Bobcat Goldthwait's Misfits & Monsters

The first episode just aired of this new horror comedy anthology series on Tru TV. Goldthwait writes and directs. I really liked the first episode. Seth Green played a voice actor, whose cartoon bear character came to life and threatened him and his family. It's Roger Rabbit meets Cape Fear. It's definitely something I'm going to keep watching.

Let's talk about the classic shark movie - Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

There are many of these bad shark movies out there these days. But this is one of the earlier ones and one that I remember watching a while ago.

Pretty funny actually, especially John Barrowman's infamous take you home and eat your pussy line. In addition to those composite shots of the shark eating people, most hilarious of which is the guy on the jetski driving straight into the shark's mouth.

Bloody Murder 2 - Early-2000s slasher sequel

I watched the first one, so why not? Again, this is DTV slasher shit from a relatively bad era for slasher flicks, so you have to go in with a few reservations. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it for what it is, though. Right?

As the subtitle suggests, the movie is set when the counselors are closing the camp up for the end of summer. They're still up to their usual antics, and decide to play a game of Bloody Murder. This is a vague sequel to the previous film's events, which left off on a kind of weird ending, where our main girl's brother disappeared.

This event was said to have happened "5 years ago", even though the movie is made only 3 years later. I guess "5" years makes for a better anniversary. Even the events of Friday the 13th part 2 were set 5 years after the first, despite that movie coming out only 1 year later. Who cares though, right? It's all about people getting killed, and the stories for these kinds of movies are never that great to begin with. The killers always have stupid and/or contrived motives, so we'll move past it.

The kills are more gnarly this time around. The killer is more sadistic, but for some reason, the kills only get more generic as the film goes on. Whereas the first film had a lot of scenes with the killer during the day time (which was kinda cool, actually), this one is mostly at night, and the shitty youtube quality makes it hard to make out what's going on sometimes, but it still had it's charm. In a way... a very small and vague way... some of the scenes kind of reminded of Madman for some reason. Maybe the lighting? That's always a good thing, because Madman was a fantastic slasher flick.

Our primary villain, which we're all left to assume is Trevor Moorhouse, is a bit different this time around. He's covered all the way in a black outfit with overalls and a new mask. That's right... he doesn't even have the hockey mask like on the cover of the movie. This just tells you that the distributors sometimes don't watch the movies they distribute, and that's always a sign that you're in for a great horror movie. 🙄 So yeah, he wears a mask that looks more like Bukethead, only without the KFC bucket.

Of course, you also have Tiffany Shepis in this movie, showing her tits a lot. I feel that she could be a decent actress if given the right material, but she tends to get stuck in a lot of these lesser roles, and her talent often goes to waste, it seems.

Like the first film had a character named Jason, this one has a character named Angela. Also like the first film had a theme of technology, where it used emails/messaging, this high-tech sequel utilizes... pagers.

As far as shitty DTV horror sequels go, it's not so bad. Just about on par with the first movie, which obviously isn't saying much, but you could do a lot worse. If I can find the third film "The Graveyard", I'll watch it.

Hey, shitforbrains! You forgot the Animation Challenge results!

Yeah, that was a while ago, but for anyone who cares, here's how it went down. I, personally, didn't do nearly as good at that as I had wanted due to distractions from some medical issues, but I watched some Fat Albert for the first time in years. That show was pretty awesome. I love the one where they all beat the shit out of the retard cuz Rudy's sister claimed he raped her. She was just trying to get attention, but Fat Albert set the little ho straight. I love how he always does that without raising his voice, no matter how whack they actin'. I also watched some Herculoids for the first time in a whole lot of years. Good shit! So, congratulations to Der_Tables for racking up some serious points.

Bloody Murder - A late-90s Jason knockoff

The slasher genre was in a decline in that dreadful era known as the 90s. Everyone was burned out on horror, so the only thing left to do was rip off the stuff that worked so well nearly 20 years earlier, and that's what we have here. A total Friday the 13th rip-off in many ways, Bloody Murder features a hockey-masked killer in coveralls who stalks a camp as the counselors set it up for the summer.

Hell, there's even a character named Jason whose name is mentioned all throughout the movie. In the tradition of the first F13 movie, we have a bit of mystery surrounding the identity of the killer. Is it the local legend Trevor Moorhouse, or is it one of the counselors using him as a scapegoat?


The movie itself isn't that bad, actually. Probably a bit generic by today's standards, but I've definitely seen worse. The kills are okay, but they don't show much gore. Probably not a very big budget in this one, but the production values were pretty adequate for this type of movie.

This movie even had a goddamn doomsayer, most definitely based on Crazy Ralph, because he's a staple to this sort of genre. Gotta have a doomsayer.

It also came out in the onset of that world wide web thing called the internet, and they try to utilize emails to seem hip. Otherwise, they don't worry about keeping things isolated, because cell phones still weren't a big thing yet.

