Bill and I will rise from our graves this Saturday at 8 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages for two vampire classics.

Up first — Michael Pataki — a DIA Double Feature favorite — and William Smith — who should be in every movie — in Grave of the Vampire. You can watch it on Tubi.

• 2 oz. club soda
• 1 twist of lemon

1. Fill a glass with ice, throwing them in like you’re James Eastman throwing Caleb Croft out a window.
2. Pour in white grape juice, then pineapple juice, then vodka and stir. Top with club soda and lemon.

Our second movie is The Blood Beast Terror which you can also watch on Tubi and YouTube.

Not So Bloody Mary

Bill, Gigi Graham and I are all back this Saturday at 8 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube pages. And oh man — we’re bringing the wild movies.

Up first is one of those movies they always warned you about, a video nasty that more than lives up to its name, Don’t Go in the House, which you can watch on Tubi.
