TV host Don Wildman leaves the museum to delve into the paranormal June 8

In “Buried Worlds with Don Wildman,” the iconic Travel Channel host takes his thirst for adventure into terrifying new territory to explore mankind’s darkest mysteries. In his newest series premiering on Travel Channel on Monday, June 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Wildman is on a mission of a more cryptic sort, heading to remote regions of Peru, Haiti, Bulgaria and beyond – visiting the dark chasms and caverns of the paranormal and supernatural, tracking alleged lingering ghosts, devilish demons, vampires and witches burned at the stake. His global quest to explore the world’s most terrifying mysteries will consist of seven hour-long episodes and a two-hour special event finale airing on Monday, July 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Later in the season, Wildman’s journey takes him to the coast of Peru – the site of the world’s largest mass human sacrifice, never revealed before on TV – and comes face-to-face with an ancient tribal god.

 

 

“’Buried Worlds’ is a quest that flips the switch on the paranormal and the supernatural, and sheds new light on the dark origin of legends and myths,” says Wildman.  “And I investigate those legends and myths first-hand, traveling to their sources in some very surprising places.”

 

 

In the premiere episode, Wildman begins his adventure by traveling to Eastern Europe to discover the truth behind the haunting stories of vampires that still linger and torment rural Bulgarian towns. He joins a group of active vampire hunters as they investigate an abandoned village terrorized by vampires and uncover what looks to be the tomb of one of them. He continues his journey by diving into the history of these beings, not only in Bulgaria, but in Hungary as well. As Wildman discovers the dark past of vampires and witches, he is given the opportunity to contact the spirits of those who have passed, with the help of a modern-day witch. To bring his adventure full circle, he explores the dark truth of the infamous Count Dracula.

Five Great Vampire Movies For Halloween — Or Any Time

Five Great Vampire Movies For Halloween — Or Any Time

Sure, it’s only August, but those Halloween decorations are creeping into stores, not that anyone needs Halloween as an excuse for a good vampire flick. What’s better than a good vampire movie any time of year? Why, five good vampire movies, of course. And by vampire movies, we’re not talking about the kind where they sparkle in sunlight. We’re talking bloodsucking, garlic-hating, and exploding in the daylight, like a vampire should.

The Most Interesting Man in the World

When people think of vampires, they often think of sexy immortal beings, but once again, we are not talking about Robert Pattinson. We’re talking about the legend of the silver screen who preyed on those damsels in distress and made them swoon: the late, great Sir Christopher Lee.

Lee gave up his capes and his coffins long ago, but even after his passing, his legendary portrayal of The Count remains one of the favorite Draculas of all time. Some of the later films were of somewhat uneven quality, that you can’t go wrong with Horror of Dracula, according to ScreenRant.

An Homage to the House of Hammer

Francis Ford Coppola’s take on the vampire film, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, harkens back to the Victorian-style of the old Hammer horror films, which regularly featured Lee and Peter Cushing. Coppola made the great decision to cast Gary Oldman as the legendary bloodsucker, although paired with a somewhat questionable casting of Keanu Reeves, but it still made the cut for one of Movie Pilot’s all-time favorites. Both of them fight over Winona Ryder to win her heart and soul, in classic Gothic melodramatic style.

With lush sets, costuming, and style, Bram Stoker’s Dracula spins the vampire story as a dark, Victorian romance.

Lost and Found Again

The CW has announced plans to develop a TV version of The Lost Boys, the vampire classic with Jami Gertz and loads of eye candy for the ladies. Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patrick starred in this movie, along with the “two Coreys,” Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. This film makes a lot of favorite lists, including this one by Horror Movies.

Not only does The Lost Boys play up the sex appeal of vampires in a more modern setting, but it gives them a rock ‘n roll edge. With those motorcycles, it plays a bit as Nosferatu meets Sons of Anarchy. Bonus for the always delightful Dianne Wiest as the naïve mother who has no idea her sons are dealing with vampires right under her nose.

