When it comes to self-aware movies, sometimes you can be self-aware while still never tipping your cap to that idea. Slaughterhouse Rock is a great example of a horror movie that is little more self-aware about what it is than what the movie is truly showing us.

1988's Party Line is a movie I vaguely remembered from the video store days but never saw. I was reminded of it with Vinegar Syndrome's release came along and I finally watched. I ended up quite liking it.

2012's The Sleeper was one of the earlier examples of the indie horror phenomenon that came along that venerated the horror films of the 70s and 80s, and not only do I think it looks and plays out like those movies, but it also features a small role for Joe Bob Briggs.

Norman J. Warren rang in 2020 at B-Movie Enema as I reviewed his bizarre Bloody New Year from 1987. Now, we love Norman around here so don't blame him kicking off the 2020 slate here for everything else that happened that year.

So moving on from Christmas Evil, I then covered New Year's Evil, another endlessly interesting and watchable slasher from Cannon Films. However, it's interesting and watchable for different reasons. It's a bad movie that is one of those fun ones.

Christmas Evil is one of the more interesting Christmas horror films that came out in the 80s. I think it's endlessly watchable and the performance by our lead star is kind of one for the ages in that early slasher era.

If you thought Zombie 3 was a "sorta" sequel that goes off the rails, Zombie 4 tries to be a little more interesting but it's very clear that they are just applying "Zombie" to the title to sell it.

Kevin S. Tenney is a director who will always have a special place in my heart for Night of the Demons. Witchtrap is another horror movie from him that is pretty nutty but actually incredibly watchable.

Norman J. Warren rarely made the same type of movie twice, and certainly didn't do the same type of thing two films in a row. 1977's Prey may have been his most interesting in terms of it being a sci-fi horror movie with only three characters in the whole film.

The Halloween special review for 2019 was 1986's Trick or Treat about an outsider who resurrects a demonic version of his favorite heavy metal musician who then runs amok in the kid's high school. Pretty fun rock and roll satanic panic horror flick.

Another great from my childhood thanks to my brothers is the toxic-infected zombie tyke horror The Children from 1980. Another under-appreciated flick that should get more notice.

1979's Tourist Trap is one of those really classic, somewhat underappreciated to the public at large, horror flicks that I would recommend to anyone who likes slashers or movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And it was one I grew up with thanks to my brothers.

While he does have some clunkers in his filmography, it's no secret that I'm a fan of Mr. Jesus (Jess) Franco. Perhaps the very best his movies is The Diabolical Dr. Z which is a heck of a moody, well-shot, and very peculiar horror thriller from the mid-60s.

Zombie Holocaust, also known as Doctor Butcher, MD (the "MD" stands for Medical Deviant), came along as the Italians were going hard with zombies and flesh-eating in general. This one is not the least known of these by any stretch of the imagination, but is known for having a promotional barf bag. So... that's fun.

1991's Brain Twisters is one of those early techo-horror films that doesn't really understand all the technology it is using as a tool for the bad guy. It's still a fun cheesy flick though and well-worth a shot.

Cutting Class is one I hadn't heard of before until Vinegar Syndrome released it on Blu Ray some years ago. I can't understand why I hadn't heard of it. It's not like it doesn't have one of the biggest stars of the 21st century in one of his earliest roles.
Also, RIP Martin Mull.

Rush Week was a movie that I just simply caught randomly and really ended up liking it. It's a college campus slasher with a cute lead, a guy in a scary mask killing co-eds, and an Allman brother. Sounds like a winning combo to me.

Roberta Findlay was one of the greats in exploitation horror. She often worked on smaller budget movies, but every now and then she'd get a pretty solid one in the form of Prime Evil. If nothing else, you gotta love the devil monster created for the big climax of the movie.

Demons was a big hit when it was released in 1985. It only made sense for a sequel to get made as soon as possible, and it sure did. In Demons 2, the invasion of the demons happens in an apartment building and it's a pretty good one.

Faust: Love of the Damned is a peculiar little property. It's very much like Spawn as it was a comic about a guy who is a demonic anti-hero, but it came first and was nowhere near as popular which led it to be considered a ripoff when the movie came out after Spawn's. But the movie does have one thing going for it... Brian Yuzna.

Dead & Buried is mostly obscure little movie that is a far better movie than most people realize. It's moody as hell. It's kind of morbidly gruesome. It looks fantastic as the setting of a foggy coastal town gives you a bunch of chills right away.

Lucio Fulci's Zombie is the masterpiece of the Italian zombiesploitation that rose out of the late 70s and early 80s. It's gross. It's got memorable moments. There's a zombie who fights a shark. There's eye trauma. What more could you possibly want?

From Ticks in the 90s, to 1978's The Bees... You can never say B-Movie Enema doesn't bug ya. Ugh... That was bad. But The Bees is also a fairly bad movie. This is a movie that literally ends with the bees sending a guy to the United Nations to tell people to leave bees alone.

Ticks is one of those classic 90s video store creature features that was just good enough to build a not insignificant cult following. Plus it has the likes of Ami Dolenz, Clint Howard, Seth Green, and Alfonso Ribeiro in the movie too.

Of the many Friday the 13th movies, Part VI, Jason Lives, has always been my favorite. It's the only one that features no nudity. It's the first to actually show kids at the camp. It also comes across as looking like it happens in the fall. It's a perfect storm that I think works super well.
