My fondest memory of 900 and 976 numbers was when I was about 10 years old. I was huge into video games, and when I heard a commercial on TV for “action arcade”, I knew I had to put a few quarters into that machine. I ended up calling it about 8 times in a couple days before I realized that there were only 3 different outcomes no matter how many times I called. I didn’t think anything of it, but about a week or two later my mom asked me if I had been calling any phone numbers that I shouldn’t have. The phone bill ended up being $20 more than usual, and I was up shit’s creek with a turd for a paddle. A few years later, Robert Englund turned the 976 number on it’s ear with his directorial debut ”976-EVIL“
Slumber parties back in the day used to be a fun time to get together with your friends to watch some trash movies, eat a little greasy pizza, tell some ridiculous stories and then wake up your parents because you’re all laughing too loud about the whole thing. Maybe you hung with a crowd that would draw penises on the face of the first person who fell asleep or dip their hand in some water to see if they’d piss themselves but it usually wouldn’t get more serious than that. More than likely, you wouldn’t have to worry about someone systematically stalking and murdering you, your friends, your neighbors and classmates – unless your life was the basis of Slumber Party Massacre!
I thought I was lucky to be able to say that I was the viewer of a great 80′s supernatural slasher movies that took place in a health club after watching Witch Bitch (aka Death Spa). Well everyone… I can now say that I am the proud viewer of TWO great 80′s slasher films that take place in a health club. If you’ve read this site for a while, you know how I love my 80′s slasher flicks, and this is no exception.
For this week’s Trailer Tuesday, we’re going to take a look at the 1986 film FROM BEYOND!
What a good movie. I’m telling you kids, this is when goopy special effects were goopy as hell. I don’t think they could get any goopier! Anyhow, From Beyond tells the story of what happens when you start messing around with interdimensional communication. Sometimes you might not like what you get the opportunity to communicate with.
Check out our review of From Beyond for more information, and don’t forget to exercise your pineal gland!
