Okay, since you guys don't want me to stop. These are all kinds of films. Whatever comes up While I've been doing all this, it makes me want to cry, all the great movies that aren't on DVD. I have to take a rest now... Disco Pigs (2001) Interesting Irish film. Pig and Runt - born on the same day, in the same hospital, moments apart. Twins, all but by blood. Inseparable from birth, they are almost telepathic. They are also partners in crime, with an appetite for recklessness, exploration and destruction. But days before their 17th birthday the perfect balance of their world begins to shift. Pig's sexual awakening and increasing jealousy begins to threaten the private universe they have spent their lives constructing. Unable to contemplate the loss of Runt, Pig's unpredictable nature spirals out of control in a trail of violence. The invisible thread between them is stretched to breaking point, the inseparable are about to separate, and which one will survive depends on which one can break free. Gordy (1995) A talking pig named Gordy becomes involved in a quest to save his family from the slaughterhouse. La Settima donna (1978) aka Terror aka The Last House On the Beach The Italian Last House on the Left.

Three thugs show up, brutally raping and terrorizing the girls, killing one by raping her with a cane, until Bolkan renounces her teachings and seeks bloody revenge. Terror Train (1980) I love this dumbass film. Could have used some nudity though. A college fraternaty prank goes bad and student ends up in the mental ward. Four years later, it's graduation time, and the members of the fraternity decide to have a costume party aboard a train trip to celebrate thier graduation. Unknowingly to them, a killer has slipped aboard, wacking them off one by one, disguised in the costumes of the victims. Terror Tract (2000) Follows the House That Dripped Blood scenario.

The third story "Come To Granny" involves a trouble teenager with psychic abilities who visits a therapist to warn her that she happends to be the next victim of a vicious serial killer called The Granny. Monster a-Go Go (1965) Big cheese. Major cheese. MST3K worthy. An astronaut comes back to Earth and crashes in a field, incredibly irradiated and wreaking havoc. Just as they have him cornered, he disappears, and the "real" astronaut is found 7,500 miles away in the Pacific Ocean, "alive, well, and of normal size." Suddenly there was no trail. There was no giant, no monster, no thing called Douglas to be followed. There was nothing in the tunnel but the puzzled men of courage who suddenly found themselves alone with shadows and darkness. With the telegram, one cloud lifts, and another descends. Astronaut Frank Douglas, rescued, alive, well, and of normal size some 8000 miles away in a lifeboat. I Tre volti della paura (1963) aka Black Sabbath Bava. A trio of atmospheric horror tales about: A woman terrorized in her apartment by phone calls from an escaped prisoner from her past; a Russian count in the early 1800s who stumbles upon a family in the countryside trying to destroy a particularly vicious line of vampires; and a 1900-era nurse who makes a fateful decision while preparing the corpse of one of her patients - an elderly medium who died during a seance.

Wheels of Terror (1990) A small town is terrorized by an unknown stranger who kidnaps and abuses little girls. When her only child is kidnapped right in front of her, the schoolbus driver begins the desperate chase to catch the criminal. Hero and the Terror (1988) I love this Chuck Norris movie. I think it's his best. Danny O'Brien (Chuck Norris) is back in action fighting the notorious Simon Moon, also known as The Terror. Three years earlier O'Brien had single-handedly captured The Terror and was called Hero by the people of L.A. Now Simon has escaped and has started killing women again, and O'Brien is the only man who can stop him.

One day he accidentally administers an overdose and kills her. Several years later he remarries, with the intention of using the blood of his new bride to bring his first wife's rotting corpse back to life. Nightmare Circus (1974) aka Barn of the Naked Dead This may well be the worst movie of all time. Three showgirls on their way to Las Vegas have car trouble and are stuck all night out in the desert. The next morning cheerful Andre (Andrew Prine) offers them help in fixing their car. However, Andre is really a maniac with a lot of family problems; his mother ran out on him when he was a child so now he keeps kidnapped women chained up in his barn and trains them to perform circus tricks.

