“In celebration of Mr. Skin’s 10th anniversary the site counted down the top 100 nude scenes of all time. <snip> Horror Yearbook would like to congratulate Mr. Skin on 10 years of “Fast-forwarding to the good parts, and thank him for making the interwebs a fun place!”

“The movie brat spirit is alive and well, judging by the determination of Emily Hagins, the twelve-year-old subject of “Zombie Girl: The Movie.” With the help of family, friends and a surprisingly generous grant, Hagins managed to complete a feature-length undead saga at a time when most kids are grappling with homework and puberty. Although clearly in its early stages, Hagins’s vision provokes more curiosity than unintentional humor. She’s not a child prodigy — nobody refers to her as the next Mozart or Spielberg — but nonetheless manages to relentlessly pursue her directorial vision. The result proves that there’s no age limit on cinematic expression.”
“Number two on the Burton double feature – The Nightmare Before Christmas. I know; it’s neither Halloween nor Christmas, but I think this is one you can watch year-round.
Nightmare dates all the way back to 1980. Burton worked on Fox and the Hound and the Black Cauldron and then started working on his own animations such as Frankenweenie and Vincent – Nightmare was in that group of projects he worked on.
You know the voices of the characters; you just don’t know you do (or maybe you do). Jack’s speaking voice is done by Chris Sarandon, who is Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride. Sally is voiced by the legendary Catherine O’Hara, who has been in everything from SCTV to Home Alone and Christopher Guest’s mockumentaries Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. If Dr. Finklestein sounds familiar, I bet you’re also a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation fan: he was the cigar-smoking, toupee-wearing Uncle Lewis. The Mayor of Halloween Town is voiced by Glenn Shadix, Otho from Beetlejuice, and if you listen closely, you’ll notice that Lock is voiced by Pee Wee himself – Paul Reubens.”

The official Star Trek Movie site has unleashed new trekkie goodies. In addition to a new HD trailer due out in just 6 days, there are new movie posters available in the “Download” section.
An interactive zombie movie
“Finally, an interactive zombie movie! It’s kind of like a video “Choose Your Own Adventure,” but with undead corpses, violence, and copious swearing. So you might not want to view this at work or within earshot of impressionable children.”

“Tenugui have a long history with Japanese culture. They are used as head coverings, in festivals, as flags, as banners, as thank you gifts, etc. Technically, they are towels, but since they are not towels as those known in the west, we didn’t want to mislead you into thinking you’d be able to rub R2-D2 all over your body. That’s right: R2-D2. Because these Tenugui are not only from Japan, but also from long, long ago and far, far away.”
In the movie “Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay“, Harold & Kumar borrow a friend’s car, only to find a Nokia 7710 attached to the dashboard.
The Nokia 7710 was originally intended as a smartphone to compete with Apple’s famous iPhone, and runs on Symbian, the open-source operating system for mobile phones. It features a touch-screen color LCD with a resolution of 640×320 pixels and 65,535 colors, 90 MB internal memory, an SD slot to upgrade the memory to 2 GB, a built-in video camera, and supports FM radio and bluetooth capabilities.
Despite competing against one of the largest companies in the mobile arena, the Nokia 7710 received rave reviews upon its discovery. GSM Arena, for example, gave the device an average score of 8.2 out of 10.
In the movie “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay“, on the plane at the start of the movie, we see Harold and Kumar watching a movie on a brand-new black MacBook Pro. First announced in January 2006, the MacBook Pro was the successor to the G4 Powerbook models. Although the G4 Powerbook did not live up to its expectations, the MacBook Pro was an instant hit with both Apple aficionados and newcomers alike. It was also the first Apple notebook to feature the use of Intel processors instead of the proprietary Apple PowerPC. Slick, thin, light, and sophisticated, the MacBook Pro is slowly becoming a notebook to reckon with.
May 20, 1979 – Star Wars
TV to empty room: “It is twelve o’clock, Earth time. May the force be with you.“
I almost forgot what an amazing performance Jeff Healey gave in the 1989 hit movie “Road House“. He plays the role of Cody, a local guitarist playing in a very raunchy bar. We first meet Cody when James Dalton (played by Patrick Swayze) is hired as a bouncer. In addition to playing guitar like only Jeff Healey can, his character stays on-set, and appears throughout the movie, both as an artistic musician and a brilliant actor.
Born with cancer of the eye, he never let his blindness stop him from becoming one of the greatest blues and jazz musicians of the 20th century. Sadly, after being cancer-free for 38 years, the cancer spread to his legs, and he died shortly afterwards on March 2nd of this year.
If you haven’t yet heard the amazing talents of this great Canadian superstar, I invite you to do it now. His passing away has struck a chord in many people, and he will be missed.
