Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 23 - TROMA - Double feature

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

In this episode Adam and Mark take on two Troma classics where the schools teach readin’, writin' and radiation! and the beaches have become battlefields... the waves are a war zone! Listeners and losteners brace yourselves for Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) and Surf Nazis Must Die (1987).

Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) - When Warren and Chrissy notice some strange things happening around their high school, when the pupils start acting and looking strange after buying contaminated drugs from a nuclear plant worker. They begin to suspect that something is going on at the nuclear plant next door. Though the plant officials deny that there are any problems, Crissy gives birth to a bloodthirsty mutant who immediately begins eating everyone in the school. Will Warren and Chrissy be able to stop their killer kid?

Factoids

• The Monster is never seen in a full shot as the entire costume was never finished. They only had bits and pieces that were used as a puppet (hands, face, legs etc.)

• When Dewey lands on the pavement in the opening scene, the first man to walk up to him is a shocked, bearded man, played by Troma co-founder and producer Michael Herz in his only on-screen performance ever.

•  When Chrissy goes to the hospital, you can hear over the loudspeaker "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard". These are the names Moe, Larry, and Curly take in certain episodes of the Three Stooges. - From the short Men in Black; which was released September 28th, in 1934.

•   Spike (Bob Prichett) has mop strings hanging from his left shoulder. Certainly a reference to Toxie.

Surf Nazis Must Die (1987) - When the son of a gun-wielding woman is murdered by neo-Nazi surf punks in the post-apocalyptic future, his Mama hunts them down for some bloodthirsty revenge. Possibly the best title ever... An earthquake leaves the California coastline in ruins and reduces the beaches to a state of chaos.

A group of neo-Nazis led by Adolf (Brenner), the self-proclaimed "Führer of the new beach", takes advantage of the resulting chaos by fighting off several rival surfer gangs to seize control of the beaches. Meanwhile, an oil well worker named Leroy (Harden) is killed by the surf Nazis while jogging on the beach. Leroy's mother, "Mama" Washington (Neely), devastated by the loss of her son, vows revenge.  After arming herself with a handgun and grenades, she breaks out of her retirement home and exacts vengeance on the Surf Nazis. For, amongst other things, the excellent synth soundtrack by Jon McCallum, for having a character called "smeg",for the hilariously obvious shock shots of the sky, surf and the bunker area, and for the immortal line "taste some of mommas home cooking Adolf", this films deserves 10 out of 10.

Factoids

Surf Nazis Must Die was criticised by reviewers as boring and hard to follow, and its acting, dialogue, and camerawork were widely panned. Janet Maslin wrote "Not even the actors' relatives will find this interesting." Roger Ebert stated that he walked out of the film after 30 minutes.

Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 22 - Troma - The Toxic Avenger

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

Episode 22

Troma - The Toxic Avenger

In this episode Adam and Mark take a short stroll through Tromaville, the home of New Jersey's greatest hero and location of Troma's greatest contribution to cinema - The Toxic Avenger. Join them as they discuss this genuinely funny poke at superheroes and monster movies, delivered with a healthy dose of cheap gags, splattery special effects, and T&A.

The Toxic Avenger, set in Tromaville, NJ, is about Melvin Ferd, a meek nerd, who works as a janitor at a health club. While he is of no threat to anyone, psychotic health club patrons: Bozo, Slug, Wanda, and Julie bully the kid because he doesn’t look pretty like them, and isn’t as smart as they are.

When the four aren’t tormenting little Melvin, they are busy screwing each other, or running over little boys on bicycles with their bitchen Camero; squishing their little heads. It’s the only way Bozo is able to relieve the stress of his life.

Eventually, the the four manage to humiliate Melvin to the point where he jumps out of a second story window at the health club, and into a barrel of toxic waste conveniently sitting open on a flatbed truck in front of the club. The toxic waste sets Melvin on fire, but also transforms him into a super-sized superhero/vigilante with a delightful voice.

Factoids

Toxic crusaders

• Look for future Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei as an extra (coming out of a shower)

• Two less successful sequels, The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie, were filmed as one. Director Lloyd Kaufman realized that he had shot far too much footage for one film and re-edited it into two.

