The most bizarre genre mash up of all time comes straight out of Hong Kong where we see Lam Ching Ying AKA “Mr. Vampire” embark on one of his wildest adventures of his whole damn career as an ass kicking ghostbuster! The Wizard’s Curse from 1992 is a film that you will blow your undies right off your heiny and get you in the mood for love and supernatural martial arts mayhem! One of my favorite Hong Kong horror comedies of all time gets sexy and needs a blu ray badly!! Check this bonkers highly under-seen gem out!!

Today we take look at the latest awesome Vinegar Syndrome double feature Hong Kong horror blu ray of THE SEVENTH CURSE & WITCH FROM NEPAL! One of the craziest horror flicks of all time from the director of RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY. More insane than EVIL DEAD II and as gory and gross as Peter Jacksons ‘DEAD ALIVE”. But that’s just for starters we also cover some upcoming and classic Hong Kong horrors that are soon to be released on blu ray here in the US. So let’s get into the best era of horror from the far east straight out of the 1980s!

Today we talk about sci-fi killer robot teen horror romp EVOLVER! The spiritual sequel IMO to the 1980s evil robot terror of CHOPPING MALL! Yes the director of The House on Sorority Row from 1982 delivers one of the most forgotten and best killer robot flicks of the 90s! EVOLVER is one mean little tin can that captures the best aspects of machine mayhem in this totally def flick from 1995!!!

Today we’re talking’ some 1980s TV and we’re covering the scariest, craziest episode of the 1980s Twilight Zone directed by William “The Exorcist” Friedkin! This 80s incarnation of the the iconic anthology series just does NOT get enough love, in fact so many people seem to have forgotten it all together. Well we’ll discuss how it all came together after the highly controversial, tragic but iconic 1983 film and just how some of these installments of the 1980s series could’ve been used for a sequel film! Check it out!

I love a great AMBLIN rip-off flick! There are many from the 1980s that steal the vibe from classic “kids in danger” films like ET, The GOONIES & POLTERGEIST! However back in the 80s Roland Emmerich of INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996) and GODZILLA (1998) fame busted out a couple that feature some serious puppet MYAHEM! Yeah MAKING CONTACT (1985) & GHOST CHASE (1987) are some weird-o fx heavy head scratchers that need a wider cult following! Not only does he heavily rip off Spielberg but also goes hard & fails on the John Hughes rip too in the unbelievably idiotic ‘Ghost Chase’! For fans obsessed with PUPPETS!

Today we take a closer look at “dumbed down on purpose” streaming content, the upcoming ‘FANTASTIC FOUR: First Steps’ film & the state of the MCU & modern comic books from the perspective of an old WASHED UP Marvel Comics collector! All from my bedroom! PLUS more ideas on where the MCU should go if they wanna get the approval of us old nerds of the 1980s who collected comic books and were picked on for it when it WASN’T COOL!

Today I tackle the largely forgotten 2004 road rage horror of HIGHWAYMEN! In the 2000’s Robert Harmon, director of THE HITCHER (1986) returned to the horror genre to deliver more of his signature “road terror” with this largely forgotten film that I feel deserves to be talked about a LOT more. Features Jim “Jesus” Caviezal and Rhona Mitra in a fight against a psychotic serial killer who stalks random people using his old beat up demonic looking car as his murder weapon. The most URGENT car chases ensue in a tale of road revenge delivered by the master of the genre himself!

Are YOU a fan of PHANTASM? How about The GOONIES?! Well if so you’ve just gotta check out Don Coscarelli’s coming of age forgotten treasure KENNY & COMPANY from 1976! Today I cover this unique little gem from simpler times filled with adventure and razor sharp comedy that essentially features the entire cast of PHANTASM. Yes this sweet under seen 70s cult classic was also the inspiration to Coscarelli to craft his iconic horror franchise. Check this out if you’re looking for something truly authentic from times when kids and adult alike had thicker skin and a much bigger sense of humor! Oh yeah if you haven’t already subscribe to the channel! 😘

Right in time for the holidays, check out the dirt on this super underrated flick from 2006 that goes WAY over the top with some WILD Xmas conspiracies-TWO FRONT TEETH! This bizarro little yuletide gem is perfect for fans of SOV, no budget schlock and is quite ambitious in everything it tries to pull off in its mysteriously stupid story! I think it’s well on its way to becoming a bonafide weirdo holiday cult classic! Have you seen this wacky, heartfelt tale of terror before?
