SLASHER MONTH: Terror Night (1987)
Cameron Mitchell, Alan Hale Jr., Aldo Ray and Dan Haggerty all in one movie? Are you trying to give Bill Van Ryn a heart attack, Nick Marino? Actually, Marino may not have even directed this. Instead, it may have been a combination of Fred J. Lincoln (who in addition to playing Weasel Podowski in The Last […]
SLASHER MONTH: The Long Island Cannibal Massacre (1980)
The gore in this movie was pig intestines, fish heads and condoms. It was shot on a Super 8 camera by a 17 year old Nathan Schiff and his friends Fred Borges and John Smihula. And it starts with a girl being run over repeatedly with a lawnmower. Yes, The Long Island Cannibal Massacre has no […]
SLASHER MONTH: The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)
Not enough people talk about Pete Walker, whose movies are mind destroyers and who is all over the map when it comes to output, making giallo-esque in England films like Die Screaming, Marianne; House of Whipcord and The Comeback. One of his obsessions was to make a movie where actors die in a themed way by those older […]
Hansel e Gretel (1990)
Some think that because this is one of the better of the “Lucio Fulci presenta” films that The Godfather of Gore had something to do with it, perhaps co-directing alongside Giovanni Simonelli, who wrote Cat in the Brain for Fulci, as well as Jungle Raiders, The Ark of the Sun God, Bloody Psycho (another Fulci presents), some of the […]
The House of Clocks (1989)
Lucio Fulci made two movies in the Houses of Doom series of TV movies, this one and The Sweet House of Horrors, and both of them are totally his vision and we’re all better for that. House of Clocks brings several narratives together: Victor and Sarah are an elderly couple who live in the titular house […]
SLASHER MONTH: Trapped Alive (1988)
Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: Three prison escapees, two women on the way to a party and a deputy sheriff all get trapped in a mine with a cannibal. Yes, but Cameron Mitchell is in it. Director and writer Leszek Burzynski gets my watch only because he wrote the absolutely berserk Tiny […]
SLASHER MONTH: Lover’s Lane (1999)
In the wake of Scream, nearly every meta slasher wanted to have something to do with urban legends. This one is about The Hook and take great pains to show us how the original story happened, how a cop got cucked and how a man was blamed for the crimes. Years later, when the kids are […]
SLASHER MONTH: Hellroller (1992)
I’d like to know how Gary J. Levinson was able to get Michelle Bauer, Hyapatia Lee, Elizabeth Kaitan and Mary Woronov* to appear in his movie about a wheelchair bound slasher. Our wheelchair slasher Eugene was made a paraplegic when his mother dropped him while she was being assaulted and murdered by a set of […]
SLASHER MONTH: Lunchmeat (1987)
Lunchmeat is not pretty — although it does have Kim McKamy, the actress who would one day become Ashlyn Gere, in the cast — and it looks like it was filmed by the same gigantic home camcorder that your dad once used to tape your prom. Directed, written and produced by one and done auteur Kirk […]
SLASHER MONTH: Blood Delirium (1988)
Man, has John Phillip Law been around the world or what? Here he plays a painter — who thinks he’s the reincarnation of Van Gogh — whose wife’s death sends him even deeper down the path of no return who decides to dig up her bones for inspiration. Then he finds another woman who looks […]