• A third independent sequel was also released, titled Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.

• An animated children's TV series spin-off, Toxic Crusaders, featured Toxie as the leader of a team of mutated superheroes who fought against evil alien polluters. The cartoon series was short-lived and quickly cancelled. 

• New Line Cinema had planned a live-action film based on the cartoon, but the project was never produced.[

• In 2019, it was announced that Legendary Entertainment would be producing a reboot of the film, with original creators Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Entertainment serving as producers, and Macon Blair serving as writer and director.

Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 21 -TROMA - Tromeo and Juliet

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

Episode 21

TROMA - Tromeo and Juliet

In this episode Adam and Mark visit the seedy underground of Manhattan courtesy of the masters of schlock TROMA. In this masterful modern day adaption of Shakespeare’s well-loved classic Romeo and Juliet. Troma presents Tromeo and Juliet with all the body-piercing, kinky sex, and car crashes that Shakespeare wanted but never had! Join Adam, Mark, Tromeo, Juliet, and Lemmy of Motorhead as they search for climactic love, violence, and the American Way.

This movie is truly unique. It really captures the spirit of the play. However, like with most Troma flicks, it’s totally self aware, in your face, features taboo subjects, revels in gore and sex. There are some hilarious jokes in the credits (best credits I've seen since Hot Shots) loads of Troma in jokes as well as general satire and Shakespeare refs. There is some half decent acting, Lemmy from the house of Motorhead narration, stars the legendary Tromette Debbie Rochon and a Shakespeare plot, it is Troma at its best. Though its not the sort of film you'd watch with your mum, and will offend most people. For anybody bored with run of the mill cinema, with a wacky sense of humour you MUST SEE THIS FILM

Tromeo and Juliet is also notable for its soundtrack, composed of alternative rock, pop punk and heavy metal music, which helped get the film some recognition on MTV. Most bands were willing to contribute their tracks for little to no money out of respect for Troma. In return for their song "Mr. Superlove", The Ass Ponys' lead singer requested only a check from the company for $9.95, for the purpose of framing it on his wall.The CD soundtrack was released on Oglio Records on May 6, 1997 and included the following tracks:"Sacrifice" by Motörhead and other artists including: The Meatmen, Superchunk, Supernova & Sublime.

Factoids

• James Gunn writer Guardians of the Galaxy was paid $150 for the screenplay.

• The footage of the car flipping over is recycled for many Troma films including Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990), Terror Firmer (1999), and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000).

• Debbie Rochon has starred in over 250 movies from 1982 to 2020

• Posters for various other Troma films are visible throughout both households.

• Despite many claims, the film is not entirely in iambic pentameter. a line of verse with five metrical feet, each consisting of one short (or unstressed) syllable followed by one long (or stressed) syllable, for example Two households, both alike in dignity.

Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 18 - 2020 Texas Gladiators

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

Episode 18

2020 Texas Gladiators

In this Episode Adam and Mark discuss 2020 Texas Gladiators, directed by none other than top sleaze/horror master Joe D'Amato, Starring Al Cliver, Al Yamanouchi & Sabrina Siani. Their main aim is to see if D’mata was a clairvoyant and how close his 1983 prediction was of the state of America in 2020.

In Texas in 2020, degenerate villains raid a monastery in which pretty Maida took refuge, when five roving Rangers show up. The battle-hardened men quickly succeed in repelling the attackers and restoring order. However, during the incident, one of her saviours named Catch Dog falls into disgrace as he tries to rape Maida. He is eventually rejected by his comrades. Later, Ranger Nexus separates from his friends, taking Maida with him. Five years later, Nexus and Maida live with their little daughter a seemingly safe life in the settlement of Free Town. In addition to basic services, the community operates a power plant and uranium mine. The village's energy reserves soon lure in dark outlaws. One day, disaster strikes as Catch Dog manages to bring down Free Town with his gang. Catch Dog himself acts on behalf of the "Black One", a totalitarian ruler who subjugates the population with his thugs. In an attempt to resist, Nexus dies. The able-bodied men are enslaved and used as labourers in the uranium production, the women are sold to different bars in the area. At some point, the three remaining Rangers meet Maida and set her free from her master, a gambler. The three encounter and manage to enlist the help of an indigenous tribe. Ultimately, the Rangers and the recruited warriors succeed in taking back Free Town. The regime of terror is overthrown. Both Catch Dog and Black One are killed, and in the midst of combat, also one of the Ranger succumbs to his injuries. In the end, Maida and her daughter can expect a happier future. The two remaining Rangers leave.

