Episode 24: Mutant! (aka Night Shadows)

Bad but interesting entry in the zombie genre. This film began life as a script that ripped off Stephen King’s “The Stand” and eventually evolved in what you see here… The best they could do.

The film focuses on two brothers driving through rural Georgia. They get stranded in a small town when some rednecks they offended run them off the road. It becomes clear that the town is hiding something. That something is that a chemical manufacturing corporation has been dumping toxic waste down a mine shaft and it is leaking into the local water supply, mutating the locals into zombie-like creatures that spew acidic goo and suck blood.

This movie is bad but it should keep you entertained. It was directed by John “Bud” Cardos who directed other cult B-movies like “Kingdom of the Spiders” and “The Dark”. Dick Clark was a producer on the film though he was uncredited. An unofficial sequel was made called “Alien Predators” in 1987 and a loose remake called “Nightmare at Noon” with some of the same cast.

The film also boasts an awesome score by Richard Band.

Episode 21: Grave of the Vampire! (aka Seeds of Terror!)

Instead of Oedipus the King in this 1972 horror film, its Oedipus the Count!

Several years after his death by electrocution in the late 1930s, ghoulish rapist/murderer Caleb Croft (Michael Pataki) rises from his crypt and brutally assaults young Leslie Hollander (Kitty Vallacher). Leslie becomes pregnant by Croft and delivers a baby boy, whom she nurses with bottles of blood. The child matures into the ruggedly handsome James Eastman (William Smith), who sets out on a mission to find and kill his diabolical father. Eastman enrolls in a college, where his father is teaching as Professor Lockwood. Following a séance hosted by the professor for his students, James confronts his father in a showdown between good and evil.

Episode 12: Lady Frankenstein!

Another screen adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel, but this one was unique for its levels of sex and violence, as well as its female lead. Often considered feminist science fiction/horror film because the focus is not on Baron Frankenstein in this version but his daughter, challenging 19th century gender roles by being a brilliant surgeon and a femme fatale.

Tania Frankenstein returns home from medical school and takes over her father’s work when his creation kills him and goes on a rampage. Using her brilliant mind and beautiful face and body, she sets out to prove to the world that her father was a genius!

The trailer to this film was sampled at the beginning of Rob Zombie’s song “Living Dead Girl”. The film was originally distributed by Roger Corman of this Italian horror film.

Rivaled only by “Curse of Frankenstein” and “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” in its combination of sex, violence and gothic horror.

Inn of the Damned

1975 Australian horror film about an inn in the middle of the forest where guests check in and are never heard from again…
