Anyone have any idea how long Southern Culture On The Skids has been around? Would you believe since 1983? Time flies. (Clever response: You cannot, they’re too erratic.) The current lineup of SCOTS features Rick Miller (the one constant since its inception) on guitar and vocals, bassist Mary Huff and drummer Dave Hartman. If you haven’t heard what they sound like, an educated guess that included Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Cramps, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns and Man Or Astro-Man? might be pretty close to the bone. The trio’s most recent album, Zombiefied (Kudzu), came out just in time for graves to open so the dead can have one last stagger around the countryside. Miller will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with him.
Miller: The Haunting is the best haunted-house movie ever. A college professor takes a group of folks to the evil Hill House to do some paranormal research. He leaves with more questions than answers. No gore or outrageous effects, just a good ghost story, good acting and ominous b&w cinematography to keep you creeped out. The house is the real star: a dark Victorian nightmare with breathing doors, a haunted nursery, disembodied midnight voices and a possessed circular staircase.