All in the Family

Another fresh take on vampire movies comes from The Queen of Scream, which recommends Near Dark. You may not have heard of this one, as it was only a small independent film when it was released back in 1987. This sexy little vampire western was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, of Point Break and The Hurt Locker fame. It features Bill Pullman and Lance Henriksen, who are part of a family of outlaw vampires roaming the country for victims.

At the heart of the story is the romance between a nice vampire girl who falls in love with a nice farm boy. Suffice it to say, the vampire family is less than enthused with her choice, and not so patient with that farm boy’s unwillingness to adapt to their ways.

Stick with the Original

One of the many horror classic remakes of recent years was a modern take on Fright Night, which originally starred Chris Sarandon as a suave and sexy vampire who somehow falls for the annoying and dorky girlfriend of the kid next door. I don’t care who she looks like from the past, that’s really pushing one’s ability to suspend disbelief. But Den of Geek recognizes Fright Night as a horror classic that should make about any vampire flick list.

This Halloween camp classic casts Roddy McDowell as the fading late-night horror movie host recruited by a vampire-hunting teen, and Chris Sarandon as some serious eye candy with a little too much bite. The hallmark of a great vampire performance is when you root for the vampire to win. It’s fair to say that most ladies watching Fright Night will be solidly #TeamSarandon.

This is far from an all-inclusive list but will make a great vampire movie marathon for your Halloween party or any time you want a great scary night of vampire films.

Get In The Holiday Spirit With These Five Halloween-Themed Movies

Get In The Holiday Spirit With These Five Halloween-Themed Movies

If you’re planning your Halloween party or just a night at home with your own horror marathon, here’s a perfect list to draw from to create your perfect Halloween movie night. Or if you just want to get in the spirit while you’re putting up your Halloween decorations, these movies will set the mood.

The Obvious

At the top of any list of Halloween-themed movies it’s no surprise to find the original Halloween movie by John Carpenter. Originally called The Babysitter Murders, this small film made both its director and Jamie Lee Curtis stars. While Rob Zombie put his own spin on this horror classic a few years ago, you have to go with the original on this one.

As an interesting side note, trivia buffs may not know that the mask for Michael Myers was a modified mask of William Shatner, from Star Trek. Another tidbit of trivia for this film is the soundtrack was written by Carpenter himself. Was it born out of talent, or a really low budget? Who cares, because the soundtrack really adds to the suspense and tension.

Halloween has become so iconic it was even featured in the film Scream, with characters from that movie gathered at a party watching Jamie Lee fighting off one of the greatest screen villains of all time.

Zombie A Go-Go

Speaking of Rob Zombie, the metal musician turned horror director paid tribute to a lot of classic horror films and his favorite holiday with his first full-length release, House of 1000 Corpses. Some poor kids break down in the wrong place at the wrong time and find themselves the guests of honor at the Halloween celebration of a homicidal family. And this is a case where being a guest of honor is definitely not an honor or a good thing.

Some horror fans hated the film and accused it of being derivative. It’s a fine line between being derivative and paying homage to the horror films of your youth, but when you cast cult actress Karen Black in a film, it’s fair to give the benefit of the doubt and side with homage.

Go with the Source Material

While most horror remakes pale in comparison to the original, Night of the Demons may have one of the worst remakes in history. You definitely want to go with the 1988 original film where a group of not-so-bright high school kids decide to have a Halloween party in a mortuary. Then they double down by holding a séance that calls up a demon who begins to possess the partygoers and slaughter everyone else.

A New Halloween Classic

While one should always include John Carpenter’s Halloween in any Halloween movie list, a more recent film has become a holiday favorite among horror fans. Trick ‘R Treat is a horror anthology that intertwines Halloween night stories and overlaps characters, serving up the perfect blend of horror and humor. The film also introduced the world to a brand-new villain, Sam (as in Samhain.)

Due to studio battles, the film almost didn’t see the light of day, which would have been a terrible shame as this has become a real favorite among horror fans. Trick ‘R Treat mixes in some real Halloween mythology into the stories and creates a Halloween street party that someone needs to re-create in real life. Werewolves, witches, zombies, and serial killers — Trick ‘R Treat has at all.

