  • Compilation Video:
    Today we embark on a journey through the realm of B-movie charm, starting with Waxwork 2: Lost In Time. Director Anthony Hickox and lead star Zach Galligan return for a sequel that cranks the wackiness up to eleven, exploring themes of fate, time battles, and love while paying homage to every genre under the sun. Next, we dive into the fun-filled horror comedy DEAD HEAT, directed by Mark Goldblatt and starring Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo. Despite its initial reception, we're here to champion this bad boy and proclaim - IT OWNS! Finally, we show some love for the mockbuster event of '93, Roger Corman's CARNOSAUR, a cheesy, gory, and downright fun Jurassic Park rip-off that may not have reached Spielberg's heights but certainly has its low-rent charms. Join us as we celebrate these cult classics and give them the adoration they deserve!

    Will always love Dead Heat. My uncle was the multi-faced monster biker that attacks Roger and Doug. Got to visit set for a day when I was a kid Joe taught me how to throw a spiral 🏈 in between scenes.

      I enjoyed that film. Too bad there was no sequel filmed. I still use the concept and the length of time "alive" can be dialed from 0 to infinity. Randi James got 6 weeks. See the 1932 film "6 Hours to Live" similar concept which this resembles.

    I spent so much money on rentals every weekend. But there's something about having zero spoilers for what you're about to push play on. Thank you for the reminder of how good we had it. And a special shout out to Troma, and all the people that brought us Eating Raoul, Henry Fool, and the countless movies that graced the shelves of our local video shops, but are missing in action out there in the universe

    These are all great. Especially Dead Heat. But if i may, one of my personal favorite B movies has always been Tales From the Crypt Demon Night. Williams Sadler gives an amazing and surprising performance, and Billy Zane steals every scene he's in. He definitely knew what kinda movie he was in. Couldn't recommend it more.

    I've been working since I was 6. Pulling weeds in the garden on the family farm. I've been working every since and when I choose a Cola if it isn't Coke than it is RC. I loved the Waxworks Films and enjoyed Dead Heat. Still haven't seen the Carisous films. It looked darker than most films, especially the hippies chaining themselves to the equipment then the monster arrives to eat them. At least they didn't decide to wander off and have sex while a mask killer was out and about.

      No comparison as when you are resurrected you don't eat or drink. Just regenerate every 24 hours from Death Day. Like no other zombies and if you are allowed to go to full brain death you become a zombie minion for who ever orders you around.

    Fuck Waxwork. I barely watched the first one on VHS around 87 or so and as soon as one of the kids said something to the effect of "Hey there's a new waxwork opening this weekend" as if waxworks or wax museums or the fuck they're called were as common and normal as a new movie coming out, I pretty much lost interest. Never saw another one of the movies or remakes. As much as I love splatter, wax museum movies never did it for me.
