			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-3939 alignleft" title="decampitated" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/decampitated-206x300.jpg" alt="decampitated" width="206" height="300" /> I think Troma has every awful movie they&#8217;ve ever forced upon a world that never wanted them in the first place on Netflix instant streaming. &#8220;Sunday Slashers&#8221; is going to be a new sub-segment of Running Commentary Reviews which will focus on&#8230;drumroll&#8230;slashers! Duh. So come with me as we journey through the low budget world of Decampitated:</p>
<p><em>Seven pampered teenagers hit the road for a weekend of camping, but a car accident leaves them stranded in the haunted Decamp Woods. And things go from bad to gruesome when a psycho killer begins slaying the friends one by one. Serving up plenty of blood and guts with a side of laughs, this slapstick slasher spoof stars <a href="http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Mike_Hart/30060388">Mike Hart</a>, <a href="http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Jonathon_Scott/30060389">Jonathon Scott</a>, <a href="http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Thomas_Martwick/30060391">Thomas Martwick</a>, <a href="http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Christine_Paterson/30110373">Christine Paterson</a> and <a href="http://www.netflix.com/RoleDisplay/Bethany_La_Voo/30110374">Bethany La Voo</a>. -Netflix synopsis</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">18 seconds in:</span> A Tromette named Ataria (or something) is pimping the &#8220;digitally remastered director&#8217;s cut&#8221; while licking and fondling herself. She also claims the film was shot with the same camera that created <em>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</em>. Goodie.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">2 min:</span> This is going to be the greatest thing I&#8217;ve ever seen. Already: loud rock soundrack. Dude skipping through a forest shooting screaming backpackers. Girl gets leg caught in bear trap, pulls out a machete, and hacks her leg off. Then gets her hand caught and lops that off as well, all while screaming &#8220;Are you serious?!&#8221; Glorious.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">9 min:</span> Is that Jeff reading a Punisher comic?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">20 min:</span> Vince the Stereotypical Black Character wanders off by himself to find help. The Skipping Slasher purposely steps in his own trap and now hangs upside down from a rope on a tree. Just got out his Swiss Army Knife scissors&#8230;Vince continues to run&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">28 min:</span> stirring drinks with a vibrator. A novel idea.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">30 min:</span> Disgustingly creepy transvestite just put his cigarette out in his drink, pulled out an ice cube, licked it seductively, rubbed it all over his Sasquatch chest, stuck it in his mouth, sucked on it, spit it back out into his drink and made the googly eyes at Vince. Run, Vince, run! Cue the fire wipe transition!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">43 min:</span> Slasher attack! The killer is dressed as a hunter and he&#8217;s got some sort of beekeeper&#8217;s  mask on. After failing to kill a character by slicing his throat (they then duct taped him, thus making him all better) he attempts again by lopping off the arm of a girl. She then proceeds to beat him with her own severed arm and runs away. If you&#8217;re keeping track at a home, we&#8217;re now 45 minutes into the movie and there have been no kills (aside from the intro) and an attempted sex scene with no nudity. Not even the Tromette at the beginning showed nipple. This movie can go screw itself.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">47 min:</span> Hunter shoves a beer tap into a dudes stomach and then &#8220;fishes&#8221; for a chick who is running away. He&#8217;s got the strongest fishing line ever as he hooks the chick by her mouth and reels her in. Oh, and fugly transvestite is still playing around with Vince. Take notice slasher fans: yet another slasher where the black guy doesn&#8217;t die first.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">65 min:</span> If I don&#8217;t make it to the end of the film, it&#8217;s because I slit my own throat. Purposely.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">70 min:</span> &#8220;I can snap your neck like the hip of an 85 year old nun.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">75 min:</span> The first of our 7 characters dies via decapitation. You read that right. It takes 75 minutes for any of these people to be killed. Travel agent is the killer. Yeah, I just spoiled this garbage for you.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">87 min:</span> Transvestite kills our slasher with a six shooter. Wants to &#8220;ride&#8221; our lone survivor, Vince the Stereotypical Black Character. The end.</p>
<p>This movie is painful to watch. It&#8217;s a Troma film done by people who are trying to ape Troma&#8217;s style, and doing it poorly. On the brightside, if you watch this film and end up liking it, you&#8217;ll know you are a douchebag.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/revengedeadgirls.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1051 alignleft" style="float: left;" title="revengedeadgirls" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/revengedeadgirls.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="286" /></a> I can&#8217;t stop! I&#8217;m back with another RCR, this time of a minor French cult classic called <em>Revenge of the Living Dead Girls</em>. Here&#8217;s the synopsis:</p>