Factoids

• In a 1996 interview, D'Amato stated that Eastman "didn't feel confident enough in the action scenes and so I dealt with those, leaving him to the direction of the actors. B

• D'Amato received directing credit, although Eastman directed most of the dialogue scenes according to D'Amato

• Eastman also stated in 1996, that "These (post-atomic) films, which were made in the wake of the various Mad Max movies, were decidedly crummy. The set designs were poor....and the genre met a swift and well-deserved death. I only wrote these awful movies for financial reasons.... no attempt at originality was made at all."

The film has been released under several titles, including 

·       Anno 2020: I Gladiatori del Futuro( lit. Year 2020 Gladiators of the Future), 

·       Futoro, 2020: Freedom Fighters, 

·       2020: The Rangers of Texas and Sudden Death

Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 16 – Metalsploitation - Trick or Treat

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show exploring the vast undiscovered cultural wastelands as a creative pursuit. Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

Episode 16

Metalsploitation - Trick or Treat

In this episode Adam and Mark turn their attention to the 1986 Metalsploitation masterpiece – Trick or Treat. Starring Skippy of Family Ties and featuring special guest appearances by rock superstars Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne and a dynamic heavy metal soundtrack by Fastway. Listen in as they explain why they believe Trick or Treat a metal horror classic.

A semi-outcast high school kid and metal head Eddie Weinbauer (Marc Price - Family Ties -Skippy) is bullied by the popular crowd and is compelled to get revenge. After the death of his heavy metal idol Sammi Curr (Tony Fields- former Solid Gold Dancer) a devastated Eddie, discovers he can enlists the aid of the dead satanic rock star, through the backmasking a demo of Curr's unleased album. But as Hallowe'en night approaches shit gets outta hand and Eddie is the only one that can stop Sammi from making a satanic comeback from beyond the grave. A coming-of-age metalsploitation flick that mixes elements of "Christine" (1983), "Carrie" (1976) and the first Nightmare on elm street movies, but it strangely never attained the popularity of those films, which still doesn’t explains why there was never a sequel.

Trick Or Treat is a fine example of Hollywood jumping on the "backwards messages in metal music" bandwagon that Tipper Gore and her Washington Wives kick-started the satanic panic in the mid-'80.

This is a great movie if viewed in the proper context - It was meant to be a parody of teen-horror-devil-worship movies (and the '80s saw plenty of them) it is a particular stand out in the metalsploitation genre as it has great cameos by Gene Simmons and Ozzy.

Highlights

• All songs in the movie are performed by the band "Fastway" which was formed by - Motorhead Guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke, and bassist Pete Way, formerly of UFO.and current "Flogging Molly" vocalist Dave King.

• Features - A brief clip with Ozzy Osbourne as Rev. Aaron Gilstrom which he adlibbed also appears after the end credits.

• Gene Simmons has a cameo as the radio DJ, Nuke. He did so as a way to pay tribute to his idol Wolfman Jack. He actually passed on playing the role of Sammi Curr.

• The hellhound Skeezix was made by FX guru Kevin Yagher who also worked on Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) and Chucky in the "Child's Play" films

• Directed by Charles Martin Smith, most know as an actor in American Graffiti and The Untouchables – but also directed Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Welcome to the Hellmouth (1997) Air Bud (1997)

Wastelands Radio Show - Episode 15 – Metalsploitation - Hard Rock Zombies

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show exploring the vast undiscovered cultural wastelands as a creative pursuit. Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O -Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

Episode 15

Metalsploitation - hard Rock Zombies

In this episode Adam and Mark rip through their next Metalsploitation instalment -the video nasty Hard Rock Zombies. This distasteful horror comedy rock musical entry to the sub-genre features hicks, rubes, werewolves, murderous dwarves, sex perverts, and Hitler and that’s all in the first 10 minutes.

