SHITFEST 2013 ENTRY 15: NAIL GUN MASSACRE (1985)

May 13, 2013 by theipc

Entry by: WIDE WEIRD WORLD OF CULT FILMS Nail Gun Massacre (1985) Director: Terry Lofton Stars: Rocky Patterson, Ron Queen, and Beau Leland This low budget flick from Texas starts off with a good old fashioned gang rape. From there, no time is wasted as people show up only to be picked off by duct taped motorcycle helmet wearing, nail gun toting nutcase who spouts off such corny one liners, I would have requested a couple of nails for each […]

SHITFEST 2013 ENTRY 14: SPOOKIES (1986)

May 13, 2013 by theipc

Entry by: DEEP RED RUM Spookies (1986) Nine people who don’t like each other, and who don’t seem to have much in common besides all having been kicked out of the same event earlier, decide to party in an abandoned mansion, but they soon come to believe that playing with a Ouija board they find in the living room is the reason various monsters show up to stalk and kill them. By the way, it is an established horror movie […]

SHITFEST 2013 ENTRY 13: MOTHER’S DAY (1980)

May 12, 2013 by theipc

Entry by: HARD TICKET TO HOME VIDEO HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!! MOTHER’S DAY (1981) Trailer: What’s It About: I’ll keep this synopsis brief since this film really doesn’t bring in anything new to the horror/slasher genre. This Troma classic was filmed at the same time as the original Friday the 13th (at the same New Jersey forest location too!) and is more akin to a terrorized-girls-seek-revenge flick like I Spit on Your Grave rather than a straight-up horror picture like the Friday the 13th series. Directed by Charlie […]

THE CHANGELING (1980) FOUR TOP HATS

April 9, 2013 by theipc

I have never claimed to know anything about anything (and no one ever tells me nothin’), so I can’t go out and say that this is a “classic” or anything, but I think it’s held in high regards. Or is it “regard”? I don’t know anything. Anyway – I liked this movie. A lot of the shit that comes out these days is pretty stupid (but not EVIL DEAD!!!) and I miss old horror movies like this ~ you just […]

VISITING HOURS (1982) THREE FARTS

March 20, 2013 by theipc

Farts, eh….. -_-…. read on! Well…….. here’s another one I missed during my childhood – and that rather surprises me since it has The Shat in it! Not that The Shat is The Shit or anything (I was always a Spock guy) but I used to try and catch things with people from Trek and Star Wars because I was a kid and didn’t think anyone would be in anything else. Stupid kid!! I don’t feel like I really missed […]

MY GUEST POST @ FILM HIPSTER: MANIAC (1980)

March 15, 2013 by theipc

Not too long ago Chris approached me about being a Hipster For A Day and I said “Absolutely, but I’m not wearing any skinny jeans!! Or a scarf!!” He said that was a deal breaker – but since we never see each other in person he shouldn’t have any idea of what I’m wearing today. Or any day for that matter! Anyway – I thought I’d spice up filmhipster with a little saucy 80s horror – in his format. Enjoy!! Click any word here to head to […]

THE PROWLER (1981) THREE TOP HATS

March 6, 2013 by theipc

I don’t remember what I was doing at the time, or where I was, or who sent me what, but I remember there was kind of a big deal (at least in whatever circle I was hanging around at the time) when this got released on blu-ray. I had no idea why because I had never seen it or even heard about it, but that was a couple of years ago (I think) and I never bothered with it until […]

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS (1987) ~ LEG WARMERS, BUSHY EYEBROWS, BAD DREAMS AND….. DOKKEN

March 2, 2013 by theipc

I have come out here before and admitted that I have never seen many of these movies. I remember my mom and I went to see the first one in the theater and sometime later in my life SCROTEY and I watched the second one on video tape at his mom’s house. I honestly don’t know why but I never saw any of the others until I watched the remake on cable last year, which I didn’t hate – but I think […]

HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT 2 (1987) FOUR BOW TIES

February 25, 2013 by theipc

I don’t know if anyone else has seen this, and I don’t know if anyone’s going to believe me, but this movie was ALL KINDS OF FUN!! Probably, if anyone else has had the pleasure of seeing this at some point in their life – they’ll probably disagree with me but I thought this was a great example of 80′s slasher material with big hair, bushy eyebrows, boobs, tiaras, zombies - solid acting for a movie like this – boobs (what??), blood, […]

PROM NIGHT (1980) THREE TOP HATS

February 22, 2013 by theipc

This was actually my very first viewing of this Canadian slasher and I can’t really come out and say that I loved it. I think – think – that I might have liked this better if: I had seen this when I was a kid I had seen this when I was a teenager I had seen this before we humans developed HD and Blu Ray and High Def TVs The copy I had – from this “eight pack of […]

WHAT THE HELL?: HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER 2 (1988) THREE STICKPINS

January 23, 2013 by theipc

Well, Good and Most Beloved Readers, if you read my post about the FIRST ONE, you’ll recall that I have never seen any of the sequels, so I went into this pretty blind so, if you’re a big fan of this franchise, please don’t hate me if I don’t like them very much – I didn’t grow up with them like I did the HALLOWEENs or the FRIDAYs. I DO have to report that I liked this one more than […]

HELLRAISER (1987) THREE STICKPINS

January 2, 2013 by theipc

Is this considered a Classic?? Am I a heretic because I didn’t love it? To my defense – I saw this in the theater with ole LIL PEE PEE back when it came out and, while I don’t remember his reaction, I wasn’t that impressed. In fact I was so not-that-impressed that I have never seen ANY of the sequels. What – are there eight sequels? Nine with that new one? Anyway – I have been wanting to do another […]

