Well that has to be one of my favorite taglines.

Twins Movie Night

In today's fast-paced world of hyperovulation, twins have become common place. Long has been the time they were seen as freaks more fit for the carnival or laboratory. Buying a ticket to see these movies was akin to paying a nickel to gawk at the Dog-Faced Boy. This has been Misremembering History.  

Twin Dragon Encounter is not to be confused with Twin Dragon, a Jackie Chan movie that includes twins and martial arts and came out 5 years later.



While we're at it, don't confuse it with the martial arts/twins movie Double Impact either.



You get confused a lot. Are you okay? To help you, Twin Dragon Encounter is the one movie with real twins. They're from Canada. With this movie and after The Brain last week all you'll ever want to watch is Canadian movies.



Freaks isn't about twins. The focus is more on little people, "pinheads" and the limbless. But it does feature conjoined twins Violet and Daisy Hilton. They went on to star in their own movie, Chained for Life.



But we're going to watch Freaks instead since it's become such a cult movie. Not only did the Ramones adopt Gabba Gabba Hey (really "We accept you, one of us! Gooble Gobble" in the movie) but used the Pinhead in some of their designs.




Look out for the little person named Angeleno. He would go on to play half (?) of Master Blaster from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.



Of BMN movies, only Freaks and Halloween have been put on the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Some day White Fire, some day.

Ed Hunt Movie Night

I have both of these movies on VHS. In fact, Ed Hunt's movies seem to be neglected of late. The only ones on DVD are the BMN movie Blood Birthday



and Flying Saucers are Real, which actually has a 2-disc special edition. He's poised to be rediscovered, however, like I Am Cuba



or the Esperanto movie Incubus.



In any event, maybe the VHS tape will break, maybe it won't. It will be like live theater!

The Brain joins Brain Damage, Fiend without a Face, The Brain that Wouldn't Die, Donovan's Brain, Brain of Blood, The Brain from Planet Arous, They Saved Hitler's Brain, Evil Brain from Outer Space, The Brain (1962) and Mindkiller as another scary brain movie. I've worked with a lot of organs and, honestly, brains were second only to maybe placentas as the grossest organ so the movies make sense. But where is They Saved Joan Crawford's Placenta?

David Gale is in The Brain, who we last saw carrying around his head in Re-Animator.



All I have to say about Alien Warrior is if you asked me what upcoming movies I'm really excited about I would say Twin Dragon Encounter, Ax 'Em and Alien Warrior.

Looks like they saved money on poster design.

Friday the 13th Movie Night

By my count four previous Bad Movie Nights have fallen on Friday the 13th but we've never taken advantage. Maybe because it was only a few years ago when I started watching the movies and only on a Friday the 13th. In fact, last Friday the 13th I watched Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan so I've yet to see 9 and 10. Thankfully this is only the first of three Friday the 13ths in 2012.

Friday the 13th Part 2 was released a year after the original but takes place 5 years later. Therefore Part 2 is 1981’s idea of a 1985 future world. Which boils down to a skinny dipping craze prediction that never really happened. This movie was directed by the guy who made BMN's House:



Not to be confused with Hausu, a movie that I can't choose just one still from:





The guy who plays Jason looks like this on his IMDB page:


Jason is on the right.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is from Joesph Zito, who made the BMN-recent Invasion U.S.A. with Chuck Norris. He's one to watch out for I would be saying if it was 1985. Both these movies are rated X according to IMDB. I always wanted to have Rated X Night but I was thinking more like Pink Flamingos and/or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Killer Breasts Movie Night

We've had Killer Vagina Night and Killer Penis Night so why not Killer Breasts Night. I don't know if there's a movie where people are killed by butts but I would be interested. There, that intro should increase page views. Penis Movie Night is my second most viewed post ever, after "Bonus Bad Taxidermy" for some reason.

I'm stretching the definition of killer to include Hercules in the theme. I mean, Lou Ferrigno does have an impressive chest, which is on display in nearly every scene.



If that doesn't bronze your tan we have the me-proclaimed 80's queen of softcore, Sybil Danning (Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf). All this is the fault of the guy who made Starcrash, Luigi Cozzi.

Deadly Weapons stars Chesty Morgan, whose real name is the sexier Ilana Wilczkowsky. There's a good update on her here. She's doing fine but she's been surrounded by a lot of misfortune. The movie also stars Deep Throat's Harry Reems. Most importantly, incredibly, this is our first Doris Wishman movie!
