after Halloween [1978] became a box office hit that the producers and studios would want a sequel, especially since the film assisted in the launch of the slasher genre with Friday the 13th [1980], though a few blips proceeded it. In 1981, before the filming actually started, over 10-movies on…

Alice Cooper: Constrictor (1986) – By Baron Craze

The early eighties were heavily unkind to Alice Cooper, releasing four albums that which would have sunk other artists’ careers, he had struggled to survive the blackout drinking and the dismal and atrocious records Flush The Fashion (1980), Special Forces (1981), Zipper Catches Skin (1982), and Dada (1983); however he worked hard to regain his sobriety (still never…

Rush: Moving Pictures (1981) Music Review – By Vincent Mento

While I was born in the very early 70s my musical tastes were not affirmed until the 80s learning that not one single decade hones my ear for input, rather what the musicians create that captured my attention. There’s obviously The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, and plenty…


Zombie Brigade (1989) – By Baron Craze

Zombie Brigade (also known as Zombie Commando) is considered by some as one of Australian’s exploitation market films, however to horror fans, it’s just another example of zombies staggering mindlessly while confusing everyone on the screen and in the audience too. Directors and writers Carmelo Musca and Barrie Pattison, present a fair story of an…
