Dude's Hair is a Fucking Mess By: Zombie Zane

Yo-yo-yo-and a whatta ya know! It’s Zombie Zane here with you once again to wrap up our week of cult horror movies. It’s been fun though hasn’t it? Well, it’s Friday so that means this will be the last post of the week. Don’t worry, we’ll be back next week with another cool topic.

To end the week, I’m gonna be talking about the film, “Eraserhead.” Have you seen this freaky, fucking film? No? Well, let me tell you about it and then you can decide if you wanna check it out or not. 

“Eraserhead” is a 1977 cult horror film directed by David Lynch. Surely you know who he is. Anyway it’s set in this like post-apocalyptic world. At least that what I got out of it. So this guy named Henry is trying to survive in his world. And let me tell you, not an easy task.

His girlfriend has these fucking freak outs, his apartment is a shithole and he has a mutant baby that screams all the time. It’s like the worst environment imaginable. Sounds like where I live come to think of it.  

His only relief comes from listening and watching the woman in the radiator sing about Heaven. This thing is very odd to say the least. But it’s not un-watch-able. I’ve actually seen it a couple of times. You’ll notice more shit the second time around. Like details and shit you may have missed the first time. Most of these kind of movies seem to be that way, ya know?

As far as my ranking goes, I would give this movie a...thinking...shit I don’t know...a...2.75 out of a possible 5. It’s not quite a 3, but it’s a little better than average. You should really try giving it a watch. I think it’s on Netflix instant watch. I could go see, but fuck it, I wanna finish this post. 

Anyway, there you have it. A little run down of the movie, “Eraserhead.” Maybe you can go check it out this weekend. Well, I guess that’s all I got for you today. Have a safe weekend and Sasha and I will see you back here next week.

Let's play a game....It's called scary noises. By: Sasha Slaughter

Ohh well hey there die hard DEH fans!! Thanks for joining us on yet another day of cult horror awesomeness! Today I'll be telling you about a movie called Night of the Comet (1984). It was written and directed by Thom Eberhardt. It has several diverse genres such as science fiction, horror, zombie apocalypse, and even comedy and a dash of romance thrown in. And here's something you may not know, Night of the Comet was voted number 10 in Bloody Disgusting's top 10 doomsday Horror Films in 2009. Yay! Now go ahead and let me tell you a little about it.

The Earth is getting ready to pass through the tail of a rogue comet, something that had not happened in 65 million years, and the residents of Southern California are getting ready to celebrate. But not 18 year old Regina "Reggie" Belmont. She decides stay in the projection room of the theatre where she works and spend the night with her boyfriend. Meanwhile, her younger sister Samantha is stuck at their home where their stepmother Doris. Doris decides to throw a party for the neighborhood to celebrate the comet, but after a fight with Doris, Samantha runs away and spends the night in a metal yard shed. The following morning, a reddish haze covers the city, and there's no one in sight, only piles of dust. Regina wakes up, not yet knowing what has happened outside. Her boyfriend leaves and she goes looking for him, only to find him being eaten by a zombie. Regina narrowly escapes being attacked by the zombie and hurries home to find her sister and see if she's ok.

After Regina and Samantha finally realize what happened, they hear a local disc jockey, and race to the radio station, only to find it was an automated recording. They run into a man named Hector, who spent the night in his truck. Samantha interrupts the pre-recorded show to make an announcement, and the broadcast is heard by a team of government researchers in an underground think tank. The researchers call the station and tell the survivors that a rescue team is on the way. Reggie and Sam decide to go to the local mall to pass time when they are captured by zombie stock boys, but are soon rescued by the research team.

Regina is immediately taken back to the think tank, while Sam is thought to be infected and was ordered to be killed. A disillusioned scientist named Audrey pretends to kill Sam and then after meeting Hector and telling him how to save Reggie, she kills herself. Regina realizes what the researchers are doing with all of the people they have on life support machines- they are being kept alive so the researches can harvest their blood and create a serum to save themselves. It's up to Hector to save Reggie and for them to stop the researchers from killing innocent people.

BRRRRRRRAINS!! ZOMBIES!!! Ahh! I saw zombies. That was awesome. Anyway, now about the movie. It really wasn't that bad. I kinda liked it actually. And it definitely takes you on a trip back to the 80's. The acting was ok, but that Samantha girl got on my nerves...ughh. The special effects aren't anything to get excited over though, and some parts of the movie were kind of slow. But if you like low-budget B-horror films, this is a decent film to watch. One thing that I didn't really like was the fact that played really irritating music pretty much throughout the entire movie, whether it was related to the scene or not. TOO MUCH MUSIC!

