DANGEROUS ANIMALS - Jai Courtney is a shark-obsessed serial killer.

A trashy and perfect return to grindhouse Ozploitation. It's exactly what you think it is. And Courtney oozes wicked charisma as he chews up the scenery.

I love watching them iterate and refine their approach. It's so specifically *them* and low brow subversive.

There was a point where he became *so* exhausting. I, too, wanted out of that house.

So far I disagree with everyone in this movie. 😅

Finally sitting down to watch HERETIC.

Hugh Grant says his wife is home, but ... I don't think he's telling the truth.

I love how off-kilter they are. Just genuinely weird.

Full trailer for KEEPER, the new Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS) flick.

I'm really digging how prolific he's becoming. And how this really doesn't tell us much of anything about the movie.

A new @puppetcombo.bsky.social GIALLO!!! game is out this Thursday.

If you haven't played any Puppet Combo games, they are a very distinct strain of perverse weirdness. Get some!

Another episode of HISTORY OF TERRIBLE! Jeff continues to cast a light on the parts of history we're never told about.

"In 1898, a mob of thousands of white supremacists took over the Wilmington, NC government by force."

I saved this for as long as I could, but it's time!

It was really difficult to track down for a long time.

But it's easy to get those two confused. Freddy's Nightmares is the only thing worse than Freddy's Dead. 😅

The first episode - directed by Tobe Hooper! - is kinda cool? But the rest seem homemade.

FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES is now on Tubi, in its entirety!!

Is it very good? No.

Is it chock full of Freddy schlock for those of us starved for the Springwood Slasher? Oh yes.

Freddy's Nightmares

Wes Craven’s brainchild Freddy Krueger leaves Elm Street for spine-tingling trips through the horrors of new worlds and dark nooks of the imagination.

Hey guys, if you’re not too busy this weekend, maybe it might be a good time to go see a movie. Just a thought. I heard there is something good playing.

While I do love that era, your passion for it is kinda nuts. 😅

But did give us Jubilee and the issue where the guys get drunk and fight off an alien invasion.

Yeah. It never made much sense. Mandela Effect.

It's pretty prevalent. Here's an interesting article.

Maybe it was because of Will Sampson character in part 2?

Why Every Horror Film of the 1980s Was Built On 'Indian Burial Grounds'

In 2006, Family Guy aired an episode entitled “Petergeist” where family patriarch Peter Griffin discovered an Indian burial ground in his backyard,...

"For the opening scene in which Gene Clifford undergoes plastic surgery, director Guy Magar filmed an actual plastic surgery procedure, with no special effects used during the scene."
