Check out the posters below. If you're not familiar with these films, be sure to look them up.
Amputee With an Axe: The first film to be called a gore-nography! Amputee With An Axe helped kick start the slasher genre. Mathew, a deranged young man with a hook for a hand, uses all kinds of weapons to murder and torture women. He becomes obsessed with a prostitute that will be his bride whether she likes it or not. Color, 1975, 90 minutes. AKA: Scream Bloody Murder, Claw of Terror, Mathew, Captive Female.
SUPER WHEELS: (AKA Superbug The Craziest Car In The World) Move over CHRISTINE! This tiny bug is in MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! Okay, it's a bit more like HERBIE THE LOVE BUG. However, it will leave you horrified.
Your driving instructor and movie host Mr. Lobo navigates through th pot holes and plot holes in this cinematic obstacle course for lovers of misunderstood Drive-In films. And boy howdy, is this one really misunderstood! This movie is the 4th and worst of 5 films about DU-DU the wackiest car in Europe. This time, actor, inventor, filmmaker Rudolph Zehetengruber's yellow beetle is in a wacky race over the Swiss Alps to raise ta money for some sexy nuns who run an orphanage out of an old train station or something. There is a two-headed car, possibly named CA-CA, and at one point DU-DU impossibly turns into a helicopter a la Inspector Gadget.
Meanwhile, Cinema Insomnia's pit crew have some wacky exploits of their own as Mr. Lobo's co-host and houseplant, Miss Mittens, learns how to operate a motor vehicle with hilarious results. Drivers training films from Mr. Lobo's high school days, trailers, car-toons, vintage TV ads and other kitschy spare parts ar installed to help drag this loser over th finish line in the Indy 500 of late night slumber party fun! Actung Baby!
We here at Apprehensive Films love spiders, especially tarantulas. We even have a handful of pet tarantula's hanging around the office (which we'll post in a future blog). So we decided to take a look back at those few brave horror films that had the guts to work with real spiders in a major way. Enjoy.
Tarantula 1955
Kiss of the Tarantula 1976
Kingdom of the Spiders 1977
Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo 1977
Arachnophobia 1990
Taranthriller 1993
Now most of you reading this blog have probably heard of most of these films with the exception of Taranthriller. Taranthriller is a Polish film that came out in 1993. It is very difficult to find and appears to have been made for Polish Television or least has had it's largest amount of exposure on Polish TV. I threw a couple of pics from that film below, just to wet your appetites.
