Don’t Go Near the Park (1979)
May 5, 2007Flesh-Eating Immortals
Another of the ‘don’t __’- titled entries of the 1970s. This is a bizarre bad movie about teenage runaways in L.A.'s Griffith Park who fall prey to flesh-eating immortals
Linnea Quigley
Graduation Day (1981)
Jun 16, 2016Slasher Film
Another entry from the slasher heyday, appropriating a holiday as title. This is fairly tatty as the lowered standards of the slasher genre go, although the cast contains some interesting names in retrospect
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Oct 19, 2003Christmas Slasher Film/Psycho Santa
Not the first but the most famous of the psycho Santa films. At the time, it was just another slasher film exploiting a holiday title. However, this does the slasher movie formula rather well while digging into Christmas sentiment with a bite that takes you aback
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Dec 6, 2001Zombies/Black Comedy
Spinoff of Night of the Living Dead that emerged from a complicated copyright split with George Romero. Director Dan O'Bannon substitutes black humour to deliver an hilariously different take on Romero's zombie film
Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama (1987)
Jul 30, 2003Demonic Imp
A David DeCoteau film that comes with one of the great exploitation titles of all time but is otherwise a cheap Scream Queen vehicle about a demonically possessed bowling trophy
Nightmare Sisters (1988)
Jul 16, 2025Possessed Scream Queens
An 80s Scream Queen film featuring Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer as sorority girls who become possessed. From director David DeCoteau
Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)
Dec 17, 2013Ancient Egyptian Chainsaw Worshipping Cult
Construed by prolific B movie hack Fred Olen Ray around its two stars - Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface, and Scream Queen Linnea Quigley, this hits a perfect note between bimbos, tongue-in-cheek and cheap gore
Beach Babes from Beyond (1993)
Nov 17, 2013Alien Beach Bunnies
Prolific low-budget hack David DeCoteau directs what feels like a very softcore version of a Gidget film crossbred with Earth Girls Are Easy (albeit with the sexes reversed). A film that quickly sinks into awfulness
Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings (1994)
Jan 23, 2024Monster Movie
The Stan Winston directed Pumpkinhead was one of the genuinely original monster movies of the 1980s. This was the first of several video-released sequels
Strangers Online (2010)
Nov 4, 2011Female Stalker/Psycho-Sexual Thriller
Passable attempt to return to the heyday of the 1990s psycho-sexual thriller. Made on the cheap side, this does an okay job of covering the basics until an improbable denouement
Screaming in High Heels: The Rise and Fall of the Scream Queen Era (2011)
Nov 19, 2013Scream Queen Documentary
Documentary about the so-called Scream Queen phenomenon - a series of cheap horror films from the late 80s/early 90s made for the video market featuring a series of starlets who readily got naked and kicked ass. This interviews the principal players and covers the genre with a reasonable degree of insightful candour
1313: Cougar Cult (2012)
Jun 1, 2022Were-Cougars
Another of David DeCoteau’s bizarre homoerotic horror films featuring a trio of former 80s Scream Queens who are were-cougars
Lake Fear 2: The Swamp (2018)
Nov 2, 2020Backwoods Slasher
Slasher film in which a group of unlikeable teens on Springbreak are slaughtered by backwoods hicks in the Everglades. Sold as a sequel to Lake Fear despite neither film being connected in any way
Clownado (2019)
Jan 17, 2020Storm of Killer Clowns
This may possibly win the award for the all-time most ridiculous premise for a film. It tries to outdo Sharknado by offering up a storm of killer clowns
Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street (2019)
Jun 21, 2020Documentary About the Gay Subtext in A Nightmare on Elm Street II
A documentary that discusses the gay subtext in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part II: Freddy's Revenge and how lead actor Mark Patton claims it ruined his career
In Search of Darkness II: A Journey Into ’80s Horror Continues (2020)
May 6, 2024Documentary About the 1980s Horror Film
A follow-up to the documentary about the 1980s horror film, this deals with some of the lesser-known and overlooked works that were not covered the first time around
Triassic Hunt (2021)
Jan 12, 2023Dinosaurs Amok
