Blood Rage (1987) Directed By: John Grissmer Starring: Louise Lasser, Mark Soper, Julie Gordon, some fucker named Brad Maybe you know it as "Nightmare at Shadow Woods" or "Slasher" (real original name there), but we're talking about the 1987 film Blood Rage, which takes place around American Thanksgiving - a pair of young twins get up to twin stuff, you know, like murdering some dude at the drive in. The bad one blames the good one and the good one goes away. But now it's 10 years later and the

New York Ninja (2021)Directed By: John Liu, Kurtis Spieler Starring (The Voices of): Don Wilson, Michael Berryman, Linnea Quigley, some other kung fu fuckers New York Ninja is a movie that was originally shot in 1984, but for whatever reason was lost... Until 2021, that is. Vinegar Syndrome found this movie, and hired an editor to painstakingly go through 8-9 hours of film to cut together a cohesive (kinda) story and hired voice actors to play the parts, since the original film lacked sound.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)Directed By: Tommy Lee Wallace Starring: Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, Dan O'Herlihy and some mushy faced pumpkin fuckers Rounding out this Horrorween, and on a very special Halloween episode, we're joined by the one, the only, BP from the Let's Talk Horror Channel. We have a little sit down to discuss the finer points of what some might call the BEST film in the Halloween franchise (even if it doesn't have much to do with that guy in the old Bill Shatner

Basket Case (1982) Directed By: Frank Henenlotter Starring: Kevin VanHentenryck, Terri Susan Smith, Beverly Bonner, some other baskety fuckers Our second dive into Frank Henenlotter's weird and wonderful cinematic universe. Following up from Frankenhooker, this time around it's Basket Case. We can't do it justice here so let's just let IMDB tell you about it here: "A young man carrying a big basket that contains his extremely deformed, formerly conjoined twin brother seeks vengeance on the doctors

Creepshow (1982)

2024/10/22

Creepshow (1982) Directed By: George A. Romero Starring: Hal Holbrook, Leslie Nielsen, Adrienne Barbeau, some handsome Frankenstein looking fuckers. Sean can chalk this up to one of his most terrifying early memories, and John's a big fan of Fluffy, but this George Romero directed, Stephen King written horror anthology has a few tricks up it's sleeve. IMDB describes it as: "Five grisly tales from a kid's comic book about a murdered father rising from his grave, a bizarre meteor, a vengeful husband,

Night of the Demons (1988)

2024/10/15

Night of the Demons (1988) Directed By: Kevin Tenney Starring: Cathy Podewell, Alvin Alexis, Hal Havins, some other fucker that John is in love with. Some people would argue that this is the quintessential 80s horror movie, others might argue that the pacing is a little off, but no one would argue that this is the halfway point already of our Horrorween series for 2024. IMDB describes Night of the Demons as: Ten teenagers party at an abandoned funeral parlor on Halloween night. When an evil force

2024/10/08

Deadstream (2022) Directed by: Joseph Winter, Vanessa Winter Starring: Joseph Winter, Melanie Stone, Jason K. Wixom, barely any other fuckers. The next movie in our Horrorween 2024 extravaganza is a cornucopia of douchetuber activity. Would you stay overnight, alone in a decrepit farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, self sabotaging any efforts to get the hell out of dodge? The "Wrath of Sean" ain't afraid of no ghosts, or is he? IMDB says about Deadstream: "A disgraced internet personality attempts

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)Directed By: Wes Craven Starring: Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp, Robert Englund, this other fucking guy that's in just about everything. IT'S THE START OF HORRORWEEN 2024! We're kicking it off with good old Scary Terry himself - the one and only Fredrick F. Krueger who's come to terrorize you in your dreams with a knifed glove!

