TRAVEL TO ITALY WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR RECLINER ON THIS WEEK’S DIA DOUBLE FEATURE!
This week, Bill Van Ryn, G.G. Graham and I will be taking you on a tour of Italy — comic book style — with two absolutely gorgeous movies starting at Saturday at 8 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages. Up first is Mario Bava’s Danger: Diabolik, which I feel is the best comic book […]
CANNON MONTH: Deathhouse (Silent Night, Bloody Night) (1981)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Yes, I realize that Silent Night, Deadly Night originally came out the whole way back in 1972. But nearly nine years after it first played theaters, Cannon released it as Deathhouse on May 8, 1981. If it makes no sense to release a holiday movie in May, well — don’t worry about it. It’s Cannontown. […]
CANNON MONTH: Hot Bubblegum (1981)
You know, I keep finding more of these Lemon Popsicle sequels and every time they come on, I just try and close my eyes and ride them out, like nausea that you get from a rollercoaster. I’m kidding — they aren’t that bad — but if it weren’t for my mission to watch every single Cannon […]
The Unknown Man of Shandigor (1967 release, 2022 Blu-Ray)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: G.G. Graham is a cult film cryptid, horror hag, and exploitation film explorer of the dusty and disreputable corners of cinema history. The street preacher of Z-grade cinema can be found at Midnight Movie Monster, as well as writing for various genre sites and print publications, or on Twitter and Instagram @msmidnightmovie. Visit […]
CANNON MONTH: New Year’s Evil (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this movie way back on December 31, 2018, which is a pretty appropriate date to cover this early Cannon film. PS — what came first, the poster for Midnight or the German poster for this movie? By 1980, every holiday was taken. All writer and director Emmett Alston had left was New […]
CANNON MONTH: The Apple (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The first time I saw The Apple, I was in the throes of losing my job and starting a new company and feeling lost. This is the movie that not only made me feel like I could go on, but inspired me to start writing more about films and why they mattered to me. […]
CANNON MONTH: Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally watched this movie as part of our Not So Classic Monsters week on January 10, 2022. Thanks for checking out another appearance of this early Cannon movie. Charles B. Griffith — the Quentin Tarantino-named “Father of Redneck Cinema” — is credited with 29 movies but he probably wrote plenty more. From […]