In the 80’s, rock music and horror movies went together like acid washed jeans and feathered hair. The trouble is, even though many horror movies had awesome rock soundtracks, the movies that specifically featured rock musician characters as heroes or villains varied wildly in quality. Although the rock horror movie has mostly gone the way of the 80’s, I’m not sure any other type of music will ever have such a successful love affair with horror.

A nameless hard rock band who for some reason have the key broadest from Kraftwerk whose music can raise the dead, travel to that town out of footloose for an auditions with a big record executive, unfortunately Hitler now lives there and they fall prey to his entourage of mutant dwarfs, a flick knife wielding werewolf, a maniac with a wiper sniper and blonde sexy psychopath. They are then resurrected by a 14 year old groupie by who plays one of their songs at their graves the lyrics of which were taken from the Necronomicon and they take undead revenge on their killers 

That takes us to the half way point after which it starts to get weird. Actually it doesn’t get any weirder, that would be impossible. It just becomes less coherent.

The first part is mental but at least it makes sense in the context of the movie- the band arrives in town, gets murdered, is resurrected and takes revenge. That’s a complete story – problem is there is still 45 minutes to go.

So the bad guys now get back up again as undead ghouls and attack the town. While the zombie band go through with their audition. It’s important that the audition is there it kinda ties things up but the rest is hilariously pointless and it really leads to some very very strange places.

Highlights / Lowlights

The film starts off promisingly, quickly scoring points for gratuitous use of both nudity and dwarfs,

But rapidly becomes a jaw-dropping bad mish-mash of musical interludes and inept gore (courtesy of FX man John Carl Buechler),

Interspersed with moments of complete insanity: an old man (later to be revealed as Hitler) his wife; the old lady turns into a werewolf;

The hitch-hiker dances by herself for no reason in the desert;

One dwarf eats himself;

The band survives an electrocution while practising; and one guy momentarily avoids being eaten by pretending to be a zombie (beating Shaun of the Dead to the joke by a couple of decades).

Episode 14

Jon Mikl Thor - Rock n Roll Nightmare

In this episode Adam and Mark kick of their three part discussion on the topic of 80s metal/ rock horror movies, or Metalploitation. First Cab of the rank is the 80’s Canadian god of hair metal and champion body builder Jon Mikl Thor and his Self-produced disaster-piece Rock’ N Roll Nightmare from 1987.

Back in the 70’s JMT was a very successful athlete, as a bodybuilder, he was the first Canadian to win both the Mr. Canada and Mr. USA titles. During his bodybuilding career, he has achieved over 40 titles around the world. 

If this wasn’t weird enough as a musician, he fronted the heavy metal band Thor, billing himself as "The Legendary Rock Warrior". JMT started touring in 1973. The band was first known as "Mikl Body Rock" and "Thor and the Imps" before deciding on the name THOR.

He combined strength feats, props, costumes and showmanship with music such as bending solid steel bars in his teeth and having solid concrete blocks smashed off his chest with a sledgehammer. THOR toured Canada and the USA throughout the 1970s and 1980s. 

If the idea of a bodybuilding metal lord still isn’t enough for you, In 1986 JMT retired from live performances and started to write and produce films.

In the 80’s metal and horror went together like acid washed jeans and feathered hair. The trouble was, even though many horror movies had awesome rock soundtracks, the movies that specifically featured rock musician characters as heroes or villains varied wildly in quality and generally resulted in outcomes that were so bad they were good and often unintentionally funny. This is definitely the case with Rock n Roll Nightmare.

In Rock n Roll Nightmare an 80's metal band go to an old house to record an album. It's possessed, and demons that strangely enough resemble drug addicted gutter muppets start killing people. In between death scenes the band rocks out and washes a lot of dishes.

Thor himself wrote and produced the film and soundtrack. That's really all you need to know, because nothing else in the movie makes a lick of sense. The direction, acting, special effects, and script are absolute hilarious pieces of trash. 

That's what allows Thor's stage presence to really shine. It's really just a long music-video that has a horror story thrown in. The music is classic, if you like that style, and if you don't you shouldn't be watching it in the first place.. If you love comic books, glam metal, and mythology and your movies with more cheese than a triple cheese hamburger pizza this is the crown-jewel of entertainment. An absurd good time!!

