Rare Slashers

[Ron]

Yep, this is the place to discuss them, ask questions, review them, or just plain bitch about them. Enjoy!:)

[DavidDunn]

Well, the one rare slasher that comes to mind is Buried Alive. Anyone seen that one? Jennifer Jason Leigh and William Atherton are a couple of lovers that try to kill Leigh's husband Tim Matheson for the insurance dollars. Catch is, they didn't give him enough poison and he broke out of his tomb to return for some bloody revenge. He was a counstruction worker, so he kills them off in this elaborate maze-like trap that he built while they were trapped in the basement. He wears a welder's helmet to conceal his identity, and he's really the one that we root for. It's a tense little picture. Tim Matheson was badass. The Otter strikes back!!!!

[sCabbOy]

Yeah, I have that movie (Buried Alive) I like it a lot. I haven't seen Buried Alive II yet, but I'm gonna get it. There's also Edgar Allen Poe's Buried Alive which is also good.

As for rare slashers, one that I have seen recently that I liked was Scream Bloody Murder (the 1970's one)

[DavidDunn]

Buried Alive 2 was pretty good. A tad inferior, but still great. In that one, it's a wife left for dead by a cheating hubby. Tim Matheson returns to show her the ropes of revenge, and she traps the two lovers on a sunken yacht. Ally Sheedy is the wife character, and the film series' kills are better than ever.

[Ron]

I've been able to get my hands on a couple gems recently. One that comes to mind is 555. It's about a man who dresses like a hippie and kills couples every 5 years within 5 days. It's a pretty solid generic slasher.

[sCabbOy]

I want 555, it goes for like 5o bucks though.

[Ron]

I got it for 13 bucks.

[DarkPumpkin]

Among some in my collection:

New Year's Evil- a laughably "so-bad it's still awful" slasher that was graciously burned off for me.

Slaughter High- a guilty pleasure. I caught it on HBO one insomiac filled night, and it's absurdness makes it so much fun. Who the hell takes a bath at a high school reunion? What the hell kind of high school has only 6 people attending for its reunion?

Madman- In the same vein as Friday the 13th. Has a notorious hot tub scene that will leave you feeling very awkward afterwards.

Stepfather- A movie that doesn't get the respect it deserves. It's truly a slasher film at heart. Terry O'Quinn gives a chilling performance and that you won't soon forget.

Kolobos- A pretty imaginative and well done slasher on a small budget. It's also extremely bizzarre. Not too many I know have heard of this film, but it's worth checking out.

Popcorn- Another unrecognized gem. Popcorn is another creative slasher that not many remember.

[Ron]

Ahh Popcorn was indeed a very overlooked slasher. Another favorite of mine is Honeymoon Horror which is a long forgotten great piece of slasher.

[sCabbOy]

I love Popcorn haha.

What about the more obscure ones like:
Edge Of The Axe
Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker
Humongous
Killer Party
and sich?

So many movies...

[Ron]

yeah the list just goes on..
home sweet home
the night brings charlie

junior
meatcleaver massacre
murderlust....


just to name a few.

[Joshg]

Night Warning (Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker) is one that I've been searching for for a while, ever since sites have been giving it top slasher reviews! Like Terror Trap for instance, which gave it 3.5/4...Hooray!

I own Silent Madness and Too Scared to Scream, and thought that they were both great obscure slashers.

Well...okay, TStS was below average, and Silent Madness wasn't great, but it was fun!

Blood Rage I just watched yesterday.
Humongous is a favorite of mine, and Fatal Games...for some reason...don't know why...

AHH! I used "...'s" so many times. I'm officially a bad writer. :(

[DavidDunn]

Has anyone here seen Anguish with Zelda Rubenstein? It basically has the same premise as Popcorn with a killer in the theatre murdering moviegoers to the theme of the horror film on the screen, but it was made before Popcorn and I believe that it was done better.

"The eyes of the city are mine."

[Ron]

I forgot all about stage fright, well I don't think it's that rare, but it's a great slasher with some cool kills.

[Brett H.]

The rarest slasher I own is called Into the Darkness. It stars Donald Pleasance and his real life daughter, Polly. I picked it up for $3 and to date I can't even find a VHS cover pic of it anywhere online. I have found one review, and it's on IMDB from a guy who wrote it in 1999. It still doesn't have 5 IMDB votes. So, I believe I have one of the rarest slashers in existence, but I don't think it is worth much simply because no one knows it exists.

[sCabbOy]

You'd be surprised how many people know of movies but simply just can't find them. I'd buy that movie from you!

[DarkPumpkin]

How about Curtains?

[Joshg]

Curtains is fairly rare. Wasn't a bad flick either. 6/10. The Hag is one cool and creepy killer.

[The Tall Man]

Wait a minute Boo... how many daughters did Donald have? I was only aware the actress daughter he had was Angela?

T.M.

[sCabbOy]

I liked Curtains... it was slow at parts but it seemed to always lead up to really good parts.

An underrated one is Fade To Black. A really weird slasher, but I like it a lot.

[Rich]

Pieces and Memorial Valley Massacre are a couple of rare good slasher films that I enjoyed. They are public domain so you can get them together form $10.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AWKF71F1L._AA240_.jpg

[sCabbOy]

Pieces is gonna have a SE soon from Grindhouse Releasing. I can't wait! Memorial Valley Massacre is so damn bad that it's golden.


Anyone like killer bee movies?

The Killer Bees
The Savage Bees
Terror Out Of The Sky
Killer Buzz
Deadly Invasion

to name a few, and then killer vehicle movies.

Maximum Overdrive
Trucks (unofficial Max Overdrive remake)
The Car
Killdozer
Wheels Of Terror
Rolling Vengeance

I dunno, I get a kick out of horror movies with weird gimmicks like those.

[kramerfan]

Ive know about Into The Darkness for months n months and have it on to get list.

[DarkPumpkin]

Scab, I love Fade Into Black! I keep searching for a used copy to score cheap in used DVD stores.

A few more (probably aren't rare to us, but the mainstreamers probably haven't heard of them):

Mountaintop Motel Massacre
American Gothic
Deranged
Motel Hell
Iced
The Unholy (not a straight by the book slasher per say, but still, a damn fine film starring the hotness that is Ben Cross that never gets recognized)

And I forgot The Kiss. I absolutely love this movie, and I have only met one other person in real life who even knew it existed besides me. It made me afraid of escalators for life!

[Brett H.]

Wait a minute Boo... how many daughters did Donald have? I was only aware the actress daughter he had was Angela?

T.M.

I honestly don't know, Tally. But I would like to tap the ass of one just to say I did. ;)

Nah, I'd be a gentleman 'cause I respect ol' Donald.

Motel Hell is definatly a great movie in my opinion. I wish I would have picked it up when I had the chance.

[Joshg]

Motel Hell and Mountaintop Motel Massacre were great! I love them to death. MMM is more fun, but MH is morbidly amusing.

[Ron]

I think they're (yes the Gods of remakes) are remaking Motel Hell.

[sCabbOy]

MMM is a great movie. I love it.

As for movies that I would LOVE to be on DVD;

Killer Party
Killer Workout
Death Spa
Blood Diner
TerrorVision
The Boogens
Video Dead
Blood Salvage
Trick Or TReat (The Halloween ripoff)
Ticks
Grotesque
Twice Dead
Redeemer (which is)
Night Screams...

god there are so many

[Ron]

Hey Scab, i have a copy of Night Screams that I just recently bought and brand new..I believe it's still in print.

