CREEPSHOW / Creepshow Films Inc., Laurel Entertainment Inc. - 1982

I'll be unloading a lot of eighties movies over the next few months in an attempt to include more movies we have yet to review. Eegah!! and I divide our review choices up, he basically despises the newer movies so it's my job to fill in the blanks in our quest to cover as many movies as we can before we've had enough and tap out. Today's post is number 2045 on the old dusty Dungeon trail to oblivion...

Today's feature is one I saw when it came out, it's all about horror comics and how much kids love them. But, this dad is livid over his son's addiction to weird stuff.

I have a sound clip from this flick for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our pre-code horror comic collection, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... CREEPSHOW!

The first of five stories deals with a crazy old rich coot that returns from the grave in order to get the Father's Day cake his murdering daughter never served him.

But, at the end, he gets his cake and eats it too!

Our second story stars Stephen King as country hayseed Jordy Verrill, he makes the stupid mistake of touching one of Lovecraft's missing meteorites after it crashes near his house.

Well, everything he touches turns into foliage because he's now a plant! And, the infection just keeps on spreading across the countryside, happy nightmares ever'bloody!

In this tale, Leslie Nielsen plays a real little bitch, here, he has a devilish plan for Ted Danson and his cheating wife...

Of course, the plan backfires big time and Leslie ends up buried in the sand hisself, waiting for the tide to come in!

The fourth tale is about a gruesome creature that resides in a crate at the local college and the bloody mystery surrounding it.

Let's put it this way... Get me the Hell out of here!!!

E.G. Marshall is millionaire Upson Pratt in the last story, he hates people, he hate germs, he hates bugs... He's locked up in his high rise apartment in a Howard Hughes type existence. What he does love though is money and power.

He can't get anyone to help him when tons of cockroaches infest and invade his shining domain, oh well! Tune in again on Wednesday when we'll have another review just for you.

T.V. OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1953)

"The Future is Now, The Future is Here!"

Welcome to the "T.V. Of Tomorrow," Dungeon style!

Well, there's a lot of this that is spot on, and there is also a lot that just isn't relevant anymore!

Here's a sleepy little burg pre-TV, and after the introduction of the television!

TV antennas were quite the plague at one time! Cable TV fixed that problem in most areas of the country!

Science hasn't quite figured out how to do this yet, but I'm sure they're working on it!

Now this scene where absolutely all activities were based around the TV is not that far fetched!

At first TV's were too complicated with too many dials....

So they fixed that by streamlining it down to only one dial!

Now, only the one dial is overly complicated!

Here's a TV made for people who squint!

The televisions of the future were expected to be much more multi-functional!

The TV cigarette lighter! I'm sure Samsung is working on this one!

This television came with a complete 24/7 hour warranty!

If you wanted to watch one of those stations that was more than 30 miles away, you had to come up with some tricky innovations !

This virtual concept is really not that far out of touch with what I've seen in some casinos today!

Some things have not changed! No matter how many channels you have, it's all the same!

Here's a TV built specifically for peeping Toms!

Tex was a little perverted for sure!

Again, this is not that far removed from modern online gambling!

"T.V. Of Tomorrow" is another cartoon you can find for free on the Internet Archive!

Now that's one thing they hadn't figured out back in 1953!

GNAW Food Of The Gods II / Canadian Entertainment Investors Number One and Company Limited Partnership - 1989

Today we gots this kinda follow up to Bert Gordon's FOOD OF THE GODS from 1976, it's a Canadian production with a $3,500,000 budget. This time, a growth hormone experiment goes awry when giant man-eating rats escape from the lab, wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting school campus.

I've got a little sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button over by our big old mouse hole, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a sample of... GNAW!

Two shots of evil sadist Professor Delhurst first being confronted by PETA members and then working away torturing animals in his lab with the help of his willing assistant. Even the idea of abusing animals makes our blood boil here at The Dungeon, maybe that's why we're not real keen on eff'ed up eighties flicks.

Well, it isn't long before the oversized rats escape from the lab and go on a killing spree.

It's believed that the rats escaped into the sewer system and their worries prove correct!

I put in a purchase order for one of these very cool little motorized rides for The Dungeon but Eegah!! said.. 'NO!'

Dumb ass Professor Delhurst is excited to get his hands on this new growth hormone but he gets some in a cut on his thumb! One of my favorite Benny Hill jokes goes like this... Q - What's the difference between a vitamin and a hormone?.. A - You can't make a vitamin!

Then, he glances into a mirror only to see his inner evilness starting to show through!

Things much worse than his hair piece just falling off start occurring to the jerk face.

Nice colorful close up of the professor melting away!

The good guys enter the lab and have to walk around the big gooey mess on the floor.

The cops show up with their rifles to slaughter the blood thirsty beasts on the campus.

You'll have to watch the movie to figure out this WTF?!! ending... We're back tomorrow when Eegah!! has another little treat for y'all.
