Monday May 08, 2023
This week, we revisit the work of Stephen Sayadian (Rinse Dream ala Cafe Flesh). This pseudo-sequel to 1920's Cabinet of Dr. Caligari focuses on the famous doctor's granddaughter. She's running an asylum of her own, addressing such psychological maladies as nymphomania and cannibalism. Her treatment involves switching brains and personalities amongst her patients. It all takes place in a surreal, German expressionist wasteland. "Chinchilla Chinchilla Chinchilla!"

Sunday Apr 30, 2023
This week, join us in discussing one of Charles Band's earliest films - Mansion of the Doomed! Like a grindhouse makeover of Eyes Without a Face, this film follows the exploits of a mad doctor obsessed with restoring the eyesight of his blind daughter. Unfortunately, surgery after surgery proves unsuccessful and the eye-less prisoners start building up in the basement. Featuring Video Store Nightmares alumni such as Gloria Graham and Vic Tayback, as well as a young Lance Henriksen!

Episode 81: Gore Whore (1994)
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
Thursday Apr 20, 2023
This week, join us in watching a private investigator ("Chase") on the tail of a missing lab assistant (read: prostitute) responsible for stealing a resurrection formula suspiciously similar in look and property to that in Re-Animator. This shot-on-video end to director Hugh Gallagher's "Gore Trilogy" is sleazy and silly in equal measure. On this episode: floating black dildos (isn't that enough?).

Episode 80: School of Death (1975)
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
Wednesday Apr 12, 2023
This week, we visit an obscure 1975 Spanish production, about an orphanage/boarding school secretly lobotomizing teenage girls to send to wealthy men as sex slaves. It sounds sleazy as Hell! Despite its relative tameness, it's still worth it to watch Leonore try to escape the clutches of the evil Dr. Krueger.

It all starts when she overhears her mother plotting to murder her father. In response, young Susan unleashes her tarantulas and there's no going back. On this episode: lessons on tarantula anatomy, the problem with incestuous uncles, death from fright, tarantula endangerment, character inconsistencies, bullying, and standards of tarantula burial.

To complicate matters, these roaches mutate into the things they've eaten!

Episode 77: Slugs - the Movie (1988)
Saturday Mar 11, 2023
Saturday Mar 11, 2023
This week, we watched one of the most beloved book-to-film adaptations of the 80s: 1988's Slugs - the Movie. Toxic waste has mutated the local slug population. They are now carnivorous - with teeth - and hungry for human flesh! It's up to the town's health inspector and a goofy scientist to save the day. On this episode: fishing on a date, vehicular carelessness, bad dog owners, slime trails, the costs of pre-marital sex, reckless sewer explosions, and eyes exploding with worms!

Episode 76: The Age of Insects (1990)
Friday Mar 03, 2023
Friday Mar 03, 2023
Greetings little mantis-eggs! This week, we watched Eric Marciano's 1990 obscurity - The Age of Insects. A mad scientist takes unsuspecting young men and - using questionable methods - changes their personalities to those of harmless grubs. One such pupa is trapped between his wimp father, his domineering mother, and the mad doctor Benedict. You've definitely never seen one quite like this before, and it's probably the only film we've covered that was exhibited by New York's Museum of Modern Art. On this episode: a fight with a vacuum cleaner, a lot of insect stock footage, oil massages, insect monologues, the virtues of becoming a drone, queen worship, suspicious parents, questions of paternity, and the future of Beverly's Hose and Lingerie!