[Lammert]

Some classics for me wich I watched back in the day when I first saw Friday The 13th:

Edge of the Axe (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094627/)
Bodycount (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090788/)
Twisted Nightmare (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134167/)(filmed on the same location as Friday the 13th Part 3)

These are the first 3 that come to mind.

[DarkPumpkin]

MMM is a great movie. I love it.

Are you talking about the Ami Dolenz Ticks? Because I could have sworn that was on DVD at one point in time. You have really good choices here, Scab.

[Rich]

I did not like Hotel Hell. I found it very boring.

[sCabbOy]

Are you talking about the Ami Dolenz Ticks? Because I could have sworn that was on DVD at one point in time. You have really good choices here, Scab.

Yeah, THAT Ticks. Haha.. Ami Dolenz was one of my fave "scream queens" that never came to be. Ticks, Pumpkinhead, Witchboard, Demolition University... drools.

But I dunno, never saw it on DVD. I have a professional dub of it from Laserdisc on DVDr with a professional printed cover. It's a bootleg, but it's a DVD.

Who can't love that movie? Alfonso Ribiero, Seth Green, PEter Scolari and Clint Howard?

[Joshg]

Horror House on Highway 5 makes its way to DVD later this month. Interesting.

[sCabbOy]

I have the OOP DVD, it was released a few years back. I have HHoHi5 VHS, and the VHS's transfer is like 10 times better than the DVD so hopefully the new DVD has a better transfer and extras.

Weird movie though.

http://scabboy.net/menu/hellhouse5.jpg

[Ron]

another one just randomly popped into my head : Pranks.

[Spade]

Some classics for me wich I watched back in the day when I first saw Friday The 13th:

Edge of the Axe (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094627/)


That's a good movie. I still watch the vhs every now and then.

Take care and God bless.

Spade

[Ron]

I love the opening scene to Edge Of The Axe. Great opening kill.

[sCabbOy]

The opening scene in Edge was one of the better slasher opening scenes. I love that movie though- great feel.

Same with Honeymoon Horror. I love those old slashers shot in the south.

[Ron]

Honeymoon Horror had a great backstory. It was straight to the point. I love the whole feel of that movie.

[sCabbOy]

Honeymoon Horror had a great backstory. It was straight to the point. I love the whole feel of that movie.

The Dukes Of Hazzard-esque police added a lot as well. The music it played when it showed them was priceless.

[Skott]

I'm shocked Motel Hell is OOP on DVD, I saw it on the shelf not too long ago. Glad I picked it up when it came out, not a bad movie at all.

[sCabbOy]

Is it on DVD alone? I know it's on a DF with Deranged.

[Ron]

If they really are remaking it like I've heard then they'll probably re-release the original to cash in.

[sCabbOy]

If they really are remaking it like I've heard then they'll probably re-release the original to cash in.

I'm sure they will.

I'd like to have commentary for this as well.

[DarkPumpkin]

Is it on DVD alone? I know it's on a DF with Deranged.

It's alone on a very crappy and incorrectly framed release from Germany, but here in the States its only available on the now OOP Midnite Movie feature along with Deranged. I lucked into finding a copy for 10 because there was no way I was paying the $50+ I have seen it go for on Ebay.

[Ron]

I just found out from the fangoria chopping list that there re-relesing Stagefright. That's a damn good slasher.

[Rich]

Is it on DVD alone? I know it's on a DF with Deranged.

I personally own the double feature with Derranged (which was the better movie, and was inspired by Ed Gein) but I honestly did not think either movie was anything special. There are only a select few slasher films that I consider to be "good films."

[NETRA]

Maybe one of you can help me with this one . . . There's a movie about a husband who reads his wife's diary and finds out she's cheating on him with several guys. So he kills them off one by one. I can't think of the movie's name but it stands out in my memory because one of the kills involved a ceiling fan. He replaced the ordinary blades with machetes. Anyone?

[WesReviews]

Some recommendations and general comments...

Class Reunion Massacre (aka: The Redeemer) - I can't say enough good things about this movie. Creepy as hell, with a great atmosphere and a truly scary killer. This one was a total surprise. Seek it out at all costs.

Hospital Massacre - Okay, okay...the real reason I enjoy this is because of the uncommonly long nude scenes with Barbi Benton, but still. The movie does have a weird feel to it, the killer is completely insane, and hospitals are always kinda spooky. Worth tracking down if you can find it at a decent price.

Night School - Hopefully, Warner Bros. will release this on DVD before too long. Great little slasher. Almost has a giallo feel to it, but it's a slasher, no doubt about it.

Scream - NOT the 1996 Wes Craven film, but the long lost early 80's slasher. This movie is downright spooky at times, due to the nature of the killer and the filmmakers managed to create a creepy, desolate atmosphere out of next to nothing. This is a weird one. I don't really recommend it because it drags a LOT, but it's just so odd in general, I really want others to see it just to be able to discuss it with them.

House on Sorority Row - Not too rare these days (hey, it has a legit DVD release, at least), but not a lot of people have seen it. Very good slasher with a decent cast, and a pretty creepy killer. I just love campus slashers.

Final Exam - By all accounts, I should NOT like this movie...it's pretty slow, there is no nudity, and it has next to no blood...but I really enjoyed it. I think I'm just a sucker for campus slashers, and the filmmakers created a slow, but strangely engaging film. I think the fact that you never learn the killer's motivations at all...just some random guy going nuts also helped the film.

The Mutilator - Definitely not in the slasher top 10, but definitely watchable. For one thing, they show the killer entirely too much. If they're going to show the killer, the killer should at least be scary. Nope. Just looks like your average drunken slob. However, the gore is both over the top and interesting. The notorious "hook" scene...yikes! Good stuff. Can't wait for Code Red's DVD of this one.

Silent Madness - Pretty drab all around. I would have loved to have seen this in 3-D as it was originally produced. Pretty much, the early-mid eighties 3-D gimmick resurgence is the entire reason this film exists at all. Otherwise, it's pretty lame. Lame killer, lame cast, lame setup.

[Joshg]

I've seen all of those but The Redeemer, Hospital Massacre, and Scream. I like 'em all, Mutilator and Night School probably my choices for weakest of the bunch. But they're all fair, and must-haves for slasher fans. Especially Sorority Row!

[Kat]

Anyone remember the Clown at Midnight? It came out in like 1998 or something and wasn't overly bad.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I love the really rare slashers.

Some of my favorites include:

Mountaintop Motel Massacre (very underrated, IMO)
Edge of the Axe
Popcorn
Don't Go In The Woods...Alone
Video Violence 1 & 2

There are MANY others, haha.

[Joshg]

I wouldn't really call MMM very rare IMO. The Anchor Bay single DVD, not to mention double feature with The Initiation (!) has brought it out of obscurity.

But yeah, VERY underated. I can't believe the many viewers who disliked it. I mean, it was slasher gold! An easy 7/10+.

[Ron]

Scream - NOT the 1996 Wes Craven film, but the long lost early 80's slasher. This movie is downright spooky at times, due to the nature of the killer and the filmmakers managed to create a creepy, desolate atmosphere out of next to nothing. This is a weird one. I don't really recommend it because it drags a LOT, but it's just so odd in general, I really want others to see it just to be able to discuss it with them.



I'll be getting this in a few weeks from a friend so I'll be able to discuss it with you:)

[sCabbOy]

The old Scream movie... Well, I thought it was boring but like most other 80's slashers it had a great atmosphere that makes the movie good.

