TriffidMania

Wolfman Macs Nightmare Sinema is usually on Saturday nights at midnight and I tape it so I can watch it the next day. A while ago he showed the movie Night of the Triffids which is a pretty bad B-movie about killer plants taking over the world after a massive meteor shower blinds everyone on Earth except for a few people. Wolfman Mac did a few skits with these muppet looking Triffids and it was a fun show to watch. After watching Nightmare Sinema I remember seeing the 1981 remake of Night of the triffids in a BBC Network DVD catalog, which I've watched online and I've seen a few well done Triffid videos on YOUTUBE. Think of a Triffid as a cross between a Venus Flytrap and a Easter Lilly . Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz appeared on The Colbert Report recently and compared Dominican cane fields to Triffids because they crack in the wind . There's even the original Day of the Triffids novel by John Wyndham and the sequel night of the Triffids by Simon Clark.The movie 28 days later was even inspired by Day of the Triffids So Wolfman Mac I think you started something.

I've always liked Horror movie Hosts. Sir Graves Ghastly with his Laugh, The Ghoul Blowing things up with his M-80's, Sven Goolie with his Parody songs and Big Chuck & lil John with their certain ethnic humor . The first time I used a computer I looked up things from my childhood and spent a lot of time researching The Ghoul . When I first met the Ghoul 5 years ago at the Motor City Comic Con I introduced myself shook his hand we talked and he signed an autograph for me . This year I Saw the Ghoul again chatted and had a great time,AND ,I also met Wolfman Mac who has his own horror hosted show . Mac was super friendly when we talked and that really made me a Wolfman Mac fan .Another Horrorhost, Creepy Clyde is also pretty cool. When I first met The Ghoul I also met Creepy Clyde. I remember telling Creepy Clyde that I worked for Farmer Jack and Clyde sang me the Farmer Jack Jingle.A fine bunch of guys and I hope Nightmare Sinema is on for a long time .
