I was a “Monster Kid” and “The Weird Kid, The Horror Movie Kid.” I found out early…horror is always personal.
Now I make horror for a living. It shouldn’t just be WATCHED.Horror should be ENJOYED.
This isn’t some stuffy analysis telling you what’s good or bad. Instead, it’s a tour of the 1930s through the 1980s—a personal account of how the best and worst of this era gave us so many memories and experiences that impacted our own lives. It’s fun…just how horror should always be.
Whether it’s crowds screaming in terror at Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Alien, Dawn of the Dead, Sleepaway Camp and so many more; or audiences laughing out loud at The Amityville Horror, Prophecy or Jaws The Revenge—my goal is to show how movies on the big screen or late night cable and home video brought us together. I also examine historical context and its importance to a film’s success and why so many reboots and remakes seem to fail.

Todos reaccionamos o actuamos de forma distinta frente a ciertas circunstancias cuando interactuamos con las personas; ello permite generar las impresiones que otros tienen acerca de nosotros. Esas virtudes o defectos nos delatan y muestran rasgos de nuestra personalidad que terminan definiendo quiénes somos y por qué tenemos más compatibilidad con unos que con otros. Hoy deseo mostrarte qué tipo de temperamento y personalidad domina tus emociones. ¿Estás listo para conocerla y como puedes enriquecerla? Alguna vez te has preguntado ¿por qué no eres tan creativo cómo otros?, o si eres creativo, ¿porque no eres detallista como otros?, o si eres muy flexible, ¿porque otras personas son más organizadas que tú? O si eres muy extrovertido, ¿porque hay otras personas que son más reflexivas? La respuesta es la siguiente, todos somos distintos y tenemos diferente temperamento y personalidad que provienen de una mezcla de genética que se da con nuestra formación temprana desde niños.
Sinceramente, ¿siempre pensamos lo que decimos? Honestamente no. Todas las personas tenemos momentos incongruentes donde nos desconocemos y nos desconocen los demás, esto es parte de la vida. Incluso hay personas que nos consideran ecuánimes y eso en general es cierto, pero la verdad es que cuando estamos en situaciones de vulnerabilidad cuando nos sentimos atacados perdemos el control de nuestras emociones y esto nos hace decir cosas que no reflejan lo que somos. Descontrol, desconcierto, desequilibrio, desorden, incomodidad, desajuste, enojo, etc., cuantas palabras para definir que perdimos la estabilidad emocional que los demás están acostumbrados a ver en nosotros y que no nos es posible mantener en momentos en los que se rebasan nuestros límites.

Did you know Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, and that during the last three months of his life he completed an average of one painting every day?
Did you know that Michelangelo's David is covered in a dusting of human skin?
Did you know Caravaggio murdered several people while he was painting some of the most glorious paintings of Biblical scenes the world has ever known?
Rembrandt Is in the Wind: Audio Lectures is an invitation to discover some of the world's most celebrated artists and works, while presenting the Gospel of Christ in a way that speaks to the struggles and longings common to the human experience.
These lectures are part art history, part Biblical study, part philosophy, and part analysis of the human experience; but it's all story. These sessions traverse the chronological arc of art history in the West, from the Italian Renaissance on. Some artists are well known, others not as much. But together, the stories of their works raise important questions about humanity's hunger and capacity for glory, and all of them teach us to love and see beauty.
In December of 1992, filming began on a secret Fantastic Four movie. Several months earlier, Bernd Eichinger met with legendary producer and director Roger Corman about making the movie before his rights expired at the end of the year. The movie was finished in 1993 and scheduled for a 1994 release. Before the premiere, Marvel bought the film and the negative was destroyed. The Fantastic Four would never be seen. However, a single copy made during a routine transfer leaked out and found its way to comic conventions and eventually to the internet. Marvel refuses to recognize its existence.
Was the film bought up and canceled to preserve the integrity of later Fantastic Four films? Was Marvel unable to bear being cut out of the making of one of its biggest properties? Was the movie just a desperate move on Eichinger’s part to extend his option and give him leverage with Marvel? And what was Corman’s part in all of this? Was he a partner in some larger conspiracy, was he fooled along with the cast and crew into thinking this would be released, or did he have his own hidden agenda? Who knew what when?
Drawing from extensive interviews with the cast, crew, and producers, the true story behind the first Fantastic Four movie ever and one of the greatest Hollywood mysteries is finally revealed a quarter of a century later. Shelved. Burned. Hidden. Forsaken.