Die Die My Darling - Misfits/ Samhain/ Danzig

In this episode Adam and Mark discuss the horror punk phenomenon that is the Misfits and other fiend related pondering. Join them as they recount their most memorable Misfity stories, from Mark's band Disrupt Youth supporting the band in 1997 to Adam seeing Samhain's final live show.

Misfits are an American punk rock band often recognised as the pioneers of the horror punk sub genre, blending punk and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. Founded in 1977 in New Jersey, by vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist Glenn Danzig,

Each incarnation of the Misfits has made use of horror film and science fiction film-inspired themes and imagery, with makeup, clothing, artwork, and lyrics drawn from B movies and television serials, many from the 1950’s through 1970’s. Musically the band is often recognised as kick off of the horror punk and psycho billy sub genres and have drawn from punk rock, heavy metal, and 1950’s rock and roll and rockabilly to inform their style. 

Rolling Stone describes them as "the archetypal horror-punk band of the late 1970’s and early '80 s", and they are considered icons in punk music and culture

30 Bloody Years - Samhain at the Best Buy Theatre in NYC on 01-Nov-2014
Samhain (pronounced Sowan), celebrated the final night of their 30 anniversary farewell tour, at a sold out performance on the pagan holiday the band is named after. The band was formed by Glenn Danzig immediately after his departure from the Misfits. Samhain was darker, heavier, and more experimental. Samhain celebrated their 30th anniversary as a band, and their debut album, Initium, which they played in its entirety.

Episode 11

Punks Noot Dead - The Exploited

WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show exploring the vast undiscovered cultural wastelands as a creative pursuit. Hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, trashy treasures, street levelness, life, culture and stuff.

In this episode Adam and Mark decide to ponder some of their favourite punk bands. First cab off the ranks is legendary Mohawk punkers, The Exploited. Listen as they go all fanboy and discuss most things fact and fiction as well as their favourite Exploited Albums, Songs and moments.

The Exploited is a Scottish hard-core punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 1979 by Stevie Ross and Terry Buchan and later joined by his brother Wattie Buchan. They signed to Secret Records in March 1981, and their debut EP Army Life and debut album Punks Not Dead were both released that year. The band maintained a large cult following in the 1980s among a hard-core working class punk and skinhead audience. Although The Exploited continues to perform live, they have not released any studio material since their last album Fuck the System in 2002.

Their songs have been covered by Slayer and Ice-T, and despite many line-up changes, Wattie has remained as the Exploited’s singer and leader. The Exploited are one of the iconic bands of the UK 82 punk movement along with, GBH and Discharge. The term "UK 82" came from The Exploited's song "UK82". UK 82 (also known as UK hardcore, second wave punk or No Future punk) took the existing punk sound and added the incessant, heavy drumbeats and distorted guitar sound of Motörhead. The term UK 82 is taken from the title of a song by The Exploited. Cross-pollination existed between this era of British street punk and American hardcore punk. The lyrics of UK 82 bands tended to be much darker and more violent than the lyrics of earlier punk bands. They tended to focus on the possibilities of a nuclear holocaust, and other apocalyptic themes, partially due to the military tension of the Cold War atmosphere. The other mainstay of the lyrics of the era was unemployment, and the policies of the Conservative Party government. Lyrics frequently denounced the Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher in the same way that American hardcore punk bands addressed the Ronald Reagan administration. AllMusic described The Exploited as "one of most riveting British punk rock units of the early 1980..

 The Exploited ON TOUR - Thursday Dec10 2015. Venue - The Zoo, Fortitude Valley,Brisbane, Australia. Supporting Artist - The Scam / Plan of Attack / The F1-Elevens.

