BOOGIE VISION / James Bryan Productions - 1977

So, here's a whacked out flick about a struggling independent hippie filmmaker who gets his big break after he finds out that his girlfriend's father is a movie producer. Unknown to the filmmaker is that the father only specializes in porno pictures! So, he cranks out a crappy science fiction stinker in three days but daddy demands countless changes and cannot figure out how to distribute the damn thing.

The best thing about this movie is showing what LA looked like in 1977, so, I'm just going to show some interesting shots rather than try and piece together the dumb ass story...

First of all, there's a lot of amateurish artwork shown throughout the movie...

A nice shot of this biker strutting his stuff, probably at Venice Beach!

To me, this shot of a desperate nude girl in her room really reminds me of 1977.

And, a typical looking dude on the good old Six O'Clock News.

I love everything about this picture!!

Another great shot! Eegah!! had one of the very first skateboards back in I think, 1961, one with the old small metal roller skate wheels. Back then, your worst enemy was a little pebble on the sidewalk!

Then, this!.. It's a pyramid (pyramids were very popular at that time) cooker oven!!

I just love the seediness of this building, brings back memories.

HEEEY!!.. I used to build model balsa wood airplanes like that when I was a kid!

Looks like this damn bottle of coke is somewhere on Mars!

You figure out what's going on here... What a weird mixture of 1977.

Man, that's what I call a beautiful night shot!

I'm going to have to edit the crap outta this thing!

This art dude is working on his project, he's apparently attaching painted objects to a nude with a staple gun! That's what I call good art!

Nudes attack the Dragon Lady!!

Look at the shit they could get away with in 1977!

Then, the nudes try to figure out how to use this robot to their advantage.

A shot of some beautiful vintage syrup and sugar dispenser collectibles!

The perspective is so bad on this drawing, that, we'll just end here! Check in tomorrow for something special, here, at The Dungeon!!

HARD ROCK ZOMBIES - Paul Sabu - "Shake It Out!" (1985)

For once, we get an honest poster, because "Hard Rock Zombies" the movie, is just as shitty as this poster! Welcome back to The Dungeon!

 Paul Sabu is the guy responsible for the music! Paul is the son of the legendary jungle boy Sabu known for his roles in "The Jungle Book," and "The Thief Of Baghdad," etc.
Paul also wrote the music for the classics "Ghoulies II," and "Meatballs 4!"

 This is E.J. Curse as Jessie, the bass player and lead vocalist for the band! E.J. had his own hair band called Silent Rage!! He comes across as a cross between Freddie Mercury and Freddie Prinze!

 As far as I can tell, the fictional band in the movie doesn't even have a name, they're just a hardworking, hard rock band! This club they're playing in holds about 40 people, and the song they're playing is probably the best one in the movie. Here's an abbreviated version of "Shake It Out!" It's 9000% better than anything KISS ever did!

 And out of that 40, half of them are groupies!!

 On the road again, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it was 1985, so they had to make a stupid video! It was mandatory!

 Speaking of bad videos, here's a YouTube video from an MTV Headbanger's Ball that featured a band called Silent Rage. doing a song called "Rebel With A Cause!" The quality of the video is so bad, I can't tell if it's the same band or not! The song is bad enough, so it must be! Lots and lots of hair, that's for sure!

You can see for yourself, that their career is not going so well!

 Then they meet these Nazi midget guys, and their whole life goes to Hell real quick! (But not really quick enough for me!!)

 The Nazi midgets make sure the band puts on an electrifying performance!

 Then why not? Hitler himself shows up!

 And it just gets weirder and weirder!

 Time to get up close and personal with Grandma!!

 Yeah, this family has some real issues that go back a few generations!!

Nice record collection rivals my own!!

The moral of this story with no morals is:
Never, Ever Pick Up Hitchhikers!!

I admit I had to bail at the end, but the only decent version I could find to watch for free was in what else, but German? Interesting! I also found another version to watch but it was going at about time and a half, so everybody and all the songs sounded like they were on helium, but when DVD's are going for $19.80 and $17.99 on Amazon and eBay, and you want to see a classic 80's hot mess like this, you take what you can get!

FLESHEATER / H&G Films Ltd., Hinzman - 1988

The tagline for this $60.000 production goes... He lived, he died, he's back, and he's hungry! The simple story line goes like this... A group of teenagers are taking a hayride and the tractor driver comes across a human grave, inside is a zombie! Now, the teens are falling victim and becoming zombies themselves and eventually there are zombies everywhere!

This is the production of the first zombie you see at the beginning of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, Bill Hinzman. There's a tombstone tie in with the original.

Here are the pile of teens on their way to a picnic site. Boy, talk about a great place to have some of that there teenage fun, WOW!

Weird freakin' place to put a latrine!!

Bill, who was in the coffin, finds two teens in the barn and decides to join in on the fun!.. KILL BILL!!!

The first guy Bill kills turns into a zombie and returns the favor with another tractor pilot!

Here's a nice shot of Bill as checks out the teen scene... Hey, you guys wanna play?

Then, some of the live teens find their two friends, well, kinda... DEAD! But, not for long.

This is Terrie Godfrey as The Dispatcher, one of her four acting credits.

Good old Bill wanders into this gal's bedroom and offers to give her a nice neck rub!

One of the teens tries to convince this 'non-zombie believer' that there are a bunch of zombies chasing them around!

This Dracula dude at a Halloween party chugs down a cold beer, just before he dies!

This is probably the creepiest scene as this zombie comes at the teens while a lamp swings back and forth, creating an interesting effect.

The local yokels bring their rifles out for a little zombie target practice!.. YEE-HAW!!

And, they top the whole thing off by shooting a little girl zombie!! Ahhh, the eighties!

Bill gets the last word!.. Nuf' said!!.. Okay, we're back Wednesday with even more wild and weird stuff, just for you'se!
