I've never been good at filling these things out, but here it goes. I like long walks in cold mountain air, preferably with snow on the ground. I enjoy drinking fine soda by the crackling fire, and deep tissue massage. I hope to one day grow up an become and astronaut, so I can fly to Venus to see if that's really where women come from. If it's true, I'll bring one back for you, too. Unless it's a dude you want, and then you're out of luck...sorry. My favorite month is October, because Halloween is the best holiday ever! It allows me to openly proclaim my love and obsession with scary movies without being seen as some sort of lunatic. Okay, not too much of a lunatic. I'm a huge fan of rock and metal music, and you'll often hear me blasting the control room speakers into oblivion every night during my show. My engineer doesn't like me very much, since he has to fix them. Sorry, Mike.

Got a nice invitation today to take a walk through the new venue that's going in next door to us here at WFGR. It's the new venue called 20 Monroe Live, and it's right between WFGR and the BOB downtown. It looks like it's going to be amazing!
‘Hostel Part III’ – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #10
So, Hostel was a big deal in the day, coming in early on the torture-porn genre that swept the world for a few years. It wasn't the most amazing movie, but it did spawn a couple sequels, including one shot in Detroit! Hostel Part III. The least exciting, and probably least graphic, of the series.
Monsters: Dark Continent – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #8
Last night, I watched what had popped up on my Google search on scary movies related to Michigan. I probably should have looked closer into this one, even though it has "Monsters" in the title. I thought, "Great! A monster movie!"
Nope...totally a crap movie that just happened to have monsters in the background.
Scream 4 – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #7
This month, I'm covering some of the horror movies filmed or based in Michigan, to get you ready for Halloween. There have been a LOT of movies filmed or based here, and so far, we've covered some classic and recent movies. Next up, a more pop-culture scary movie, and the fourth in the series. Scream 4.
Evil Dead (2013) – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #6
Yesterday, for Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, we covered the original The Evil Dead, made by Sam Raimi, and starring Bruce Campbell. The camp, the gore, the fun, the scary...that movie had it all. How do you even remake it?
With one of the best new versions ever. Super gory, more serious, surprising character changes...so much blood...Evil Dead, released in 2013, set a new standard for rema
‘Evil Dead’ – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #5
This month, I'm paying tribute to some of the horror movies that have been either filmed in Michigan, take place in Michigan, or both. I've covered some recent films in the first four installments. This time, I'm going way back to 1981, for one of the best horror movies from Michigan... or anywhere! The Evil Dead!
Jingles the Clown – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #4
For today's installment of Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween, I watched Jingles the Clown last night. It was made in Ypsilanti, MI, and set in "Michigan", and they weren't very specific, making it "the middle of nowhere". Is anyone going to be mad to not get location credit in this movie? No.
‘Jinn’ – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #3
Last night, I checked out another Michigan-made horror movie for October. It's called Jinn, and I was pleasantly surprised! We've already checked out movies from this year and last year, so going back to 2014 for Jinn seems like a reasonable next step!
Don’t Breathe – Michigan Horror Movies for Halloween #2
With Halloween fast approaching, I'm covering some of the movies that have been flimed in Michigan, or take place in our state. Yesterday, I covered a recent movie, It Follows, set in Detroit. Today, I bring you, Don't Breathe, and even new movie, also set in Detroit!
