I don’t think he’s gonna stop!

Stop making these videos, that is, until he sells the massive stock of Outpost Doom DVDs that we’ve got. You can contribute to shutting this guy up by ordering a copy.

More movies added to the Splattercast Snippets Archive, including At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, Cannibal Holocaust, and the famous Friday 13th debate.

Any suggestions for more movies you want snipped out?

Flashback Weekend is only a couple weeks away and Dead Lantern will have a big presence. Deejay, Steve, T.J., Jackie, Ali, and Myself will all be in attendance. I’ve also heard that Chris from Blackfoot Lounge will also be roaming around. More than likely we’ll be recording a Splattercast either from the event itself, or late at night while we are partying in our Yogi Bear lakeside cabin.

The cool thing is that we will have a vendor booth set up and there are going to be lots and lots of Outpost Doom DVD’s to get your hands on as well as Outpost Doom and Dead Lantern tee shirts. I’m also looking into making up a bunch of cd’s of Splattercast “greatest hits” episodes (open to suggestions for this). And of course, we’ll be filming everything so eventually we’ll have video posted of our shenanigans. It’s going to be a super swell time (as long as the rain gods don’t hate on us).

Things non-Dead Lantern related that I am looking forward to:  Movie screenings (Dolls, The Undertaker & His Pals, Pieces, My Name is Bruce, Evil Dead Trilogy), asking Charles Band for my money back, acting stupid in front of Bruce Campbell, being stalked by a killer by the lake, and eating corndogs.

Also, don’t miss when I blow up Bryan from Drunken Zombie’s car and punch him in the face repeatedly. I’m making a good action movie.

So come out to Flashback Weekend! It’s going to be a great time.

Didn’t we premiere this piece of junk at the Drunken Zombie Film Festival last year? And now, almost another full year later, we’ve finally gotten off our asses to finish it and put it out on dvd?

Well, I think it’s here, at least. This is what Deejay told me in his e-mail:

Spooky said the film print is in and it looks great!

Now, unless Deejay ordered a 35mm print of Outpost Doom that I’m not aware of, I translate his gibberish into “The DVD’s are real and they’re spectacular!”

I haven’t seen the discs yet, but if they are indeed here, that means you’ll be seeing a page allowing you to purchase the film very, very soon.

Drink the Barn Harder….soon….

We had a bunch of fun this past Wednesday using the Netflix Movie Party function on XBOX watching The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror. This time, we’re going to sexy it up a bit with an all-time classic fim: Aliens (1986) d. King of the World.

We’re going to be watching this Monday night as soon as the Splattercast is finished (anywhere between 10:30 and 11 pm Central Time). Join us in a  cry when Hudson dies. Listen to us make fun of Newt. Laugh as Ronin tries and fails to pronounce Lance Henriksen’s name! It’s going to be a fun time all around. Hopefully we can get some peeps on at that late of an hour, but if you can’t stay for the entire show, no problem! Just pop on for a bit to get a taste.

We’re trying to figure out a way to record these sessions. If you know of any easy way, let us know.

p.s. Sorry, Explodey Jo, this is what we fought and won the Revolution for. Cool shit like this.

We had an Xbox Netflix Movie Party tonight. The film we decided to watch was The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror. It was a pretty fun time. We’ve done this a couple times in the past and one thing I notice is that it becomes really difficult to follow the plot when you are laughing and cracking jokes every other second.

From what we could gather, the plot of this movie revolves around a bunch of gay and lesbian couples who end up at a retreat run by a couple conservative Republicans who “hate THE GAYS”. They lure them to their retreat and systematically murder them with the help of a half man, half worm by the name of Manfred. The hideous looking mother who runs the bed and breakfast has a daughter who went lesbian with a nun and is trying to find the perfect gay dude to turn straight in order to cure her daughter of THE GAY. The mother even has a creepy shrine, complete with dozens of burning candles, to Bush, Cheney, Reagan, and Jesus. Slowly, and I mean slowly, the various characters are knocked off until the film ends with a hetero twist.

The movie is absolutely absurd and plays like a high school homage to John Waters. All the gay characters are exaggerated stereotypes as are the conservative bible thumper’s whose mission it is to murder them all. There’s a big infatuation with flowers in this movie that we didn’t quite catch why. It seems every frame has some sort of flower in it, whether it be the clothing, bed covers, wallpaper, etc. There is only one attractive woman in the entire flick (Shannon Lee) and much to everyone’s disappointment, she’s just a tease. The ladies get a lot of man ass and some brief glimpses of dong. There isn’t a whole lot of gore, but the film does have some interesting shots and occasionally shows off some competent filmmaking.

By no means is this movie good and it portrays gays and lesbians in a pretty poor light but it was pretty funny to watch with a group. I consider this Movie Party a success (even though there were numerous connection issues with Xbox that were a bit annoying). Hopefully we can make this a weekly thing. I’ve been banned from selecting the movies for a while, and Ronin has recommended James Cameron’s Aliens for our next viewing. I can get behind that. It’ll be interesting to watch a good movie with a big group. I predict we’ll just act out the entire movie alongside the rest of the actors. Dibs on Hudson.