<p><em>A gore fest from France, this chiller combines horror, sex and environmental disaster. Deadly waste contaminates the milk supply in a small town, and the tainted milk kills three teenage girls who drink it. When more chemical waste accidentally falls on their graves, the girls&#8217; corpses rise from the dead. Now, the zombie sexpots are determined to destroy those responsible for the corrupted milk &#8212; along with anyone who gets in the way.</em></p>
<p>Sounds great! And off we go!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">3 min:</span> Flick starts off with a blonde hitchhiker who sprained her knee getting picked up by a truck driver who then takes her to what looks like a wizard&#8217;s castle. He then fondles her knee to &#8220;make the pain go away&#8221;. Now some motorcycle dude is pouring orange juice inside the truck container&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5 min:</span> Hello titties! Ugly French girl is sitting at the kitchen table wearing practically nothing and talking to what looks like her ugly mom. Oops. she just drank some milk and died. Just like that, we cut to her funeral.  Weird&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">10min:</span> &#8220;Those people are DEAD! What the F*ck is danger to you, HIROSHIMA?!!!!&#8221; classy, France. Classy.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">18min:</span> Full frontal nudity alert! WHOA WHOA WHOA! Attention Sleepy Cast: what the hell is the Cambodian Wheelbarrow?! There is a frame going on where these two women are going to film this businessman in a compromising situation. He&#8217;s just been knocked out with a sleeping pill and the older woman told the hooker to do &#8220;everything you know to do with a man&#8221; to which the hooker incredulously replies &#8220;Even the Cambodian Wheelbarrow&#8221;? I must know what this is. Hopefully the movie will explain&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">24min:</span> Zombie Alert! These re-animated girls definitely don&#8217;t look like &#8220;sexpots&#8221;. Wait, you mean a horror synopsis is littered with false advertising? No way!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">27min:</span> The zombies break into a house, rip a woman&#8217;s clothes off, and then a zombie stabs her in the eye with her high heels.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">34min:</span> I have no idea what the hell is happening in this movie. Some corporation is trying to cover up their toxic waste. The secretary wants to screw the chemist. The chemist is screwing his boss&#8217;s wife. The zombie girls have disappeared. This movies sucks. <img src='http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">42min:</span> A zombie just bit off a penis. It was very obviously a hot dog.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">45min:</span> the secretary finally shows the goods and goes full frontal, sex and shower. If you close your eyes, spin around 100 times, and then open them&#8230;she&#8217;s sorta attractive. Oh, zombie girls hide in a swimming pool and then kill a guy as secretary showers, oblivious to his screams.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">56min:</span> This movie is so booooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnggggggg. There has been barely any zombies in this movie. Only a couple scenes. Hardly any gore. It&#8217;s mostly just a corporate suspense thriller full of sex-tape blackmail and intrigue. God damn you France. <em>Damn you</em>&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">61min:</span> zombie girls gag a prostitute, throw her on a bed, cut her clothes off with a sword (!)&#8230;then they strip off all of their clothes and start rubbinger her down. Lesbian zombie sex. Hot!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">63min: </span>Zombie just shoved the sword right up the whore&#8217;s vagina. Not hot.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">66min:</span> What the hell happened? The movie just started getting interesting. So this dude who got the chemical on his hand, which has been deteriorating throughout the film, places his crazy ass pregnant wife into the shower. Obligatory pregnant shower scene&#8230;then she looks down and there is a hole in her stomach. She starts screaming while caressing her dead baby as blood flows everywhere. The chemical on her husband&#8217;s hand apparently ate through her stomach (and unborn child)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">73min:</span> What? Calling this an abrupt ending would be an understatement. The secretary makes off with the casH (don&#8217;t ask, it&#8217;s complicated). The zombies, who have been hanging out in church, kill the original dude who poured the orange juice into the milk truck. Then they catch a cab (really), swerve from a police roadblock and flip out. Then a guy tosses a molotav cocktail into the car where it bursts into flames, killing the secretary and all of the zombies. The end.</p>
<p>French horror films: sorta makes you nostalgic for those Nazis.</p>
