MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: Warrior of the Lost World (1983)
Three things got me to watch this film: Persis Khambatta. Donald Pleasence. Post-apocalyptic. Then I found out that Fred Williamson was also in it and I raced to find this. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been so hasty. Released as Il Giustiziere Della Terra Perduta (Vigilante of the Lost Earth) 4 years after Mad Max and 2 years after The Road […]
Horror House on Highway 6 (2014)
Remember when we discussed Horror House on Highway 5? Well, there’s another house, this time on highway 6. There, a doctor lives in a bomb shelter and awaits the second coming of Elvis Presley. There’s also a killer armed with an axe. Four college students are searching for the horror house and want to prove the […]
MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: She (1982)
H. Rider Haggard’s She, A History of Adventure pretty much set the rules for the Lost World genre and presented a white goddess warrior queen named Ayesha who rules a kingdom in the middle of Africa. It’s been adapted many times for the screen, starting in 1899 with Georges Méliès’ The Pillar of Fire. Probably the best-known version is the […]
Zombi 2 (1979)
Zombi 2 has nothing to do with Dawn of the Dead, which was re-edited by co-producer Dario Argento, rescored by Goblin and released in Italy as Zombi. It was a huge success and nothing succeeds like more, more and more. As Italian copyright law allows any film to be marketed as a sequel to another work, […]
MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: She-Wolves of the Wasteland (1988)
Look at that Boris Vallejo poster! Between that and Persis Khambatta (Megaforce), this seemed like one of those movies I had to see. Even better, it’s alternate title, Phoenix the Warrior, is awesome! Starring Kathleen Kinmont as Phoenix (she’s also Kelly Meeker in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers) and Khambatta as the evil Cobalt, this film is […]
Rock ‘n Roll High School (1979)
I am in love with film. It inspires me every single day. And so does rock and roll. I have a few rock and roll rules that rule my life and I’ll share one with you: if you don’t like The Ramones, I really don’t trust you. Sure, you can tell me every Ramones song […]
DRIVE-IN ASYLUM ISSUE #12 is here!
Before you get to the salesy blurb, this is my favorite project every time we do one. There’s some art from me inside, including some Deadly Spawn stickers that you can only get if you order RIGHT NOW. DIA #12 is just slithering with fantastic content, a lot of which leans heavily toward ravenous monsters […]
MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: Firebird 2015 AD (1981)
In 2015 — remember when — the US government outlawed gasoline, only allowing the elite, the military and law enforcement to use it. No one is allowed to own or use a car and those who go against the law are called Burners, who are policed by the DVC (the Department of Vehicle Control). Red […]
MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: Rats: The Night of Terror (1984)
In the Christian year 2015, the insensitivity of man finally triumphs and hundreds of atomic bombs devastate all five continents. Terrified of the slaughter and destruction, the few survivors of the disaster seek refuge under the ground. From that moment begins the era that will come to be called “after the bomb” — the period […]
MORE FUCKED UP FUTURES: Chosen Survivors (1974)
Hours before a nuclear attack, couples that have been matched by computer are taken to an underground shelter so they can eventually repopulate the Earth. A great plan, if it wasn’t for the vampire bats! Starring Jackie Cooper (Superman), Richard Jaeckel (Grizzly), Bradford Dillman (The Swarm), Star Trek: TNG’s Diana Muldaur, Lincoln Kilpatrick (who has an amazing scene where […]
