Movies I Watched This Weekend

[kybearfuzz]

While I was putting the last comic issue together, I dug into my DVD collection to find some seriously questionable movies to watch while coloring pages and adding dialogue. Proof I watch some seriously bad flicks. Here is a list of last weekend's flicks:

• "The Faculty" (1998): Aliens possess the teachers at a typical high school. A group of misfit students figure it out and must save the town before the infection spreads. I loved Jon Stewart as the science teacher.



• "Castle Freak" (1995): Jeffrey Combs of "Reanimator" fame inherits an Italian castle with a deformed freak living in the dungeon. The freak gets out and evil ensues. I was surprised by the full frontal on the monster, but it was nothing to brag about on bathroom walls.



• "Wendigo" (2001): It's billed as a monster movie, but honestly it was pretty dull.



• "Conjurer" (2008): There's a witch's ghost living in an abandoned shack on the young couple's new property. John Schneider plays the young wife's older brother. I'm betting he needed money to buy his kid a car or was doing a favor for someone. The overall movie was ... meh.



• "Venom" (1981): Now this was interesting. A group of British servants plan to kidnap an wealthy American's child, but it backfires when the child accidentally brings home a black mamba from an exotic pet shop instead of the harmless snake he ordered. The snake gets loose as the kidnapping occurs and deaths start happening. Despite a kooky premise, the movie was actually pretty good. It stars Klaus Kinski and a hot mustachioed Oliver Reed.



• The Black Waters of Echo Pond" (2009): Robert Patrick and Danielle Harris star in a horror flick about a group of horny twenty-somethings on an island, they find a cursed board game, they start killing each other. Again.. meh.



• "Satan's School for Girls" (1973): Pre-Charlie's Angels Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd (then Cheryl Stopplemoor) star in a horror flick where a young lady goes undercover as a student to figure out why here sister left the school and committed suicide. It turns out there's something evil happening at the school... and it wasn't in the cafeteria. It certainly fulfilled my love of hokey 70's horror.



• "Silent Night, Bloody Night" (1972): REALLY cheap horror movie about a house for sale that was a loony bin. It stars a very young Mary Woronov, who became a fairly popular B-movie actress.



• "Tourist Trap" (1979): A group of horny teens get derailed on a road trip and find themselves in an abandoned tourist trap full of animatronic exhibits and a killer. Chuck Conners ("The Rifleman") and a pre-famous Tanya Roberts star. It's fairly lame, but is so bad I liked it.



• "Dracula" (1979): I've had this DVD for a while. Frank Langella stars as the Count. I admit he was quite the hottie at the time, such a smooth voice. I can see why the ladies swooned and got bit. I remember watching on TV when I was about 10 and it was creepy, especially when Dracula would climb up or down a wall. Donald Pleasence and Sir Lawrence Olivier star. Probably the best movie of the set.

You did skip ahead in most of these movies, right? :)

LOL... I don't, but when working on my comic book, I tend not to pay strict attention to them. I can't watch cartoons when I do the comic book stuff because they distract me too much.

LOL I remember Satan's School for Girls, Silent Night, and Dracula. I thought that the '79 Dracula was pretty good. Did you ever see "Street Trash"? That was a fav"B" film from the 80's that I remember seeing in college.

LOL.. I have to look up "Street Trash." Sounds like something fun.

It looks as if the entire film is on youtube. lol

It has some of my favorite lines--there's a character who has run-ins with a mafia guy and has lines like:
"When I said your girlfriend stank, I meant she stank of beauty"
"He thinks he's in the Mafia cuz he wears white shoes"
"Yeah, he's a Don alright, the Don of Douchebags"


Looking at the images on Google, I recall thinking that the character Bronson, was a hottie. LOL

Is this him? If so, WOOF!

[mort-83.livejournal.com]

Yes!! I saw that same pic and I immediately recalled that he got me all bothered when I saw the film. Lol

I vaguely recall seeing The Faculty. You do like your bloody violent movies, how do you sleep at night?

Like a baby... :)

The only one of those I have seen is THE FACULTY.

Loved it!

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed it a lot. There was a lot of big stars in that movie actually.

The thing that really sticks in my mind about The Faculty is the final shot of the monster. It's folded in a way that it forms a cock and balls.

LOL... now I'll have to check that scene again!

Your love of bad movies is well known to at least some of us. I did love "The Faculty" though.

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

I should have forced you to watch some of them when you were last here. :)

Satan's School for Girls? Really? I confess I rarely watched this kind of stuff. I was a Merchant Ivory kid. Boring, I know.