[DarkPumpkin]

Night School also has a very neat twist. Sure, it's a twist you can see a million miles away, but it's still a neat little twist. As always Wes, you manage to dig up some obscure and awesome picks.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I wouldn't really call MMM very rare IMO. The Anchor Bay single DVD, not to mention double feature with The Initiation (!) has brought it out of obscurity.

But yeah, VERY underated. I can't believe the many viewers who disliked it. I mean, it was slasher gold! An easy 7/10+.

That's true. I would say it's VERY rare to the general/mainstream audience. It is very underrated. The atmosphere/score were great, and worked well together.

[DarkPumpkin]

I would also add:

- The Prowler/Rosemary's Killer

- Christmas Evil (Totally got overlooked with the whole SN, DN fiasco)

- Funhouse (This one seems to be Tobe Hooper's unknown film among the mainstreamers. Believe me, I have asked them.)

- The Boogey Man (No, not that dreadful Barry Watson film, but a bizarre little flick from the early 80's featuring a possessed mirror)

And while not a slasher, I got to say that "The Running Man" is the film I get more blank stares at than any other film hands down. It's my absolute favorite Arnold flick, and one of my favorite action films ever. I was sure it was a box office hit, and yet no one ever seems to know what I am talking about.

[Ron]

Some great choices DP. I loved Funhouse. I especially loved the way that the killers face looked..it was gross.

[sCabbOy]

Funhouse was good. Hooper's third best movie, IMO.

[Utellme]

Monster Dog is a good b rated horror movie imo.

[The Dream Master]

The Paperboy seems to be fairly rare. There's no DVD release, and it was a DTV release back in '94. I'm thinking I saw it on USA Up All Night. Beware, though, it's awful: So awful that I've only seen it once over ten years ago, and it still sticks with me.

[Lammert]

I love the opening scene to Edge Of The Axe. Great opening kill.

Has it been released on dvd yet..? I can find it anymore over here, since rental stores don't have vhs anymore.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Funhouse was good. Hooper's third best movie, IMO.

Yeah, I really liked The Funhouse as well. The score was really good.....it fit the movie well.

[Ron]

Has it been released on dvd yet..? I can find it anymore over here, since rental stores don't have vhs anymore.

I got mine from a this dude that sells rare slashers.

[sCabbOy]

Nah, Edge is not on DVD.

I have it ripped to DVD from my VHS, that's about it.

[DarkPumpkin]

The Paperboy seems to be fairly rare. There's no DVD release, and it was a DTV release back in '94. I'm thinking I saw it on USA Up All Night. Beware, though, it's awful: So awful that I've only seen it once over ten years ago, and it still sticks with me.

Oh wow, thanks for dredging up awful memories of sitting through this film Dream. I also caught it on Up All Night, and yes, it's awfulness truly does stick with you.

[Joshg]

Well, I returned the 'Blood Rage' VHS I rented from Venus Video a few days ago.

I went back, to see if they had placed it in the "For Sale" bin.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was no longer in the "For Rent" section. No more VHS tapes...sad, but good, right? I can buy it now.

Nope. I snooped through the "For Sale" bins, and it was not there. Soooo close, but no cigar. I should have totally kept it. :D

[Lance Lives]

Yeah JoshG, it's kinda alright when stores clear out their VHS sections cause you can pick some stuff up, but I would prefer stores keeping their old videos because I get so nostalgic in stores that VHS (which are nonexistent where I live).

Has anybody seen the movie Brainscan? It had Eddy Furlong from T2 in it. It's kind of a slasher and I found it pretty disturbing actually. Damn I wish I could find my old recorded copy.

Added: Awesomeness! I just found it on Netflix (hadn't looked in a long time) and moved it top the top of my queue. I'm stoked.

[sCabbOy]

I love VHS movies and really it's been all that I have been buying lately. It sorta sucks because there are alot of DVDs I want. But, VHS as for artwork usually is far superior than DVDs. Same with Laserdiscs- I love them too!

I have so many VHS movies that just sucks because of their artwork. I collect the bog box VHS and clamshells as well. It is a great period in movies, I think. An era that will never be duplicated and that's the home video craze of the 80's.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I agree scab. I love the VHS cover art more than DVD artwork.

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, exactly what I mean. When you went into a video store back in the day and saw all the excellent cover art, you just didn't know where to start. Scabboy, where have you been picking up your VHS' at? I'd love to get a really good 80's horror VHS collection going.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Yeah, exactly what I mean. When you went into a video store back in the day and saw all the excellent cover art, you just didn't know where to start. Scabboy, where have you been picking up your VHS' at? I'd love to get a really good 80's horror VHS collection going.

You can easily find VHS tapes on Ebay......even on Amazon. They're usually really cheap there. :)

[Joshg]

Nostalgia in video stores is one of the best feelings I've ever had. Viewing the rare tapes and cover art just gave you a creepy sense. Too bad there's, like, hardly any place that has these anymore. :(

I haven't bought many VHS tapes from video stores. Mostly flee markets, but here's some that I picked up when browsing the for sale bins:

-Crawlspace
-Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
-Elm Street 5
-Halloween III
-Poltergeist II
-Hell Night
-I Spit On Your Grave
-Ghoulies II
-Psycho III
-Hatchet for the Honeymoon (both MEDIA and CHARTER versions!)
-Witchboard

[DarkPumpkin]

I couldn't believe it when I was checking out one of the Exchanges and found a copy of Hell Night for $2.50! It's also where I scored yet another copy of Madman.

Witchboard is another good choice Josh. It has that great 80's feel to it, and I still pop it in every once and a while. Oh Tawny Kitean, how far you have fallen...

[sCabbOy]

I miss flea markets but I no longer have that time.

So many hidden treasures VHS wise there!

[Ron]

I liked Hell Night a lot. The whole story and atmosphere was great.

[sCabbOy]

The first time I saw Hell Night was on TV in like... 1987 and that movie gave me the creeps. Later in about 1990 I rented it and it became one of my top 25 movies.

[Spade]

I liked Hell Night a lot. The whole story and atmosphere was great.

I completely agree with you. Hell Night is a very good movie. It's a classic. I still enjoy watching it every now and then.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

It's been a long time since i've seen it, but Dark Night of the Scarecrow was pretty good. It's SORT of a mix of a slasher and a ghost story, in a way.

[sCabbOy]

I've been trying to get my hands on Dark Night... I almost won the Laserdisc, which bummed me out to lose.

[Ron]

I've been trying to get my hands on Dark Night... I almost won the Laserdisc, which bummed me out to lose.

I had a copy of Dark Night, but it mysteriously disappeared:side:
That's why I cannot trust anyone borrowing movies, which is sad because I love exposing people to them.

[Lance Lives]

Oh hell yeah, Dark Night of the Scarecrow. That one brings back memories. I have to find that shit now.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I know it's pretty tough to find......I still don't own it yet. :( That movie was really good.

[NETRA]

So bad they're fun
Graduation Day
Pigs

Movies I want to own on DVD
Night of the Creeps
Pin
The Beast Must Die

There are also a couple old comedies that have an 80s slasher element to them . . .

Student Bodies
National Lampoon's Class Reunion

[Brett H.]

I know it's pretty tough to find......I still don't own it yet. :( That movie was really good.

It's easy to find if you're... smart. ;)

[Spade]

It's been a long time since i've seen it, but Dark Night of the Scarecrow was pretty good. It's SORT of a mix of a slasher and a ghost story, in a way.

Yeah Dark Night of the Scarecrow is another good movie.

[Joshg]

I liked Dark Night, but it's not one of my favorites. 6/10. I didn't have a lot of fun with it. But I'm still on the look-out for it.

