IF THE DIA DOUBLE FEATURE THIS WEEK COULD TALK, IT WOULD SHRIEK!

This Saturday at 8 PM EST, Bill and I will be joined by Joe Zaso and Bryan Thomas Norton, the author of the upcoming book “For God’s Sake Get Out!” The Amityville Horror at the Movies. You can join us  on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages.

Up first, what else would we watch other than Amityville II: The Possession? You can find it on Tubi, Freevee and the Roku Channel for free with ads.

If you’ve never watched the show before, we discuss the movie first, talking about why we picked it, sharing facts and looking at the ad campaign. Then, we show how to make a themed cocktail and then you watch the movie on your own. We get back together as soon as it ends and talk with our chat room about what we just watched, then get ready for the second movie.

Here’s the first cocktail.

Ocean Avenue Lemonade

  • 1 oz. rum
  • 1 oz. Absolut Citron
  • .5 oz. blue curacaco
  • 6 oz. lemonade
  • Dash of bitters
  1. Shake all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Pour in a glass, take the phone off the hook and enjoy while skiing.

Our second movie is the 1982 shocker Unhinged. You can watch it on YouTube.

Here’s the second cocktail.

Un-gin-ged Fizz (from this recipe)

  • 2 oz. gin
  • .75 oz. simple syrup
  • .5 oz. heavy cream
  • .5 oz. lemon juice
  • .5 oz. lime juice
  • 3 dashes orange bitters
  • 1 egg white
  • Club soda
  1. Add everything — except the club soda — to your cocktail mixer. Dry shake — with no ice — for 10 seconds. Add ice and shake again for 15 seconds.
  2. Strain into a glass. Pour some club soda in your shaker and pick up any extra cream. Top your glass with that and club soda to taste.

See you on Saturday!