As the clock hit 10.30pm, the Scottish madmen commenced the evening’s craziness with Let’s Start a War, followed by Fightback, and Dogs of War.  Having suffered a heart attack onstage in Portugal at the beginning of 2014 showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, the renowned anarchist couldn’t even hide a few cheeky grins throughout the set to show he was having a good time during their first stop of the Aussie tour. This current member line-up of The Exploited is by far the sturdiest and tightest over the bands entire career. Matt McGuire’s axe work adds a more metal edge to the songs, while Irish Rob directed all of his energy into punishing the bass and swinging around his massive mop of dreads. The twenty plus song set list weighed heavily on the Fuck the System, Punk’s Not Dead, and Troops of Tomorrow albums, but not forgetting to throw in some other belters such as Beat the Bastards, and Porno Slut. Sex and Violence gave the opportunity for one lucky punter to test out his pipes while Wattie took a short break before returning for Maggie and the punk classic Punk’s Not Dead. As this hot and muggy night drew to a close, Was It Me wrapped up an absolutely superb Thursday evening out on the town. These punks might be older, but they are far from dead. Great stuff!

Episode 10

Video Nasty - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

In this episode Adam and Mark discuss Tobe Hoopers legendary 1974 horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This episode is the third in series of micro shows that dive into the three Video nasties that formed the basis of their 25 year friendship.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American slasher film directed by Tobe Hooper  (Poltergeist – 1982, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2 1986, the Mangler – 1995, Life-force - 1985) and written and co-produced by Hooper and Kim Henkel. Starring - Marilyn Burns - Sally Hardesty, (Helter Skelter Linda Kasabian -1976, The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Patient on Gurney- 1994, Texas Chainsaw 3D - Verna / Sally Hardesty - 2013), Paul A. Partain - Franklin Hardesty, (The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Hospital Orderly - 1994, Rolling Thunder - Brother-in-Law -1977), Edwin Neal- the hitchhiker, (Future Kill - Splatter – 1985, Zombiegeddon (TROMA) - God – 2003), Jim Siedow - the proprietor, (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - Drayton Sawyer - The Cook -1986), and Gunnar Hansen - Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw 3D - Boss Sawyer 2013, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers - The Stranger – 1988, Hellblock 13 - The Executioner – 1999).

Plot - Five teenagers vs a cannibalistic Texan family of chainsaw loving psychopaths

When Sally (Marilyn Burns) hears that her grandfather's grave may have been vandalized, she and her paraplegic brother, Franklin (Paul A. Partain), set out with their friends to investigate. After a detour to their family's old farmhouse, they discover a group of crazed, murderous outcasts living next door. As the group is attacked one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), who wears a mask of human skin, the survivors must do everything they can to escape.

The film was marketed as being based on true events to attract a wider audience and to act as a subtle commentary on the era's political climate; although the character of Leatherface and minor story details were inspired by the crimes of murderer Ed Gein, its plot is largely fictional.

Pick Your Kings Part 2

Mark-O-Mark’s Picks

Salem’s Lot - Suburban vampire creepers! Writer named Ben Mears who returns to the town of Jerusalem's Lot (or 'Salem's Lot for short) in Maine, where he had lived from the age of five through nine, only to discover that the residents are becoming vampires

Novel – 1975 -It was his second published novel. In 1987 he told Phil Konstantin in The Highway Patrolman magazine: "In a way it is my favourite story, mostly because of what it says about small towns. They are kind of a dying organism right now. The story seems sort of down home to me. I have a special cold spot in my heart for it!"

Film – 1979- Director - Tobe Hooper -Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974, Poltergeist 1982, Crocodile 2000. Starring -David Soul - Ben Mears - Starsky and Hutch - Det Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson 1975-1979. James Mason – Straker 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Captain Nemo 1954, Stanley Kubrick's Lolita Prof. Humbert 1962. Salem's Lot (also known as Salem's Lot: The Movie, Salem's Lot: The Miniseries and Blood Thirst) is a 1979 American miniseries television adaptation of the horror novel of the same name by Stephen King. Directed by Tobe Hooper and starring David Soul and James Mason. Salem's Lot combines elements of both the vampire film and haunted house subgenres of horror.

Thinner - Fake latex fat suit businessman with a gypsy curse. Obese Billy Halleck (Robert John Burke) accidentally runs over and kills a gypsy woman; he uses his court connections to get off the hook. The woman's elderly father takes revenge by placing a curse upon Halleck, one that soon has him uncontrollably losing weight to the point of emaciation.