[101ant101]

anyone name good horror movies from the late 70's to now? please

[Autobotsdie]

Halloween.

[101ant101]

lol. seen that.

[Autobotsdie]

The Graveyard.

[101ant101]

yep. you know any good 80's films part from friday the 13th and halloween and april fools day and MBV and the prowler.?

any school killer ones or normall killers can be anything

[Joshg]

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
The Burning (1981)
Blood Rage (1983)

Just to name a few. There's many more, and I'm sure the recommendations will be coming up soon.

Slaughter High and Humongous are pretty fun too.

[101ant101]

Slaughter High - i found that really boring. Sleepaway Camp (1983)
The Burning i have seen and there good. blood rage i will look in to thanks

[sCabbOy]

You should go to the rare slasher/modern slasher threads.

Same movies will be listed here.

[Joshg]

Slaughter High - i found that really boring.

Slaughter High boring. :( Sadness, but I guess I can see those areas of dullness.

[101ant101]

You should go to the rare slasher/modern slasher threads.

Same movies will be listed here.

oh ok sorry

Slaughter High boring. :( Sadness, but I guess I can see those areas of dullness.

yeah dont get me wrong the mask was nice, but the film was kinda bad 2/5 for me

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Slaughterhouse - One of my favorites. :) Some MIGHT call it a TCM rip-off.

Just Before Dawn - Good backwoods slasher

Tourist Trap - Great 70's horror film. Sort of like a mixture between The House of Wax and The Hills Have Eyes

[The Dream Master]

Indeed, I have now merged the two threads now, just to keep things tidy.

Another good suggestion before posting a thread asking for some "good horror movies" would be to go through the "general horror" forum and just check out some of the threads for films you haven't seen. :)

[101ant101]

Death Academy < i still wanna see this i was speaking to the guy on slasherpool he said it might not be ggeting releast till 2008

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Killer Party

Killer Party is great! I love it, haha. There was definitely some Exorcist/Poltergeist influence, such as the scene with the wall climbing, lol. The kills were really unique, too.

The VHS cover is great. I should search around for mine.

http://users.stargate.net/~storms/images/KillerParty.jpg

[Joshg]

I didn't like Killer Party. But the cover sure is retro! ;)

[sCabbOy]

Killer Party is a weird in the sense that you can tell it was hacked apart and it started filming in the late 70's and then resumed in the 80's. I think it's a fun film, but it's a movie that was hurt by the cut gore that we'll never see. The gore was cut so bad that it took the movie with it.

But it remains 80's cheese and a fun movie.

[Joshg]

Yeah. Usually I don't take much off from a horror film for having lack of gore, but in Killer Party, I actaully took off 20% of its mark due to the lack of gore, just because it was so irritating. I know that sounds childish, but I couldn't stand that! Hopefully an uncut version will appear soon. That would be awesome

[sCabbOy]

Yeah. Usually I don't take much off from a horror film for having lack of gore, but in Killer Party, I actaully took off 20% of its mark due to the lack of gore, just because it was so irritating. I know that sounds childish, but I couldn't stand that! Hopefully an uncut version will appear soon. That would be awesome

Pivotal scenes which were supposed to make an impact did not because the death was removed (offscreen).

[Joshg]

Yeah, I think I remember seeing some bodies, and going...whaaa? They just killed...but they....errrr!
Haha, if you can make sense out of that sentence, I salute you.


I just watched a slasher from 1977 Sunday called Axe (aka, Lisa, Lisa)...IMO....it sucked beyond belief!!! 2/10. So dull, so boring, and just plain forgettable. What a shame, it has such nice cover art.

[sCabbOy]

I have that DVD. I sorta liked it, but it was boring. Wayyy too much dead time happens in between the deaths. Much like Unhinged.

[Joshg]

I agree, in the way that it was like Unhinged. But the difference is that at least Unhinged had a worthy payoff at the end. Just when you think the film is, for the most part, goreless/bloodless...it gives you chopped up bodies in a shed! Holy S!!!

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I agree with you, scab. Killer Party is pure 80's cheese, but I still love it. This is definitely another movie that NEEDS to be released uncut.

Another great 80's cheese slasher is Killer Workout.

[Joshg]

I love Killer Workout. It sounds cheesy, and it is, but it's still a pretty good slasher fair.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Haha, I agree with you. It's definitely one of the most cheesy slashers from the 80's, but it's so enjoyable. I liked how basically all the deaths were in the gym. :lol:

[GrimReaper]

Im suprised no ones mentioned any of the Maniac Cop films

[sCabbOy]

I loved Maniac Cop, not really a huge fan of 2 or 3.

Psycho Cop is another gem... cheesy fun. It's a cabin/woods slasher that feels like a Wynorski film. Part 2 is a true Wysnorski style film... party in an apartment building with tits and ass.

[Spade]

I loved Maniac Cop, not really a huge fan of 2 or 3.

Psycho Cop is another gem... cheesy fun. It's a cabin/woods slasher that feels like a Wynorski film. Part 2 is a true Wysnorski style film... party in an apartment building with tits and ass.

I like the Maniac Cop movies and the Psycho Cop movies.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I remember Psycho Cop. That movie was cheesy as hell, haha.

Has anyone here seen The Ripper, starring Tom Savini? Man, that movie was terrible.

http://www.lifeisamovie.com/images/104179-01.jpg

http://www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/hysterialives/graphicsd/ripperpic1.jpg

[sCabbOy]

The Ripper is pretty horrible. Shot on either 16mm and then put on VHS or shot on VHS.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if it was shot on VHS.

scab, that's the Jason from your short fan film, right? I like the look you came up with. :) It looks pretty similiar to Part 5.

[sCabbOy]

Yeah, it is. It is the part V Jason... the mask was made to resemble the mask at the end in Tommy's hallucinations. Made by FOD... the undermask is a faceless/hood Part 4, and the clothes are similar to the Part 5 Jason. At one time we were talking about doing a Jason Vs Roy fan film, but I dunno... it seems stupid but we may still do a short 5-10 minute one.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Haha, I think a Jason vs. Roy short film would be pretty interesting actually.

Are you familiar with a film called Headless Eyes? I haven't seen it in a while, but it's really shitty. The opening scene is the most annoying scene ever.

kYuurbq4ZBE

MY EYES! ARGHHHH! MY EYES! He does that for about 2 minutes straight. :lol:

Have you ever seen Murderlust? I've always liked the cover. I want to track it down.

http://www.critcononline.com/images/murderlust%20vhs%20front4.jpg

[sCabbOy]

I have Headless Eyes... not really a fan of it.

I am gonna get Murderlust as well just for the cover.

[Joshg]

Yay! Another film to track down.

LOL, "My Eyes" was said over and over, from the same audio source. :P Repeats are fun! Thanks for the MaD. Hehe, it's comical.

___________
Stones of Death (1988)

Anybody have any info on this flick? Apparently, it's a one by one flick, but with supernatural things. I'm guessing Superstition-like?

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/35/113635.jpg

On the outskirts of town lies a cave - a cave filled with the remains of a mass murder. Suddenly the town's teenagers begin having dreams about the cave and the stones of death inside.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

No problem, Josh. I got a good laugh out of it,too. :lol:

I've wanted to see Junior for a long time.

http://screamatorium-dvd.com/myPictures/junior%20FULL%20SM.jpg

Plot synopsis: KC and Joe are two sexy women fresh out of prison. They are the kind who know what the want and how to get it. And no one pushes them around! All they wanted was a nice home, a little business and a couple of cute guys. Everything was going according to plan until Junior came along. Junior is a devil with a chainsaw. He also has a thing for fire, worms, rifles, knives, ropes, speedboats...and his psychotic mother. He'll do anything for his mother. Now he's after KC and Jo. Junior doesnt like it when people get him mad. He doesnt like it all.

