  • Motel Hell

    Motel Hell

        This campy little classic has grown in cult status over the years. At first, it was hard to find but eventually, a DVD of it came out both on its own and as a double feature, coupled with a film based on the exploits of Ed Gein called “Deranged”.        It stars…

  • Class of Nuke ’em High

    Class of Nuke ’em High

        Class of Nuke ’em High is one of Troma’s greatest hits. For those of you who don’t know what Troma is… it’s a production company that for a while had its own actors that repeatedly starred in most of its early films. Troma also buys and reproduces old and otherwise lost cult films. They’re…

  • Killer Condom

    Killer Condom

       This is another gem from Troma. A little different though, it’s in French, thankfully with subtitles, and actually had an air of quality to it that most Troma movies lack, due to the fact that H.R. Giger (artist, most popular for having designed the creature in the high budget film Alien) was recruited to…

  • The Children

    The Children

        The Children is another wonderful yet practically impossible movie to find. It’s one of Troma’s least popular movies (at least in comparison to “Toxic Avenger” and “Class of Nuke ’em High).  I can’t imagine why because it’s a jewel of a movie. It’s a totally classic film featuring Troma’s most patented story plot, the…

  • Dawn of the Dead

    Dawn of the Dead

        This is the infamous sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Dawn of the Dead was a bit more mainstream than its predecessor, mostly due to George Romero trying to outdo Night of the Living Dead after it became such an unexpected success.        The storyline supposedly takes place the following day,…

  • May

    May

       May is a pathetically lonely child whose only friend is a doll named “Suzie” that is special and isn’t supposed to be taken out of her glass display case (gee, what fun). She also has a lazy eye and has to wear an eye patch to school, ensuring that she will definitely have no…

  • Orgy of the Dead

    Orgy of the Dead

       Orgy of the Dead was one of Ed Wood’s last films. And if you thought Glen or Glenda or Plan 9 was bad, this farce makes them both look like masterpieces. Towards the end of his life, Ed Wood had already been a raging alcoholic for years and had begun making monster/nudie films. Basically…

  • Bride of the Monster

    Bride of the Monster

        Another one of Ed Wood’s classics in the can. This is officially Bela Lugosi’s last movie. He is credited and seen briefly in one of Ed’s later films called Plan 9 From Outer Space, but this is only because Ed happened to have some home movies of Bela and wove them (not so gracefully)…

  • Good Times

    Good Times

       Contrary to popular belief, “Chastity” was not Sonny and Cher’s first movie attempt. Before Chastity, there was “Good Times”. This movie is a relatively unknown attempt from Sonny and Cher that went practically unnoticed since the day it was released. At this stage of their career, they were looking to do something different aside…

  • Nosferatu

    Nosferatu

         This is a true masterpiece of film. It has reached a high cult status and is just as scary today as it was when it was released in 1922. It’s taken almost verbatim from Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula”, which didn’t sit well with Stoker’s widow who had never given away rights to the…