Novel – 1984.Thinner is a 1984 novel by Stephen King, published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman. It was the last novel King released under the Richard Bachman pseudonym until the release of The Regulators in 1996, and the last released prior to Bachman being outed as being Stephen King's pseudonym. The initial hardcover release of Thinner included a fake jacket photo of "Bachman". The photo is claimed to have been taken by Claudia Inez Bachman. The actual subject of the photo is Richard Manuel, the insurance agent of Kirby McCauley, who was King's literary agent.

Film – 1996. Director - Tom Holland -Fright Night -1985, Child's Play 1988. Starring - Robert John Burke - Billy Halleck - RoboCop 3 – RoboCop 1993. A fully committed, even compelling performance by Robert John Burke can’t save this picture from itself. Hilarious cartoonish makeup and anaemically written characters are among the critical flaws in this tale of an overweight lawyer haunted by a Gypsy curse. The tone here bears similarity to the Goosebumps TV show that was popular at the time—only less scary.

It - Crazy ass demon gutter clown. A predatory monster which has the ability to transform itself into its prey's worst fears, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the humanoid form of a vicious but darkly comedic clown called Pennywise.

Novel – 1986 King’s 22nd book, and his 17th novel written under his own name. The story follows the experiences of seven children as they are terrorized by an evil entity that exploits the fears of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown to attract its preferred prey of young children.

Film – Original 1990. Director - Tommy Lee Wallace - Halloween III: Season of the Witch 1982, Fright Night Part 2 1988. Starring - Tim Curry – Pennywise - The Rocky Horror Picture Show- Dr. Frank-N-Furter 1975. The story revolves around The protagonists are The Lucky Seven, or The Losers Club, a group of outcast kids who discover Pennywise and vow to kill him by any means necessary. The series takes place over two different time periods, the first when the Losers first confront Pennywise as children in 1960, and the second when they return as adults in 1990 to defeat him a second time after he resurfaces.

Carrie - High-school bullying and psychokinetic wrath Carrie White, an unpopular friendless misfit and bullied high-school girl who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who torment her

Novel – 1974. King’s his first published novel, released on April 5, 1974, with an approximate first print-run of 30,000 copies. King has commented that he finds the work to be "raw" and "with a surprising power to hurt and horrify." It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools.[

Film – 1976. Director - Brian De Palma - The Untouchables 1987. Starring - Sissy Spacek – Carrie White  - Coal Miner's Daughter - Loretta Lynn 1980. Piper Laurie – Marget White - The Faculty - Mrs. Karen Olson 1998, Twin Peaks Catherine Martell / Mr. Tojamura 1989-1991. John Travolta – Billy  - Pulp Fiction- Vincent Vega 1994. For its first hour, Carrie is a deliriously entertaining, rising-star-studded tragicomedy. Then the prom scene hits—it will still make your blood run cold. Star Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, who plays Carrie’s violently fanatical mother, were both nominated for Oscars, an unprecedented feat for a horror movie.

Pet Sematary -Undead pets and children sometimes come back……..Sometimes. The downward spiral of a family rocked by tragedy who go to supernatural lengths to reconnect with dead loved ones

Novel – 1983. In 1979, King was a "writer-in-residence" at the University of Maine and the house he was renting was adjacent to a major road where dogs and cats were often killed by oncoming trucks. He decided to write a book based on these ideas, and that the book would be a re-telling of "The Monkey's Paw" (1902), a short story by W. W. Jacobs about parents whose son resurrects after they wish for that to happen. King has gone on record stating that of all the novels he has written, Pet Sematary is the one which genuinely scared him the most.

Film – 1989/2019 - Director - Mary Lambert - Mötley Crüe: Without You, Mötley Crüe: Without You, Janet Jackson: Nasty, Control, Madonna: Material Girl. Starring - Dale Midkiff as Louis - The Crow: Salvation - Vincent 2000. Fred Gwynne as Jud -The Munsters - Herman Munster 1964-2004. Funnier and slightly campier than you'd expect. It goes deep on afterlife themes, there are plenty of freaky moments, and scene-stealing Church is the coolest resurrected cat of all time. The Ramones recorded a song of the same name as the theme for the 1989 film adaptation. It appeared on their album Brain Drain. It was later covered by the band Starcrawler for the 2019 film.
