WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Beware! The Blob (1972)
Beware! The Blob or Son of the Blob is a big idea to get your head around. While the original was presented as horror, this film pretty much leans into how ridiculous it all is. Written by Anthony Harris and Jack Woods from a story by Richard Clair and Jack H. Harris, a lot of this was […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Ben (1972)
I knew the song “Ben” better than Ben the movie, but now, I know both. Remember when Willard Stiles was killed by Ben and all the rats when he finally tried to kill them? Well, you get to see it again when this movie starts and we follow Ben until he meets Danny Garrison (Lee Harcourt Montgomery, […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Behind Locked Doors (1968)
Also known as Any Body…Any Way, this movie was exactly what I wanted it to be: fucking weird. When Terry Wilson (Joyce Danner) and Ann Henderson (Eve Reeves) go to the middle of nowhere for a barn party, Ann is nearly raped but saved by the middle-aged, British and oh-so-strange Mr. Bradley (Daniel Garth). They ditch the […]

Initially used in Brazil to increase honey production, 26 swarms escaped quarantine in 1957 and spread throughout South America, incredibly defensive and angry bees […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: The Baron (1977)

And then the connection to the studio dies, leaving Jason holding the. bill for the mob who was really […]
JUNESPLOITATION: Sugar Hill (1974)
June 4: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is Blaxploitation! After Blacula and Scream, AIP had already combined Blaxploitation and horror. Now, Diana “Sugar” Hill (Marki Bey) is using zombies to get revenge on mob boss Morgan (Robert Quarry in his last film for the studio) for the death of her man, nightclub […]
