Vampyros Lesbos
Todd thinks it’s exploitation fare striving for something a little greater. Craig thinks it’s just porn. You be the judge as you listen to this week’s discussion of one of the most notorious lesbian vampire flicks of all time.

The Funhouse
As Craig says about his childhood carnival experience: “They just look run down and they’re just held together with spit and shoe polish… it’s like a miracle that I’m not dead.” Well, quite a few people end up dead in this movie, but not from the rides. Check it out and let US know what you think!
The Initiation
While we admire Daphne Zuniga’s performance and it’s easy to root for her as a “scream queen,” the film’s plot development and pacing leave a bit to be desired, especially compared to other slashers of the era.
Brain Dead
We do our best to decode and parse out this low-budget Lynch-ian flick, directed by Adam Simon, the soon-to-be director of rental store shelf staple, Carnosaur. Check it out!
Brain Damage
And this one did not disappoint. Come listen to us gush over the trippy, Lynchian and utterly fascinating “Brain Dead” from 1988 – and wonder aloud why we hadn’t heard much about this independent horror flick before! Help us rescue it from obscurity. Enjoy!
Stage Fright
As we’ve already reviewed a couple of his films and told stories of his notorious dismissal of the horror genre of which he was so entwined, we decided to pick the most interesting of the remaining films for this week’s episode. Stage Fright is certainly an oddity of its time. Billed as a stylish 80’s thriller, we found it a bit of a pedestrian bore. Nevertheless, Ravice’s performance stands out, and we’re honored to pay tribute to his career and notoriety here today. Enjoy!
