31 Days of Horror: From Beyond (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! Day 31, Halloween “It’s changing us, doc. All of us.

31 Days of Horror: Castle Freak (1995) 10/30/2023

31 Days of Horror: Castle Freak (1995) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! (In Spirit) - Day 29 Empire might've been obsolete, but the gang was still around to make us squirm. I just wish we learned HOW Combs lost his college gig. History has shown that letting Jeffrey Combs loose on a college campus doesn't end well. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28456712

31 Days of Horror: Prison (1987) 10/28/2023

31 Days of Horror: Prison (1987) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!

31 Days of Horror: Ghost Town (1988) 10/27/2023

31 Days of Horror: Ghost Town (1988) Day 27 EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! “My pain will be your pain!” An offbeat, grotesque, quick-on-the-draw horror/western with some choice dialogue: “An accident’s when a Junebug flies up yer ass. And this ain’t June!” /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28446278

31 Days of Horror: Underworld/Transmutations (1985) 10/27/2023

31 Days of Horror: Underworld/Transmutations (1985) Day 26 EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! The first feature adaptation of a Clive Barker work and had they watched Beverly Hills Cop or Octopussy a couple years prior, they'd know Steven Berkoff is never to be trusted. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28446260

31 Days of Horror: Vicious Lips (1986) 10/27/2023

31 Days of Horror: Vicious Lips (1986) Day 25 EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! "But...you're so ugly!" "So are you, my dear. So are you..." It's a sci-fi/horror/musical, so you'd better believe it's an Albert Pyun film. RIP. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28446242

31 Days of Horror: Cemetery High (1988) 10/24/2023

31 Days of Horror: Cemetery High (1988) 31 Days of Horror - Day 24 “We don’t have enough nudity in this movie! Breasts and blood! That’s what America wants to see!” The director of Psychos in Love serves up another satirical horror-comedy, this time tackling the tricky subject of rape-revenge movies and female empowerment. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28411880

31 Days of Horror: Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) 10/23/2023

31 Days of Horror: Catacombs (1988) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 22 If he's gotta pray for atonement while eating a Snickers, wait'll he discovers Fun Dip! /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28387019

31 Days of Horror: TerrorVision (1986) 10/21/2023

31 Days of Horror: TerrorVision (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 21 "Fantastic idea for a movie! Martians diddling the women of the universe!" I wanna party with Spiro. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28384163

31 Days of Horror: Dreamaniac (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 20 “I thought I recognized those small tits!” David DeCoteau's first non-porn feature wherein he attempts to create a female Freddy Krueger. It...didn't catch on. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28381172

31 Days of Horror: Spellcaster (1988) 10/19/2023

31 Days of Horror: Spellcaster (1988) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 19 "Stupid DJ." "I'm a VEEJAY!" In the end, Spellcaster is about personal responsibility and respecting someone else’s property. You fuck around with antiques, you get brutalized by monster chairs, big-toothed beasties, decrepit living corpses, and scariest of all, a hammy Adam Ant. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28368764

31 Days of Horror: The Caller (1987) 10/18/2023

31 Days of Horror: The Caller (1987) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 18 “I understand. I really do.” Well, I DON’T!!! A sorta-classy, quasi-chamber piece revolving around an enigmatic mind game between two strangers featuring Malcolm McDowell, bizarre dialogue, and a doozy of an ending. /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28356803

31 Days of Horror: The Evil Clergyman (1988) 10/17/2023

31 Days of Horror: The Evil Clergyman (1988) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 17 “You certainly have an obsession with sex and death. Well, who doesn’t these days?” The most obscure and least seen of the Barbara Crampton/Jeffrey Combs movies, this once-lost short finds the Empire dream team tackling, what else? An H.P. Lovecraft tale which is both nightmarish and kinda kinky: "Kiss me like you used to." /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28347815

31 Days of Horror: Troll (1986) 10/16/2023

31 Days of Horror: Troll (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 16 "RAT BURGER!!!" All I'll ever need is Michael Moriarty lip-syncing and gyrating to Blue Cheer's "Summertime Blues." /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28337201

31 Days of Horror: Grotesque (1988) EMPIRE (maybe) STRIKES BACK! - Day 15 “We are people! REAL PEOPLE! Everyone else is phony, but we are REAL!!!” One of those obscure titles that I can't confirm or deny Empire distributed, this is nevertheless a punk schizophrenic mash-up of genres and tone featuring Linda Blair, Tab Hunter, AND Angel herself, Donna Wilkes! /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28323491

31 Days of Horror: Dr. Alien (1989) 10/14/2023

31 Days of Horror: Dr. Alien (1989) Day 14 - EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! "What can you tell me about your penis?" Displaying a resolute commitment and determination to being a silly, uninhibited blast, DeCoteau is in fine, even satirical form with this raucous sci-fi/comedy featuring bounteous breasts, a rockin’ heavy metal number, terrific galactic effects by future Oscar winner Greg Cannom, and of course, the consumption of cool, refreshing Shasta. (crack) Ahhhhh.... /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28314854

31 Days of Horror: Breeders (1986) 10/14/2023

31 Days of Horror: Breeders (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 13 The Species of its day. “Whoevah told ya a cheap dinnah in a second-rate Itah-lian restaurant was a ticket to a girl’s bedroom...” /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28313423

31 Days of Horror: Necropolis (1986) 10/13/2023

31 Days of Horror: Necropolis (1986) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 12 A punk witch tale. I hope you enjoy Satanic interpretive dance! Incomparable performances, especially from a fabulously sassy and prickly coroner who brings a Paul Lynde level of bitchiness: "It's suicide, honey!" /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28305299

31 Days of Horror: Mutant Hunt (1987) 10/11/2023

31 Days of Horror: Mutant Hunt (1987) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 11 The Space Shuttle Sex Murders?! Now, THERE’S a prequel they shoulda made!

31 Days of Horror: Cellar Dweller (1988) 10/10/2023

31 Days of Horror: Cellar Dweller (1988) EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! - Day 10 "Death is Sad!" Just remember, if you ever get writer's block, just grab your handy dandy Necronomicon for inspiration! /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28281956

31 Days of Horror: Creepozoids (1987) 10/09/2023

31 Days of Horror: Creepozoids (1987) Day 9 - EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! And who could forget dear, dear rat girl? Sure, there’s been a nuclear war, acid rain makes travel impossible, and a monster's lurking about, but do you think that’s gonna stop Linnea Quigley from showering with one of her co-workers? I don’t think so! /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28271039

31 Days of Horror: Ghoulies IV (1994) 10/09/2023

31 Days of Horror: Ghoulies IV (1994) Day 8: EMPIRE (doesn't) STRIKE BACK...'cause Empire was already long gone, baby! The great Jim Wynorski directs this ridiculous trifle featuring the return of Peter Liapis from the original and Stacie Randall, whose outfit does most of her acting. “You barely speak English! How do you know an ancient language?!” /episode/index/show/themoviebuffandthecinephile/id/28261091
