This rates at the top of weirdest flicks ever seen


You'd have to look far and wide to find a movie more weird than this one. If you know of any redneck stereotypes, this movie amplified them by 500%

The concept might have been funny during the idea stage, but it was certainly lost during the filming... I thought it was just silly.. not really funny.. and certainly not scary. I've heard of low budget but if they spent more than $50 making this thing, they spent too much.

I'm surprised the inbred redneck community didn't picket this film, but I doubt any theaters showed it anyway.

I'm trying to think of a movie I want to see. I just watched Swamp Thing on TCM. That wasn't it. The one I'm thinking of has a house full of kids in Arkansaw and they are scared to death by this Bigfoot type creature that roams the mountains. It's shot like the Blair Witch Project, sort of. It was made in the early to mid seventies. It's dated. so wonderfully mid seventies drive-in movie-type dated! Do you have any idea what I am talking about. I think there were two couples and a single person in it and a couple of them died but I'm not even sure of that. I saw it only once. I love Arkansaw and any film made in or about Arkansaw (I love that spelling) It's sooo Arkansaw

I love "Swamp Thing" – or as I prefer to call it, "Swamp Thang"!

Hmmm ... a '70s film about a Bigfoot-type of creature that roams the mountains, shot "Blair Witch"-style? It wouldn't be "Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigfoot," would it?

Did you ever see a film called "The Town That Dreaded Sundown"? It's based on a true story about random killings in Texarkana, Arkansaw. I saw it at at the drive-in in the '70s and have it on VHS now:

And because this is Halloween, and because you brought up "Blair Witch," I highly recommend this film I saw this week, which is the scariest film I've seen in years (and I don't get scared too easily ... by films at least):

Happy Halloween, and may your day be terrifying (in a good way, of course).

Cool! Coincidentally, it's set in Texarkana, same town as "The Town That Dreaded Sundown."

All my daze are terrifying, my dear... I will try and check out those films. I simply love that kind of stuff now. I was never one to enjoy the old Dracula and Frankenstein The Wolfman and Zombie stuff, the Vincent Price stuff or Roger Corman's stuff but as I grow older, I love it now!

My life is a never-ending horror story as well, and seeing films that reflect that serve to comfort me. I love the old-school Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi as well -- but I'm most drawn to the '60s and '70s supernatural horror of Mia Farrow, Linda Blair and Karen Black.

Regardless, have a horrifyingly good evening filled with cheap tricks and gruesome treats!

I hope the monsters don't go all out on ya with the torture tonite... Sometimes it seems to me that they all gang up at once. That's when I try desperately to crawl into a book or a familiar movie for safety. Usually it takes about fifteen minutes of those deafening but silent screams like the old Jew in The Pawnbroker was finally forced to endure, but it's cleansing. It's a neverending cycle of cleansing but, we do what we have to do to make it through.. I hope what I just said is a complete mystery to you . . If it's not, just know you're not alone, my friend..

ps If things get too heavy we can always meet here on the Inbred Redneck Alien Abduction board... ;)

Having not seen "The Pawnbroker," I didn't get your reference, but that's probably for the better.

I made it safely through the drunks on my way home last night and ended my month of horror films with "Halloween: Resurrection," which coincidentally was the worst. Now it's a new day and a new month, and I began it by watching Walter Hill's "The Warriors." Hard to believe this film touched off so much controversy, because those guys look as dangerous as the kids from "Fame."

I hope November finds you well and that you had more tricks than treats last night. And yes, we can always meet at the "Inbred Redneck Alien Abduction" board when the going gets tough. Looks like we'll have privacy here.