<p>*ba-dum CHING!*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/witchcraft7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1049 alignleft" style="float: left;" title="witchcraft7" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/witchcraft7.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="283" /></a> Yes! Somehow Troma got the rights to this installment in the neverending Witchcraft series and because a ton of Troma&#8217;s library is now on Netflix Instant Viewing, I get to watch it! Why am I so excited?!!!!! Because it&#8217;s freaking Will Spanner baby! The most underappreciated recurring character in all of horrordom. OK maybe that is exaggerating things a bit&#8230; Anyways, here is the synopsis for <em>Judgment Hour</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><em>It&#8217;s been a long and arduous journey for lawyer Will Spanner, whose sideline job has him doing battle with ghoulish creatures of the night. But his enemies have saved their best salvo for last, as they force him to face his toughest nemesis on what can only be dubbed Judgment Day. Is Spanner up to the gruesome task? Or is a mere human like him unable to stop the forces of evil?</em></p>
<p>Sign me up! No more talk. Give me some Spanner action! That didn&#8217;t come out right&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">3 min:</span> it took 3 minutes to get to the titties! remarkable&#8230; wo-ho! and bush!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">4 min:</span> the vampire is seductively using a straw to drip milk all over this chicks nipples. This is some hot shit</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">6 min:</span> worst pair of vampire teeth I&#8217;ve ever seen. It looks like the filmmakers picked them up out of a quarter vending machine at a super market. Random shot of a snake coiling around a cross necklace&#8230;cut to Will Spanner, looking concerned&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">9 min:</span> HELLO. Full frontal and outta the shower&#8230;as a mysterious eye watches through a crack in the wall&#8230;(turns out it is a telescope)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">12 min:</span> wait&#8230;she&#8217;s rubbing a police light on his crotch&#8230;.As the police close in, we get a random crazy blue tinted sex scene. These are the slowest police ever.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">19 min:</span> How can Will Spanner of all people not know that that odd bite markon the dead-then-alive girl&#8217;s neck is a vampire bite? A character just said &#8220;It could be a killer bee bite. I hear they&#8217;ve made it up this far&#8221;. Ah to relive the 90&#8242;s again <img src='http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">22 min:</span> slow motion bare ass montage! Eisenstein would have been proud</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">24 min:</span> Thus begins another sex scene. A couple things..one: the director has a fetish for extreme female ass crack closeups. Two: women with fake breasts are NOT attractive. Play with what your momma gave ya, ladies</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">29 min:</span> In best Wayne Brady voice: &#8220;Is Will Spanner gonna have to stake a bitch?&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">40 min:</span> So get this. Spanner comes home to a wife who suspects him of cheating and freaks out on him. He throws her ass down and then goes to his mother&#8217;s grave where he then smashes mud all over his face and yells out &#8220;GIVE ME THE STRENGTH!!!!&#8221; in the most melodramatic, poorly overacted scene you will ever see. And in typical Spanner style, he then comes home and boinks his old lady. Will Spanner: The definition of cool (he&#8217;s tickling her nipples with his tie! How badass is that!)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">45 min:</span> Ok, another sex scene in a car with a chick whose implants look like 2 softballs attached to her chest. She&#8217;s banging the head vampire dude and I don&#8217;t know why, but now she&#8217;s suspended above some fire with a naked dude laying next to her with a snake on his chest. Anyways, turns out the lead vampire is going to get all the blood in the city&#8230;or something. I&#8217;m still wrapping my brain around that tie nipple tickle (oooh&#8230;say that 3 times fast) move. I&#8217;ve gotta try that&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">56 min:</span> Spanner is doinkin his wife again. In slow motion this time as her hair blows in the wind (even though they are inside his house with the windows shut)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">62 min:</span> greatest interaction in the history of movies:</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Lead Vampire:</span> I have a feeling about those policemen who were here yesterday..</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffff00;">Servant:</span> what is your feeling, sire?</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Lead Vampire:</span> Like a schoolboy, in the throes of his first hormonal surge, their suspicions have been aroused to the point where they cannot pull out.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>Greatest. Line. Ever.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">65 min:</span> S&amp;M! Samurai sword decapitation! More sex!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">67 min:</span> Oh no! the lead vampire, in the form of a rubber hand puppet bat has just materialized in Spanner&#8217;s bedroom and is groping the shit out of his sleeping wife&#8217;s breasts! Oh my god he just bit her and she&#8217;s rubbing the blood on her self and masturbating!!!!