BAD MOVIE PAGE: THE WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK (1972)

No, not The Werewolf Of Washington, which is a whole other movie, but The Werewolf of Woodstock, site of the famous multi-day music festival in 1969 New York. Enjoy this atrocious attempt at a rock’n’roll horror film.      And for more bad movie reviews click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

 THE WEREWOLF OF WOODSTOCK (1972) – Category: Bad enough and with a classically weird premise but not fun-bad enough for my highest rating      

 This made for tv movie presents the weirdest variation on the werewolf legend this side of Curse of the Queerwolf. The story begins the night after the conclusion of 1969′s Woodstock music festival when a grumpy old man who hates rock music and young people goes to the litter-strewn remnants of the outdoor concert looking for “hippies” to harass.

 This act is even dumber than it first sounds when you consider that just a bit earlier he and another resident of Woodstock were discussing how all the concertgoers are “long gone”. While trashing some of the metal stage equipment Continue reading →

BAD MOVIE PAGE UPDATED: HUMPHREY BOGART AS AN UNDEAD MAD SCIENTIST? IT’S “THE RETURN OF DR X” (1939)

For some variety I’ll do my usual Monday feature, the Cool-Named Team Of The Day, tomorrow instead and go with my fresh new addition to my bad movie page. It’s the role Humphrey Bogart wanted everyone to forget, as he invades Bela Lugosi/George Zucco territory to portray an undead mad scientist in the enjoyably campy film The Return Of Dr X.  And for more Bad Movie entries click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/ 

THE RETURN OF DR X (1939) – Category: Enjoyably campy bad movie elevated by kitsch-value in the casting.     Yes, it’s the famous “Humphrey Bogart as a zombie mad scientist” movie. The tale goes that Jack Warner inflicted this role on gangster-flick star Bogart as punishment for Continue reading →

BAD MOVIE PAGE: CURSE OF A TEENAGE NAZI (1948)

Well, folks, I updated my Bad Movie page with yet another review of an under-the-radar cinematic turkey. This one is a sci-fi/ exploitation hybrid that features plotting and counter-plotting by German and Japanese officers and scientists as World War Two draws to a close. Don’t miss any of the campy fun. For more bad movie reviews click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

BAD MOVIE PAGE- THE “KILLER ELEVATOR” MOVIE – THE LIFT (1983)

From 1983 comes this overlooked gem of a bad movie. There’s no real way to adequately describe this flick briefly so let’s dive on in to the review. For more Bad Movie reviews click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

The Lift

THE LIFT (1983) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following       Don’t believe the IMDB entry for this movie that lists “comedy” as well as “horror” as one of this film’s genres. Oh, it will make you laugh uproariously but if you actually watch the movie (which I swear half the IMDB people never do with the movies they provide info on) you can tell none of the humor is intentional.

This absurd horror film from the Netherlands is about a killer elevator … yes, a killer elevator. There is so much to love about this forgotten Continue reading →

BAD MOVIE PAGE: DEAFULA (1975) – THE NOTORIOUS DEAF VAMPIRE MOVIE

Deafula BalladeerYet another of those bad movies that has such a bizarre premise that many believe the film to be an urban legend, like the turkey-monster flick Blood Freak. Get ready for a deaf vampire, a very odd witch and the most joyously goofy hunchback in cinematic history. And for more bad movies click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/ 

DEAFULA (1975) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following

Good intentions go horribly wrong in this film. Much like with Blood Freak, there are people who insist this film is just an urban legend and that it doesn’t really exist. Those people are wrong again. This horror film is in black and white and, as the title suggests, the Continue reading →

BAD MOVIE PAGE: THE MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKALS (1969)

A goofy-looking were-jackal, an undead Egyptian princess and the fattest mummy in history! No, they’re not tonight’s Jeopardy contestants, they’re the main characters of another hilariously bad movie. From 1969 it’s The Mummy And The Curse Of The Jackals. For more bad movies click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

And for an item of mine that Makethelist just ran click here: http://www.makethelist.net/the-top-10-deities-in-shinto-mythology/

THE MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKALS (1969) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following     Depending on which film book you read this movie either did or did not have any theatrical release but thankfully it’s available on video. Part of the bad movie fun is provided by how poorly lit some scenes are, even though that prevents us from getting better looks at 1960′s Las Vegas, where the story takes place. In this film Anthony Eisley portrays an archaeologist who, hilariously enough, can’t Continue reading →

A BED THAT EATS PEOPLE WHO SLEEP IN IT? IT’S DEATH BED FROM 1977

Death Bed

For a nice Friday post we’ll depart from our usual week-ending edition of my Cool-Named Team Of The Day to do a Bad Movie. It’s 1977’s Death Bed and it’s hilariously bad. It gets my highest rating, in fact. For more Bad Movies click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

DEATH BED – (1977) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following      A bed that eats everyone who lies on it is the hilarious premise of this actual straight-faced attempt at a horror film. You know how water-beds have water in them? This living bed has digestive juices in it. Its victims are somehow sucked through the Continue reading →

A MASS MURDERING DOCTOR IN A SMALL VERMONT TOWN: I JUST UPDATED MY BAD MOVIE PAGE

I just updated it with my review of the comically lame telefilm Doctor Cook’s Garden from 1971 starring BING CROSBY himself as our homicidal physician. If you want additional bad movie reviews here is the link: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

 DOCTOR COOK’S GARDEN – (1971) – Category: Enjoyably campy bad movie elevated by kitsch-value in the casting.     Bing Crosby IS Colonel Sanders in Finger Lickin’ Good: A One- Man Show! No, actually Bing plays the title doctor in this made-for- tv movie based on a play by Ira “Rosemary’s Baby” Levin. Trouble is, with the snow-white hair and beard he wears in this telepic Bing looks like he’s supposed to be Colonel Harlan Sanders, inducing laughter in the audience in what is supposed to be a horror/thriller. Doctor Cook is the seemingly amiable physician in a small Vermont town but in reality he’s a killer with a God Complex, giving Continue reading →

YOU WANT ALIEN VAMPIRES IN NAZI UNIFORMS? MY LATEST BAD MOVIE PAGE UPDATE!

Here’s the latest review I added to my Bad Movie page. It’s ALABAMA’S GHOST from 1973 by Fred Hobbs, the same man who brought us The Godmonster Of Indian Flats.  If you want more reviews of under-the- radar bad movies click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/ 

ALABAMA’S GHOST – (1973) – Category: Bad enough and with an enjoyably weird premise, but not fun-bad enough for my highest rating           This film has vampires … No, wait! There’s MORE! They’re NAZI vampires … No, wait! There’s still more! They’re Nazi vampires from outer space! And they’re trying to take over the world by using “Raw Zeta” and an Afican American stage magician called Alabama as a “human hypno- microphone”.
