We continue to bring the Halloween<\/strong> in this month\u2019s \u201cImages of the Week<\/strong>\u201d here on C-U Blogfidential<\/strong><\/span>, just for our dearest bleeders! Today we\u2019ll focus on film appreciation with a horror bent as we investigate the YouTube<\/strong> series \u201cPriceless B Movies,\u201d hosted by Colin Price<\/strong> of Champaign<\/strong>. While nothing earth-shattering in terms of production or presentation \u2013 the lanky Price addresses his Webcam to talk about B-list efforts, hailing mostly from the Eighties and Nineties, with crowded home entertainment shelf as his backdrop and occasional cut-in graphics as illustration \u2013 \u201cPriceless\u201d allows its namesake to cover this ground with well-reasoned, articulate commentary and flashes of knowing humor. We\u2019ve chosen three episodes to embed below as a sampler, starting with the debut from May highlighting Price\u2019s favorite horror romp of that key era, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS<\/strong> (1988), featuring \u201cscream queen\u201d Linnea Quigley<\/strong>; believe it or not, she figures in a low-budget project du C-U that we\u2019ll be discussing soon! In the middle is his take on the critically acclaimed Australian tale THE BABADOOK<\/strong> (2014), starring Essie Davis<\/strong> in a ferocious central performance; your humble editor is glad to have made this familial boogeyman flick one of his final rental videos from That\u2019s Rentertainment<\/strong>. The last example is also the most recent, in which Price gives hearty praise to one of the few Hollywood<\/strong> releases ever covered in-depth on CUBlog<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, THE CELL<\/strong> (2000), stylist Tarsem Singh<\/strong>\u2019s serial killer opus starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn<\/strong>, and Vincent D\u2019Onofrio<\/strong>. Clearly, this sideline has provided a valuable outlet for the budding screenwriter and novelist; a prolific outpouring of 40-plus reviews and essays<\/a><\/span> can now be watched on-line while teasers for future analyses are regularly posted on Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Look for future reports on his and partner Lissa Massa<\/strong>\u2019s other film adventures right here!<\/p>\n
