Never thought I'd run into this guy again. Between Primm Pass and Ranger Station Charlie.

Five criminals rob a military payroll and hijack a plane, holding the pilot and his daughter as hostages. One of the criminals double -crosses his partners and parachutes out with the money. The rest of of the gang force the pilot to land in a field near an abandoned farm, not knowing of the horrors that await them.

This was so much better than I thought it would be. Smartly done, with tension and a sense of unease throughout. Just the right amount of scares and gore. It keeps things simple and doesn't overexplain. The cause and motives of the scarecrows is never looked into. They are just there as a mysterious force of evil. A very fun and enjoyable horror film.

A vacationing couple are cars jacked and kidnapped by an escaped convict and his addicted girlfriend. While at a gas station, they are trapped by the deadly hosts of a fungal parasite. They must find a way to work together if they want to survive.

A fast-paced horror thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously. The concept of a fungal parasite that gradually takes over its host instead of killing them outright works very well.

Lots of scares, some creepy special effects, some disturbing body horror, and characters who usually do smart things instead of making stupid decisions.

A strange meteor strikes a family farm. At first the family feels blessed by unexpected prosperity, only to find out it's poisoning the farms water supply and mutating everything that lives there.

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space " meets 80s B-horror schlock. What can go wrong? Unfortunately, they tried doing this as a straight horror film. It would have had so much more potential as a hillbilly horror-comedy. Still has its moments.

A mutated cat, a group of college kids on spring break, and a criminal Wall Street broker end up being stuck together on his yacht. Mayhem, chaos, and hilarity ensue.

This post is my belated tribute to International Cat Day. I laughed so hard watching this one. A must see just for the cat-monster. Movies like this are why I share them.

A government agent is assigned to investigate a series of mysterious deaths that could involve a government-sponsored research lab. He discovers that a mad scientist is using radiation- mutated bee serum to create an army of female beauties who seduce men to death.

Thanks to the contributor who recommended this on my Wasp Woman post. An entertaining exploitation flick that could only have been done in the early 70s.

Better than I thought it could "be". (I'll show myself out now.)

In a desperate attempt to regain her youth, the head of a major cosmetics company experiments on herself with a formula made from royal jelly extracted from wasps. The formula's side effects have deadly consequences.

More laughable than scary with low-budget effects and a ridiculous monster costume. Don't let the poster fool you, in the movie the monster has the body of a woman and the head of a wasp. Personally, I think that it would have been cooler and sexier the other way around, but that's just me.

Tubi Treasure Trivia: Scenes from "The Wasp Woman " are featured in the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "Night of the Weremole".

A sheriff tries to stop a shambling alien monster that has emerged from a spaceship to absorb the citizens of an American town.

A bold statement, but this might be the worst movie I've ever seen. I could have scribbled a better poster with my crayons while in kindergarten. The score sounds like bad dancehall music. Instead of dialog throughout the film, it has an irritating voice-over narration. The monster looks like a hodgepodge of carpet remnants and garden hoses.

The alien spacecraft has an uncanny resemblance to a camper trailer. As far as the plot goes, don't even get me started...

The back story is far more entertaining than the movie.

The filmmakers ran out of money for post-production dubbing, hence the narrator. The special-effects creator was never paid for his work, so he took the original monster costume before filming.

Facing the threats of lawsuits by his financial backers and indictment of fraud, the producer vanished and died in solitude years later, never to make another film.

Nothing special. Just a glitch that made me laugh.

Shy and lonely Adele moves in with her agoraphobic aunt in the role of caretaker. She soon meets Beth, who is vibrant and outgoing, yet mysterious with a very dark side.

A subdued gothic horror film that takes place in late 1970s New England. Nothing leaps out at you, just chilling little moments and a constant sense of unease that something isn't quite right.

After exposure to a new radioactive isotope, a scientist finds himself changing into a murderous, reptilian creature when exposed to sunlight.

Bad acting and uneven plot, but at least the monster is cool. There's also a bit of allegory about alcoholism, which is a bit odd for a 1950s monster movie.