It makes you wonder just how far you can go when ripping off something. Jason wore coveralls. Jason had a hockey mask (albeit a less concealing one). Jason used all sorts of weapons. Jason was barely in the first movie. Camp wasn't even open for the children in the first movie. I'm not complaining though. I like this type of shit for some reason.

Not a high body count, but you could do worse. Look for it on youtube. There's also a sequel with a higher imdb rating that might be worth looking into.

July Challenges

We need something fun for this month, so I want to solidify these few challenges:

Camp Slashers - July 8th through July 14th (or July 21st?)

Obviously, we want to do this one while we have a Friday the 13th in the week, because it makes perfect sense. It doesn't particularly need to be set during the summer, and that should open up our options. How about 1 pt for any camp slasher, +1 pt for FTVs, and +1 point for each F13 movie watched ON Friday the 13th. Suggestions welcome.

Current Point Setup:

+1 pt per camp slasher watched
+1 pt per FTV
+1 pt per victim (killed by the killer, ie not accidentally)
+1 pt for each F13 movie watched on F13


Shark Week - July 22nd through July 28th

This is just because Discovery channel's actual shark week is set during this same time, so it makes sense. Anything with a shark ought to count. Not sure how to score this one, be it by runtime or by whether the movie has mutated sharks, points per victim, etc (like @ballz suggested). Got a couple weeks to figure that out.

Current Point Setup:

+1 point per shark movie watched
+1 point per FTV
+1 point per victim (killed BY a shark)

And as you can see, this leaves us with a week inbetween the two. We can leave it empty to relax, or if anyone has a challenge to fill the gap of July 15th-21st, let us know. Hell, maybe we can extend the camp slasher challenge to 2 weeks, if people are into it.

Let us know your thoughts.

Shot-On-Shiteo: Bad Publicity



The Holy Grail of 80's SOV directors is certainly a short one. Short but definitive, just the same. You got your Polonia twins, who stuck around far longer than anyone would have probably thought. You have Mr. Chester N. Turner, who, unless you've been living under a rock for 34 years, is known for giving us all the gift that is Black Devil Doll From Hell. And then, last but far from least, there's good 'ol Donald Farmer. Donald Farmer is responsible for such barely legit works of art as Cannibal Hookers, Demon Queen, and countless others he's churned out since this era that I have yet to explore. One, however, sticks out in my head above others. Today, I'd like to say a few words about a movie called Scream Dream. One of Farmer's first, barely missing the SOV boom, but providing for us the one thing we were always too blind to realize we needed: A Rocktober Blood for the SOV market!

Michelle Shock is on top of the world. She's in the hottest Heavy Metal band on the planet, and being the late 80's, this earns her title of 'The Queen of Rock". Michelle's fame and infamy is only inflated by recent rumors of Devil worship. Rumors which are very much confirmed to us, the audience, when some dumb shit ditches his girlfriend for the radder Michelle. Michelle sucks on his weiner in return, after the show, only to bite it off. We're not sure this is actual proof of Satanism, or that Michelle always likes to do that, but it does prove she's kind of an asshole, right?

Yes, she is. Michelle Shock is kind of an asshole. I believe said quality is ultimately what did her in. Michelle's manager, Lou Sharkey, might have been able to overlook all the bad publicity and media outrage surrounding these Satanic rumors, as well as cases of fan disappearances after shows. However Michelle has proven herself to be more trouble than she's worth. So, the queen of rock is officially gone. Luckily for Sharkey, he already has a new girl lined up as a replacement. Jamie Summers has a hell of a voice and is certainly better at being Michelle Shock than Michelle is. Not only that, but she's not an asshole, nor is she into any of that other crazy shit.

So, all is good, but the rest of the band still wanted to pay Michelle a visit to let her know there's no hard feelings, at least on their end. Michelle is then caught in her true form: That of a Demon. Ok, so, she's not actually a person. I forgot to mention that part. Michelle's former band mates are now forced to kill her, which is of course for the best, but that's not where this story ends. Later on, new singer, Jamie, shows up, looking for Michelle, in order to pick up some stage clothes she'll be needing, since Michelle won't. Well, one thing leads to another, and before we know it, Jamie is possessed by the spirit of Michelle Shock! If Sharkey thought all the Satanism, assholishness and dick-eating was over, he was mistaken. Michelle Shock was just the beginning!

It probably wouldn't be accurate to call this one of the all-time greats, but definitely one of the all-time cheesiest and most 80's shot-on-video efforts the decade had to offer. That acting had me sold from the beginning, and the Scream Dream song was every bit as catchy as it was repetitive. Real life local band, Rikk-o-Shay, gets credit for that song, as well as all of Michelle's sweet tracks. I also give the guy who played Lou Sharkey credit for making me laugh a lot with his over usage of phrases like "bite my ass, bitch" and "especially cunts on the rag". For anyone who has never seen a Donald Farmer movie, or for anyone unfamiliar with the original SOV wave, this might not be the best place in the world to start with either. However if you have experience and know exactly what you're getting into, you may have come across something remarkable. In that case, you're very welcome! 4/10
