I've watched a lot of television over the years. When I was a kid, my summer schedule was just as likely to revolve around Gilligan's Island reruns as it was whatever the latest Saturday morning cartoon hit happened to be. F-Troop, The X-Files, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Cheers, The Simpsons, The Munsters, Get Smart, … Continue reading Stay Tuned (1992)
I really have to hand it to the artist, that movie poster is so much better than the actual film. I mean, I think I can finger a detail or two in there which isn't in the film itself, but with so much going on, I bet you can put your thumb on it too. … Continue reading Demonoid (1981)
Italian horror movies from the 1980s were often a clusterfuck of what-the-fuck plot points and nightmare-inducing hallucinations. The Church is a perfect example; it's not gory the way many of its contemporaries are, but it's freaking bizarre. Scenes feel out of place, connections in time are tenuous, and good luck figuring out what is real … Continue reading The Church (1989)

He's also addicted to a game made with what was at the time Macromedia Flash that involves a kid helping torture, maim, … Continue reading Satan’s Little Helper (2004)
Who doesn't love a good nunsploitation film? God knows I do. Satánico pandemonium centers on poor Sister Maria, who has been targeted by Satan to destroy her convent and lead her fellow nuns to Hell, through a combination of murder and sexuality. There's racism too, but funny enough that wasn't caused by Satan. These nuns … Continue reading Satánico pandemonium (1975)
Such a cool movie poster. Such a terrible movie. According to this Roger Corman film, the secret to time travel is through hypnosis and Satanism. Basically a psychic discovers that through hypnosis, he can send a soul back in time to previous lives. Unfortunately when he does this to a prostitute, she gets stuck and … Continue reading The Undead (1957)