Kaitei daisenso (1966) aka Terror Beneath the Sea Rubber suit monster! Mad scientist plans to rule the world with his fishmen/water cyborgs from his underwater base. Sonny Chiba in an early role is the hero and American Peggy Neal plays the girl in trouble. Cyclone (1978) aka Terror Storm Rene Cardona jr. If the storm doesn't kill you... the sharks will! Who will survive? Disaster film with some shocking exploitation scenes. The filmmakers used real corpses to feed the sharks! Quite high in the gross-out department. Poodle death. Terror at Tenkiller (1986) Two young girls, Janna and Leslie, go to summer vacation at lake Tenkiller, somewhere in Oklahoma, U.S.A. Leslie is stalked by her nasty boyfriend, and someone is killing young girls near the lake. Is there a connection to an old legend? Just a slasher. The Terror of the Tongs (1961) I dunno if this can be had, but I remember staying up late to watch this Hammer film. A secret society of Hong-Kong at the beginning of the century called "The Red Dragon Tong" kidnaps the captain of a ship in the harbour of Hong-Kong as he tries to detain the killers of his daughter. Because the secret society is very powerful it is not easy to free him from their hands.

Recruiting the help of her friends, a weekend camping expedition becomes the forum for each to share their scariest stories, which become frightfully real. La Casa del terror (1960) House of Terror Lon Chaney jr starts off playing a rather rotund mummy who is stolen during a press conference by a mad doctor. The mummy miraculously gets revived and essentially turns into Larry Talbot, right down to the black clothes, and therefore into a wolf man. Now add in a scared wax-museum caretaker, wax figures that are really dead bodies, spooky graveyard shots, a secret laboratory, a hirsuit Chaney chasing Tin-Tan around the lab, a musical number and a King Kong-like finale that has the werewolf climbing up the side of a building with the girl over his shoulder. Story is, Ed Wood directed Chaney dragging the girl up the side of a building in full werewolf regalia. Cementerio del terror (1985) aka Zombie Apocalypse aka Cemetery of Terror This is supposed to be out on DVD.

While on the open sea, in dead calm, they come across a ship with one survivor who is not at all what he seems. Nicole Kidman naked. What more could you ask? Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) I just plain enjoy this movie. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson meet as boys in an English Boarding school. Holmes is known for his deductive ability even as a youth, amazing his classmates with his abilities. When they discover a plot to murder a series of British business men by an Egyptian cult, they move to stop it. You're sitting in a room with an all-southern view. Suddenly, a bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear? Red! The bear is red! Why on Earth would the bear be red? The southern sun is very hot. The bear would be terribly burnt! That is the most absurd answer I've ever heard. I can't afford to jeopardise my medical career! Weasel. I'm not a weasel. I am... practical. Weasels *are* practical. And I imagined you courageous and stout of heart. I am courageous. And I'm stout of heart. It's just that... oh, all right. I'll do it. Yes, Mister French Pastry. I have nothing whatsoever to say to you. I trust you have nothing to say to me. We immediately sprang into action, searching every nook and cranny for the cloth. I accidentally turned on one of Waxflatter's strange machines, and not being at all mechanically-minded, I had the dickens of a time trying to turn the thing off. Peeping Tom (1960) One of the least known classics of the horror.suspense genre, this film was considered despicable when it was first released, and was actually banned in many places. There's no gore and no real sexuality so it's hard to understand now, why it was considered so bad. As a boy, Mark Lewis was subjected to bizarre experiments by his scientist-father, who wanted to study and record the effects of fear on the nervous system. Now grown up, both of his parents dead, Mark works by day as a focus-puller for a London movie studio. He moonlights by taking girlie pictures above a news agent's shop. But Mark has also taken up a horrifying hobby: He murders women while using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror. One evening, Mark meets and befriends Helen Stephens, a young woman who rents one of the rooms in his house. Does Helen represent some kind of possible redemption for Mark - or is she unknowingly running the risk of becoming one of his victims? Fear X (2003) If you like David Lynch, you'll likely enjoy this. About 9 on the weird-shit-o-meter. A Wisconsin security guard who is obsessed with finding the killer of his wife. His wife was mysteriously killed by a man at the mall where he works. His obsession leads to watching surveillance tapes over and over again looking for clues and piecing them together. He asks about a strange house, one across the road from where he lives, ostensibly to move there but the real estate agent tells him it is leased to some corporate account. He then breaks in and finds photo negatives which he has developed and goes in search of the people in the photograph which leads him to Montana. Sorcerer (1977) For some reason, I remember this as a very strange film. I haven't seen it in years. William Friedkin, starring Roy Scheider, music by Tangerine Dream. Based on the French film Salaire de la peur, Le (1953), this production begins with the individual beginnings of outcasts of different backgrounds who are forced by fortune to work in a remote oil drilling operation in South America. When fire breaks out of control the outcasts are given the opportunity to earn enough money to get out by transporting two crates of unstable dynamite through miles of jungle in ancient trucks in this taut thriller. One stunt features two trucks attempting to cross a rope bridge over a raging river. Strange Behavior (1981) A scientist is experimenting with teenagers and turning them into murderers. One of the best films no one's ever seen.