Playing with Fire (1985)

2024/09/24

Playing with Fire (1985) Directed By: Ivan Nagy Starring: Gary Coleman, Cicely Tyson, Ron O'Neal, some other fighter setting fuckers. Prepare for John's Saltiest take of all time. In the 80's Gary Coleman could do no wrong - he was the star of a little show called "Diff'rent Strokes" and he had been merchandised to hell and back, but as a child actor aging up, he was trying to get into more serious roles. What better way to do that than to play 'young teen'

Longlegs (2024)Directed By: Osgood Perkins Starring: Maika Monroe, Nicolas Cage, Blair Underwood, some dysfunctional family fuckers Nicolas Cage as a serial killer? The occult and mysteries about? "The best horror movie of the year" and a "goddamned scary must see"? Hmm, don't know about all that noise, but IMDB has this to say about Longlegs: In pursuit of a serial killer, an FBI agent uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing

2024/09/13

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Directed By: Joseph Zito Starring: Erich Anderson, Judie Aronson, Peter Barton, some other little patchy haired fuckers Not to be confused with a new beginning, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (also known as Part IV around these parts) feels like it's going to be the end of a saga, but I have a feeling the studio and the people making the money have other plans. IMDB describes this film as: "After being announced dead and taken to a morgue, Jason

Champagne and Bullets (1993) Directed By: John De Hart, James Paradise Starring: John De Hart, Wings Hauser, William Smith, some half naked fuckers This "movie" goes by a few different names, "Champagne and Bullets", "Road to Revenge" and "GetEven" ("GetEven" is linked above) - and are all different cuts of the same film. Regardless of that, it's undeniable that this movie was written, produced, directed and stars John De Hart. IMDB describes the

Night of the Kickfighters (1988)Directed By:Buddy Reyes Starring: Adam West, Andy Bauman ,Marcia Karr, some other kicking fuckers What do you get when you have a guy who's never starred in anything (but the movie poster says he has) to kick his way into rescuing a scientists daughter from the hands of an international terrorist group? Well, that makes it sound exciting, but you get Night of the Kickfighters instead. IMDB describes this as: A champion kickboxer is hired to get back the

The Mouse Trap (2024)Directed By: Jamie Bailey Starring: Who the fuck cares? Whether you know this movie as The Mouse Trap or Mickey's Mouse Trap, the fact of the matter is that this is the movie that you've probably heard of that's based on the expiring copyright of Disney's "Steamboat Willie". IMDB describes this as: "It's Alex's 21st Birthday, but she's stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked

Shogun Assassin (1980)Directed by:Robert Houston, Kenji Misumi Starring: Tomisaburô Wakayama, Kayo Matsuo, Minoru Ôki, some voice acting fuckers Shogun Assassin is that movie that Quentin Tarantino always kinda copied but never told you about. You ever listen to Wu-Tang? You probably have heard samples from this movie on some of those tracks. Do you like blood spurts, people getting their heads split in half and a clan of female ninjas cutting a skilled warrior literally into tiny pieces? Shogun

He plays an out of town FBI agent who's tracking down a series of crimes committed by people with no previous record and gets teamed up with Michael Nouri - the local LAPD detective on the case. Here's what IMDB has to say about The Hidden - "A cop and an FBI agent race for

Directed By: Kathryn BigelowStarring: Patrick Swayze ,Keanu Reeves, Gary Busey, some tank girl fuckers Is this the quintessential surfing movie? You could say 'Surf Ninjas Must Die' because it's got surfing right in the title. You could say Escape from LA because there's an amazing surfing scene there... I guess it's still open to debate. IMDB describes Point Break as: "An F.B.I. Agent goes undercover to catch a gang of surfers who may be bank robbers." Short and to

In A Violent Nature (2024)Directed By: Chris Nash Starring: Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love, some lumbering fuckers How does a hyped and from what we've heard, divisive, new age camp slasher stand up to the scrutiny of some fans of the old way things were done? Does that sentence even make sense? Here's how IMDB describes "In A Violent Nature": "When a locket is removed from a collapsed fire tower in the woods that entombs the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful
