The Movie: "President Wolfman"
Where You Can Stream It: TubiTV
The Pitch: Being the President of the United States is a tough job, but for John Wolfman, his political problems are much worse than anything Watergate or even the January 6th insurrection could have brought to the table. President Wolfman is in an uphill battle to prevent his opponents from selling the United States to China through a controversial "Chimerica" international merger bill, save his son Bobby from being killed by his murderous Vice President, judge a Miss Teen Beauty Pageant, solve a mysterious series of brutal murders throughout the capitol, avoid both a crazed scientist and a vindictive Smokey the Bear, and try to hide the fact he transforms into...

Milton Moses Ginsberg, who developed a cult following for his low-budget indie films Coming Apart and The Werewolf of Washington, died May 23 in Manhattan. He was 85 and died from cancer, according to his wife, Nina Ginsberg.
Ginsberg was a film editor when his ambitions led him to make Coming Apart in 1969. The black and white film used a static camera to document Rip Torn as a psychiatrist who records his trysts with a hidden camera. The film received a good review from Richard Schickel, but some others – notably Andrew Sarris of the Village Voice – panned it.
Undaunted, Ginsberg tried again in 1973 with The Werewolf of Washington, which featured Dean Stockwell as a White House staffer who turns into a werewolf at inopportune times and murders characters based on well-known Washington figures of the era.
Ill health forced Ginsberg back to film editing. He worked on the Oscar-winning documentaries Down and...

The Werewolf of Washington Heights Written by Christie Perfetti Williams Directed by Charmaine Broad Presented by Carnival Girls Productions at The Kraine Theater, NYC October 11-22, 2017
Many readers these days probably know the feeling of anxiety about what appallingly reactionary new story will leap out at them every time that they set eyes or ears on a news source. To take just the latest in an interminable series of examples, as this review is being written, the head of the U.S. government is threatening to end aid to Puerto Rico, whose American citizens are denied governmental representation, a mere three weeks after an incredibly devastating natural disaster. As it happens, the production of Christie Perfetti Williams' new play, The Werewolf of Washington Heights, will donate one dollar of every online ticket sale to The Boys and Girls Club of Puerto Rico. It also focuses on the political effects (keeping...

Shock rises to the defense of the blackly comic 1973 shocker The Werewolf Of Washington. Opening with a foreboding image of a full moon rising and accompanied by Dean Stockwell’s creepy voice, The Werewolf Of Washington is a smart little film that parallels the cut throat ruthlessness of presidential candidacy with newfound social freedoms found…

There are few horror icons who are instantly recognizable. Karloff, Lugosi, Price, Cushing, Lee ... but there are even less who are women. Arguably the most recognizable of these is the luscious Elvira - Mistress of the Dark and her creator, Cassandra Peterson.
Elvira came into the public eye in the late spring of 1981 when Peterson auditioned for a horror movie host role at Khj-tv when the powers-that-be there sent out a casting all for someone to host their weekly horror show. The sultry Elvira - clad in a black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown - soon became a cultural phenomenon. With her dark, Morticia Addams-like makeup, a towering black beehive wig, and wickedly vampish appearance, her comical character was offset by a quirky, quick-witted personality and valley girl-type speech. Soon, her influence was seen on everything from beverage ads to pinball games to major motion pictures.

Entertainment One will distribute the enw Elvira’s Movie Macabre on home video and digital in North America in June, 2011.
Remember how Elvira relaunched her show this past fall? Did you not watch? I agree. It got shitty show times - often past midnight. What old person can stay up that late???
Now you can watch the new series and really enjoy it at a regular time, like 3Pm in the afternoon, with some weak tea and an egg-salad sandwich. The way Elvira meant it to be watched. Her show, Elvira's Movie Macabre, was relaunched this past fall and originally aired in the 1980s before half you little shits were even born.
The double-feature releases from Entertainment One will pair such really unwatchable public domain shit as George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead with I Eat Your Skin and a double-bill of Hammer Film’s The Satanic Rites of Dracula...

Election Day is over, and while some are celebrating and others are licking their wounds, here's a new video from the one and only Elvira that's sure to bring a smile to your face no matter which side you're on.
After an exhausting Halloween, Elvira needed some time to get her beauty rest back in her dungeon... er, I mean lavish salon. So our good friend "Sarah Impalin'" stepped in to help present this week's movie, The Werewolf of Washington. And nobody knows how to take down a werewolf better than our very own Iditarod Queen!
Ooh, look! I can see Transylvania from here!