Once the terrifying secret of Lemora is revealed, Lila must uncover what happened to her father and fight for dear life as she tries to escape the clutches of the undead! Mother's Day (1980) I love this cheesy movie. I consider it a classic. Three women who were friends in college get together for a ten year reunion and decide to go camping in the woods. Unknown to them, two boys and thier mother who happen to live in those very same woods, like to abduct people, who happen to wander in thier neck of the woods, and torture them, just like they see on TV! Even though it's a Troma release, it's NOT a Troma movie. Mute Witness (1995) Billy Hughes, a mute makeup artist working on a slasher film being shot in Moscow, is locked in the studio after hours. While there she witnesses a brutal murder, and must first escape capture at that time, then keep from being killed before convincing authorities of what she's seen. Plot twists galore follow as Billy tries to stay alive. The Ugly (1998) As the film begins, a shackled man with a pillowcase on his head is led down a hallway of what appears to be an institution of some kind. He's taken into a room and chained to a chair, suffering some abuse by a couple of orderlies who look like rejects from the film The Road Warrior. Soon Dr. Karen Shoemaker arrives, and we learn she's here to provide an independent assessment of the man, whose name is Simon Cartwright, as he's serial killer of sorts who's been institutionalized for the past number of years. The thing that seems to puzzle authorities the most is Simon doesn't display any of the expected predilections of a serial killer, as all his victims have almost nothing in common, just people, some he knew, some he didn't, chosen at random to meet a grisly fate at the end of a straight edge razor. As Dr. Shoemaker begins to delve into Simon's past and his psyche, we witness some of his crimes and he talks about how voices in his head instructed him to do the things he did, forcing him to comply as they wouldn't stop badgering him until he did, to which we see there may be elements of the supernatural kind at work...we see a history of harassment from schoolmates and co-workers, along with rather harsh treatment by Simon's slightly cuckoo mother. Simon seems willing enough cooperate with Dr. Shoemaker at times, but then one can't help but feel his cooperation is more of a manipulation tactic to get what he really wants, which is still unclear at this point. Eventually Simon is able to gain Dr. Shoemaker's trust enough to allow him some minor liberties, but that ends up with Simon escaping and, well, you'll just have to watch the film if you want to know more... Eye of the Storm (1991) At a highway gas station/motel/diner where they live, two young brothers witness their parents murder. The younger brother is blinded in the same incident. Ten years later both brothers are still there and the tragedy may have turned one of them psychotic.

Not too shabby for a baby devil.

