Fun Box Monster Podcast

Stop me if you've heard this one.. Zombie Hitler and Werewolf Eva Braughn live in an old house where they lure metal bands to their deaths. Their two little person grandchildren like to watch them have sex, and one of the little people is sometimes a person and sometimes a puppet. The puppet eventually eats himself. The band looks like Manowar and sounds like a watered down Air Supply. The zombies...

Here's a movie so weird and upsetting that I can't even figure out how to describe it. If you like VC Andrews...you'll probably be all over this weirdness. So, get yourself a Hitler Youth haircut and your finest medical dummy and join us for PIN! 

We join some murderous punkers who may be named Scratch and Gearbox, (possibly Earbox?) and Robert Z'Dar of Maniac Cop as they go on a killing and kidnap spree, based on a vague rumor of them having money? There's a film within a film...it's like torture porn that's too silly to get upset about...Add in about 50 full minutes of just walking around in the woods, plus two bookends that make no sense...

It's time to spin-out and boil your heads! So put on your priest robes, paste on that fake mustache and slip on your rubber Stan Laurel mask, because this week we're talking about New Year's Evil! Looks like Blaze (The First Lady of Rock...like I need to tell you) is in for a bad night when a mysterious murderer calling himself, "Evil" sets out to kill someone at the stroke of New Year's for every...

When hell is full, a single, non-articulated, rubber elf will roam the earth.  It's mouth will never close. It's arms will never bend. It's legs will never be seen with it's torso. Mostly it will jiggle. Dan (Grizzly Adams) Haggerty stars. And smokes. A bunch. In typical Christmas movie fashion, the plot mostly revolves around incestuous nazis trying to bring about the end of the world by mating a...

It's Thanksgiving! What better way to celebrate than to work those Abbadabbas with the eponymous "Jake" of Body By Jake fame!  He stars as a bodybuilding psychopathic serial killer on PCP who giggles like a kindergartener dealing out pro-wrestling style death to the unwitting idiots of a hacienda in maybe Mexico. Add to the mix a Rock and Roll Mime, and 6 other people so bland that their deaths do...

Get your poodle, your selection of Japanese demon children and join us in the county morgue for the feel good movie of 1991, The Boneyard. Phyllis Diller, Norman Fell and that dog that played Gonk in Elvira, Mistress of the Dark round out a cast of actual actors performing in a movie with a monstrous Poodle and a monstrous Phyllis Diller... This is one magical movie. 

Matt and Tristan look back with rose colored glasses at the 1987 disasterpiece Forever Evil. As The Birds is to Birdemic : Shock and Terror, Evil Dead is to Forever Evil. Shot on a relatively low budget, super ambitious, with some fun moments, fun characters and some pretty hilarious misses. An overall fun, silly eighties horror flick, that (coming in at about an hour and fifty minutes) probably c...

Ok... Sure there's not a lot to go on for this one, but we soldier through... Love this movie warts and all. Sets are the best, plus its full of Ghoulies. Some great actors giving it all for a movie about little goblin monsters that sometimes eat people's asses. 

We talk about the classic film, Tourist Trap. If you've never seen it, just picture Scooby Doo meets Saw, and you won't be far off. 

Hey squids! Go down the line with us on this trip to the magical year of 1985 where beef is plentiful, and LA isn't yet a flooded hellscape. So slick back your hair and put on your finest overcoat for our in-depth analysis of Charles Band's classic film, "Trancers". 

Stretchy armed cyborgs who look like they're at the Revenge of the Nerds battle of the bands? 2 villains who had to share the same costume so they were never in the same shot together? Space Shuttle Sex Murders? All this and more on this week's Fun Box Monster Podcast! (*technical note...we recorded this on the computer's internal mic this week... sorry for the poor audio quality)

We talk about the 1988 film, Bad Dreams, usually written off as a rip-off of Nightmare on Elm Street 3, (by me at the beginning of the podcast as well...I backpedal pretty quickly though...) but is a pretty fine film in its own right. Starring the always amazing Richard Lynch, and Dean Cameron (AKA Chainsaw from Summer School...) it's a who's-who of B movie actors with great kills, great effects,...

Matt and Tristan are joined by Damian Maffei AKA The Man in the Mask from Strangers : Prey at Night, to talk about the impossible to find horror classic (?) Iced. Damian chose this, so its his fault. The movie is a tough one to get through, so let us help. Its out there on Youtube...or you could pay $100 for a VHS copy. 

People being turned into demons, people turned into dolls and exploded, people eaten by cow skulls and a kung-fu magician. Its all part of the wonderful world of Demon Wind. Tristan and Matt try to dispose of abandoned plot threads, and make sense of this 1990 classic. 

Out of the darkness and into the light... we discuss the much maligned Jim Wynorski classic 976-Evil 2. We promise that this isn't just a Wynorski podcast, it just happened that we talked about it last time, and got really stoked to watch it again. Which was a great idea, because its a crazy-fun movie. 

The first ever Fun Box Monster Podcast about "Hard to Die" AKA Sorority House Massacre 3 and all things Jim Wynorski. Probably the only horror movie I can think of where the hero is the unkillable lumbering backwoods maniac.