THE 2ND ANNUAL: NEW YEAR’S EVIL (1980) TWO TOP HATS

December 31, 2012 by theipc

This is year two for this post and this one is kind of special to me.This movie is not very good but this was the first post of mine to ever get tweeted and facebooked and be – I don’t know – it kind of made me feel good like – I had let myself into the party and now someone was talking to me. Back when I published this the first time, I didn’t really know what I was […]

THE IPC DOUBLE TAKE ~ FEATURING MARKED MOVIES: RAISING ARIZONA (1987)

December 24, 2012 by theipc

I have no idea why I have had writer’s block regarding this movie for so long.., it’s only one of MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER! Mark and I talked about this a month ago and I watched it for the thousandth time and still laughed my ass off and then I just got stuck. I think it’s because I didn’t really know how to approach this classic. Should I just do my usual shtick and throw in some personal memories? Should […]

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984) FOUR SANTA HATS

December 14, 2012 by theipc

Here’s part 2 of our big double feature for the day!! Enjoy!! AHHHHHHHH – Silent Night, Deadly Night…. one of my childhood favorites!! Do you know that I actually saw this at a Drive – In?? No lie!! The last one I ever went to. So, for those of you who follow the DRIVE IN site – YOU KNOW I’m gonna put something out there about this too, although it will probably be much more… racy. So, yep, saw this […]

THE CHURCH (1989) THREE TOP HATS

November 27, 2012 by theipc

Apologies for those of you who got an email on this the day I was initially working on it. I have no idea what happened. I was adding some names in the tag field, turned to look at my other computer and WHAM my post was published… whatever! Anyway – it’s post-holiday and post-birthday here in the U.S. and I when I was getting ready for work today I noticed the waistband for my pants sure have shrunk, damn washing […]

GIALLORAMA! TENEBRE (1982) FOUR BIG TOP HATS

November 21, 2012 by theipc

I fully recognize and realize and understand that I am years behind good folks like GOREGIRL and WEDNESDAY’S CHILD when it comes to Italian horror movies – and I bow to their superiority, but I am doing my best to hone up on my studies and absorb like a sponge and write my reports as best I can. I don’t remember how many I’ve seen by now – but I think this is the best one yet. I still don’t […]

NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (1986) FIVE EXPLODING HEADS ~ NOSTALGIATHON

November 14, 2012 by theipc

This white paper is part of a blogathon envisioned by ANDY WATCHES MOVIES and CINEMA SCHMINEMA who felt it would be fun to revisit some of the movies we loved as kids, through our adult eyes. This was good fun and it was the perfect opportunity for me to re-watch something I consider one of my favorite movies and something I’ve probably watched 800 times since I first saw this way back when. Not only is this hilarious, it’s gory, it’s filled […]

POLTERGEIST (1982) FOUR TOP HATS

November 12, 2012 by theipc

For some reason, the other weekend was a total 80s revisit at Isaacs House with a viewing of THE TERMINATOR, RED DAWN and this. The Term still stood out as a pretty good movie – as did this – but Red Dawn pretty much sucked it. The acting was terrible, the dialogue wasn’t so great, they changed locations (and costumes) in the same scene quite often, blah, blah, blah, etc. etc. Like I wrote in LOGAN’S RUN (which is very […]

NIGHTMARES (1980) THREE TOP HATS

November 5, 2012 by theipc

(please note: this was written the other night and not this morning…) I had never even heard of this slasher until today – have you?? This started off really excellent – like – all kinds of fun and then it got a little boring up until the very end. Honestly – aside from the slasher premise behind this, this Ozploitation really doesn’t make any fucking sense at all but it does have some pretty bloody kills and isn’t afraid to show some […]

THE IPC DOUBLE TAKE ~ FEATURING MARKED MOVIES: ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981)

October 1, 2012 by theipc

I don’t exactly remember the events surrounding MARKED MOVIES and I planning on doing this, but I imagine it had something to do with my awe of his writing skills (especially his fucking awesome SIT DOWN SERIES) – but I asked him if he would be interested and I told him I’d buy him some shots if I ever run into him in person and we agreed on “Escape” which we both haven’t seen in a long time and here […]

THE IPC DOUBLE TAKE # 2 ~ FEATURING HEAD IN A VICE: BLADE RUNNER (1982)

I was doing some email talking to my friend Tyson at HEAD IN A VICE a few several weeks ago and we were discussing my involvement in his IMDB TOP 250 project and I agreed to do ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST (as well as something else hint hint) and he offered up a guest review here in exchange for my services (everyone is ALWAYS encouraged to do a guest review here if you like to – I would […]

THE FOG (1980) FOUR TOP HATS

September 3, 2012 by theipc

So how long has it ben since you’ve seen this bad boy? I’m betting on quite a while. I’m not sure when this will get published but, earlier today, I started doing a write up of {NOT POSTED YET CAN’T SPOIL} for a special piece that will hopefully have published before now but, in it, I mentioned that it sure is different seeing something that you loved as kid 30 years later and look at with new / old eyes […]

BREEDERS (1986) THREE TOP HATS

August 25, 2012 by theipc

I don’t normally post on one of the weekend days to give you Good People a break, but, wait. We very rarely ever “go out” any longer mainly because I just prefer to do my beer drinking at home and, because it’s much cheaper, but last night a friend was in town so we went and hit happy hour at the local Fox and Hound and that REALLY DID turn into a six hour stay and a 167 dollar bar […]
