Bad Movie Night




Since BMN is on September 11th I didn't think it appropriate to have a theme. That's what the terrorists would want.

Nightmare City is Italian and therefore has eight hundred different titles. Some of them are City of the Walking Dead, Großangriff der Zombies, Invasion by the Atomic Zombies, Invasion de los zombies atómicos, L'avion de l'apocalypse, L'invasion des zombies and Zombi 3: Efialtis stin poli. Some of those titles imply there are zombies in this movie but there are not. In fact, I thought a good theme would be Zombie Movies That Don't Really Have Zombies. Quentin Tarantino explains this in the first two minutes here:



Umberto Lenzi directed previous BMN movie Ghosthouse (think clown theme night).

Pieces would have fit in a number of catagories. College students die. That's, like, every horror movie ever. Parts: a clonus horror would have had a nice title theme thing going on. The director previously made The Pod People, which I have in MST3K form. Trumpy!, you can do stupid things:



The director would go on to make Slugs:



I forget where I was going with this. Um, in conclusion I really dropped the ball themeing Bad Movie Night this week. To compensate, next time we'll watch Hitchcock's Psycho followed by Gus Van Sant's Psycho.

  1. Thank you for the Trumpy reference, it made my day. That is probably my favorite MST3K ever, I still have it on tape at my parents house.

  2. I've never not laughed out loud, which I don't normally do (I'm Norwegian), reading Joel's misheard lyrics of the band in Pod People:

    With a pickle mine
    We kick the nipple beer
    Steady as a goat
    We're flying over trout
    Ghetto down the highway
    At the speed of light
    All I wanna feel now is the wind in my eyes
    Sack of monkies in my pocket
    My sister's ready to go

    Hear the engines roar now!
    Idiot control now!
    Hideous control now!
    Ninny on the road now!
    Minnie in control
    Wheels on fire
    Burning Rubber Tires!

    Near each other rolls now!
    He really loves me go now!
    Ninny inches bore down!
    Penny in a poor boy!
    Hear the engines roll!
    Peas on pie!
    Burning Rubber Tires!