Haha, it sounds pretty interesting.

[sCabbOy]

I love Junior, it's such a piece of crap but fun.

Goddamn, Scab, between you, OBR, and MMM, every obscure slasher/horror film known to man is accounted for.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Ah yes, The Video Dead. That movie really needs a DVD release!

I've heard of the other ones, but haven't seen them. How are they?
ADDED:
Oh wait, I think I might have seen Blood Salvage. Isn't that the one where the redneck guy kidnaps people off the highway, and does these weird experiments on them?

I want to see those other ones. I should track those down.

I need to track down The Brain. It was pretty cheesy, but it was fun....from what I remember. That's the one where this Doctor has a TV show, and is teamed up with this Alien brain. He wants to regain control of all of humanity. I remember the SFX being pretty decent, actually.

I acquired that tape not too long ago but haven't watched it yet.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Cool. I want to get Junior. I heard it's pretty shitty, but still a bit enjoyable.

Haha, Pieces is awesome. I'm looking forward to the Grindhouse Releasings DVD. I still haven't heard a release date for it yet.

[sCabbOy]

Junior is less a slasher movie, and more a backwoods schlocky revenge film in the vein of a movie like... I dunno... Trapper County War.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'd probably like it then. I like 80's revenge films, such as Savage Streets. If anyone hasn't seen that, i'd recommend it.

[sCabbOy]

It's more of a revenge in the sense that "rednecks think they own the town" and the girls are being bullied, so they fight back.

[Fowlees]

Shredder.....

[Ron]

I was surprised by the end of Pieces as far as finding out who the killer was.

[sCabbOy]

Silent Screen, a relatively new slasher with an ax wielding killer.

And a new one, Plasterhead doesn't seem to be mentioned.

[Ron]

hey scab, have you seen Plasterhead?? i thought it was awesome, and like the fact that it didn't take the whole 'self-aware' approach that many modern slashers do. Don't get me wrong, it has a few, but takes itself serious for the most part.

[Joshg]

This place seems to have a fair amount of horror films in its library, including Lunch Meat and Kill Dozer, mentioned by scab...:

http://www.stumpydisks.com/horror.html

Oh wait, no. scab mentioned "Rolling Vengeance". LOL, well, same diff, :D

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I picked up an uncut VHS of Killing Spree, which I haven't seen in a very long time. I only paid $5.99 for it.

[Joshg]

Lucky you!

I think Camp Motion Pictures released "Killing Spree" (1987) on DVD last year. Not sure, though.

[The Dream Master]

Josh, they did. Marz and I were talking about that over in the conversation thread. :)

[sCabbOy]

Killing Spree was also released well before that on DVD- I have it. It's under "I Will Dance On Your Grave... Killing Spree"- same Tim Ritter movie.

God Bless Camp for releasing a D-Cut of this. I still need to get the Camp DVD.

[Joshg]

I just recommended some slasher films for Code Red to release a second ago. The scary part is that I haven't seen any of them! :D Haha, I just looked around on the web for some slasher titles, and listed them. Aside from Scream, Ghost Dance, American Nightmare and Stage Fright (aka Nightmares) I don't know an awful lot about them. Has anyone seen these obscurities?

Ghost Dance (1980)
City of Blood (1983)
Stage Fright (1980)
Scream (1982)
Island of Blood (1982)
Straight Jacket (1982)
American Nightmare (1983)
Trick or Treats (1982)
Savage Weekend (1979)
Satan's Blade (1982)
Shadows Run Black (1984)
Twisted Nightmare (1982)

[Ron]

Death Row Diner
Surgikill
Bodycount

[sCabbOy]

Man Death Row Diner is so freaking horrible.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Yeah, Death Row Diner is pretty shitty IMO. I agree.

Although it isn't a slasher, I picked up Night of the Comet on VHS as well. It's in a Clamshell Case.

I also picked up one VHS called Mirror Mirror (1990). I've never seen it before. Have any of you guys seen it?

[Joshg]

No, seen it, but I have been told to watch Mirror Mirror multiple times. And its sequels. Doesn't interest me much.
I got Night of the Comet last May on DVD. I liked it a bunch!

So, out of the ones I listed on post 145, I'd say American Nightmare is the most well received. People who see it often say it's pretty good. Anyone agree?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

American Nightmare is pretty good. The sleaze/exploitation factor is pretty high. :) It has some pretty good stalk sequences as well. It'd be nice if Code Red released it.

Speaking of Code Red, has anyone heard anything about a release date for The Mutilator?

[Joshg]

Aside from them planning to release it this year, nope. Nothing about it. Hopefully they'll post some screenshots on their blog soon.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

http://www.screamatorium-dvd.com has 555 on DVDr. I've been wanting to get the VHS for the longest time. But i'd still love to have it on DVD format as well.

[Fowlees]

www.imdb.com/title/tt0365513/posters

[Ron]

I watched Dreamaniac last night for the first time. It was ok.

[Lance Lives]

I got Slaughterhouse and Pieces recently. My copy of Pieces doesn't even have it's beginning. The first frame just says "Forty Years Later". Sucked.

[Ron]

Aww man, that sucks about Pieces...Atleast you won't be disappointed with Slaughterhouse though.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I got Slaughterhouse and Pieces recently. My copy of Pieces doesn't even have it's beginning. The first frame just says "Forty Years Later". Sucked.

Damn man, you got one of those copies! That sucks. I was aware that some DVD's of Pieces completely ommited the beginning. The Diamond Entertainment DVD has the beginning intact...that's the one I have.

I think you'll enjoy Slaughterhouse. Let me know what you think of them, bro.

[Joshg]

Hopefully the Grindhouse release of Pieces will have that beginning intact.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm thinking they would, Josh. That's another release I haven't heard anything more of. :( I think it's supposed to be released this year...I hope.

[The Dream Master]

Fango's Chopping List has it listed under the "undated" section, so maybe it's coming this year.

[Deathscythe]

I love Junior, it's such a piece of crap but fun.
here are some more I love:
http://scabboy.net/menu/bloodsalvagevhs.jpg
Cheesy fun!

For some reason that reminds me of the Robin Williams film Flubber, been around a decade since I seen that.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm really hoping it does, Brett. The Diamond Entertainment DVD is decent. The transfer really isn't all that great, and it doesn't have ANY features. It was only $4.99, so that's good.

[Brett H.]

Or you could have got Pieces with 9 other movies for $12, like I did. :)

[simonthekillerewok]

'Don't go in the woods... alone' 10/10 on the so bad it's good rating. Despite the terrible acting, bad editing and everything else, the kills are awesome, great use of experimental music and it has a strong gritty atmosphere. Although it has similarities to the hills have eyes in terms of experimental music and the killer's screwed up appearance, I still get more enjoyment from this movie than Craven's. I want a sequel

[sCabbOy]

American Nightmare is great, I love that movie.

As for the Grindhouse release of Pieces, from what I understand it's REMASERED from original intact negatives, so hopefully it's complete.

As for more rare slashers, up until Code Red released Splatter Farm I would have listed that. The VHS release of Splatter Farm, well... that movie was so horribly edited together the credits were writing on paper and the background music would stop when there was dialog because they didn't know how to edit/layer sound while editing it. The release on DVD made the movie so much better, newly edited, new credits, rescored...

