PROM NIGHT / This Year Prom Night Will Be A Scream! - 1980

Today's story's about revenge... For years, high school seniors Kelly Lynch, Jude Cunningham, Wendy Richards and Nick McBride have been hiding the truth of what happened to ten-year-old Robin Hammond the day her broken body was discovered near an abandoned convent. That day, they had taunted Robin, backed her into a corner, frightened her as she stood on a window ledge and watched her to her death! Although it was an accident, the four feared they would be held responsible and vowed to never tell what happened. But guess what?.. That's right, someone else was there that day, watching, and now, that someone is ready to exact murderous revenge on good old prom night!

This one stars Jamie Lee (THE FOG, HALLOWEEN) Curtis and Leslie (DARK INTRUDER, CREEPSHOW) Nielsen and features a big pile of second string actors, filmed in Canada.

Here's how the authorities find young Robin Hammond on the day of her death, she has fallen from a 3rd story window...

Years later, a mysterious caller starts checking in by phone to threaten the four people responsible for Robin death, a time when you could get away with that shit. Nowadays, the FBI can just show up at your door and take you away.

Here's Jamie Lee with teacher and other girls on the tennis court at high school...

Before leaving the court, this high school hottie teases the maintenance guy by showing him her fine ass! Actually, they show this guy doing creepy stuff throughout the movie, just so you think that he's probably the killer, he ain't. Funny, he looks like freakin' Joe Pera!..

Then, on the day of the prom, well, gym class gets a little freaky when Jamie Lee and her pal check out the broken mirror in the dressing room!

It's prom night and disco rules! Man, they took this shit way too seriously, I mean, all the songs are driven by that heavy electronic keyboard and the dancers are doing these crazy over the top, go for broke moves and poses with soulful expressions on their faces as they strut around, including poor Jamie Lee.. And hey, there's even Leslie Nielsen cutting up the disco rug!

I sum it up as just, plain... EMBARRASSING!!

The maniac is out doing in anyone involved in Robin's death. Yeah, and it's too bad if their friends also get caught up in the action!

A classic horror movie shot!

Well anyway, the killer has made it back to the school and is wielding an ax! Proof is in the pudding, because, there's a nicely chopped off head there on the old disco floor!!

The psycho goes after Jamie Lee's beau, Nick, so she jumps in, manages to get the ax loose and tosses it away! Psycho then starts strangling Nick...

It's asses and elbows when Jamie Lee retrieves the ax from under a table and then conks the killer in the head with it!!

It turns out to be Robin's brother, who was also at the convent that day, hidden from the others. So, that's that!! Another one bites the dust... So, we're back tomorrow with more Dungeon Junk 4 U ~

THE CURSE - "A Tale Of Crops, Creatures And Carnage" (1987)

Welcome to the Independence Day edition of Weird Wednesday in The Dungeon!

Tonight's fiery display was made in 1987 and was called "The Curse!" It's loosely based on the brilliant H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour Out of Space."

My adventure with "The Curse" was cursed from the start when the movie stopped playing with 19 minutes left to go. Finally, by using a different media player, I was able to also see the ending. The Director of the film is a man who is known more as an actor, the hard working David (Clown Hunt, Daredevil) Keith! David just finished one film, has one in post-production, and has one in pre-production!

Water! One of, if not the, most important element in our lives!

Without an ample supply of good clean water, as a society, we're screwed!

This family's water supply is about to become contaminated. They're screwed! 

The Father is Claude Akins. Claude only lived to be 67 but racked up 231 credits during that time that included two "Twilight Zone" episodes, "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street," and "The Little People." The oldest son is Malcom (Godzilla: The TV Series) Danare. Steve (The Mutilator) Davis is Mike, the hired hand. The Mother is Kathleen Jordon Gregory is her sole outing. The Daughter is Amy (Freaks and Geeks) Wheaton, and the brother is Amy's real-life brother Wil (Stand By Me, Toy Soldiers) Wheaton.

It has a great look to it, and I found "The Curse" to be vaguely interesting, but mostly neither fish nor flesh! Even though he only gets credits as Associate Producer, this movie has Lucio Fulci's signature written all over it.

