Conrad Brooks is hereby declared the worst actor, director, and producer since his mentor, Ed Wood went to the great cutting room in the sky. Brooks has been in over 200 films, and this duo (the first of which is dedicated to Wood and Tor Johnson) are two recent entries (from 1999 and 2001). The movies are the twenty-first century touchstone for bad movie aficionados such as myself. Both films are short, incomprehensible, feature non-actors failing to act, no sets, costumes, or production values…

Jerry Warren (Incredible Petrified World, Teenage Zombies) is to horror movie directing what Godzilla is to urban renewal! No one should have ever allowed him to pick up a camera, not even as a joke! FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND is quite possibly the nadir of all schlock-o-matic film-making. It's certainly the worst thing Warren himself ever unleashed upon us. Plot?? Well, 4 bumpkins crash their hot-air balloon into the ocean, only to wash ashore on the title island. They are soon joined by alien babes…

From somnambulist kidnappers stalking the streets of an expressionist nightmare to an ambulatory alien vegetable terrorising the crew of a futuristic spaceship, fantasy and horror film has explored every facet of human (and not so human) nature. From the earliest days of cinema, visions of blood-thirsty vampires, musty mummies, fanged wolf men, invisible men, insane phantoms and bolt-necked patchwork monstrosities have stalked, stomped, crept and lurched their way across popular consciousness. In…

Parasite (Charles Band, 1982) I only know about this pile of dung because Exodus wrote a song about it a couple of years after its release, and because of that I've always kind of half-wanted to see it; I didn't know until I fired it up that it was the breeding ground of one of the eighties' hottest stars, Demi Moore. But neither my abiding love for Exodus (and especially the Pleasures of the Flesh album, from which "Parasite" hails) nor my respect for the eighties acting…

These 15 rare and bizarre films, spanning four decades, are sure to amaze, intrigue, unsettle, and bewilder family and friends for years to come! The Terror of Tiny Town…