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">71 min:</span> &#8220;he&#8217;s a major fundraiser for the Republican party&#8221;- this describes the dude being dominated by the S&amp;M hooker.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">82 min:</span> Spanner squares off against Dracula who morphs into a terrible mid 90&#8242;s low budget CGI bat/hand puppet combo. He flies around Spanner in a circle a few times before he gets knocked into a wall. He then turns back into Fabio-lite and goes Ninja on Spanner&#8217;s ass. They fight over the stake, which Spanner stabs Dracula with. Spanner also is stabbed in the process. Lamest fight ever.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">88 min:</span> Spanner is dead. Dracula shows up to get his wife. She re-shoves the stake into his heart, killing him. The end.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to go out on a limb and say &#8220;I don&#8217;t recommend this movie&#8221;. Until next time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/b.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1042 alignleft" style="float: left;" title="b" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/b.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="288" /></a> This looks to be another Netflix instant viewing classic! Here&#8217;s their synopsis:</p>
<p><em>Industrial metal band Gothic Vampires from Hell is just starting out in the business. In their quest for a recording contract, they encounter Annastasia and Jasmine , the mysterious owners of Gotham Records. For the band, vampirism is a persona; for these two seductive beauties, it&#8217;s a way of life! The film&#8217;s soundtrack throbs with the biggest names in Goth music, including New Skin, Fear Cult and Razed in Black.</em></p>
<p>Sweet! I have no idea who any of those bands are, but I&#8217;m sure they are going to play some killer tunes! And away we go&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">O min:</span> Dude&#8230;the opening is all in terrible CG, skeletons dancing (!), and the title of the movie is actually <em>Gothic Vampires From Hell: Battle of the Bands</em>. I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">2 min:</span> Oh. My. God. There is going to be no way I can convey how ridiculous these actors look.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5 min:</span> &#8220;Pretty good isn&#8217;t going to win the battle of the bands! I&#8217;d sell my soul to make it happen!&#8221; (oh, and the dude whose neck was just spewing gore&#8230;you could totally see the tube)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">10 min:</span> Edgar&#8217;s Ravens. That&#8217;s one of the band names. I&#8217;m serious.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">15min:</span> This movie is like a Marilyn Manson video as shot by 12 year olds. At least most of the girls are pretty hot, so it has that going for it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">17min:</span> Jiggly boobs!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">24 min:</span> Vampire attack. I&#8217;m at a complete loss for words. This movie has to be seen to be believed.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">30 min:</span> ok. There are plenty of hot-to-partially hot women in this movie. None of them are getting naked and I don&#8217;t know why. The only nudity so far has been intercut footage of what looks like an actual goth bar of a fat chick getting spanked by a fat guy. It also looks like the director edited this turd with windows moviemaker as all of the music video cut scenes have retarded filters on them.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">34 min:</span> oh that&#8217;s just bullshit! sex scene, girl takes off her bra, cut away before we see her tits&#8230;Here comes another sex scene (intercut with shots from Nosferatu..what the hell?!) with the main vampiress&#8230;she doesn&#8217;t drop her top either. Unbelievable.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">40 min:</span> There hasn&#8217;t been a cymbal crash in this song, but the drummer is going wild on them! The plot has just been revealed. The vampiress and her two minions want to turn the lead singer of Gothic Vampires From Hell into their new Vampire master because he has a dreamy voice</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">45 min:</span> wait, <em>what</em>? Out of nowhere, there is a nude CGI woman, engulfed in flames, dancing on the screen as a vampire chick licks her fangs seductively&#8230;i&#8217;m interested to see where this leads&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">46 min:</span> Oh GOD NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">48 min:</span>MY EEEEYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">50 min:</span> *MaT weeps in a corner*</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">55 min:</span> So you know how I was saying that none of the hot girls were getting naked in this movie? Well in walks this fat goth chick and her 80 pound pair of titties. Off comes the top, cue nasty groping and MaT vomiting. Oh that&#8217;s not all, the hideous goth monstrosity then spreads her legs and starts rubbing herself before being eaten by the skinny one.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">63 min:</span> Did I mention that the screaming in this movie is dubbed with one of those electronic Halloween toys that you press a button on?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">68 min:</span> I don&#8217;t know how to describe what I just witnessed.  Speed cutting combined with CG blood bubbles&#8230;oh wait, they just found the &#8220;Old Master&#8221; in his pink coffin&#8230;gotta go!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">71 min:</span> Oh snap! She just went Mola Ram on that bitches heart!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">75 min:</span> To sum up, they won the battle of the bands and now the lead singer is the master vampire after double crossing the vampiress. And this movie wouldn&#8217;t be complete without ending on one last musical number, with a montage re-playing every death/blood/gore scene in the movie. That pads the running time, see? Oh..and the final shot is of the fat girl being whipped again.</p>