The groovalicious, swingin' '60s, complete with miniskirts and high-hopped hairdos, sets the stage for a red-robed monk and his killer whip in The College Girl Murders. A diabolical scientist cooks up a deadly gas and schemes to make millions. But, a midnight rendezvous with a shadowy benefactor goes awry.

Jackie goes on training with the help of another member of the old gang, until he can eventually get revenge. Fearless Fighters (1973) Totally over the top kung fu fun. See 10 incredible devil weapons used by Kung Fu masters. The really funny thing about Fearless Fighters is that none of the actors in the movie seem to know Kung-Fu at all! The story involves The Eagle Claw fighting clan, lead by To Pa, one of the most fearsome screen villains of recent memory. To Pa and the Eagle Claw clan robs the Almighty Imperial Lightning Whip (who looks exactly like Ming the Merciless) of government gold meant to aid the poor, tragically killing the Lightning Whip in the process.

Gate II: Trespassers (1992) I'm a HUGE fan of The Gate, and I'd kill to get a copy of this sequel. Just as good, and cheesier, than the first.

"Some of those beautiful women have some rugged-looking girlfriends". Rocktober Blood (1984) Cheeeeese.

Widely (and incorrectly) regarded as being based on a true story, the movie follows those that disappeared, and those that stayed behind, but it delights in the asking of questions, not the answering of them. Detroit Rock City (1999) Stupid fun. Four members of a high school band called Mystery do everything they can to attend a KISS concert in Detroit.

"Cop Rock" (1990) If you never saw this when it was on TV, it is on DVD. One of the most bizarre TV shows ever made. The 1990s started off with one of the boldest experiments ever attempted in American television # the creation of an hour-long weekly television police drama, done as a musical. Longtime television innovator Steven Bochco, creator of major hits like Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law, took the biggest risk of his career. He brought the musical back to television but this time as a gritty, street-wise cop show called Cop Rock. The songs were written by a stable of songwriters ably led by the Oscar-winning Randy Newman. Half the critics thought it was the worst idea of the century; half thought it was pure genius. The television drama had been moribund for some time and Bochco created something entirely new, powerful, interesting, fresh. Nothing like it had ever been attempted before, and most importantly, it was done well and done seriously. Its detractors claimed it was unrealistic for cops and robbers to break into song, but none of them had complained quite this loudly about the various aliens that had appeared on the airwaves, about shipwrecked movie stars and millionaires, about bionic men and women, or about the rest of the lackluster crap filling the TV schedule. As an example of its audacity, its first episode alone included a rap song delivered by junkies as they're being arrested in a drug raid, a gospel number by a judge and jury convicting a drug dealer, a tender pop ballad by a husband about his much younger wife, and an R&B number by a corrupt lady mayor to the man who's just offered her a bribe. But the most powerful number came at the end of the episode. A young junkie sits on a bus stop bench singing a lullaby to her infant daughter, a haunting Randy Newman song called "Sandman" (later re-used in Newman's Faust). As she finishes the song, a station wagon pulls up, a man gets out and pays her $200 for the baby. As he drives away with the baby, the junkie finishes the lullaby and breaks down in tears as the music quietly ends and the camera pulls away. It was devastating. And it was brilliant drama. Unfortunately, it cost $1.8 million an episode # a record at the time # and its ratings were consistently dismal. ABC tried to get Bochco to drop the musical numbers but he refused, so they canceled the show after four months. Bochco later told Entertainment Weekly that of all his shows, Cop Rock was by far the most fun he had ever had making television. Years later, Cop Rock was partly redeemed as cable channel VH-1 rebroadcast the series and a new generation discovered its quirky brilliance. Rock-A-Doodle (1991) Stupid little animated movie that's immense fun. The rooster on the farm, Chanticleer, has to sing every morning for the sun to rise.

So silly. The "hair metal" explosion of the 1980s was actually engineered by some very silly-looking animated insects from outer space who later killed Kurt Cobain and made it look like a suicide.

