No-Budget Nightmares

YOU ASKED FOR IT! YOU GOT IT! It’s a Something Weird (and Moe Porne) favorite, 1969’s DRACULA (THE DIRTY OLD MAN), featuring all manners of rubber bats, sexual assault, and a soundtrack full of lame jokes recorded to make up for its unusable original audio! You also get Irving Jackalman, sex through pants, and some of the most uncomfortable dirty talk you’re likely to ever hear a...

Take a splash of THE EVIL DEAD, a pinch of 1977’s HOUSE (aka HAUSU), and a whole lot of BODY BUILDING and you have something resembling the Japanese microbudget horror comedy BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER IN HELL. Filmed on 8mm back in 1995, it wasn’t completed until 2009 and didn’t get an official release until 2012, and despite all those timeline shenanigans, it’s still fun...

Look, we get it. That title is pretty rough. Also, this is a Bill Zebub film, so you know it’s likely going to be awful. We at No-Budget Nightmares understand that some will be rightfully put off by such an extreme title, though the film in no way reflects the language of that title. There’s no Jesus. There’s no rape. Also, an HOUR of the movie is a SLIDESHOW OF IMAGES. SERIOUSLY...

Exploding dongs. SO MANY EXPLODING DONGS. 2011’s THE TAINT is a bad taste smörgåsbord, gleefully crossing the line at every opportunity with its unique mixture of quirky humor, bodily fluids, shockingly slick FX and a tremendous synth soundtrack. But IS IT ANY GOOD? Let your good friends Moe and Doug decide! Or not! We’re not your parents! Also included is our big ROBOT NINJA announcem...

MOVIE! MOVIE! MOVIE! MOVIE!

After ANOTHER lengthy sabbatical, NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES RETURNS! For the first episode of 2018, Moe and Doug go deep on a film featuring murder, masturbation, necrophilia and ventriloquism!

HO HO HO! MERRY NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES CHRISTMAS! This year’s holiday special features Scott Shaw’s immortal SAMURAI VAMPIRE BIKERS FROM HELL, the film that brought the revolutionary concept of ZEN FILM-MAKING to the world, and one that somehow manages to be tedious, incomprehensible AND less than an hour long! Enjoy the opportunity to hear both Moe and Doug slowly lose their minds as th...

It’s NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES: THE NEXT GENERATION! After crossing the 100th episode threshold, we’re back with 1991’s EXCEEDINGLY GORY SOV possession movie SOUL OF THE DEMON!

Want m...

NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES returns with another Canuxploitation classic featuring ALIENS, ZOMBIES, NEW WAVE MUSIC, and LOTS MORE! It’s 1982’s BIG MEAT EATER and it’s as crazy as a sci-fi/horror/comedy/musical gets, and – get this – it’s actually pretty GOOD!