<p>Unbelievable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/tiki_2006_dvd.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-970" title="tiki_2006_dvd" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/tiki_2006_dvd.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="284" /></a> Yes. I&#8217;m about to watch a film called <em>Tiki</em>.  Full Moon used to have a monopoly on puppet sized terrors but their recent output has been pretty abysmal. This flick is put out by Image Entertainment and already, there seems to be some false advertising. The Netflix and Imdb pages list this film at a whopping 2 hours. Yet as I load it up on the instant viewing player, it&#8217;s showing it at only 82 minutes. Thank the film gods!</p>
<p>You may be wondering why I&#8217;m watching this? Well, I&#8217;m uploading all 4 tapes of <em>Outpost Doom</em> scenes we shot this past weekend and I need something to kill my time. Tiki is from 2006 and is directed by Ron Ford, who seems to bathe in crappy horror projects (he&#8217;s got <em>Witchcraft XI</em> on his resume). I&#8217;m anticipating some really awful stop motion puppetry and boobies. Will I get what I demand? And away we go!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">2 min:</span> Crazy dude has stuffed a redhead inside a sack and duct taped her mouth shut. We find out that her father owns an evil corporate cruiseliner outfit that put him (the &#8220;little guy&#8221;) out of business to line his pockets with greed. It&#8217;s payback time!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">4 min:</span> Tiki man slices off the dude&#8217;s fingers. Suspiciously, there is plastic all over the floors just like <em>The Grand Horror</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5 min:</span> Eyeball gouged out, throat slit&#8230;body falls perfectly onto the plastic. I&#8217;m having &#8216;Nam like flashbacks&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">10 min:</span> &#8220;Untie my frickin hands! C&#8217;mon, I&#8217;m not goddamned Hannibal Lecter!&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">14 min:</span> How ironic. The main character is going to college to be an actress. Maybe the director was trying to give some not-so-subtle advice.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">20 min:</span> I don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s possible, but I think I&#8217;d rather be watching <em>The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">22 min:</span> Boobies! Courtesy of the nasty, manish lead actress</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">28 min:</span> Theatre kids are all bonkers. Take it from me. If you&#8217;ve ever been around a group of pretentious theatre majors you&#8217;ll know what I&#8217;m talking about. Anyway, this film is all told in flashback via one of the actresses who is now in an asylum. They play a trick on Amy and get her to show up at her instructors house in the middle of the night, looking to score. Once everybody starts laughing at her, she has a seizure on his front lawn. Oh yeah, she had been cast in the lead role of Pygmalion&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">40 min:</span> The Tiki Man is the dumbest thing I&#8217;ve ever seen. It&#8217;s literally just a piece of wood they are bouncing up and down. It didn&#8217;t even kill the last person. The guy just fell over on his own pitch fork.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">41 min:</span> They&#8217;ve got the Tiki Man attached to a wire and the actor is flailing around, acting like it is strangling him. This is some of the dumbest shit since <em>666 Demon Child</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">45 min:</span> &#8220;Beads injected into her brain?!!!!! This sounds bad to me!!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">53 min:</span> Whoa! lesbian threesome out of nowhere! Only one girl takes off her top. lame.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">56 min:</span> Worst. Car off a cliff. Scene. <em>Ever</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">58 min:</span> Tiki Man beats the big girl to death with her own shoes. <em>Seriously</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">68 min:</span> Tiki Man ripps off the top of crazy girls&#8217; skull. Then the main character wakes up from her coma, causing the Tiki Man to lose its power. <em>Sigh</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">76 min:</span> Tiki Man scalps crazy girl. The End.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">80 min:</span> Catering by : Yo&#8217; Dog Catering. Filmed on location in Spokane, Washington (that town must be proud)</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Final Thoughts</span>: Just an awful, <em>awful</em> movie. I&#8217;d rather have my wang puréed and then be forced to drink it then to ever watch this travesty of lost time ever again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/hollywoodstrangler.