Spare Parts is another good one, it's sort of slow at times and not really a slasher... but close enough. It's about an old decrepit motel who sells it's guests to a hospital that salvages their body parts for transplants (sort of like that new movie Vacancy).

[Lance Lives]

I was thinking about getting that set Boo, is there anything else good in it?

I have a VHS called Side Show that I've never watched but it looks like it might be a slasher...anybody heard of it?

[The Dream Master]

I'm guessing Boo is talking about the set with these flicks:

- Don't Look in the Basement ( Forgotten, The ) (1973)
- Memorial Valley Massacre (1988)
- It Happened at Nightmare Inn ( Vela para el diablo, Una ) (1970)
- Demon, The (1979)
- Deep Red, The Hatchet Murders ( Profondo rosso ) (1975)
- Pieces (1983)
- Silent Night, Bloody Night (1973)
- Night of Bloody Horror (1969)
- Horror Rises from the Tomb ( Espanto surge de la tumba, El ) (1973)

Deep Red and Don't Look in the Basement are good. I wouldn't mind picking this set up, but for $9, I expect the quality to be crap.

[Joshg]

As for more rare slashers, up until Code Red released Splatter Farm I would have listed that. The VHS release of Splatter Farm, well... that movie was so horribly edited together the credits were writing on paper and the background music would stop when there was dialog because they didn't know how to edit/layer sound while editing it. The release on DVD made the movie so much better, newly edited, new credits, rescored...


LOL, silly scabboy.

Code Red, thus far, has released five films:
-Don't Go in the Woods...Alone! (fullscreen)
-Journey to the Center of the Earth (widescreen European version)
-The Forest (widescreen)
-Devil Times Five (widescreen)
-Doom Asylum (fullscreen)

I'm not really sure who, but I'd say Camp Motion Pictures released Splatter Farm. Though, I haven't researched that company, so I wouldn't know. :(

[The Dream Master]

Josh, yes, Camp released Splatter Farm on DVD.

[Joshg]

I was thinking about getting that set Boo, is there anything else good in it?

I have a VHS called Side Show that I've never watched but it looks like it might be a slasher...anybody heard of it?

That's rare! But I don't think it's a slasher. More of a crime/drama, or light thriller. It's a 1981 TV movie about a boy at the circus who witnesses a murder.

[sCabbOy]

Code Red/Camp... my mistake.

[kramerfan]

Is SpLATTER fARM A SLASHER?

[sCabbOy]

It's a slasher, sort of a so bad it's good one. It's about twins (the Polonia brothers, b movie directors) who go to their grandma's farm for the summer. The farm's handyman is a killer, and the grandma is sort of defending him.

It's silly, I mean the grandma drugs one of the kids and rapes him... and one of the guys gets fisted in the ass to death. The grandma gets dinomite up her vagina and blow to pieces. It's shot on VHS, and sort of cheap.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Most of Camp's releases technically aren't slashers. Although i'd sort of consider Killing Spree to be one...but not your typical slasher. Overall, i'd have to say Cannibal Campout is about the best movie Camp has released. That one is actually pretty good for a SOV horror movie. The FX are surprisingly good too.

[Ron]

Camp released Woodchipper Massacre also, correct? I know I'm gonna sound crazy, but I actually really liked that movie.

[Joshg]

I haven't watched much SOV films. The only one I've seen that I thought was pretty good was Houseboat Horror. I'd actually recommend it. Gory, usually nice effects, and creative. Like, horseshoe to the eyes? Whaaa?

[sCabbOy]

Well, I'd call a slasher any movie with a killer that racks up a body count. Woodchipper is on Camp, and that's really not a slasher. It's more like Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead type of movie. Cannibal Campout is also on Camp, another SOV movie... really well done, gory and is a slasher.

One of THE hardest to find slashers that are SOV that I have is Lunch Meat. It's actually pretty good, for SOV... it's not even on IMDB and it had a national VHS release.

[Ron]

hey scab, what's the basic premise of Lunch Meat??

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I picked up I'll Kill You...I'll Bury You...I'll Spit on Your Grave Too! on VHS today. I only paid $5.99 for it. It's pretty rare from what I know, so that was a good find.

[sCabbOy]

hey scab, what's the basic premise of Lunch Meat??

A cannibal family sells "Lunchmeat" to a local restaurant. On their way to the restaurant to sell it they see a group of teens, and of course, bu coincidence they follow them (they are coincidently going to the SAME woods the rednecks are from to go camping) back to the woods and kill them.

The movie is shot on VHS, and has some gore but really doesn't have a lot.

As for Ill Bury You... I have that DVD, and haven't watched it in a long time. I thin that's shot on video as well, or at least shot on 16mm and transferred to VHS like Revenge (Blood Cult 2).

Here's a custom DVD cover I made for my Lunchmeat rip (VHS to DVD)
http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lunchmeatfullyc5.jpg

[Joshg]

Well, I'd call a slasher any movie with a killer that racks up a body count. Woodchipper is on Camp, and that's really not a slasher. It's more like Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead type of movie. Cannibal Campout is also on Camp, another SOV movie... really well done, gory and is a slasher.


That's a good definition. Although, there are some movies that I consider slasher films that don't have a high bodycount. Take Dressed To Kill for instance. That has a killer, who stalks and slashes...the bodycount is really only one (although, 3, if you count dreams). But it goes with the rest of the formula, so I still think of it as a slasher.

Then there's the killers. Sometimes killers aren't so human, like, uh...well, in honor of MaD, I'll choose House By the Cemetery. It has a zombie-ish villain. Or, undead. But it uses knives, impales people, and causes much mayhem that a slasher would. Therefore, it is much less a zombie flick, more a splatter slashfest.

Again, going with Lucio Fulci, his City of the Living Dead film has a bodycount. But these are your standard zombies, that don't use anything but their hands, and travel in packs. While looking at the bodycount, and seeing when they were performed makes you think it's a slasher, watching it, and noticing the distinct fraying of zombieness changes it completely. Basically, it's not a slasher. :D

Umm, so...I'm hungry. :)

[sCabbOy]

I consider zombie movies slashers, zombie is a sub-genre of slasher. Zombies are the killer and they rack up a body count whether or not it's high or low. But, really, there's no real definition and movies are jsut movies- no real genre/sub-genre if you think about it.

[Joshg]

Zombies are bodycount films, but bodycount films aren't necessarily slashers. IMO.

[sCabbOy]

No, but if it's a body count from a KILLER it may as well be. A serial killer is considered a slasher, hence The Gainesville Sasher (Danny Rolling) and so on. Of course there are debates with this, but quite frankly it's just debatable because there's no specific definition and if there was the genre of the movie is up to the person watching.

[Ron]

I consider films like Hostel, Saw, and Cabin Fever slashers as well. They rack up bodycounts. Some people only consider a film with a masked killer to be a slasher.

[Joshg]

Cabin Fever is kinda a slasher. Saw is a slasher. Hostel...yeah, it's different.

They are all different, but not all slashers are the same thing. Just a different take.

[Joshg]

After much searching, I finally found the DVD cover art for a Code Red release.
Sole Survivor, due out this April, keeps it original in this nicely put-together DVD package. I found it at Navarre's site, so it's legit:

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/grattoja/SoleSurvivor.jpg

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'll definitely be getting that. And they REALLY need to put out The Mutilator already! Goddamn it's taking a while.

Also, for anyone that hasn't seen The New York Ripper...Blue Underground is releasing it sometime in April. I have the original DVD, but i'll probably end up picking the BU one as well.

