The time Frosty the Snowman started microwaving women
As if the title of the 1983 film Microwave Massacre doesn’t tip you off, you know you’re in for a trashy cult film when a chick sticks her huge hooters into a “glory hole” at a construction site in the … Continue reading
Crappy creepy Spookies seriously has it all
Apparently, the 1986 movie Spookies is the final, badly edited cut of a much better movie called Twisted Souls. When this sloppy mess came to VHS in the 80s, I watched it once then completely forgot it. But if you … Continue reading

Imagine a religious exorcist experience at a convent without the Linda Blair look, and you have the 1981 Italian horror film The Other Hell, also known as Guardian of Hell. You know what you’re in for when a nun cries, … Continue reading
3 bad seeds make for one Bloody Birthday
Combine The Bad Seed with early 80s slasher mentality and you get Bloody Birthday. An opening kill of a couple having sex in a grave makes this look (and sound) like another Friday the 13th knockoff. But this is the … Continue reading
Slaughterhouse Rock or Slaughterhouse New Wave?
Slaughterhouse Rock is one of many bizarre horror flicks that tried so hard to be different after the onslaught of copycat slashers in the first part of the 80s. As a result, it suffered the same fate; it’s a typical … Continue reading
Wake up to the 80s throwback slasher The Sleeper
I am so psyched that there are so many directors making horror films that not only mimic the style of great 1980s VHS classics, but also take place in the 80s. Just like the movie Camp Slaughter, The Sleeper is … Continue reading
Something has gotten into their brains!
I happened to get the 1981 film Strange Behavior and the 1988 film Brain Damage on DVD in the same week. Since they both have to do with people being mind-fucked in the 80s, I thought I’d blog about them … Continue reading
Take a ride on a fantastically sleazy 80s horror train
Night Train to Terror is a 1985 horror anthology that is so awesomely 80s!!! The opening faux wave band on the train totally rules: he lead singer’s head band, the Flashdance shirts, the colors, the choreographed dancing. It’s an amazing … Continue reading