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-955" title="hollywoodstrangler" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/hollywoodstrangler.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="227" /></a> I&#8217;m back with another running commentary of a terrible movie that&#8217;s free on Netflix&#8217;s instant viewing section. This week brings you the Ray Dennis Steckler 1979 flick <em>The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher</em>.  Steckler is, of course, the king of nutzoid movie titles. His most famous being <em>The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies!!?</em>. That film happens to be a blight on existence and so I don&#8217;t have high hopes for this one. And lets not forget another great Steckler title: <em>The Lemon Grove Kids Meet the Green Grasshopper and the Vampire Lady From Outer Space</em>. The flick I&#8217;m about to watch is obviously a play on the old Universal stuff like <em>Frankenstein meets the Wolfman</em>&#8230;let&#8217;s see if it is as good. And away we go!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">0 min:</span> Old creepy dude photographs a half-naked chick in red hot pants while thinking to himself &#8220;She wants me to do it to her&#8221;. Christ, we aren&#8217;t even a minute into this crap!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">2 min:</span> Death by strangulation! The audio is dubbed, <em>poorly</em>. The girl sounds like a phone sex operator as she is being strangled. Not that I would know what a phone sex operator sounds like or anything&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">4 min:</span> Steckler&#8217;s directorial pseudonym for this movie: Wolfgang Schmidt</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">5 min:</span> Playboy Alert! Marilyn Monroe pictorials filmed in loving detail</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">7 min:</span> Titties! The woman&#8217;s apartment not only has a movie poster of Douglas Fairbanks&#8217; <em>The Thief of Baghdad</em> on her wall, but also a giant hot dog. The set design is impeccable!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">8 min:</span> &#8220;Nice little shot of my BUTTAX!&#8221; seriously, that&#8217;s how she pronounced it. By the way, there is no actual dialog in this movie. It&#8217;s all voiceover and really awful dubbing in post production.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">13 min:</span> Awesome. The bookstore has a poster for Robert Lippert&#8217;s <em>Last of the Wild Horses</em>. Lippert was a prolific producer of horror in the 50&#8242;s and 60&#8242;s and made stuff like <em>The Fly</em>, <em>The Last Man on Earth</em>, and <em>The Earth Dies Screaming</em>. Classy!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">14 min:</span> Flick-O-Rama Arcade: Marital Aids, Color Film, Pinballs, 25 cent Movies (on the marquee)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">17 min:</span> The Skid Row Slasher strikes! Homeless man bleeds bright red paint from his throat!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">20 min:</span> even more movie posters on the walls for inexplicable reasons: <em>Teenage Massage Parlor</em>, <em>Paranoia</em> (I can&#8217;t tell, but I think it is for the 1969 Umberto Lenzi sex flick <em>Orgasmo</em>) and <em>Teenage Hustler</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">23 min:</span> Titties! Random out of nowhere shower scene!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">24 min:</span> Girl dries off in a Kiss towel, then after the strangler snuffs her out with a pillow, we get a dramatic zoom in closeup on a Kiss record! Gene Simmons, what does it all mean????!!!!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">32 min:</span> First attractive woman in the entire film appears. Gets naked. Strangler&#8217;s motivation revealed: His wife Marcia cheated on him with a bunch of dudes, now he&#8217;s trying to find someone to replace her who is &#8220;pure&#8221;. Unfortunately, every girl he photographs gets buck ass naked and he kills them. Oh yeah, and the Slasher is the chick he likes who runs the bookstore.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">42 min:</span> Ginormous Titties during nude roller skating!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">45 min:</span> Slasher takes out another homeless man (that&#8217;s her modus operandi)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">50 min:</span> Dear lord, only 20 more minutes of this hell&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">53 min:</span> Disgusting 70&#8242;s titties and bush!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">56 min:</span> Even more titties!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">59 min:</span> The sexual tension between the Strangler and the Slasher rivals that of Bogie and Bergman!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">71 min:</span> Strangler kills Slasher but Slasher stabs Strangler.  Strangler makes it outside before falling dead in front of a <em>Deep Throat</em> poster as Steckler dramatically pans to a marquee of a porn theatre showing <em>Deep Throat</em>, <em>Behind the Green Door</em>, and <em>The Devil In Miss Jones</em>. The End.</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Final Thoughts</span>: I&#8217;m pretty sure this is the film God showed the Jews before they committed suicide en masse at Masada. I just saved you 71 minutes of your life. You can send any thank you notes to splattercast@deadlantern.