More Halloween Tales

Tales of Halloween wants to be the new Trick ‘R Treat, with an anthology of 10 different Halloween stories. While it fails to rise to its predecessor, there’s no shame in that. It’s a fun anthology of short stories that never lingers long enough on one tale to bore its viewers.

With a huge cast and some of horror’s hottest directors, you know you’re going to rock things old school when a film is introduced by Adrienne Barbeau. Most people know her from the TV series Maude and her rather sexy role in the cult classic Swamp Thing, but Barbeau was once married to John Carpenter, hence her appearance in many horror films of the time.

Five Must-See Werewolf Movies For Halloween Or The Next Full Moon

Five Must-See Werewolf Movies For Halloween Or The Next Full Moon

Werewolf movies can be some of the hardest to produce, with the need for elaborate special effects makeup or costuming to create realistic transformations. But when they’re done right, werewolf movies are some of the scariest movies you’ll ever see. Here is a great playlist of five must-see werewolf movies, plus a couple of more obscure suggestions you may not have heard about that you should check out if you get a chance. These are great for Halloween, or any full moon when you want to embrace your inner beast and howl at the moon.

Roaming the English Moors

An American Werewolf in London has become a cult classic and remains one of the most critically acclaimed werewolf movies ever. You won’t find any CGI here, and this old-fashioned transformation scene is still putting a lot of CGI to shame. It may be known for its humor, but this John Landis werewolf movie also has a couple of very scary and disturbing dream sequences.

E.T.’s Mom Gets Primal

The Howling stands up to the test of time, with Dee Wallace (E.T.) trying to recover from a near-fatal arrow werewolf attack at a remote retreat in the country. Even though some of the effects in this werewolf classic are a bit crude, there is one classic animatronic transformation scene and some great ironic humor. That ironic humor delivers one of the most chilling aspects of the film, as smiley face stickers are used to mark places that don’t inspire smiles. Check out the actress who plays the very feral Marsha, Elisabeth Brooks, who could pass for the Angelina Jolie of the day.

Werewolves + Stephen King = Awesome

Horror fans have been going nuts over the Netflix original Stranger Things, a retro-style home eyes to classic Stephen King films. And one of those Stephen King classics is the werewolf movie Silver Bullet, starring Gary Busey before he went kind of crazy, and the late Corey Haim. Great campy fun and always some scares when the material is sourced from the mad genius of Stephen King. If you haven’t seen it before, you may be surprised at who is the big, bad wolf.

Werewolves + Puberty = Not So Awesome

Werewolves are terrifying enough in their own right, but when you combine them with the horrors of coming of age, especially for girls, you’re really onto something. One of the most original and inspired werewolf movies in recent years was the not-so-sweet coming-of-age story, Ginger Snaps. Suffice it to say that the smell of first blood draws a werewolf attack on one of the most emo pairs of suicidal sisters ever, with cheeky and scary results that follow. This movie brings all new meaning to having “The Curse,” and anyone who’s ever felt like the outcast will empathize with these two sisters in their suburban nightmare.

When Remakes Work

The Wolf Man (2010) retells the tale of the 1941 classic, with Sir Anthony Hopkins and Benicio del Toro doing justice to the role of Lawrence Talbot, the tortured soul transformed into a beast by the light of the full moon. Lush sets and costuming enhance some nice CGI work, transforming the original into a modern gothic classic.

Off The Beaten Path

There are a few other werewolf movies worth looking up, even though they are a bit more obscure. Dog Soldiers is a low-budget thriller with some good scares, as well as Full Eclipse, with Mario Van Peebles. And for more of a dark version of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale, try The Company of Wolves. It’s more surreal than scary, but has one of the best werewolves ever, seducing his own Little Red Riding Hood.

Halloween may fall around the dark moon this year, but you can still enjoy some full moon scares with these classic werewolf horror films.
