Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year, they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which works to save the lives of cats and dogs across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes. Today’s theme: 1980s This is not Satan’s Bed with a […]
29. LE VOYEUR’S VOYEUR: A scene where you can see a movie (real or fictional) playing in your movie. This is how a twenty-something wunderkind takes the neon-soaked excess of the 1970s and puts it through a gritty, Altman-esque wringer before dropping it into the cold synth-pop dawn of the 1980s. The engine driving this […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, August 21, 1976 at 11:30 p.m., Saturday, November 26, 1977 at 11:30 p.m. and Saturday, September 23, 1978 at 11:30 p.m. Released in late 1971 by Gold Key Enterprises, The Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler holds a peculiar badge of honor: it’s widely […]
Man, I never would have survived the 1970s. It was too full of sin and sleaze, too many drugs, too many cults. I’m reminded of this every single time I watch a piece of cinematic insanity from that most bonkers of all decades. What can you say about a movie that starts with a young […]

Played with chilling, razor-edged […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Survival was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, November 17, 1979 at 1:00 a.m., Saturday, March 21, 1981 at 1:00 a.m. and Saturday, September 4, 1982 at 1:00 a.m. When it comes to 70s family wilderness movies, you expect rough cinematography, slightly stressed-out animal wrangling and a family stranded far from the nearest payphone. […]
Before Donald Cammell blew minds with Nicolas Roeg on Performance, he cooked up the story for this quintessential piece of late-60s Swinging London psych-pop fluff. Directed by Robert Freeman—the legendary photographer behind the album covers for The Beatles’ With The Beatles, A Hard Day’s Night, Beatles for Sale, Help! and Rubber Soul—The Touchables plays out […]
Torso is such a simple title. I’d rather call this film by its Italian name: I Corpi Presentano Tracce di Violenza Carnale, or The Bodies Bear Traces of Carnal Violence. Either way, Sergio Martino directed it, and it features none of the cast he had used in his past films, like George Hilton, Ivan Rassimov or Edwige Fenech. […]
