USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child was on USA Up All Night on October 28, 1995; April 5, 1996 and July 19 and October 11, 1997. What can you say about a movie where the director, Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, Judgement Night), says “What started out as an OK film with a few […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge (1985)

With Craven stepping aside, Jack Sholder (Alone in the Dark, which was the first New Line movie before the original Elm Street and The […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
EDITOR’S NOTE: A Nightmare On Elm Street was on USA Up All Night on July 25 and October 30, 1992; October 2, 1993 and July 15, 1994. Upon watching this again for the first time in probably thirty years, I was struck by how European the movie feels. Perhaps it’s the color tones throughout, suggesting the patina […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Teen Wolf (1985)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Teen Wolf was on USA Up All Night so many times: January 28 and September 8, 1995 and June 29, 1996. After the surprising success of Valley Girl, the producers of this film realized that they could make an easy-to-shoot and cheap-to-make movie. As fate would happen, Michael J. Fox’s Family Ties co-star […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Troma’s War (1988)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Troma’s War was on USA Up All Night on March 14, April 17 and July 17, 1992. Troma’s War was the movie that made me fall out of love with Troma. Yes, 16-year-old Sam loved The Toxic Avenger and the sequel and devoured everything that came out of this New Jersey-based company, but young […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Dancing With Danger (1994)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Dancing With Danger was on USA Up All Night on December 30, 1995. Mary Dannon (Cheryl Ladd) is a taxi dancer in Portland. Not a private dancer, but a dancer for money. Do what you want her to do. You know how it goes. Now, I don’t believe that taxi dancers existed outside […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Malibu Beach (1978)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Malibu Beach was on USA Up All Night so many times: June 7 and November 11, 1989; April 6 and 7 and October 6, 1990 and April 12 and August 24, 1991. Malibu Beach is not Malibu Bikini Shop, Malibu Hot Summer, Malibu Summer and it most certainly is not Malibu High, one of the most deceptively […]
FANTASTIC FEST 2023: The All Golden (2023)
Fantastic Fest 2023 is from September 21 to 28 and has so many movies that I can’t wait to see. You can learn more about this movie and when it is playing here. Nate Wilson started making a movie where a bike messenger learned that her boyfriend had a secret in his closet. But then […]
USA UP ALL NIGHT MONTH: Fortress of Amerikka (1989)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Fortress of Amerikka was on USA Up All Night on March 7 and July 10, 1992 and February 27 and December 10, 1993. Of all the Troma directors, I seem to enjoy the movies of Eric Louzil (Class of Nuke ’Em High Parts II and III, Bikini Beach Race) the most. They just […]