When a fortune in gold nuggets is discovered at the bottom of a remote lake, people are determined to find it, despite the Native American legends of it being guarded by an amphibious beast.

I went into this expecting a 80s B-movie horror flick. I never would have guessed that this is a Troma Entertainment production.

It took over an hour of a story that moved like molasses before the frog monster finally made its grand entrance. After seeing the cheap frog monster costume, perhaps that's for the best. One could find a better Creature from the Black Lagoon costume during a Walmart after Halloween sale. As to why the hermit keeps a pet goat in his cabin, some questions are better left unanswered.

The story of botanist Dr. Alec Holland. On the verge of discovering a botanical formula to wipe out world hunger, his research lab is raided by the henchmen of the evil scientist Anton Arcane, who wants the formula for his plan of world domination. After being left for dead in the swamp, Holland transforms into Swamp Thing and seeks vengeance.

A campy, fun, and action filled movie based on the DC Comics character. Wes Craven was both writer and producer. Hopefully he wasn't swamped by the extra work.

A passenger jet is on a flight to Paris. A mad scientist is smuggling a freezer in the hold that contains a dead woman infected with a genetically mutated virus. After the plane hits turbulence, the container breaks open. The corpse awakens as a zombie, threatening to infect all of those aboard.

No plot twists here. Just straight up camp and a first-class zombie-fest. A fun watch full of blood and laughter. The cast had a good time doing this one.

You won't want to miss this flight.

After a night of partying, a group of kids on spring break find themselves trapped on a beach by a carnivorous creature that dwells in the sand.

A low-budget film with cheap CGI, but still fun to watch. It was refreshing to have characters who were actually rational and thoughtful about their predicament. If there's a moral to the story, it's don't pass out drunk on the beach.

A horror-comedy anthology of six tales.

Overtime. A white-collar werewolf finds himself running late on the night of a full moon.

Badgers! A British country village finds itself infested with killer badgers.

Dispensary of Death. A man bitten by a zombie seeks first aid at a local pharmacy. Has he found true love?

Croak. A slacker is driven to his wits end by croaking frogs. He tries to exterminate them with a mix of hazardous chemicals. Things don't go as planned.

Hell Hole. A maintenance worker at a U.S. government weapons research facility accidentally opens a silo he shouldn't have.

Mephistopheles Mall. A bumbling knife salesman accidentally makes a deal with a cockatoo, not realizing it's the devil in disguise.

Based on an edition of the comic book series of the same name. A short, silly, and fun watch.

Four psychics are contacted by a mysterious colleague for unknown reasons. They meet at his secluded hotel, only to find out he is dead. During their stay, they find themselves being stalked by four murderous puppets.

A classic B horror movie that began a franchise. The plot is a bit weak, but four deadly puppets and the imaginative kill scenes more than make up for this.

A fun and campy watch.

On their way to a wedding, a group of friends take a wrong turn and end up in the small town of Lovelock.

They check into a bed-and-breakfast. Two gruesome murders occur there overnight. The local sheriff detains them and a mysterious drifter for questioning. Meanwhile, one of the friends accidentally opens a mysterious box that unleashes a mysterious force that transforms the townspeople into zombies.

One can't go wrong with a musical horror-comedy that features zombies. If you need a fun watch, it's actually quite clever and funny, despite or maybe because of a nonsensical plot.

After the mysterious decapitation of an insurance investigator, more people are found dead. All of the clues lead to an unsolved case of kidnap and murder. But the more Inspector Peretti investigates, it seems like the people who claim to want the truth seem to have more that they want to find.

A well-written thriller and murder mystery. A good storyline that had me guessing until the very end. Recommended if you enjoy giallo.

During a trip to Manitou Island, Michigan, two reckless hunters break a sacred circle, unleashing a wendigo. It soon goes on a bloodthirsty and ridiculous rampage. The woman chosen by the former Guardian must restore the Circle to save humanity. Chaos and hilarity ensue.

A horror-comedy from Troma Entertainment, which is pretty much self-explanatory.
