Today we’re going deep into the wilderness with Portland’s own cult cinema legends Wyrd War! Yes I’m talking about the Silver Falls Sleepover Slaughter where we stayed at the exact location where the 1981 iconic slasher flick JUST BEFORE DAWN was filmed!

Peter Jackson claims there’s a new film lurking in the same universe as 1992’s DEAD ALIVE aka BRAIN DEAD! Yeah, the big time Hollywood & former iconic cult film director’s apparently gonna get gory again it seems-BUT can he deliver the splatter like he did when he was a young buck or will he just…

Today talk all things about dragons and just why Dragonslayer’s Vermithrax is the BEST dragon ever put to film! I checked it out on blu-ray after decades and it HOLDS up. So much so that it makes a mockery of all the CGI dragons Hollywood has churned out over the years! This classic fantasy film…

Today I’m covering the barely ever talked about totally bonkers horror of DANGEROUS SEDUCTRESS from 1992! A film so sexy, so sultry and so scary that macho men from all over the world will think twice before harassing or even hitting on a woman again! One of the wildest horror films all the way from…

A totally forgotten action thriller with an unhinged plot and over the top idiotic characters a plenty make this under seen 1980s gem a must see for bizarro movie fanatics. With a stacked cast of B-level action heroes of yesteryear and cult icons like PJ Soles and Clint Howard, B.O.R.N. will melt your mind and…

Today we talk about dvd hunting at thrift store in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and watching weird-O films found there with your mom! Yes a random “in the wild find” PRIMAL FORCE from 1999 is a forgotten monster movie starring resident bad ass Ron Perlman in an oddly similar Hellboy style role battling mutant baboons…

Ok with ALL this Gremlins talk here I had to end this trilogy of videos by paying homage to the “little monster” films of the 1980s and 90s! Some call them Gremlins “RIP-OFFS” but I just can’t get enuff of little monster MAYHEM! What’s your favorite and what movies did I miss here?! Let’s talk…

We’re talkin’ little monsters again today, covering the news of the 1983 “assembly cut” 160 minute version of GREMLINS that was just recently unearthed on VHS by Joe Dante! …And the underrated 1985 little monster Gremlins rival cult classic GHOULIES! Is it a blatant rip-off or a true iconic horror gem?! Let’s talk about it!

Today we talk about a wicked video store staple from FANGORIA Films from the early 90s- CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT! Filmed in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, an area that for a short time transformed the unlikely small towns of the region into a full on horror MECCA! Check out the first installment about this unique…

Today we cover a couple “trapped on VHS” gems jam packed with mutants, cyborgs & test tube baby puppet monstrosities straight out of the late 80’s/early 90s. DOCTOR DEATH the new VHS release from Black Video & AMERICAN CYBORG: Steel Warrior from 1993 – These two virtually plotless post apocalyptic action gems are a must…
