CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Oasis of the Zombies (1981)
Today’s movie comes to us from Roger Braden, whose Facebook group Valley Nightmares is all about the history of the films that played at the drive-ins and theaters in his home state of Kentucky. He also writes from Drive-In Asylum and likes The Car as much as I do! Thanks for helping out, Roger! During World War II […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: War of the Robots (1978)
Paul Andolina, whose writes the site Wrestling with Film, is in charge today. Beyond loving wrestling, he also knows a ton about Russian and lucha films (and he even speaks pretty good Spanish, so we hear!). War of the Robots — originally titled La Guerra dei Robot — is an Italian science fiction film released in 1978 […]
DEATH WISH WEEK: Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987)
Where do you go after the utter lunacy that is Death Wish 3? Well, you replace Michael Winner with J. Lee Thompson, who was the director for The Guns of Navarone, the original Cape Fear, the slashtastic Happy Birthday to Me and The Reincarnation of Peter Proud amongst many other films. He’d already worked with Bronson on 10 to Midnight, Murphy’s Law and […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Sisters of Death (1976)
This movie starts in the most awesome way. During an all-girl secret society college initiation, The Sisters kneel as they hide behind shrouds and place a loaded pistol to each pledge’s head. The first girl, that goes well, as all we hear is a click and she survives. The next one, well, it doesn’t go so well. […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Snowbeast (1977)
This entry was written by Bill Van Ryn, the man behind the always stupendous Groovy Doom and Drive-In Asylum. Bill knows more about movies than almost anyone I’ve ever met and is always there with an answer to my questions, no matter how trivial or dumb they may be. A popular vacation spot, desperate for tourist […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH – another take on Driller Killer (1979)
John S Berry says that he’s a pretty low key guy. He has a few articles on the Rupert Pupkin Speaks site. I asked him to tell me a little more about himself and he replied that he loves bargain bin horror movies, his cat Walter, Terry Gordy and most people. One of my favorite […]
Summer of 84 (2018)
I was 12 years old in 1984. It was the year of Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Terminator, Streets of Fire, This is Spinal Tap, C.H.U.D., The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, Purple Rain, Gremlins, Night of the Comet and so many more cultural touchstones that will be endlessly watched again and again until […]
DEATH WISH WEEK: Death Wish 3 (1985)
Paul Kersey is back in New York City, despite being kicked out at the end of the first Death Wish. His Korean War buddy Charley has invited him to ask for help as his East New York apartment building has been under attack by a gang. Paul gets there just in time for his friend to […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Horror Express (1972)
This entry was written by Bill Van Ryn, who creates both Groovy Doom and Drive-In Asylum. You should order every issue, because Bill puts together a zine that makes you fall in love with movies more and more with every page. There was something great about growing up in the 70s as a monster kid. With […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: The Driller Killer (1979)
Before Ms. 45, The King of New York and Bad Lieutenant (a film that rivaled The Car for my grandfather’s affections), Abel Ferrara directed and starred in this film, which was classified as a video nasty. It’s also fallen into the public domain, which is why it’s on the Chilling Classics set. Reno Miller (Ferrara, using the […]
