WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Death Dimension (1978)
Also known as Death Dimensions, Freeze Bomb, Icy Death, The Kill Factor, and Black Eliminator, this Al Adamson movie features a cast that gets me excited, as well as Gary Graver’s direction.

Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: If You Don’t Stop It…You’ll Go Blind!!! (1975)
