FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982) – Episode 308 – Decades of Horror 1980s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew unleash the New World Picture’s Alien rip-off, FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982) from Roger Corman. Directed by Allan Holzman, this trashy cult classic features effects from John Carl Buechler, Mark Shostrom, and more handling the Mutant gooey and gory designs and make-up. The cast includes Dan Oliver, Jesse Vint, June Chadwick, Linden Chiles, Scott Paulin, Dawn Dunlap, Fox Harris, Michael Bowen, and Ray Oliver. For those old enough, you likely watched this movie multiple times on cable movie channels, not because it was good but because it was bonkers. Enjoy! FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982)...

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979) - Episode 264 - Decades of Horror 1970s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew head to New Jersey to visit THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), directed by Stuart Rosenberg. The cast includes James Brolin, Margot Kidder, Rod Steiger, Don Stroud, Murray Hamilton, and Natasha Ryan. Based on a "true story" and the best-selling novel by Jay Anson, the movie cements the Amityville house with its eerily lit pair of attic windows into horror film history. When people think of haunted houses, they most likely think of this house - even to this day decades later. Despite it feeling somewhat tame today, The Amityville Horror frightened audiences world wide to the tune of...

THE MAGNETIC MONSTER (1953) – Episode 226 – Decades of Horror The Classic Era
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew return to the 1950s to battle the fear of the atom bomb with the better than you'd expect, often overlooked THE MAGNETIC MONSTER (1953), directed by Curt Siodmak and Herbert L. Strock (uncredited). The cast includes Richard Carlson, King Donovan, Jean Byron, Harry Ellerbe, Leo Britt, Leonard Mudie, and Byron Foulger. And Strother Martin appears briefly in one scene as an airliner co-pilot. The film also incorporates scenes from a 1934 German movie GOLD. While it doesn't feature a "Monster" in typical terms, the threat of the Magnetic Monster is no less formable. Check this one...

HELLO MARY LOU PROM NIGHT II (1987) – Episode 307 – Decades of Horror 1980s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew head back to the Eighties, back to school, and back to senior prom for the cult favorite HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II (1987). Directed by Bruce Pittman and written by Ron Oliver, the film features Michael Ironside, Wendy Lyon, Louis Ferreira, and Lisa Schrage as Mary Lou Maloney. It feels a bit like a supernatural infused "Carrie" clone but it contains fun kills, gore when it needs it, and a fun new horror villain that we deserved much more of in this movie… and more. Check this one out on streaming if you haven't seen it and enjoy the Grue-Crew's take on this entertaining...

Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The 70s Grue-Crew are finally reviewing KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK (1978) to Chad's delight... well, maybe all of ours, Bill, Dave, and Doc. Turns out we are all KISS fans -- Chad even sports his KISS ARMY cap -- and we all watched this when it originally aired on NBC TV in the States on Saturday, October 28, 1978. This episode is a fun discussion on the film, the cast, and each member of KISS -- Peter Criss, Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, and Paul Stanley. We hope you join us.

THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961) - Episode 225 - Decades of Horror The Classic Era
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Classic Era Grue-Crew tackle another of the Corman-Poe-Price series of horror movies, THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961). Roger Corman hones his talent with this one with a solid, expertly crafted direction. Richard Matheson provide a richly entwined adaptation of Poe. And Vince Price is... well, Vincent Price at his best. His portrayal of Nicolas Medina's decent into madness is an example of what Price does best. Incredible, chef's kiss. And Barbara Steele is flawless. The Crew is joined by Crystal Cleveland from Decades of Horror 1980s, making her Classic Era debut. Enjoy! THE PIT AND THE...

THE DEAD NEXT DOOR (1989) - Episode 306 - Decades of Horror 1980s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
Chad picks the direct-to-video Eighties "treasure," THE DEAD NEXT DOOR (1989). The then teenage director, J.R. Bookwalter, truly accomplishes something remarkable given his age and his choice of film stock: Super-8 film. Is the film any good? Well, that's the debate. The practical special effects are quite enjoyable and bloody, quite possibly making the film and the viewing experience what it is. Technically, however, the dialog is cringe, the acting is amateurish, the editing even more so. But, dude, it was filmed on SUPER-8 with mostly local talent and a screenplay with solid ideas for its...

HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (1970) - Episode 262 - Decades of Horror 1970s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew travel to outer space on Al Adamson's XB-13 spacecraft in his Seventies shlock fest, HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (1970). John Carradine is along for the ride sitting comfortably in lawn furniture space chairs. The alien skies are red, green, blue, and yellow in Spectrum-X color effects. Uh-huh. The groovy opening vampire scenes are quickly replaced with a lack-luster crew of space jockeys as they encounter a beautiful alien looking into the distance at scene cut from a little known Pilipino sci-fi film. The creatures include vampire cavemen, lobster men, bat men, and dinosaurs...

PREDATOR (1987) - Episode 305 - Decades of Horror 1980s
Decades of Horror | Horror News Radio
The Grue-Crew revisit the Arnold Schwarzenegger action, sci-fi, horror fan favorite, PREDATOR (1987). The direction from John McTieran, the creature design from Stan Winston, the score from Alan Silvesti, the cinematography from Donald McAlpine, and the cast all add up to a marvelous, thrilling cinematic experience that holds up today. And that case, c'mon, in addition to Arnold, the boasts Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carillo, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, R.G. Armstrong, Shane Black, and Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator. And, let's not forget the quotes: "If it bleed, we...
