Wildside Press has hosted a forum for mystery movie discussions for 15+ years. I had hoped to move most of the discussions here, but the integration is not going as smoothly as I had hoped. For the time being, I have added a link to both the new forums and the old forums under the "Forums" tab for convenience.

Thank you for stopping by and check out our new forums.
I was a bit hesitant about switching our forums to new software. (After all, in one form or another, we've had a very plain-vanilla set of discussion forums in place for more than 15 years now!) But I think the old forums were starting to creak from age, and there are so many great new features now available that I decided to bite the bullet and make the switch.
Stuff we can now do:
- Easy formatting. Bullet…

What constitutes professional publication? Is there a limit on how long ago the story was published? Is the werewolf megapack still open?
Thanks,

Gary Lee replied to Gary Lee's discussion MGM Obscurities"According to the Turner documentary, "When the Lion Roars", MGM tried to release a new movie every week to supply the theatres owned by their parent company. So with so many movies being "churned out", they had to "hit the…"

I knew the new Dark Shadows movie was going to be bad before I went to see it this weekend. I read the reviews. But I had no idea how truly bad it would be.There are parts I liked tremendously. Johnny Depp is amazing as Barnabus Collins. But the story...shudder. Lame, to put it mildly. And I didn't think even Tim Burton could make a vampire movie dull.And that's Dark Shadows' biggest flaw. The middle third is dull. Nothing fun, Nothing interesting. All the humor of the setup is abandonned and…See More

Well, since no-one seems to be starting any new movie topics and since the Old Wildside Press Forum is now overrun with Spammers, I thought I'd start another topic in the New Forum to follow on from the Paramount Obscurities theme. I recently saw a couple of MGM B movies that I liked, both featuring Ruth Hussey (and both "crime related" ... sort of).WITHIN the LAW (1939) has Ruth as a shop assistant who is wrongly accused of stealing jewellery from the store and is sentenced to jail because her…See More
