This week, we’re joined by Ben Raphael Sher, the producer of Eli Roth’s History of Horror, for a night of movies that we’ll figure out how they fit together when we get to it. We’ll be starting at 8 PM EST on the Groovy Doom Facebook page where we’ll talk about the movies, see the ad campaigns, make two cocktails and more.

Up first is 1984’s honor student by day, hooker by night Angel! Man, if you were in a video store in the 80s, you saw this one and you probably brought it home. You can watch it on Tubi.

While you don’t need to drink during these movies, we do love to make mixed drinks. Please, as always, enjoy them responsibly.

Hollywood Hooker

• 2 oz. vanilla rum
• 2 oz. coconut rum
• 1 oz. cranberry juice
• 1 oz. pineapple juice

1. Pour all of the ingredients into a shaker and mix until its as cold as possible. Seriously, shake it up like your name is Razzle Dazzle.
2. Serve over ice and stay off the boulevard!

Our second movie is one that I can’t wait to watch with our audience. 1988’s Pin is one of the strangest ones we’ve shown and just imagine what that entails. You can watch it on YouTube.

Here’s the beverage for our second feature.

Sex in the Doctor’s Office

• 1 oz. triple sec
• 1 oz. peach schnapps
• 1 oz. Chambord
• 1 oz. Midori
• 2 oz. grapefruit juice

1. Pour all the ingredients into a shaker, grapefruit juice last.
2. Mix it up and try not to get upset by this movie.

We can’t wait for Saturday!

Of all the slashers, The Prowler just may be my favorite. Is it because everyone seems like they’re in some kind of dream? Is it the World War II opening and soldier slasher villain? Or is it because Tom Savini literally went wild with every gory impulse he had? Who can say!

You can watch The Prowler on Tubi with us on Saturday night at 11 PM EST.

Join us and Patrick Walsh from Scream Queenz on the Groovy Doom Facebook page before and after the movie to get ads, cocktails and a lively discussion of the movie.

Here’s the recipe for this week! In tribute to this film’s other title of Rosemary’s Killer, I decided to go Prohibition Era cocktail this week.

Rosemary’s Bee’s Knees

• 2 oz. gin
• .75 oz. lemon juice
• .5 oz. rosemary honey syrup
• .75 oz. orange juice

1. To make the rosemary honey syrup, bring a 1/2 cup of water and a 1/2 cup of honey to a boil for five minutes, stirring until the honey dissolves. Reduce heat to low, add five sprigs of rosemary and cook overcovered for half an hour while you stir occasionally. Strain and throw away the rosemary. You may want to do this a day or so before and then place it in your refrigerator.
2. The rest is easy: just mix it all together in a shaker and shake it up until you see the whites of their eyes pop out. Serve over ice with a sprig of rosemary and some lemon peel, if you’re fancy and going to a post-World War II dance. Just watch out for knives, bayonets and pitchforks.

We’re breaking from tradition this week when we join special guest Mike Justice this Saturday on the Groovy Doom Facebook page starting at 11 PM East Coast Time.

You can watch this on YouTube.

Unlike every week where we have two drinks to go with two movies, but seeing as we only have own movie, why not two drinks?

We’re going to make a cocktail to serve after the movie in advance. That would be this…

The Original Blob

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 package raspberry Jell-O
• 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
• 1 cup vodka

1. Boil water, then add to mixing bowl and stir in Jell-O until it dissolves.
2. After two minutes, add soda and vodka.
3. Pour into shot glass mold (or any mold you use for baking). Chill for the entire movie, then dig out your blob.

And here’s the drink for during the movie…

Beware! The Blob

• 1 shot Chambord
• 1 shot amaretto
• 1 oz. strawberry syrup
• 1/2 oz. lemon juice

1. Add all ingredients to your cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Shake well and pour over crushed ice.

We can’t wait to see you!
