Videodrome
James Woods plays a small cable channel exec in David Cronenberg's 1983 Film "Videodrome". Max Renn (Woods) runs the small network Civic TV, which shows the most offbeat, weird and bizarro shows on TV (I have to admit, it sounds like my kind of station), and he's always looking for a new show to put on the airwaves. The newest crop that his sales agent is proposing aren't edgy enough for him, it's all too softcore, too pedestrian. He needs something a little more shocking, not only to keep interest in his station, but also because he needs something to get excited about. Soon after, his tech intercepts a few minutes of "Videodrome" and Renn's interest is piqued.
The Video Dead
Isn't it always fun to get a package in the mail? I like to get packages, it makes me feel like I'm someone special, even if I did order it for myself like a big boy. In Robert Scott's "The Video Dead" (1987), a man gets a special delivery that he's not expecting. In the wooden crate, a TV. Too bad this TV only shows one movie... "Zombie Blood Nightmare" (which by the way, looks like an awesome zombie movie). Zombies pop out of the ground during this movie, and eventually the TV spawns some zombies - and through the magic of film, they all fit through the 19 inch opening on the TV to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting owner of the house.