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996) It's just funny as hell. "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood" is a parody of a lot of Afro-American movies, for instance "Boyz N the Hood", "South Central", "Menace II Society", "Higher Learning" and "Juice". We follow Ashtray as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends. A lot of crazy stuff happens, for example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough. Comic Book: The Movie (2004) Well for starters its Mark Hamill walking around, pretending to be a super comic book nerd that centers his attention around a 1940's circa comic book, that Mirimax has recently picked up to be made into a modern day movie. The production company wants it to be bloody and action packed, Donald Swan (Hamill) wants it to be more like the older comic he has grown to love and adore. So the movie company hires him as an "expert" to go around and get the average joes "perceptive" on this would be movie (which is not real people). What makes this mock-umentary so neat is that big names like Stan Lee, Bruce Campbell, and Kevin Smith play along like its the real deal, and talk to Hamill like he isnt Hamill. Even the fans don't rush him yelling Skywalker or anything. Overall its fun to watch, and funny to see the conventions he goes too, and naturally Kevin Smith is pure gold!! A must own for any comic book fan. Tales from the Hood (1995) I love this black version of Tales from the Crypt. Clarence Williams III is great as the funeral director. When three drug dealers are called to a funeral parlor to collect a stash of drugs, they are greeted by the creepy, eccentric Mr. Simms, who proceeds to tell them four moralistic tales of terror regarding the deceased who lie in his parlor. The first tale concerns a man murdered by crooked police officers and the officer who begins hearing his voice from beyond the grave to avenge his death. The second story deals with a boy named Walter, the monster who torments him, and the teacher who realizes that something is wrong. The third story deals with a white supremacist running for governor who lives in an old house with a history of racial violence and who refuses to heed the warnings of the supernatural presence that occupies it. Finally, the fourth story deals with a career criminal who agrees to undergo a horrific behavioral modification program overseen by a government-employed scientist. The stories each become gradually scarier as Mr. Simms go on and as the drug dealers begin to lose their patience, until they are ultimately given what they have come for - and find that there is something much more evil to the funeral home than they ever realized.

But a tournament with such high stakes brings out the best, and worst, in the various competitors and leaders. Li san jiao wei zhen di yu men (1976) aka Deadly Hands of Kung Fu aka The Dragon Lives Again Brucesploitation insanity. Bruce Lee goes to hell, only he doesn't look like Bruce Lee because people look different after they die. Along his journey Bruce has a major erection, befriends Popeye, and fights "Clint Eastwood", James Bond, Zatoichi, Emmanuel, a mummy, and others. I'm not making this up.

Red Spirit Lake (1993) A girl gets a house by a lake when a relative is murdered. Her friends show up and start having sex then get killed by some crazy perverts. Blobermouth (1990) The L.A. Connection are a comedy troupe who did live performances at the Nuart Theatre in the early '90s. They would show some campy '50s movie with the sound turned off and recite their own dialog over it, in the manner of "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" This is a recording of one such revision, that of the original 1958 "The Blob." Every gesture and nuance of the actors on screen is incorporated into the new dialog in hilarious fashion. They also contrive an entirely new "story" around the action. The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew (1983) Classic Canadian comedy. Something is rotten at the Elsinore Brewery. Bob and Doug Mackenzie (as seen on SCTV) help the orphan Pam regain the brewery founded by her recently-deceased father. But to do so, they must confront the suspicious brewmaster and two teams of vicious hockey players. And I'd like to point out that these tapes have not been faked, or altered in any way. In fact they have time coding, which is very hard to fake. Would you please explain for the court "time coding." Well, uh, just because I don't know what it is, it doesn't mean I'm lying. He once got our dead battery goin' by mixin' bird feces and spit, cause there's like acids in it, eh? Fleshy-headed mutant. Are you friendly? No way, eh?

However, one among their number is the mastermind behind a bullion robbery at the airport... and particularly keen to escape the fog! Scream Bloody Murder (2003) just silly fun.

