I’ve been off the grid for a little while thanks to a cocktail of rampant migraines and neverending car troubles. Just call me Tetsuo: The Engine Man until further notice. I also published my first book of poetry called MYSTICS & VIXENS which I will plug now: I have watched many films during my sabbatical, … More Schlock du Jour: Sadistic Eroticism (2012)
Do you have qualms with sexy babes playing in a cemetery, sexual acts, or vhs fetishism? How about bootlicking, lesbian vampires, and pervy sex demons with 18 inch ding-dongs? If you answered yes to one or more of these things, you’d be better off avoiding NAUGHTY DIRTY NASTY, as it’s a medley of the same. … More Schlock du Jour: Naughty Dirty Nasty (2014)
I have always been intrigued by the films of mysterious director Marian Dora. Dora’s reputation in the underground horror scene is unmatched, few directors have come close to filming the atrocities that are seen in his movies. So when I got the chance to watch and review Cannibal, Marian Dora’s second feature film, I couldn’t … More Sick Cinema: Cannibal (2006)
Arriving in the Spook du Jour headquarters mailbox hot off the presses from AGFA is the double bill of SATANIS: THE DEVIL’S MASS and SATAN’S CHILDREN.

Underappreciated gold from the lovely era of weekend nights spent rummaging through the local mom & pop video shop’s stacked horror section. Lost in the shuffle (most likely) from bad word of mouth due to a lack of graphic violence and the underutilization of some pretty damn good zombie makeup, The Supernaturals has slipped into … More The Merits of Sin: The Supernaturals (1986) (USA)
Fuck. Have you ever wanted to kick yourself in the ass so hard it would rearrange your seating situation? Until this moment, I have never felt such regret and anger at my foolishness. I have seen Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell and I wish I had watched it earlier. Thirty years prior to the … More The Merits of Sin: Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell aka The Japanese Evil Dead (2012) (Japan)
Whew! There’s nothing like the feeling of a film living up to “the hype”. An oddly busy schedule ruined my chances of catching Hereditary in theaters but somehow…someway all of its delicious secrets were kept from me. Nothing had been spoiled so I was able to come in like a newborn pup. I’m going to … More The Merits of Sin: Hereditary (2018) (USA)
directed by Gary Whitson runtime: 95 mins Boys and girls, it’s long overdue, but finally I am bringing you a W.A.V.E. Productions movie review. Some of you may ask, “What the frick is W.A.V.E.? More like W?A?V?E?, am I right?” Well before I get to the review, allow me to enlighten those of you in … More Schlock & Gore: Sleepover Massacre (1989)
