  • Sleepaway Camp

    Sleepaway Camp

         On the surface, this looks like the typical (usually boring) slasher film with a campground setting.  There are so many out there that it’s kind of hard to tell one from the other, but this one really stands out for the people who bother to give it a chance and don’t just dismiss…

  • Bloody Birthday

    Bloody Birthday

         Three completely (genetically) unrelated births take place in one hospital during a total eclipse of the sun. Two boys and a girl, all of whom are very smart, very cunning, and very deadly, they also share a closeness that seems stronger than natural siblings, much stronger. Pretty much anybody that crosses their paths…

  • Meet the Feebles!

    Meet the Feebles!

      Y’know, when I think of Peter Jackson, I think of a filthy rich multiple Oscar-winning director. Professional in every sense of the word. But few people know that before Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson had a taste (Bad Taste, I should say. Forgive the pun) for gore and perversion. Even Meet the Feebles, a…

  • Terror Toons

    Terror Toons

       This is a totally screwed-up film… on many levels. Wow, where does one start? First of all this movie looks like it was filmed with a home camcorder, the characters are beyond unreallistic and completely unbelievable, the concept is really weird, and the acting is some of the worst ever caught on celluloid.  And…

  • The Satanic Rites of Dracula

    The Satanic Rites of Dracula

        This cheesy 70’s throwaway isn’t really that great of a movie (and that means a lot coming from a cult classic fan like me, who thrives on crap), but still manages to hold up over time. Mostly because of the minor details, such as the title which makes the movie sound as though it…

  • Assassin of Youth

    Assassin of Youth

       This movie is one of a group of about five or six drug-related propaganda films released between 1932 and 1938. The most commonly known of this group is the classic “Reefer Madness”, which has been restored, colorized, and re-released on its own special edition DVD, and even made into a musical with some rather…

  • The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

    The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

       Even though this is the perfect movie to be part of Cultarama, I’ve been avoiding its addition, mostly because an explanation of it is just too damned tiring. It’s a really good film, but much like Eraserhead, this movie can be endlessly discussed and critiqued because of the sheer amount of plot vagueness and…

  • The Legend of Hell House

    The Legend of Hell House

        This is a great haunted house story from 1973, starring Pamela Franklin as Florence Tanner, a mental medium. Roddy McDowell as Ben Fisher, a physical medium and last survivor of a previous attempt to rid the evil of haunted Belasco House. Dr. Barrett (Clive Revill), is a physicist that is determined to unravel the…

  • Reefer Madness

    Reefer Madness

        This movie was actually a propaganda film made with the most honest of intentions by trying to discourage people from the supposed evils of marijuana, but instead, it ended up entertaining pot smokers rather than preventing them. The acting is deplorable, to say the least.        Originally titled “Tell Your Children!”, it…

  • Pink Flamingos

    Pink Flamingos

       From John Waters, the Titan of Trash comes Pink Flamingos. The story of the notorious Divine, the filthiest person alive and proud of it. Because of her criminal lifestyle, Divine has been forced to go underground, adopt the alias of Babs Johnson, and live in a trailer deep in the woods       …