She attempts to strangle her husband, who continues driving at no reduction in speed, while fighting off her attack. As she temporarily recovers her senses, her husband asks, "I can understand your trying to kill me - but why try to kill yourself?" They then arrive at the sanitarium, where he drops her off in the parking lot saying that he is sure that she will have a fast cure. He does not take her inside the building or introduce her to any of the sanitarium staff - just drops her off in the parking lot where she promptly attacks a member of the staff! The sanitarium is a strange place. It is housed in an old Italian castle with a front door that was designed for very short people. Many characters use this door over the course of the movie and have to bend their heads almost as low as their waists in order to pass through. Once inside - keep in mind that this is a sanitarium for mentally disturbed people - the building is decorated with numerous, functioning, medieval instruments of death and torture. These dangerous instruments are basically laying about, in reach of anyone who chooses to employ them! The psychotherapy practiced at the sanitarium is somewhat unique. It involves playing croquet, checkers, and having sexual relationships with the staff! Liquor is served to the patients during evening social gatherings - apparently to "loosen them up!" Into this brew, add a masked maniac - who walks with a swagger that looks as though he is a tenderfoot and just got off the back of a horse - who commits seemingly random, ghastly murders. He uses the asylum's "decorations" as convenient murder weapons. Somehow, the sanitarium "professionals" are not aware that there are any murders being committed at all - no one seems to question the absence of the victims - until the very end of the film! The final scene of the movie is perhaps one of the most violent, gorey episodes ever filmed up to that time.

