The Blob (1988)
One day you're sitting in a tree smoking a cigarette, thinking about how you're gonna jump the broken down old bridge at Elkin's Grove. The next day you're fighting off some huge unrelenting pink pile of ooze that just spread into town. "How did you get here" you might ask yourself. If you're Brian Flagg (Kevin Dillon), you'd probably be asking yourself the exact same thing. Life was so easy just being a juvenile delinquent. Now you're just trying to survive The Blob.
Phenomena aka Creepers
I'm always interested to see where people got there start in movies. Take Billy Bob Thorton for instance. One of his first was a terrible flick called Chopper Chicks in Zombietown. Most people in fact start with something bad, or just small, like Robert Patrick in Equalizer 2000. They work with other little known people. But Jennifer Connelly had a much different beginning. Her first big break was working with two horror legends, Donald Pleasence and Dario Argento. We all know Pleasence from the Halloween series and other John Carpenter movies. Argento isn't well known in the US, but in Europe he's a household name in terror. He took a big chance with a young Connelly in the fright fest Phenomena, which was later released in the States as Creepers.
The Evil Dead
Fall is fast approaching. The weather is getting cooler and it's getting the perfect time to go out to the woods and snuggle up next to your honey near a fire. When your friends invite you and your ladyfriend out to an isolated cabin in the wilderness for some good times and libations, it sounds like a good idea. When they tell you they got it for cheap you assume that it has to be a pit, and when you get there it is. Everything seems relatively normal, but when the cellar door starts flapping in the house like there's someone down there, you should just leave it alone. If you do happen to go down there and find a book that looks like it's got a cover made of skin, a tape recorder and some kind of ceremonial dagger - for the love of all that is holy, don't bring them upstairs and play the recording. You might just unleash The Evil Dead...
Maniac Cop
The police are supposed to help people. We've been taught this from a very young age, and whenever stories on the 11 o'clock news about a corrupt cop, or an officer that has been charged with a crime - that violates the trust between the police and the public. When you have cops like this one the street, you figure it's just a couple bad apples. But, when you have one on the streets that is killing innocent people and other police officers, that's when you have a MANIAC COP!
