City of the Living Dead along with House by the Cemetery are the first two Italian horror films I saw as a kid. The gore, music, and horrible dubbing were the first things I noticed. My first thoughts were that these were definitely not American films and…they were fucking awesome! Italian horror is absolutely gorgeous in so many ways. The music is interesting and dramatic, the gore is disgusting and creative and most are just visually stunning.

City Of The Living Dead (1980)
Also known as Gates of Hell, this film is about a priest who commits suicide which causes the gates of hell to open and the dead to rise. The main characters of the film, Katriona MacColl and Christopher George, must close the gates before All Saints Day. If they don’t, the dead will rise, walk the earth and kill the living.

Cover up your mirrors and stay out of that mausoleum, it’s double feature time!!! This month’s double feature are actually the first two horror flicks I ever saw as a kid. I absolutely love them and don’t care how corny they are, they’re  both great 80’s fun!!

The Boogey Man (1980)
This movie is basically about a young girl, Lacey, who witnesses her brother murder a man through the reflection of a mirror. Twenty years later, after the mirror has been shattered, Lacey must defeat the man‘s evil spirit that has been set free and is seeking revenge through the shards of glass.

Though this movie is very low budget, the death scenes are creative and fun, the story is not too bad and the music is very interesting. There are seriously some cheesy scenes in this movie but it definitely makes it fun and worth watching.

One Dark Night (1983)
In this movie, a young girl must stay all night in a mausoleum as part of her initiation. Entombed in the same mausoleum is Raymar, a man who possessed telekinetic powers. Using his powers, Raymar returns and commands the undead to awaken and start killing bitches!

What I absolutely love about this film are the end scenes with the gorgeous decaying bodies and the various shots of the mausoleum. The lighting is perfectly eerie and the music is odd and creepy.

I first saw these concrete dinosaurs back in 1987 or 88 when I was a little kid. At that time, they were not in great condition but they were still painted green and from what I remember, you could still see their painted faces. I recently returned and am surprised that they’ve held up as well as they have. However, most of them are completely bleached out and more and more parts of them are collapsing with each year.

Built around the early 70’s by Lonnie Coffman, the dinosaurs were meant to be part of a miniature golf course. However, his vision never completely materialized and the dinosaur golf course was abandoned.

I’m assuming the ones that are legless were probably meant to be partially covered in water.

The Pink Angels 1971
So basically this about a group of gay bikers that are traveling to Los Angeles to attend a cotillion. Of course, they meet a lot of crazy people along the way and get into some trouble. I absolutely love this flick, it’s funny, the lead biker is hot and it’s just fun and wacky. The opening credits are really nicely shot as well….just a random thought.

Run, Angel, Run! 1969
Here is another biker flick that rules! This one is about Angel, a biker who is on the run with his girlfriend. After giving a revealing story about his gang to Life magazine, Angel and his old lady go on the run to avoid getting their asses wasted by Angel’s biker buddies. This one has a little love story going on which makes it different from most biker flicks. It has more heart, character and some corny ass lines. Also, the split and multi-screen parts during the chase scene are just too damn AWESOME!!!

Race with the Devil

I absolutely love films where the main characters can’t trust anyone. After witnessing a murder, Peter Fonda and Warren Oates are chased and terrorized by a town of devil worshippers. Of course, all they can do is try to get the hell away from them and when that doesn’t work, they fight back. This movie has the most bad ass chase scenes in an R.V. that I’ve ever seen! Check this one out!

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day, by Charles Kaufman, is a cheap, filthy, repulsive and awesome movie! Because it’s a low budget film, it’s creative!!! In this flick, a group of women on a camping trip are captured and tortured by a woman and her crazy, psychotic sons. The torture scenes are brutal and sick and the revenge scenes are fun and inventive. Definitely give this one a try. And……watch out for Queenie!!!!!
