An interview with Corey Feldman: The Halloween Spooktacular 3

The Lost Boys. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Stand By Me. The Goonies. License to Drive. Dream A Little Dream. All classic movies of the 1980s. All of them star Corey Feldman.

Corey started his career in TV, and is best known for his string of 80s movie blockbusters, but he's sustained a career in Hollywood for more than 35 years as an actor and singer. The star's own words say it best: he's more than a movie star, he's an icon.

Tonight, Jason and Shawn bring The Month from Hell to a close with a 15-minute chat with 6 Degrees of Hell star Corey Feldman. And it becomes very clear very quickly how enthusiastic he is about director Joe Raffa and screenwriter Harrison Smith's horror film. The bulk of the conversation is about 6 Degrees of Hell, but Corey also touches on his earlier work. It's a great interview with a legend of the 80s, and one no movie fan wants to miss.

As is the tradition with The Basement's annual Halloween Spooktacular, Jason and Shawn don't review any movies tonight. But they do talk about them. And this edition's topic is the goriest movies of all time . . . according to The Basement Dwellers that is. The two approach the subject matter with their usual irreverent flair.

By the way, everyone's favourite Scream Queen, Brooke Lewis, is back this episode! Stick with us!

Tune in at 10 p.m. PST at 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and online at www.thex.ca. You can also follow along to the mad tweets of Mike S of The Corner of Terror on Twitter! It's not the Halloween season without a special episode . . . in The Basement!

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends. With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher. When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up. Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila! Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink. The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink. The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices. In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors. The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort. It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
