Last Monster/Horror/Sci-Fi Movie/Show You Watched

Those look very impressive. It's nice to have merchandising on a movie this cool. Thanks for the info, bro.

You're welcome. Eibon Press comics are a bit pricey but should be right in your wheelhouse- gore, nudity, rough language, but most importantly they convey the spirit of Grindhouse Horror. You would enjoy Bottomfeeder and Maniac too, I bet. Maniac #2 features a clash between Maniac (Joe Spinell) and Fulci's New York Ripper. Bottomfeeder features a character played by Joe Pilato. Some of the issues have CDs voiced by the actors (Ian McCullough and Joe Pilato, for example). These comics would be rated Hard-R at least so they deliver for Grindhouse fans.

Nope. That is what the title is printed on the VHS .
Low-budget.

Are you sure it's not "Killers Delight" (1977 horror)?

It may be that title. But the sticker on the VHS and the box art read Keeper's Delight. I even looked on Imdb for the movie. The only title that came-up was-The Keeper (1976). Which is not the same film. This film involves two Bikers on their way to California. Along the way they meet two Female hitchhikers.....and that's when the fun.....errrrr, Horror begins. The two Female hitchhiker's are Witches, luring the Bikers into........

If that plot seems familiar to you or any UMA'er, then maybe another title will come-to-mind.

That doesn't sound much like this description of "Killer's Delight".

I hesitate to mention that this movie was reportedly inspired by the real-life Ted Bundy and Ed Kemper murders because this is actually quite different from the "serial killer biopics" that are so popular today. On one hand, this is kind of one those low-rent crime dramas inspired by "Dirty Harry" (which was itself loosely based on the real-life Zodiac Killer). It is set in the suburbs of San Francisco, not far from where "Dirty Harry" takes place, and the focus is mostly on the two cops investigating the murders. The movie also mines the then-popular "sexy female hitchhiker" movies as pretty much all the victims are young females with tight shorts and loose morals.

In a particular absurdity though, the killer's main hunting ground is a single community swimming pool. This would not only seem to make him very easy to catch, but you would think he'd run out of victims pretty fast since people would STOP GOING SWIMMING AT THAT PARTICULAR POOL. But from a purely exploitation standpoint, of course, the pool locale provides for plenty of scenes of nubile girls in bikinis. The murders are pretty effective, at least while the killer remains a shadowy figure in a sinister yellow van. At one point, he picks up two girls hitchhiking back to the pool (where their mother had dropped off) from their boyfriends' house. One minute the two girls smoking dope in the front seat of the van with the unseen killer and the next minute one of the girls is tied up in the back watching as her friend gets brutally raped. After the killer comes out of the shadows though and turns out to be a short, pudgy John Karlen (from the Euro-fave horror flick "Daughters of Darkness"), the movie becomes significantly less scary.

The movie has some interesting, very 70's touches. The main detective is married (to a woman who's surprisingly understanding when the killer at one point dumps a body on their lawn), yet he's carrying on with a female professor of criminology, who hatches a crackpot scheme to catch the killer using herself as bait. The other detective (Martin Speer, who many may recognize as Dee Wallace's husband in "The Hills Have Eyes") is single, but quite a swinger himself. In one scene he is seriously rebuffed by a female colleague, but in the next scene he is in bed with her (only in the 70's--or, at least, only in the movies of the 70's). The cynical ending is also very 70's. And that, perhaps, is the best reason to see this today--it really captures the flavor of the era (think a kind of downbeat "Starsky and Hutch" with graphic violence and nudity). Not recommended for serious serial killer buffs, but a good movie for 70's crime thriller fans.

Street Trash~Man, I remember reading articles about this one in Fango back in the day and seeing the images; I really wanted to see it but never did.  Well, now I have and it wasn't for me.  I don't know what happened to the simple plot of poisonous alcohol melting people (which when it was done, it was done well) but it left for the better part of this movie.  There was none of the quaint charm of a Troma film but it felt very much like a knock off of one.  At least I can check it off my list and say I've seen it but I don't think I'll ever be revisiting it.

 The 7th Victim -
  One of the creepiest of Val Lewton's horror classics. Always been one of my favorites.

Hellraiser, 1987 -
Hellbound: Hellraiser II, 1988 -

These have lost their punch for me over the years.  When They first came out I had trouble looking at the screen during the gushier parts.  I mean, all those hooks ripping flesh apart while the victims scream.

Hell, I've had a fishhook in my thumb before - it freakin' HURTS!


Today, they just seem like a bunch of other horror films.  (I still don't watch the "Saw" films.)

[Mord]

 I give the Saw films a bit more respect. The plots and torture set pieces are convoluted, but clever and entertaining. Though, I do understand the burn out.

Don't Kill It-2017

Don't Kill It-2017

I'm pretty sure I've watched this one? What was it about?

[Monsters For Sale]

You Can't Kill Stephen King, 2012 - Six young adults visit the lake where author Stephen King lives and decide to try to find his house.  Their inquiries are met with silence and odd behavior from the locals.  Then,  someone or something begins stalking and killing them one by one.


Movie is played as part semi-parody, part more serious comedy/horror and doesn't fully satisfy in either case.  Wish they had gone much more serious and a whole lot darker.  It would have made the final payoff much more satisfying.

Still, an OK little, low budget time-waster.  I'm glad to have watched it.


Stick with it through the too humorous slap-sticky beginning.  It gets better. 

     (Any horrific act seems more terrifying seen through Kate (Lori) Costello's wide eyes.)