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/jacko.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-894" title="jacko" src="http://www.deadlantern.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/jacko.jpg" alt="" width="169" height="240" /></a> So I had this idea, since we review a lot of crap on the Splattercast and in our online reviews, that it might be fun to do a &#8220;Running Commentary&#8221; every now and then. Basically, in order to keep me sane, I&#8217;m going to do these sorts of reviews every time I&#8217;m watching some throwaway junk via my Netflix instant viewing queue. This idea originally came from reading some of the online running commentaries during awards shows like the Oscar&#8217;s, so I figured, why not try it with some movies every now and then? Jack-O will be my first attempt. I&#8217;m watching this because Jeff and Paul had some nice comments about the film on Splattercast 80. I don&#8217;t know how this is going to turn out, as it is a completely new thing I&#8217;m trying, but hopefully it will be fun and give you all an idea of the lunacy in these films as well as be humorous. I&#8217;ll update as interesting things come to my attention. One word of note, I just remembered I wanted to do this so I&#8217;m actually starting this commentary 23 minutes into the film. And away we go&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">23min:</span> Linnea Quigley rubs her asscrack and her breasts while taking a shower. She looks like she&#8217;s really enjoying it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">25min:</span> ACK! The wife has a total case of <a href="http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/images/reche_caldwell_insane_1_1.jpg">Reche Caldwell Eyes</a>!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">26min:</span> &#8220;If she were a dog, I&#8217;d have her spade&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">30min:</span> mental note- if a man with a pumpkin for a head charges me, hold up a makeshift wooden cross and hit his ass with a scythe</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">31min:</span> John Carradine stock footage alert! I wish I had DVD commentary to find out what movie the footage is from&#8230;if anyone knows, e-mail me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">33min:</span> Carradine from a different movie resurrects Jack-O who proceeds to use his scythe on 2 necks and 1 face. He also gets this rad back lighting and fog that accompanies him everywhere he goes. Totally rad.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">37min:</span> Reche Caldwell Eyes!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">40min:</span> Cameron Mitchell sighting. You may remember him as Vance in The Toolbox Murders (1978)</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">42min:</span> Brinke Stevens sighting. She&#8217;s playing an actress in a film they are watching on TV called &#8220;The Coven&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">44min:</span> Ok, the rich conservative couple who hate trick or treaters (&#8220;You want something from me, you pay for it!&#8230;Little Parasites&#8221;) are <em>awesome</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">48min:</span> For the love of god woman, enough with the Reche Caldwell Eyes!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">49min:</span> This movie just taught me that since I&#8217;m a &#8220;bleeding heart liberal&#8221;, I am stealing Jeff&#8217;s air.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">51min:</span> It took nearly 20 minutes, but we finally have another death scene. Scythe to the belly crosscut with images of toast being cut up. How very Godardian.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">53min:</span> Death by toaster. Somebody remind me to slap Jeff the next time I see him.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">56min:</span> BOOBS!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">59min:</span> Earlier in the film, they mentioned that Jack-O takes peoples eyes. Before this movie is over I better see him rip the eyes out of the wife&#8217;s head. Is this chick a BEM, or something?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">65min:</span> Death by decapitation!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">67min:</span> Characters are dropping like flies now. Neck slice combined with extreme closeup of blurry Jack-O head and a beagle. Why is it taking so long for this movie to end? And why does Jack-O feel the need to walk up to people menacingly yet not kill them? He always walks away and waits another 10 minutes before offing anybody. It&#8217;s stupid.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">72min:</span> The family prophecy says only the 5th male descendant after the original destroyer of Jack-O can re-kill Jack-O.  Somebody remind me to punch Jeff the next time I see him.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">78min:</span> Scythe to the gut!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">80min:</span> Jack-O blows up&#8230;or something like that. I was under the impression that it was the little kid who was the 5th male descendant, however it is his father that shoves Jack-O onto the wooden cross?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">84min:</span> The End. Video credit montage. Rebecca Wicks and her Reche Caldwell Eyes didn&#8217;t die and now I&#8217;m angry. This movie can go to hell.</p>
