4 Shots From 4 Films
Quatermass and the Pit (1967, dir by Roy Ward Baker)
As a part of this October’s horrorthon, I am pleased to announce the return of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation film trailers! This used to be a regular (and fairly popular) feature here on the Shattered Lens. Unfortunately, a few years ago, I discovered that I had shared almost every worthwhile trailer on YouTube and, as such, it became more of a “special occasion” type of feature.
However, enough time has passed that there are now new trailers on YouTube! Yay!
So, let’s get things started with 6 Trailers for The First of October!
(Why six? Because Lisa doesn’t do odd numbers!)
I Drink Your Blood (1971)
Let’s start things off with I Drink Your Blood (1971), a film about what happens when hippies get rabies. None other than Ryan C, the Trashfilm Guru himself, has described I Drink Your Blood as being one of the greatest grindhouse films of all time.
2. Psychomania (1973)
What’s the best way to deal with blood-crazed hippies? How about an English motorcycle gang? This was also the final film of George Sanders.
Not all werewolves ride motorcycles! Some of them terrorize remote locations and are hunted by Peter Cushing, as seen in The Beast Must Die.
5. Shock Waves (1977)
Peter Cushing went from filming The Beast Must Die to appearing in Shock Waves, perhaps the greatest Nazi zombie film ever made. Check out my review here!
6. The Loch Ness Horror (1982)
However, zombie nazis aren’t the only thing that live in the water! Just ask the people of Scotland!

As you might have just guessed, today’s director is Dario Argento. And these are 4 shots from 4 films!
Going to try something new and if this catches on I’ll keep it going with them.
A list of movies that you can stream absolutely free, no logins, no subscriptions, no add-ons, no payments, just free movies*. I’m thinking 4-5 movies per weekend spaced across several genres of movies; Comedy, Drama, Family/Kid-friendly, Horror, Sci-Fi, and Romance.
Okay, cool, you get the idea! So here we go!
Drama:
Ali:
Amazing performance by Will Smith portraying the G.O.A.T. Muhammad Ali. From Academy award nominated director Michael Mann and co-staring Jon Voight, Ali is a gripping story into his life
Starting out as a web series, Woke Up Dead was turned into a full length feature film. Starring Jon Heder and Krysten Ritter.
A young man who awakes in a full bathtub after ‘drowning’ and has no heartbeat, prompting his friends to believe him to be a zombie.
More in the, um, vein, (sorry for the pun) of comedy-horror, still a funny movie.
Woke Up Dead is also available for free on Crackle
And you can watch the trailer here:
Family Movie:
All Dogs Go To Heaven
A-sit-around-the-TV family friendly movie, All Dogs go to Heaven is a song filled story of laughs,tears and true love! Burt Reynolds, Dom Delouise and Lonnie Anderson star in this classic!
All Dogs Go to Heaven is available on TubiTV for free!
And you can see the trailer here:
Horror:
Puzzlehead:
For you horror fiends, this movie really twisted me. It’s very post-apocalyptic, Frankenstein-ish twist, with all the suspense and gore you want. (what is it like to be dead)

Sorry I have been “Clowning” it up a but with my last few reviews, but you know, Coulrophobia and all!
ok, seriously, my last movie review was about clowns; and now this one.
Let’s get the technicals out of the way:
Studio: High Octane Pictures
Director: Aaron Mirtes
Cast : Tom Seidman, Burt Culver and Brittany Belland
Plot:
Emma, a college student with a crippling fear of clowns, must come face to face with her worst fear when an evil spirit in the body of a clown is summoned terrorizing the town she calls home. One by one Emma and her friends receive a balloon with the exact time and date of when it will appear to kill them written on it. After receiving her balloon, Emma realizes that she has two days left to live, and must fight against the clock to find a way to survive.
Review:
As much as this movie captured all the, shall I say tongue-in-cheek, plot lines. It did manage to scare me quiet a bit!
Now, please don’t read to much into the plot holes when you watch this movie. They are several to fall into. At times I am not sure this is meant to be a serious movie. But I was thoroughly entertained!
Would I recommend this movie?
On my horror scale:
3.25 out of 5. But factor the fun of it, I give it a 4!
Poster:
But, since it is time for IT (trailer via Lisa Marie Bowman) to come out, no wonder I am getting so many clown movies to screen! And nightmares to sleep thru!
Should we watch the trailer for ‘Clowntergeist’ together? Yes we should!
Who wants to hold hands now!
Clowntergeist will be available on VOD on all your platforms September 12, 2017 And on DVD in October, just in time for Halloween!
