GENRE BLAST X: Get That Dick (2026)
Bugs (Sean Ashlet) is a burned-out Atlanta private investigator who thinks he is taking on a simple, quick-cash gig when he agrees to help a foul-mouthed kid on the run.

GENRE BLAST X: Final Transmissions (2026)
Final Transmissions was announced as a six-episode analog horror anthology series co-created by the husband-and-wife team Steven Hugh Nelson and Erica Nelson (Old Wounds). However, it played as a film at Genre Blast X, an anthology set in the small, eerie town of Eldritch, Illinois, in 1999. There, a local cable-access TV host begins broadcasting […]
CBS LATE MOVIE: Alligator (1980)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Alligator was on the CBS Late Movie on November 18, 1983 and September 14, 1984. There are moments in horror movies when even the most jaded of us can be upset by a visual or an idea. In Alligator, there’s plenty to be disgusted by, but for me, the dead dogs being floated down a sewer […]
Sizzlin’ Summer of Subterranean Psychotronica 2026: Legend of the Sandsquatch (2006)
Week 11 (Aug 30 – Sept 5) – Lost in the Static: SOV Horror Directed by Women: I dunno about you, but I wanna see more ladies directing gory, fucked-up SOV horror!

CBS LATE MOVIE: The Dark (1979)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Dark was on the CBS Late Movie on March 26, 1982. Bill Van Ryn from Groovy Doom/Drive-In Asylum explained this movie short and sweet: “It’s like an episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker without Kolchak.” It’s also about the press freaking out about an eight-foot-tall alien who is killing people who eyebeam lasers in the dirty and […]
GENRE BLAST X: Debone (2025)
Director Lee Dae-han’s feature debut Debone, shot on a $ 23,000-or-less budget, is a punishing, pitch-black entry into South Korea’s rich tradition of uncompromising crime-thriller horror. The film is the tale of Gyutark (Lee Gyu-tark), a young man whose life is derailed by an initial act of primal self-preservation: killing his abusive father to protect […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Stingray (1978)
When you talk about late 70s regional drive-in cinema, Stingray is an absolute slice of Midwest exploitation action that demands respect. Directed by Southern Illinois University film professor Richard Taylor, this isn’t just another post-Smokey and the Bandit gearhead flick—it’s a gritty, weird, relentlessly paced indie bullet-and-asphalt thriller that somehow bridges the gap between pure […]
GENRE BLAST X: The Cramps: A Period Piece (2025)

GENRE BLAST X: The Black Hills Night Hike (2026)
While horror fans immediately hear “Black Hills” and think of Burkittsville from The Blair Witch Project, The Black Hills Night Hike broadens the lens to the entire state of Maryland, framing the region as an interconnected web of tall tales trapped between the western mountains and the eastern bay. The narrative backbone of The Black […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Steele Justice (1987)
“The only law is the Black Tiger’s. The only justice is John Steele’s.” How are people not losing their minds about this movie? Directed and written by Robert Boris (the writer of Electra Glide In Blue and Doctor Detroit), this is the story of Vietnam vet John Steele (Martin Kove) and his struggle to fit in with the […]
