Nightmare (MKUltra Psychological Slasher Film)

Nightmare (MKUltra Psychological Slasher Film)

  It’s back! One of the sleaziest and ugliest of the slasher classics that oozed their ways onto movie theaters in the early 1980s has finally returned to your home after substandard earlier releases. Romano Scavolini’s Nightmare remains potent stuff and is more timely than ever in the wake of incidents like the Sandy Hook […]

The Satan Killer (Thrift Store Mulleted Death Machine Action Thriller Junk)

  Sometimes hitting the video shelves at your local Goodwill/Thrift Store of your choice or the farthest reaches of the Internet is like the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser. You either wind up completely peeled or discover a new form of chocolate stroke you never knew existed. This month, we’ll be diving into the discount bin […]

The Ritual of Death (Satanic Splatter Horror)

The Ritual of Death (Satanic Splatter Horror)

  Sometimes the shiniest bits of gold are tucked away in the dirtiest pockets of soot and slime. This analogy works with certain gore films, especially the late-80’s work of prolific South American pornographer Fauzi Mansur. Little is known on these shores about Mansur yet the man enjoys a small but fervent cult following to […]

Lord Vigo – Danse De Noir (Grandiose VHS Doom Metal with Robots)

  Here’s something I’ve said a lot: “God I hated this at first.” Definitely said that here. I see “epic” used with anything, especially doom metal, which already has its own problems with pretension, and I just turn my head away. How dare you guys add epic to that? Are you crazy?! These guys are […]

Two Films of Christmas Horror and Hate

As of this writing, it’s December 25th and my Christmas celebration began with a domestic squabble with my on-again/off-again domestic partner. Things got uglier and fists got introduced into the equation. Like a gentleman (or a coward who realizes that a ‘Domestic Violence’ rap is not going to look very appealing to my newly-found corporate […]

The Witch Who Came from the Sea (VHS)

Wow, here’s a pile of mutated, rotting, festering, very-bad-smelling human fluid and waste products.  Let’s get something straight around here.  I love bad movies, love em.  And there’s no sense in arguing why, because if you’re reading this, you’ve been there too.  The troubling filming techniques, the poorly articulated dialog, the horrid acting, the ridiculous […]

Girls on the Road (VHS)

Woah, what?  What what what?  Now and then, if you’re actually interested, you’ll come across forgotten oddities like this beauty right here.  Got this from a friend for a pretty penny, pretty much paying for the cover and expecting to sell it immediately after watching based on what little you can find about it online, […]

Shock Waves (VHS)

Ummm…hmm.  Here’s a film lots of people wonder about.  And if they’ve seen it, they usually rave about it.  “Oh shit Shock Waves,” they’ll say, most likely.  In fact I (editor) can remember my brother and I at the old rental place always wondering about it, but for some reason never checking it out in […]

The Night God Screamed

When a movie comes along with a title as awesome as The Night God Screamed it’s hard not to instantly start thinking what it could be about. What kind of monstrosity could be so evil that the big G himself would let out a sissy little yelp of terror? What ungodly act of brutal savagery could […]
