I’ve been getting emails requesting that I review this movie, but I already did in 2010. For the folks requesting it, here it is again. And remember, if you want instant gratification for your bad movie fix you can check my Bad Movie page to see if I’ve already reviewed the movie you’re requesting: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/
CRIMINALLY INSANE (1974) – Category: The 70′s version of camp, with a premise and plot elements that would have been banned in previous decades.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE … this film features Ethel, a female slasher who is incredibly overweight … WOULD YOU BELIEVE … that her eating disorder is the point of the film, because after being released from a mental institution at the beginning, she takes to killing people who come between her and her next meal…
WOULD YOU BELIEVE …after killing her Continue reading

INARI – The Shinto rice god. His wife was the goddess Ukemochi and when she was slain by the moon god he married Mitama, the goddess of agriculture. His son was the scarecrow and divination deity Kuyebiko. There are even versions of Shinto myths in which Saki is said to be Inari’s daughter and the goddess of the intoxicating drink Saki like Dionysus is the god of wine in Greek myths.
Inari often roamed the rice fields of Earth, sometimes in the form of a fox, his familiar animal. This connection between the rice god and foxes came from the way foxes often Continue reading

As if perpetuating the superstitious savagery of killing people for drawing pictures of the blood-soaked “prophet” Muhammad isn’t bad enough, leave it to Islam, the most backward religion on the face of the Earth at this particular moment in history, to still be killing people over witchcraft.
Under Sharia Law convicted witches are beheaded in the Muslim world according to Amnesty International, which has Continue reading

“Can 2 of the worst presidents in history share an apartment … without driving each other crazy?”
Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only Independent Voter site on the internet that criticizes both Liberal fanatics and Conservative fanatics equally. This time around we’ll look at another of the many ways that Liberals and Conservatives are the same kind of unbearable people.
And not just because of the way they can’t comprehend that the rest of us (aka “adults”) aren’t the same narrow- minded partisans they are.
Conservatives delude themselves that Continue reading

It’s no secret that American Liberals and Conservatives are all equally fanatical. That fanaticism has helped fuel conspiracy kooks from both sides. Just as there are Conservative nuts who think Obama is a Muslim sleeper agent there are Liberal nuts who spout equally insane conspiracy theories about George W Bush. And, in fact, about his whole family. Since I’ll be examining conspiracy theory as mythology in the near future the hilariously paranoid myths about the Bush family seemed a good place to start! But first some context for the title of this piece.
There’s an entire sub-genre of cheap exploitation films that use the word “madness” in their title. Reefer Madness and Sex Madness are two of the most famous and dealt with alleged hysteria over marijuana and promiscuity, respectively. These films are watched today mostly for their camp value as the audience chuckles at what they view as the paranoia of the filmmakers. So I figured Bush Madness was the perfect title to Continue reading