And I think that were maybe like...3 zombies in the entire movie...or a few more..whatever. This movie needed more zombies! Overall I'd give Night of the Comet a 2 out of 5. I will say that this movie is pretty forgetable, even it's a cult classic. I probably won't remember much of it to be honest.The acting was not good...in fact, it was downright annoying. Ughh. But I won't say that I wasted 95 minutes of my life, because the film was slightly entertaining. As far as me ever watching it again?? Good question. Maybe...maybe not. Don't forget to check out what Zane's got going on, and as always, thanks for stopping by Dead End Horror!

Join the Cult Everybody! By: Zombie Zane

Yep! Yep! Yep! Yep! Yep! Let’s get to this motherfucking thing! Zombie Zane with you once again so please hold all comments until after the post. So, what’s good? Anyway, this week at Dead End Horror Sasha and I are talking about cult horror films. Much to Sasha’s chagrin. I don’t think she’s a fan.


But hey, I am! And so are you hopefully. Because if you ain’t, then you're most likely gonna stop reading this and leave me here with my thoughts. And I use my left hand for that in case you’re wondering.

So, how about I give you a list of the top five cult horror films of all time? Sound good? Okay, then. Let’s cut out the foreplay and get down to bussy.


Zombie Zane’s Top 5 Cult Horror Films of all Time.

5.  The Toxic Avenger (1984) This Troma film is one of my absolute favs! I remember being a little kid and sneaking up at like 2 a.m. to watch it. I’ve been a fan of this movie ever since. If you haven’t seen it, you should.

4.  Evil Dead II :Dead by Dawn (1987) ‘Let’s head on down into that cellar and carve ourselves a witch.’ Gotta love some Bruce Campbell. This is another movie that you must see.

3.  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Can’t have a cult horror movie list without this little gem. This movie is known for a ton of gore, but it’s really not as bloody as you may think.

2.  Faces of Death Volume 1 (1978) I remember this one too. Remember the tagline was something like, ‘Banned in 46 Countries!’

1.  The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) The title speaks for itself. Like I can sing most of the songs from this thing and damn near quote it verbatim. Fucking love it!


So see, if you’re not that familiar with cult horror, try giving these movies a watch. Or go see what Sasha’s writing about. She’s watching some pretty good cult horror films as well. So until the next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am outta here! Onward and upward.

Videodrome?? More like Video Drone By: Sasha Slaughter

Hey there fellow freakazoids...how's it hangin? Wait, don't answer that. Sasha Slaughter here with you for yet another dose of cult horror. What do I have in store for you today? Today I'll be telling you about a movie called Videodrome. Ever hear of it? Pfft..me either! Videodrome is a 1983 Canadian science fiction horror film. It was written and directed by David Cronenburg.  

Videodrome stars James Woods (as Max) and Deborah Harry (as Nicki). And for those of you who were a hardcore fan of Videodrome, there are talks of a remake in the works. Ehren Kruger is set to write the script and produce it with his film partner Daniel Bobker. It was scheduled to be released in 2011, but so far the film is said to be "still in development". Now that I've filled your brains with useless knowledge, now let me tell you a little about the movie!

Set in Toronto in the early 1980's, Videodrome follows Max, the CEO of a small cable company, who stumbles across a broadcast signal that features extreme torture and violence. A mind control conspiracy spirals out of control as Max uncovers the signal's source and loses touch with reality. Before the madness begins, Max is summoned to an office run by his friend Harlan, who operates his company's pirate satellite dish that can intercept broadcasts from all over the world. 

Harlan shows him something called Videodrome. It's a plotless television show thought to be from Malyasia which depicts brutal torture and the eventual murder of it's victims. Max orders Harlan to begin pirating the show to get more people to watch their station.

Max goes to Harlan's office to see how things are going and Harlan tells him that the signal is not from Malaysia, but from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He tells Max that the broadcaster used Malyasia as a ploy. Max tells Nicki, a sadomasochistic psychiatrist he's been dating, about the location of Videodrome and she goes to Pittsburgh to audition for the show. 

After Nicki fails to come back to Toronto, Max calls Masha, a feminist pornographer and asks her to help him find out about Videodrome. She ultimately tells him that not only is Videodrome real, but that it's also a political movement with violent goals. Max is determined to figure out what exactly Videodrome is and who created it and why. This leads him down a path that involves disturbing hallucinations and mind control by the head of Videodrome, Barry Convex. Max must decide to work with Videodrome, or against it.