Each thinks he/she is guilty of the murder. In the asylum, the murders begin again. Who is the killer? Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) Hey, I liked it. Courtney, the younger sister of the "new girl across the street" in the first film is all grown up now, but suffers from nightmares about the Big Wet Incident. She and the other members of her female rock group go to a condo for the weekend to play music and have fun with their boyfriends. Courtney's dreams are of her sister, who is in a mental institution, warning her of having sex, and the dreams begin to spill into real life, threatening Courtney and her friends as they begin experiencing an attrition problem. Slumber Party Massacre III (1990) Liked this one too. After a hard day of volleyball at the beach, a teen whose parents are away decides to have a slumber party with her girlfriends. Their boyfriends predictably show up to scare them, but a stranger from the beach is also seen lurking around the house. Soon the group begins experiencing an attrition problem. Cheerleader Massacre (2003) Five high school cheerleaders, their coach and a couple of adolescent sex-crazed guys travel to a cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway only to be killed off one by one by an unseen maniac. Slumber Party '57 (1976) Teenage Slumber Party Pointless nudity. In 1957, a group of high school girls spending the night in a mansion tell each other about their first sexual experiences. Mai nei dak gung dui (1982) aka Fantasy Mission Force Jackie Chan. Similar to "The Dirty Dozen" or one of that nature. Japan is trying to take over the world and the generals of the allied forces trying to stop the Japanese have been taken prisoner. A force of loners and fighters is put together to try and rescue the generals and save the war effort with the promise of gold and/or pardons of past crimes. Graveyard (2003) Clerks, with zombies. Two minimum wage employees discover that their boss has not only killed them, but has brought them back from the dead to exploit them for free labour. Inspired by years of drudgery and minimum-wage slavery, Graveyard is the story of two under-appreciated bookstore clerks, their paranoid yuppie necromancer boss; an irrationally violent thief; a homeless guy; and the endless night-shift that brings them together. Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973) aka Graveyard Tramps A powerful cosmic force is turning Earth women into queen bees who kill men by wearing them out sexually. Doll Graveyard (2005) These Full Moon movies are just underappreciated. It's 1905 when 12 year old Sophia plays all by herself in her big, creepy house with only four handmade dolls as friends. When her abusive father has finally had enough, he forces her to bury them in the backyard. But, after she "slips" and breaks her neck, dad buries her right along with the dolls. 100 years later, the Fillbrook family moves into the very same house. Guy Fillbrook finds the buried dolls while playing in the backyard. Much like Sophia, Guy has no friends and is the constant source of harassment from Tom and Rich. After Sophia's spirit possesses the dolls, they come to life, protecting Guy from further harm. One night, Guy's sister DeeDee, has a party with her best friends Terri and Olivia. After smoking and drinking with the boys, the dolls stand up for Guy once and for all, violently showing the nasty teenage boys who's boss! With no testosterone left to protect them, the girls fight to the death! Shock Treatment (1981) The sequel to Rocky Horror, I like this one. Not least because it stars the luscious Jessica Harper. Following on from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", this musical is set several years later in Brad and Janet Majors' hometown - which has become a giant TV station; residents are either participants or viewers. They are married now, but their romance has fallen on the rocks. Ostensibly to fix their marriage, Brad is imprisoned on the program "Dentonvale" (the local mental hospital) while Janet is conscripted to become a new star. As Janet is entranced by the high life, she forgets Brad. Who is trying to woo her away? Macy Struthers with my husband. God, I must have been blind! Still, the weaker the man, the dumber the blonde. Oh my god, character actors! Shocking Blue (1994) I don't know if this cult movie can be found. A unclad young woman lying in bed with a twinkle in her eye tells us about a recent discovery. In a long flashback, she visits her fiance's empty apartment on their wedding eve, discovering a porno video. She's angry, then hurt, then confused: she decides to find out why men watch porn. She asks a series of odd men. An on-call gigolo (dressed as a doctor) and a man who's her best friend join her on the couch to coach her in this search for the purpose of porn. Via TV, they get help from philosopher Stephen King. When discovery comes, will she find desire, loneliness, or fantasy at porn's core? Dogs (1976) They used to show this on TV now and then. It was always pretty good. On the quiet campus of the remotely-located SouthWestern University, something strange is happening. All of the dogs in the area, once loyal, gentle pets, are now banding together in wild packs and hunting down their former masters. Could the strange transformation have anything to do with the secret government experiements being conducted in the school's physics laboratory? More importantly, can the dogs be stopped before it's too late? Slaughter (1972) For me, this is the best of the blaxploitation genre. Jim Brown was BAD. Slaughter, a former Green Beret, avenges the killing of loved ones by the Mob, and in so doing is coerced by the Feds into traveling to Mexico to finish off surviving mobsters. Eaten Alive (1977) Classic BAD movie. Judd runs the Starlight Hotel out in some sort of swampy place, and is unfortunately a few slices short of a loaf. He has a crocodile conveniently placed on the other side of the front porch railing. The croc will eat just about anything, as the hapless guests of the hotel find out soon enough. A reformed hooker, an unlucky family, and the father and sister of the hooker all suffer various rates of attrition as Judd tries to implement damage control. Lisa, Lisa (1977) aka Axe A group of 3 pyschopaths on the run from the law, go about terrorizing the local townsfolk of a small community, before descending on an isolated farm which is home to a young girl named Lisa and her paralysed father. After being raped by 2 of the gangsters she retaliates using an axe and razorblades. Slaughter's Big Rip-Off (1973) The sequel. The mob put the finger on Slaughter...so he gave them the finger right back--curled tight around a trigger! Slaughter Studios (2002) First we have our Director. A man with a dream, a camcorder, a two page script, and an array of misfit actors. See him try to get everything together for the ultimate movie, yet see his dream smashed on the rocks of a stormy beach. The cast won't cooperate, the night watchman is lurking about, there's a ghost, and a horndog Arab boy. Who can win with this much against them? Alas our hero dies miserably, film unmade. Next is our Horndog. What 12 year old boy didn't act like this? What 20 year old man? What 30 year old man? Yes the story and character are as old as mankind itself. Guys like big breasts and think of sex 23 hours a day (when they're not eating). Next is our Starlet. She is beautiful, spoiled, a pain in the arse, and drugged up. She won't take her top off until she's drugged, she can't be raped until she's willing. She dies without knowing what's going on. Now for our Goth. She's smart, she's hot, she wears black lipstick. Not nude as often as I'd like, but an able bodied chum you can depend on. Like all Goths. On to our Super-Chested Fantasy Girl. Ah, now here's a woman! Stacked in front and back. Her downfall is her love for the dead actor. How about the Demure sex kitten? She's quiet, you can walk all over her, and she'll take all your abuse. To boot she has a great body and looks swell with her hair down. She's like the cousin in your own family that you wish you weren't related to. You might as well forget about what you're thinking everytime you see her. Of course there�s always the lesbian fantasy, but we get that in our film here. Finally we have our I'm just a dude in a bug costume guy. The common man, the good man, the man of virtue and truth. Oh how well known you are my friend, though unappreciated. Filmed in Roger Corman's studio. Camp Daze (2005) aka Camp Slaughter A group of kids break down while driving down a remote forest road. After a disturbing night alone in the woods, they stumble upon Camp Hiawatha in full swing and packed with seemingly happy teenagers. However, the teens and the camp itself are strangely trapped back in 1981. The clothes, the music, the hair, and the attitudes are 24 years back in time. The campers are forced to relive the same day and night over and over again. The night when a silent killer stalked the camp silencing campers and counselors one by one. The kids from the present struggle to understand and help the teens from 1981 break free of the curse. Working together both time-periods begin to learn about the different worlds from which they come and what it will take for all of them to survive.