[nottidelterrore]

Good news about The New York Ripper! I've been wanting to see it for quite some time but didn't want to drop much on the older release.

Lustig & BU come through for us again!

[Joshg]

Well, they are still looking for extras, so I feel their pain. LOL,
But just wait it out, and it'll come. A SE I hope!

There's a lot of fuss going on with NIGHTMARE and THE REDEEMER releases over at Code Red's blog and all over IMDB. The Redeemer is no longer being released by Code Red because of the crappy $1 DVD everyone has, and Nightmare...they're working on as best they can. But people are being complete idiots, trolling their blog and such. Uh!
But it and THE MUTILATOR are due out this year. They update their blog often, unlike many other sites. A shame they aren't given credit. If it's time they need to make a good release, I think they deserve it. We don't want a half-ass DVD now do we?

BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER,
NIGHTMARES IN A DAMAGED BRAIN
THE MUTILATOR
SOLE SURVIVOR
THE NESTING

...and so much more, I am anticipating so much!

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Chris - Yeah, the original DVD can get quite high in price. Much like the SN, DN DF, i've seen it go for around $50 or so! I know you're a big Fulci fan, so I think you'll enjoy The New York Ripper. It's sort of a mix of a giallo and a slasher.

I'm also looking forward Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker...as well as Nightmares in a Damaged Brain. They have a alot of good releases on the way.

[Ron]

I may watch Deathrow Diner tonight.

[sCabbOy]

I got a DVD of Nightmare that was professionally transferred, professional cover and so on. It's the Nightmare VHS version hybrid with the cut gore, extended scenes and TV scenes. I also have Nightmare Big Box VHS... so, unless the Nightmare DVD was going to be widescreen (it wasn't) with commentary and featurette I wouldn't care if it wasn't released.

As for The Redeemer, I have that on DVD both as The Redeemer and Class Reunion massacre, on VHS again both as Redeemer and CRM. So, again if the DVD from Code Red wouldn't be widescreen with extras I don't care much.

[Joshg]

Code Red's Redeemer prbably wouldn't have been widescreen. But we would have had some awesome features! Oh well, I wasn't itching to see it much anyways.

[nottidelterrore]

Chris - Yeah, the original DVD can get quite high in price. Much like the SN, DN DF, i've seen it go for around $50 or so! I know you're a big Fulci fan, so I think you'll enjoy The New York Ripper. It's sort of a mix of a giallo and a slasher.

I'm also looking forward Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker...as well as Nightmares in a Damaged Brain. They have a alot of good releases on the way.

I'm going to have to shoot Bill an email thanking him & Blue Underground for rereleasing it so that I don't have to pay $50 for a copy now. Haha.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm going to have to shoot Bill an email thanking him & Blue Underground for rereleasing it so that I don't have to pay $50 for a copy now. Haha.

:D

.......

[kramerfan]

Code Red i hope put out plenty more Slashers and Nature Run Amok Films.

[Joshg]

You know, I think I'm gonna make a thread dedicated to Code Red DVD. They are growing popular by the days. Hopefully we'll have a whole bunch of hidden gems to uncover. I know it's not a slasher flick, but I'm thinking about buying their Media Blasters "Jules Verne's The Fabulous Journey to the Center of the Earth" just because it'll be out of print soon. Like 'The Forest' is.

And the '74 kiddie slasher flick Devil Times Five. That film looks amazing...on a fromage level, ofcourse. :D

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Both Code Red and Blue Underground DVD are really popular these days. It's great to see companies like those getting recognition.

[Ron]

Yeah, those two companies are becoming like the new anchor bays.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

And then there's Shriek Show. They've released quite a few DVD's as well.

[Joshg]

Yeah, Shriek Show is fairly good. It's with Media Blasters.
I thought Guilty Pleasures would take off too, but I think the only ones they released that were worth while were "Girls Nite Out" and "One Dark Night".

[kramerfan]

I hope those companies release tons more slashers,nature run amok,and bigfoot film from 70s-80s.

[nottidelterrore]

And then there's Shriek Show. They've released quite a few DVD's as well.

I love Shriek Show/Media Blasters/Tokyo Shock/etc.etc.etc. I own a handful of their releases like the Zombi 2 25th anniversary edition, both Zombie Packs, BioZombie, Samurai Cop, etc. They also have some other neat theme-orientented box sets that feature three movies in them. Those sets run for about $15 a piece, which is great.

I have the first Zombie Pack...with Zombie 3-5. I want to get Samurai Cop. :lol:

They also released Frightmare, which is SORT of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre of the UK, lol. It's pretty good. I also have that Zombi 2 25th Anniversary Edition set as well. :)

[Joshg]

I bought the Blue Underground DVD of Zombie before I knew there was a Zombi 2 SPECIAL EDITION. :( It costed more, AND had less features. Boo!!!

I have the first Zombie pack (Zombie 3-5). Man, those sucked! LOL,

I have Grizzly, 30th Ann. Release. Love it!

I have the creepy "Don't Go in the House" slasher from 79/80.

I bought the slasher 3-pack, which had "Hitcher in the Dark" (Not a slasher!!!), "Hell High", and "The Majorettes". High and Hitcher were good, but Majorettes sucked! There's a film that should be remade. It had a good story going, but was screwed up. See directors! You remake bad movies, not good!

[nottidelterrore]

I've also seen a set with three "demon" orientented movies as well as one about vampires & another that appeared to be slashers. There's also a "post-apocalyptic" set out that I really want featuring 1990: Bronx Warriors starring Fred "The Hammer" Williamson.

Samurai Cop is a must own. It is so terrible that it is immediate gold. I love that movie & it's hilarious seeing Robert Z'Dar playing a Japanese guy. The dude is a tank in that movie.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

That sucks, Josh. I wonder why BU even bothered releasing it. Or did BU release it first, and then Shriek Show?

They released a new 3 Pack...Blood School Girls Triple Feature. It has Girls Nite Out, Blood Sisters, and One Dark Night. I have Blood Sisters on VHS. It's not that great, though. I've only watched it once a while ago, so I barely remember it.

Chris - I remember those pics you posted of Samurai Cop at the Maniac Cop Fans board. They're hilarious. :lol:

Yeah that's the set I was talking about. I almost got it today but held off. I'll eventually get them all.

And I don't know if this is allowed but this is from Samurai Cop's photo gallery:

[MaDMaNMaRz]

:lmao:

Holy shit, that's priceless! I HAVE to see that movie.

Nah, it's cool bro. You're actually allowed to post topless girls. :) But nothing real hardcore.

[The Dream Master]

I've also seen a set with three "demon" orientented movies...

Yeah, it comes with Demons 3, The Other Hell, and Black Demons. I need to pick that one up.

Also, I think these guys are releasing the Grindhouse Psychos triple feature next week. One of the flicks is "Don't Go in the House," so I'll probably pick it up.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm actually not really a fan of Don't Go In The House. Although, i'd say it's worth to watch at least once. I found it to be boring overall.....the pacing was too slow. It did have great atmosphere, though. So it has that going for it IMO.

[The Dream Master]

Hey, it's an obscure horror flick with the word "Don't" in the title...it's got to be worth a watch, right? :lol:

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Of course. :lol: It's definitely worth to watch at least once. It has its moments. But I wasn't blown away with it, personally. It does have an awesome cover, though. :) I actually like the cover more than the movie itself, lol.

[nottidelterrore]

Yeah, it comes with Demons 3, The Other Hell, and Black Demons. I need to pick that one up.