Besides the whole water problem, the family has other difficulties! The husband is so religious, he only believes it's proper to have sex when the man institutes it. This leads his wife to be unfaithful, and you really can't blame her, until she gets caught!

As Creedence said, "It came outta the sky!"

They all feel lucky that this thing from space is not radioactive, but in reality, radioactivity would be much better than what they're going to end up with!

Looks like a giant bocce ball court!

The ball from space contaminates all the water on the farm. It kills the plants, but before they die, they produce large and succulent looking fruits and vegetables, but the insides are either rotten or full of blood or other oozing nasty shit!

The Doctor is too busy to get too involved until it's too late! His wife keeps him kind of busy. The Doctor is Cooper (Pee-Wee's Big Holiday) Huckabee, and his gorgeous wife is Miss Cowboy USA 1987, Hope North!

Something gross, and an apology to all our vegetarian friends!

Beautiful bountiful crop of apples this year!

I didn't ask for any protein with my fruit!

Mom, you don't look so great!!
 I think you can see where this is going!

No matter where you live, Happy Independence Day, Happy 4th of July!!!!

VAMPYROS LESBOS / A Psycho-Sexadelic Horror Freakout! - 1971

Here's a West German/Spain production directed by Jess Franco, the story goes like this... In Istanbul, lawyer Linda Westinghouse is having erotic dreams, a strange woman has been in them every night. Her analyst suggests she find a new lover. Linda is there, assigned to resolve an inheritance issue with the Hungarian Countess Nadine Oskudar, who has recently inherited some real estate from Count Dracula!! Linda leaves her boyfriend Omar at the Istanbul Hilton and decides to go to Kadidados Island. While waiting for transportation, she's advised by locals that the island would be a place of death and insanity if she went there! She pays no attention to them and meets with Countess Oskudar on the island, who's a lesbian vampire fascinated by Linda. The Countess ends up drinking some of Linda's blood and now Linda has amnesia, so, she's sent to a mental institution where Dr, Steiner, an expert on vampires, treats her...

It stars Soledad Miranda as the Countess, Ewa Strömberg as Linda, Dennis Price as the analyst and Paul Muller as Dr. Steiner. Jess Franco has 178 writing credits, 204 directing credits, 101 acting credits, 72 composer credits, 47 editing credits, 31 producer credits, 25 credits for cinematographer and the list goes on!! Whotta guy!

This whole thing starts with a scene at a high falootin', night club (my copy was in German so don't be looking for lots of detail). Anyway, there's this Psycho-Sexadelic Horror Freakout! on the stage... Sooo Euro!! I mean, I like it and everything, it's just so kitschy weird for a stage act! The crowd responds with fervent hand clapping.

Back to the story, well, Linda goes exploring the new home of the Countess, the house that Dracula previously lived in!.. She sees something no human wants to see!.. Yeah, that's right, you got it pal... Freakin' Bloodsuckers!!

Anyway, Linda and the Countess spend the day getting to know each other, they run around on the beautiful beach for awhile...

But, they get down to business after the sun goes down. Hey, wait a ding-danged minute here, how the F did the Countess spend the day in the sun if she's a damn dracula?!!

So, Linda wakes up the next day with amnesia, now, she doesn't even know any better than to sleep on the floor nude!!

I like this picture, love to see shots of interesting buildings and areas around the world!

There's just always something weird going on...

I'd feel like a jerk if I didn't include this shot of the gorgeous stairwell, wow!

The Countess gets Linda to drink more blood (big glass!) while another girl gets turned on by that silly little clown lamp!.. Maybe it vibrates, freakin' Euro!

So, Dr. Steiner and his hot assistant have to deal with Linda while she stays under the doc's care, she's fairly psycho... Great shadows!

But, one of the doctor's workers turns against him because he's actually working for the Countess. The doc becomes just another casualty as the vampires try and take over!

Everything turns out fine, Linda's boy friend saves her and stabs the Countess in the eye with a knitting needle, taking her out!!

Well, that's all folks, and, good night Everbloody!.. Eegah!! is up on the 4th!
