One Day To Halloween Movie Night

Raiders of the Living Dead is so obscure there are only two interesting things about it. It stars Scott Schwartz, the boy that receives Richard Pryor as a gift in The Toy (yikes). He went on to a porn career in movies like Scotty's X-Rated Adventure and Cafe Flesh 2 before coming out the other end (don't) in the BMN movie Alien 3000. 

The other thing is it's the last movie to star Zita Johann, who's most known from 1932's The Mummy with Boris Karloff. She was briefly married to John Houseman who died on... October 31st, 1988! Horror movies in theaters on that date would be Night of the Demons, Pumpkinhead and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Wait a month later and you could've gone and seen The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, the last movie to feature... John Houseman! That was more than two interesting things.

I said in the invite that this was the only notable movie from the director of Scary Movie. That may be a lie. The only other movie he did was a movie starring only mannequins that looks fascinating:

Here's what happened last week:

One Week To Halloween Movie Night

One week later and we're two weeks closer to Halloween. That's how time works now. The theme I played with is foreign movies. Cemetery of Terror is a rare subtitled movie (for BMN) from Mexico but filmed in Texas. Nightmare is Italian but filmed in Florida. I hope those two states turn red soon, with blood!

Cemetery of Terror isn't that foreign. It has Hugo Stiglitz from Nightmare City.  The director made Don't Panic. If that helps, great that I held your hand over to Xenophobia.

IMDB says Nightmare is also known as Nightmare in a Damaged Brain, a rather presumptuous assertion that Nightmare is known in the first place. Take that Blood Splash! That's another alternate title.

Here's what happened last week:

Three Weeks To Halloween Movie Night

 

Lady In White is the return of Frank LaLoggia, director of Fear No Evil from September 1, 2018. His only other movie is some TV movie with Diane Ladd and Olympia Dukakis AFTER their Academy Award wins/nominations. It looks... interesting.

Who says there are no roles for older women? Crazy mother and scary cougar. There are two.

The director of Blood Massacre is Don Dohler, who you remember from The Alien Factor 

and Nightbeast (fake clip)

Blood Massacre is on the same boxset as Las Vegas Bloodbath, the best Las Vegas-based movie pre-Neil Breen. Yes, we watched it on a "Punishment Bad Movie Night" which was always the week after no one showed up to BMN and the movies were especially bad. You thought Wizard of Gore was bad? The movie shown with Las Vegas Bloodbath was Ogroff.

People always showed up for those nights. You guys are awesome!

Here's what happened last week:

Last Week Again Movie Night

 

We're repeating last week but with different movies. To see if we can improve upon it. Impossible you say!

Well this is somehow our first Herschell Gordon Lewis movie, known as the "Godfather of Gore". Not George Romero, Sam Raimi or Gore Vidal. I say somehow but the only movie I've seen of his is Monster a Go-Go and only in Mystery Science 3000 form. That's easily the worst movie they ever watched, Manos: The Hands of Fate be damned. His exaltedness must be unearned. Prove me wrong Wizard of Gore, prove me wrong.

Pumpkinhead stars Mushroom the dog observing people dying from a monster named Pumpkinhead. Pumpkinhead's head, I guess, kinda looks like a pumpkin. The dying people are teenagers and therefore must die, as was required in the 80s. You can check doesthedogdie.com to see if Mushroom makes it but I'll give you one spoiler from that website. Under the question "Does someone fart or spit?" the answer is yes.