Does Demons 3 have anything to do with the previous two gems in the series? I've been hearing that it doesn't & that it's a gigantic turd but I still want to give it a watch(and still own that set regardless since I own Zombie Pack 1 with the atrocious Killing Birds).

[The Dream Master]

There are a few movies that call themselves Demons 3 (The Church is one of them), but none of them are really connected to the first two.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Chris - Yeah, Demons 3: The Ogre has nothing to do with the first 2. They just renamed it using the Demons moniker to cash in. It really is a huge turd. :lol:

[nottidelterrore]

Thanks for clearing that up. I've heard of The Church as well & have heard from a few people that it's decent.

[Ron]

Sounds similar to what they did with Troll 2.

[Joshg]

Hey, it's an obscure horror flick with the word "Don't" in the title...it's got to be worth a watch, right? :lol:

It's a character study-like slasher. Although, without knives, and inserting a blow torch! Eeek! I think the music helped me to enjoy "Don't Go in the House" a lot more than I would have without it. Very creepy disco-esque. And, even without blood and guts, it was a brutal film! I didn't think fire would help with brutality, but I was wrong!

Maniac kind of borrowed the ending form this movie. But, hey, that's alright. :)

[Ron]

I watched Pranks a few months ago and I'd have to say that i found it to be on the very bore side of the spectrum.

[Fowlees]

Pledge Night....("Brothers to the end...the very end")

[The Dream Master]

Thanks for clearing that up. I've heard of The Church as well & have heard from a few people that it's decent.

The Church is decent, and from the sounds of things, it's better than Demons 3 (which I haven't seen, but I haven't heard many good things about it).

[sCabbOy]

Pledge Night....("Brothers to the end...the very end")

One of my faves from the late 80's. Joey Beladonna (Anthrax) was in that movie for a few minutes.

[Joshg]

That sucks, Josh. I wonder why BU even bothered releasing it. Or did BU release it first, and then Shriek Show?

Sorry, I missed your question.

I actually think BU re-released Zombie 'after' Shriek Show did. Yes, I'm sure of it, as the Shriek Show was a 25th Anniversary, and the BU was *checks*

Oh my! BU was 2004! 25 years after as well. Now I'm just confused! :( Which came first, the chicken, or the rotten egg?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

LOL, Josh. I don't know now either. :p

Blue Underground released The Church. I've seen it in stores before, but I haven't picked it up yet. I haven't seen it before. But if it's better than Demons 3, than it can't be TOO bad. :lol:

[nottidelterrore]

Amazon lists both as coming out on July 27th, 2004.

[Ron]

I just watched Death Row Diner. i must admit, ii was amused. I was surprised that there was actually a scene where you see the killer sitting on the toilet taking a dump.

[kramerfan]

Thats n awful slasher.

[Ron]

Awful slashers are a guilty pleasure of mine:)

[Lance Lives]

Pieces is great! Just watched it, and even though my copy has no opening, it's still great fun. "Bastard! Bastard!! BASTARD!!!!"

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Pieces is great! Just watched it, and even though my copy has no opening, it's still great fun. "Bastard! Bastard!! BASTARD!!!!"

Haha, she said bastard one TOO many times. :lol: Glad to hear you liked it Tim.
ADDED:
Also, the scene where the kung fu guy jumps out is THE most random thing ever. :lol:

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, that kung fu scene owned. I also found it pretty damn funny when the pieced together corpse fell out at the end and the boob just happened to fall out. That's funny shit.

[Lance Lives]

I picked up a copy of Killer Workout today...it's in almost brand new shape.

[nottidelterrore]

Killer Workout is great. I got my copy from Hollywood Video a few years ago when they were clearing out VHS tapes for $1-$3 a piece.

I'm also glad that I finally got Madman on DVD. I just need to quit being a lazy ass & watch it.

[Lance Lives]

I saw a copy of Madman on DVD last week when I was on a business trip but was too strapped for cash to get it...I'm sure I'll kick myself over that eventually. I did pick up a copy of Chopping Mall though.

[Ron]

Chopping Mall pretty good...killbots and dated 80's feel. Right up my alley.

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, I love how the pizza place the girls work in in Chopping Mall inexplicably has a Slumber Party Massacre poster on the wall...

[Ron]

Really?? I never noticed that. I'll have to give it another watch soon.

[nottidelterrore]

I've been wanting to see Chopping Mall for quite some time. It's actually on my list of DVDs to buy.

[Joshg]

I just watched a film from 1988 called "Jack's Back" starring James Spader.

It follows a 'Jack the Ripper' copycat 100 years later, mimicking the dates and deaths of five prostitutes. But a detective has problems of his own when he is killed, and his brother becomes the main suspect. The brother, and the detective's female friend, are getting closer and closer to finding the killer, while he/she gets closer and closer to finding them!

It's more of a psychological thriller, but there are some slasherish scenes. Granted, most of the deaths take place off-screen (no onscreen impalements, just before-hand screams) but there was a little bit of gore. Sadly, the five deaths of the prostitutes comes up short. When we enter the film, 3 have already been commited. I found it to go by fast, but many may find it a dull experience. I liked it. Good story. I recommend a buy of this for slasher fans, just for the couple horrific deaths.

Body count:
1. Prostitute - Mutilated (Only Mentioned)
2. Prostitute - Mutilated (Only Mentioned)
3. Prostitute - Killed (Only Mentioned)
4. Prostitute - Throat slit; cut up (Offscreen; Aftershots Shown)
5. Prostitute - Abortioned!!! Throat and Stomach sliced, bloody (Offscreen; Aftermath Shown)
6. Man - Hung by a Knoose
7. Man - Stabbed (Not shown entering body)

[The Dream Master]

I remember Jack's Back. I always thought Spader looked kind of like Michael J. Fox on the VHS cover. Pretty decent flick, if I recall. Thanks for the reminder.

[Joshg]

You're Welcome.
I picked it up on VHS last fall when a video store was clearing out. I forgot I had it, so gave it a whirl.

I also bought a movie with no case called "Catch the Heat" from '87. I only got it because the label said MEDIA, but I'm sure it's just a kung-fu flick. LOL,

[The Dream Master]

Turns out Jack's Back doesn't even have a DVD release yet, so I might have to check my local music store to see if they have a copy of it on VHS lying around.

I wish I would have taken advantage of all those times my local video stores put all their VHS on clearance. I never thought I'd need them because I (wrongly) assumed everything would make it out on DVD eventually.

[Lance Lives]

I watch Slaughterhouse tonight...I agree with Madman Marz...it's really good. It is, of course, a poor man's TCM but it's still an entertaining watch.

[sCabbOy]

It's no doubt inspired by TCM, but I don't see it anything like TCM other than a big guy killing and a slaughterhouse. It's a very original concept otherwise...

It reminds me more of those 1980's redneck/city slicker revenge films (Trapper County Warr, Rolling Vengeance, Deliverance) than TCM.

[Ron]

Slaughterhouse to me seems like more of a horror/comedy.

[kramerfan]

Slaughterhouse didnt do much for me from what i saw.Maybe i need to pivk it up again.

[sCabbOy]

I just re-watched "Offerings" anyone see this? It was a DTV indie film from the 80's which was a direct Halloween ripoff (all the way down to the score). It's about a young boy who was made fun of by his friends and eventually falls into a well because of their bullying. He's saved and then is put into a mental home. He escapes one day and kills his old friends who are now all grown up.

It's really low budget and sort of... genric, but I love this film.

[Joshg]

Offerings was released on DVD a little while back. I'll have to pick it up. Thanks for the reminder.