The bodies begin piling up as the owner of Frightland loses patience. Will the investigators learn who the killer is before it's too late? Hayride Slaughter II (2003) Jim O'Rear returns as Clifford James, hellbent on revenge and ready to claim the power that was denied him. Using a wealth of magical skills picked up in the Hell-dimension he was banished to, Clifford and his lovely assistant pick off victims one-by-one in unusual and clever ways. Will Detective Joseph Peale be able to stop him again or is Clifford's power too great?? Slaughterhouse of the Rising Sun (2005) Odd. Jennifer (Cheryl Dent) has just been released from a mental institution where she was incarcerated after a psychotic episode during which she clawed out the eyes of her co-star during the shooting of a porn flick. After being waylaid in the desert by a couple of thugs, she is rescued by a group of flower children, who soon turn out to be more dangerous yet. They head to the house with a bad reputation, and then the murderous hippies start being killed off one by one. By Jennifer, or by something else? Don't mix it up with another Slaughterhouse movie which is a waste of time. Slaughterhouse Rock (1988) This one was cheesy but kinda cool. A man visits Alcatraz prison after having dreams about all the people who died there. When he gets there, his brother is possessed by an envil cannibal demon. The ghost of a female heavy metal singer who was killed there tries to help the man fight the monster. The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966) Dated but still funny 60s comedy. When a Soviet submarine captain comes up for a look at America (off the coast of a small island in Massachusetts) he runs aground. He sends his two English speaking crewmen to procure a boat with enough power to pull them off. The 2 English speakers and 6 Russian sailors don't exactly blend in and the town is convinced that they are being invaded. I'm sorry, I-- I wasn't trying to-- Well, I-- I was trying to kill you, I'll admit that, but it wasn't-- I mean, it wasn't anything personal. Hmm... don't do it no more.

Their paths soon cross with Tack, from whom they learn about a pair of foreign radical chicks hanging out near the Frankie Avalon place. Over Joe's objections, Hubbs worms Tack out of the deal, and the pair take a slow ride toward their destiny. I'd kick his ass if it wasn't for his massive upper body stregnth. Ever since you got hit by that laser at that Blue Oyster Cult Show you've been acting like a pussy! Where do you get your values? From that stinking heavy metal music you listen to day and night?

Is that fuckin' eyeball lookin' at you again? I Saw What You Did (1965) William Castle.

But somebody else knows of the terrible crime that was committed that night, the killer's desperately amorous neighbour Amy Nelson (Joan Crawford). Zotz!