Ohh sweet jesus! I am so glad that the movie is over. TOTAL SNOOZE FEST. I guess the director was trying to be all witty and confuse people, well guess what Cronenburg, it worked. I DON'T GET IT! I kinda think he worked a little to hard to confuse people, so much so that the movie didn't really make all that much sense...to me at least. 

I'm almost positive that this is the first David Cronenburg film that I've ever seen, so maybe that explains it. I don't really know his style, and I don't get it either. I sort of get the concept, but I gotta say, I didn't like it. The film did however manage to crate the same feeling of confusion that the main character felt, but I still wasn't impressed.

The special effects weren't all that great, but they were gross. And the giant slit in the dudes abdomen that was supposed to be VCR, well it pretty much looked like a giant vagina. GROSS. And the moaning and writhing inanimate objects didn't much for me either. Overall I'd give Videodrome a 1 out of 5. 

Yeah yeah, some people think it's a masterpiece by a genius director, whatever. I didn't. I was bored as hell. I pretty much wasted an hour and a half of my life that I could have spent eating muffins...or something. I definitely will not watch this movie again...NEVER. And while you're here listening to me babble, how about you mosey on over to Zane's part of the blog, I'm sure he's got something extra special, just for you. Thanks for stopping by DEH.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space?? Holy Shit!! By: Sasha Slaughter

Well hey there weirdos! I know you've been impatiently waiting for Zane and I to begin the week, so here we are! And now that we're here, we are going to be bringing you Cult Horror week. Oh yeah!! Now being the "new schooler" that I am, there are probably ALOT of cult horror movies that I've never heard of.

But I'm sure Zane is gonna teach me a little something this week. Anyway, in lieu of Cult Horror week, I'm going to be reviewing the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Killer Klowns is a 1988 comedy-horror movie. It was written by Charles and Stephen Chiodo and directed by Stephen Chiodo. And for those of you who are hardcore fans of the movie, the Chiodo brothers have recently revealed that a sequel will be made in 2012. WHAT WHAT?? Let me tell you a little about this cult classic, huh?

A race of aliens (who resemble evil clowns) comes to earth and plans to kill the humans to use as their sustenance. Young couple Debbie and Mike see what they believe is a shooting star, and Debbie insists that they go check it out. They soon stumble upon a huge circus tent in the middle of the woods. They decide to take a look inside and they find doors that lead to different parts of what the believe to be a circus. 

They find a room that is filled with cotton candy cocoons, and they realize that there are people inside of them. Scared, they race out of the room and try to find their way out of the tent. On their way out, they are spotted by a few of the klowns, but safely make it out, avoiding being hit by the Klowns popcorn. They explain what they saw to the police, but naturally the authorities are skeptical and don't believe their story.

Mike takes one of the officers to the tent (which just happens to be the klowns space ship), only to find that it is gone. On the way back to the station, the officer finds abandoned cars with the pink cotton candy substance in them that Mike was talking about. The klowns terrorize the city, capturing anyone in their path to take back to their ship. Meanwhile, the officer and Mike realize that Debbie had been taken by the Klowns and try desperately to find her. 

They run into Mike's friends, Rich and Paul Terenzi, who give them a ride in their ice cream truck. They go to the town amusement park, where they believe the klowns are hiding their ship and try to find Debbie. But little do they know that Paul and Rich just may be the key to them avoiding being captured by the Killer Klowns, and possibly destroying them too.....

Killer Klowns from space....what what? Is that getting old yet? Yes? Too damn bad! Ahh! This movie was awesome. It was one of the cheesiest, most awesome funny B movies I've seen! It was funny, it was spooky, and it was downright stupid, but I liked it. It's one of the movies that is so bad, it's actually kind of good. And the whole circus themed weapons thing was mucho creative. Popcorn that came to life and made little monster clown thingers, cotton candy cocoons to keep their victims in so they can drink their blood, and balloon animals and shadow puppets that came to life! HA! Too funny!

And might I add, I don't really have a fear of clowns, but hot damn, those clowns were hella creepy. They had weird giant faces, and gross teeth...*shudders* Ughh! They were gross...but they basically embodied everything that someone may fear about clowns. It was just a comical, laugh out loud cheese fest. Overall I'd give Killer Klowns from Outer Space a 4 out of 5. It was really amusing and the way they talked creeped me out. 

And the little short clown was soo cute! I wanted to hug him! Wait, is that weird? Anyway, I would absolutely watch this movie again....and again....and...you get the idea. And since you are here and stalking me, you might as well see what Zane's got going on this week! Thanks for stopping by.
