Having watched Suspiria (1977), I went into this with some interest. I like the 3 mothers storyline and feel Suspiria was better but I liked the cats in this one. Cats can be assholes and ones working for witches more so but enjoyed them here. I guess Lamberto Bava was fed up working with them on set. Overall, I enjoyed it and the the Mater Tenebarum scene at the end. I'm planning on checking out Mother of Tears (2007) later this month.

I was looking for a nice 80s werewolf film I've not seen before and found this gem on Tubi. Written, directed and starring Paul Naschy as the werewolf, it delivers what I wanted. The plot involves an evil plot to resurrect Countess Elisabeth Bathory with her undead minions in order to plunge the world in darkness. It has vampires, a zombie, the aforementioned werewolf, gratuitous nudity & some Hammer horror vibes. Love this stuff

Originally checked this out on Tubi and found it remarkable! I love the gritty atmosphere & unhinged ending. I certainly see how Lustig's previous works inspired this feature. Additionally, when slashers such as Maniac, the Toolbox Murders (1978) & Mardi Gras Massacre (1978) lean into giallo roots, great horror cinema results. 2 mannequin heads up!

Back in the 90s, I remember watching this and the sequel on the USA Channel while eating pizza. Not a great combo. However, the original from '87 has so many scenes that are memorable. Despite having some real cheesey sequels, I very much enjoy the universe Barker kicked off on this feature.

Just rewatched this 1988 classic by John Carpenter. The 80s were prime for this feature; however in light of our current situation here, it has remained an important message. What's most terrifying about the story isn't the aliens but the human collaborators such as the Drifter and Holly. Are we doomed to be milked by the uber rich & lulled into a sleep state? Anyway, love this, Rowdy Roddy Piper & the awesome Keith David.

No tinfoil hat yet

I recently did a rewatch of this 90s gem and I love everything about this film. Patricia Tallman's Barbara is such a badass character. In the remake, we get her alongside Tony Todd and Bill Moseley. The ending is also 100% true to Western PA culture. Love it!

I love the Ghoulies films (4 doesn't exist in my brain). I saw this back in the day and thought it was hilarious. Still do. Despite them now talking for reasons, it's full of charming schlocky shenanigans and I'm all about that. Matthew Lillard gets his debut in this feature as well. Great 90s horror cheese.

This was my childhood favorite. I loved the resurrection & feel as if the first 30 minutes nails the atmosphere. Best kill in the film for me would have to be face into the RV side. Great 80s horror gold!

I actually saw this before the original and instantly loved it. From the quirky dark humor to the grotesque set pieces, it delivers most of what I love about 80s horror. My favorite character is the Cook played by Jim Siedow & enjoyed his sendout with the "FU Charlie." It's a must own feature & earns every rewatch it can get.

I probably saw him 1st in the 1995 Halloween schlock fest, Jack-O. Throughout the years, I've enjoyed other low budget gems of his such as The Monster Club and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula, which is one of my favorites. By his death, he acted in over 300 films. So, what are some of your favorites by Carradine? Keep it schlocky!

Check out the YouTube feature: https://youtu.be/7005ukdaGVE?si=ASzBW84zaEoF87Pf

This gem stars James Hong (Lo Pan himself) as an ancient alchemist who steals the essence from youth to stay young. Overall, it's a good cheesey time & I was happy to see the Dunsmuir House (Phantasm, 1979) being used as the estate. There are random zombies for reasons to spice things up. It's worth checking out if you like 80s schlock, James Hong or wine with your horror.

If anything, this film delivers what it promises. I've been digging through Fred Olen Ray flicks & felt the need to check this out. I was not disappointed despite having questions best left unanswered by the end of the movie's 57 minute runtime. There's cheesey acting (love the detective scenes), gorey killings, chompy boobs and a bartender with DILAGAF vibes. It's worth a watch if you dig the schlock.

In my trip on building up my exposure to Fred Olen Ray features, I checked out this sci fi flick from '90. If you ever wanted to see what a killer American Gladiator stalker film would be like, this one's for you. Despite lacking the levels of gore and flesh of a typical Fred Olen Ray production, it was a decent film. Apart from the Snu Snu terminator, I was happy to see P.J. Soles (Halloween), John Henry Richardson (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers) and Joseph Pilato (Day of the Dead) in the cast. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon and I think I'll be running with this theme by checking out Star Slammer (1986).

What a delightful mess of a film! Starring George Kennedy who worked 3 days on the production and walked away $15k richer, this 80s flick delivers crazy. Bigfoot, zombies, aliens and boobs... nuff said for a Tubi afternoon. The keen observer will also spot Michelle Bauer who graced several other 80s light night gems. I'd definitely recommend to fellow late night schlock connoisseurs.

Just finished this slasher from '76 and happy to have done so. It felt like it was trying to be other things besides horror. When the killer has his scenes, it's a really good slasher film however, the police investigation included some decent comedy, especially with "Sparkplug." Overall, I enjoyed both moods and couldn't help but feel this influenced Jason's design in Friday the 13th Part 2.

Directed by Robert Englund & starring Stephen Geoffreys (Evil Ed from Fright Night) this gem is an 80s delight. There's a tremendous amount of nostalgia with the plot line being centered upon a hotline. It exhibits a bit of corny with the uber religious mother and high school bullies while giving a good bit of supernatural Faustian horror. The cats in the film don't particularly fare well but it's worth a late night viewing for those craving 80s horror.
