Ahhhh. I saw that was streaming and didn't realize what it was. I'll probably check it out despite your not-quite-a-recommendation. Love stuff like that.

Being a regional horror host would probably be my dream job.

You would be SO good at it too.

These folks have been doing a beatnik-schtick thing out of Buffalo called "Off Beat Cinema" for the past 15 or 20 years. It's about half bad horror films. They're a little scary, but not in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sense.

LOL, oh man, I should roll each and every result out in the style of an EC host. That could get tiresome after the first seven or eight."Welcome back, my little BORES and GHOULS. I see you've come LURCHING back for another DRIPPY DOSE of TOOTHSOME TERROR. If BLOOD is what you crave, then SHARPEN up your FANGS for this CUTTING ENTRY in our countdown ... or should I say, COUNT-DRACULA-DOWN?"― jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Thursday, May 10, 2012 1:45 PM (3 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

i would have totally voted for that if i had remembered the name oh a week ago or so (although to be fair i havent seen it since i was a kid so i might be giving it too much credit)
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I knocked off a couple movies that I thought were kind of cool as a kid: Gargoyles & Devil Dog
I remember the first part of Gargoyles being pretty scary though. I'm not gooing to rewatch it and ruin that memory.

My fondest TV horror movie is Salem's Lot, which scared the everloving shit out of me at age seven (wtf were my parents thinking?). The scene with the knuckleheads driving the van with the coffin in the back… yikes!

I saw Heavy Metal when I was five. MIND. BLOWN. Lots of other equally-inappropriate examples if I took the time to remember them.
