I remember being around 11yrs old (circa '84) where I first started watching Friday the 13th parts I thru IV. Before seeing the films I was always fascinated by the ads in the newspaper and on TV. Ahh, the good old days.
Most share some great insight into production and funny onset stories. Plus (make-up fx artist) Tom Savini hosts the doc to boot.
They even interview the chubby girl from part IV that gets stabbed from the back while eating a banana. Also, great interviews from the people that played Jason too.
This is worth checking out if you're a Camp Crystal Lake fan.Labels: friday the 13th, horror, nude, slasher, sleaze
Okay, now we got the 3-D version coming out...which I personally can't wait for...it's time to look into the original.
I remember watching this film as a kid and I loved it. Now its out on DVD with all the gore, finally! I know what I'm watching every valentine's day. Harry Warden, you are a slasher god and that was true even before the 2009 3-D version. Thanks for the gory memories.Labels: blood, cult, exploitation, friday the 13th, slasher
This is my 3rd favorite gore film next to the original Evil Dead and Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. It is nastier than these titles on the level that the blood flows in a non joking manner. It is just down right sick.
The camera doesn't cut away in the gore. The gore scenes were said to be shot by Tom (Dawn of the Dead) Savini. But from my understanding he had nothing to do with this flick. That doesn't matter as these scenes are fan-friggin-tastic on the blood level...WOW!!!Labels: chainsaw, disturbed, exploitation, scum, slasher, sleaze
Friday The 13th knockoff, but instead of Jason Voorhees you get Madman Marz! And don't say the name Madman Marz out loud in the woods near a lake unless you want him to get pissed off and chop off your head with an axe.
The main chick, Gaylen Ross, is also from Dawn of The Dead. So, between the 2 flicks ya got yourself a sweet Gaylen Ross double feature!Labels: friday the 13th, jason, slasher
A young female has nightmares of violent murders and before you know it she finds her boyfriend dead. No, I'm not talkin' about Nightmare on Elm Street - this flick came out 2 years before. I'll call it the original dream slasher.
At one point, an unaware girlfriend kisses her boyfriend's head just after it was decapitated. Now that's messed up.
Allow me to quote the trailer: "If its only a nightmare...why is everybody DEAD?!"Labels: blood, disturbed, dream, freddy krueger, horror, nightmare on elm street, slasher
Motel Hell taught me at an early age never to eat at a restaurant/ meathouse that 's located next to the motel your staying at. Why? Cause that burger your eating is made from motel guests. I think I got a pube caught between my teeth eating near a motel one time. I'll save that story for a later post though.
All bullshit aside, I really love the chainsaw duel towards the end. Just thinkin' about it makes me tingly in the lower groin area because I'm a freak. Wolfman Jack is thrown in as the kooky town preacher. I guess that's a redundant statement since kooky and preacher go hand in hand. Anyway, Praise the Lord!
This trailer has a great voice over that makes me think Eli Roth used this as a reference for his Thanksgiving trailer...Labels: blood, chainsaw, garden, horror, leatherface, pig, slasher, wolfgang jack
Typical slasher plot: A young boy is exposed to a photo of a naked woman, goes bezerk and chops up his mother up with an axe. Flash forward, he is now an adult doing it all over again. Goddamnit, if that ain't the best formula for a flick I don't know what is!Labels: bad dialogue, chainsaw, children, disco, disturbed, pot, sex, slasher
Three babies are born at the wrong time of the year making them killers by the age of 10! Another cheesy slasher flick that deserves some attention. Total body count in this lil gem is 8. Which is a bit low for my extreme taste but it still makes for some late night fun.
