Retro Parking-Lot Blues
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 10, 2008
It’s a wet, grey day and I’m stuck inside doing dishes and watching Night of the Living Dead (1968). At least I would be watching, but I can’t seem to tear my eyes off this really 1970s-esque mini-van down in the nearby parking lot. Have a look ! I’ll bet the interior is either sandy beige, or pea-green… Tres Nostalgic.
Visions Of Yesterday’s Tomorrow
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on March 3, 2008
I just Stumbled upon Jason Bentley’s exhaustive post on Scribd.com featuring 100 Pulp Fiction Magazine Covers from the 40s, 50s and 60s. I can’t get enough of old Sci-Fi illustrations, and the camp-factor is high like Tommy Chong… and hit up this fantastic, yet slightly sideways Octopus Pulp Covers site too !
My fav line has to be “What evil secret made his death a living horror?” Freakin classic.
Nightmares on Wax

Prepare your mind for the ultimate thrift store experience !!!
The rabid dogs at BizarreRecords.com have picked apart the refuse heap of 1940s-70s record covers and dragged the silliest into the light for our enjoyment. The “Dorks” and “Preachers” sections are my favs !
Indiana Jones Returns
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on February 14, 2008
First the Forbidden Kingdom, now this… Big Screen Nostalgia overload !!!
Steven Spielburg and a haggard-looking, but still badass Harrison Ford have returned after eons of other projects to breath life back into adventure movies !!! It’s been over 15 years since Indiana Jones took brains and bullwhip to Nazi backside, but in The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (due out in May) Ford will prove that all you need to be a hero to millions is sarcasm, a worn fedora, and a John Williams score.
The Forbidden Kingdom !!!
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on February 10, 2008
Fans of vintage Kung Fu films are collectively trembling with joy at the prospect of seeing chopsocky legends Jackie Chan and Jet Li go at it oldschool in The Forbidden Kingdom. The plot resembles The Karate Kid meets The Neverending Story
with a few roundhouse kicks thrown in for good measure. Check out the trailer HERE !!! The “How good is you’re Gong Fu ?” line is priceless…

The Mushroom Connection
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on January 22, 2008
Okay, is it just me, or has everyone’s mother, regardless of race, religion, or geographical location made some kind of meal, casserole, pasta sauce, or whatever with the help of Campbell’s Mushroom Soup…?
…It truly is the universal ingredient… Just add onions…
8 bit music
Posted by Nostalgiaholic | on January 17, 2008
8Bitpeoples.com is a collective of absolutely brilliant artists who live and die for old videogame tunes. Buy their 8BP050 compilation CD, join the 8-Bit Army, and don’t sit so freakin close to the TV screen !!!
A couple of videos…

Remember Rockwell? Probably not - but check out this music video from 1984 and maybe you will recognize the tune.
Here is a video montage of retro animated logos - interesting for designers or just of nostalgic value.
