Incubo sulla città contaminata (1980) / Nightmare City had a somewhat goofy ending. That said, I found it an absolutely fun flick. Felt just like Zombi 2, only with somewhat less spectacular special effects.

Fun all around.

Not nearly as fun as Burial Ground though

Weird bloody film. Clearly mocking the everloving fuck out of horror films. Laura Jacobs and Lauren Francesca providing some incredible sexy shots.

Also, hadn't realized but Jaclyn Swedberg, apparently a playmate of the year, plays a random lady in a thong. This film basically sold the stereotypes of horror and then flipped the volume to max, with no real ending, because I don't think it could. Still glad I watched it, even if it was weird.

Haha, best part of this movie has been the beginning of the 3rd story. Kids going to their grandmas for Christmas and the son back talks his dad, saying he's so strong striking a kid or something to that effect. Then the dad takes off his belt and starts beating the hell out of the son in the backseat while still driving the car.

Which means I'll like Burial Ground even more. Nice - Nightmare City would get something like a solid 8 from me, so here's hoping Burial Ground gets at least an 8.5.

Starting Meathook Massacre (2015), a complete and utter SOV throwback to Texas Chain Saw Massacre (including the "The film you are about to see" announcement at the beginning).

Directed by one Dustin Ferguson. I saw another one of his, The Amityville Legacy (2016), a while back. Liked that one also.

This movie clocks in at just over an hour, so seems like a good one to end the night on.

Deep Space sucks, it's one of those movies that's rated R but you can't find any reason why it should be. More like a made for tv movie.

Meathook Massacre, while a very low quality one-hour long utter ripoff of TCM, was extraordinarily fun. Loved it.

Four movies today - so I am on schedule. Going to sleep shortly to ensure I get to work on time tomorrow.

If you're talking about Muck, that was the first film in a supposed trilogy. The second one would pick up where this one leaves off.

The Beyond

Putting real spiders along side the fake ones make the fake ones look all the more hilarious. Good scene though.

That’s the one. At least it makes sense now that it ends so bizarrely.

Well the start of my challenge was completely balls. It Comes At Night... more like it comes with bullshit. This isn't a horror movie, more like some existential drama non-sense. First movie and I can't even count it because they market this crap just trying to dupe us.
