2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 30: Shredder Orpheus (1990)
DAY 30. BRING IT ON HOME: Something filmed in Seattle. As we near the close of the Scarecrow Video Psychotronic Challenge, finding a movie shot in Seattle was a real, well, challenge. I didn’t want to do something easy, like Practical Magic, which isn’t really a psychotronic film either. And I’d already posted about Fear, The Changeling, Class […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 30: Scorchy (1976)
DAY 30: BRING IT ON HOME: Something filmed in Seattle. “She’s killed a man, been shot at, and made love twice already this evening…and the evening isn’t over yet!” I mean, how am I not going to watch this movie after all that? Man, American-International kept putting out awesome movies late into the 1970’s, with […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 30: River’s Edge (1986)
Day 30: Bring It on Home: Something filmed in Seattle. (AKA we’re cheating with the Pacific Northwest.) Okay, so why are we reviewing this dark, teen-crime drama in the middle of an all slasher ‘n horror month at B&S About Movies for October — outside of the fact that Slayer, Hallows Eve, and Fates Warning […]
Drive-In Friday: ’80s Teen Sex Comedy Night
As Robert Freese pointed out in his “Exploring: 80s Comedies” featurette for B&S About Movies, Bob Clark’s Porky’s opened up a cottage industry of teen sex comedies. And boy, did producers scrape the grease pits . . . where’s Pee Wee, Kim Cattral, and Kaki Hunter when you need ’em? Robert Hays! Leslie Nielsen! Where […]
SLASHER MONTH: Rest In Pieces (1987)
Along with Edge of the Axe and Deadly Manor, Spanish horror director José Ramón Larraz made this movie explicitly for the burgeoning American video rental market. It has all the cheap thrills you want, but it feels like a Michelin star chef just made you a mac and cheese pizza. Helen Hewitt (Lorin Jean Vail, The Patriot) and her husband […]

The Craft: Legacy (2020)
The original version of The Craft is a movie that has never gone away. Written and directed by Andrew Fleming, who also made one of my favorite (and most derivative) slashers, Bad Dreams, and screenwritten by Peter Filardi (Flatliners) with direction from producer Douglas Wick, who wanted to mix the high school experience with witchcraft, the stories […]
SLASHER MONTH: Gorgasm (1990)
This is a movie that somehow combines rambling dialogues, Xeroxed zines, the kind of music that you’d hear on a pay to play night at Gazzarri’s in 1990, BDSM pornography, slasher movies and the scuzzy black and white detective magazines that would get ink all over your hands, shoots it all on video and lets […]
SLASHER MONTH: Slaughterhouse (1987)
Lester Bacon misses the old days of slaughtering food, when you got to do it with your hands. Now everything is automated and the local cops and government want to buy him out for $50,000. He’s pretty much forced to take the deal and has thirty days to get out. But then again, there is his […]
2020 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 29: Shriek of the Mutilated (1974)
DAY 29. ONE NIGHT IN APE CANYON: Watch a Bigfoot story. There are tons of Bigfoot films to watch. Trust us, we know. We have an entire Letterboxd list packed with the ones we’ve made it through. And we know that Scarecrow has an even larger section in the store that’s all Yeti, skunkape and […]
