I love vintage cartoons or really any film from the depression era. They capture that time when people were at their poorest but still in good spirits, trying to build up the infrastructure that we all enjoy now. Of course there were a fair amount of rag-tag traveling hobos who couldn’t find work, but didn’t…
Deadly Little Christmas (2009)
Sourcing Christmas movies that match this site’s focus proves to be slightly more difficult than finding Halloween movies. I suppose dealing with the actual holiday, there may be more, but for October all you need is a few rustling leaves and it works. I’m sure one of these days, I will grab Silent Night, Deadly…
Death Bed: The Bed that Eats (1977)
Death Bed is a mess of a movie. The concept is certainly bizarre, but that’s far from the oddest thing about this movie. Granted a foaming, chicken loving bed that gets indigestion is hard to top, but the presentation is so haphazardly thrown together, it’s hard to make sense even of the senseless. The main…
Crash of Moons (1954)
Crash of Moons is one of those films from the 50’s that is so cheesy that the only way it manages to really stand the test of time is by support from real nostalgia buffs and self-hating mongrels like myself. Set in the “not so distant future” the film follows the exploits of Rocky Jones,…
The Granny (1995)
The Granny is a fun film. It’s completely absurd and over the top while adding in some irreverent humor and ridiculous characters. It’s a traditional story of revenge mixed with demon possession. I first found this at a video store that was still predominantly VHS driven, while the rest of the world was moving to…
Alien Contamination (1980)
So, in 1979 this guy named Ridley Scott came out with this movie called Alien. A claustrophobic, frightening and surreal tour-de-force, Alien was a one of a kind film that redefined the scifi/monster movie genre. Spawning numerous sequels, spin-offs, literature, and even video games, the Alien franchise is still very much alive and well. However,…
Wilderness Survival for Girls (2004)
This is one of those movies where you figure it’s purely exploitative. Not I’m not saying it isn’t at all, but it’s hardly the point of the film. I’m sure a certain amount of false pretense was used to lure in viewers, so they would sit long enough for the plot to unravel, and that’s…
The Deadly Spawn (1983)
There have been plenty of early low-budget monster movies, and many are hit or miss. Usually the budget plays a role in that, but fortunately for the Deadly Spawn, that was not the case. Whoever was in charge of the puppeteering did a fine job at creating a hideous alien being. The aliens consist of…

Vampire in Vegas (2009)
When the world looks back on the 70’s and 80’s and thinks about crazy directors who churn out tons of movies, they would probably first come up with Jess Franco then quickly move to either Jean Rollin or Joe D’Amato. Not for the deranged content, of which there was surely plenty, but their knack for…
