NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2 / Angela's Throwing Another Party...Trick Or Treat, Suckers! - 1994

Here's a good flick for Halloween Countdown, the story's about Angela, the ultimate unpleasant party crasher! Angela's sister is taken by her bullying Catholic school classmates to a party at Angela's favorite haunted house, and before long, everybody's being turned into a big pile o' demons! And, only an ass-kicking nun can save the day!!

This thing stars Cristi (KISS OF DEATH) Harris, Darin (DR. GIGGLES) Heames, Robert (DR. ALIEN) Jayne, Merle (BUBBLE BOY) Kennedy and Amelia (NIGHT OF THE DEMONS) Kinkade.

It starts with two guys spying on girls in their dormitory, a really great way to start any movie!!

Here's a nice shot of the gang leaving the school, heading out to their favorite place to party, what else, the haunted house from the first movie!

It's a creepy place to be sure, and before long, freakin' Angela and her helper are preparing for a sacrifice! Seriously, what the Hell.

That fails but then we catch a gander of Angela's handiwork, a for real demon!

If you remember, the first NOTD had a scene where Linnea Quigley stuck a lipstick tube into her boob! In this one though, the tube is full of a creepy ten foot long, I guess worm, that has a sick mind of its own!!

Oh, and by the way... Fucking, OUCH!!!

What a cool shot from outside the haunted property, nice, moody atmosphere!

The word gets out to some nuns and they arrive with their holy water. What better way to deliver death to the demons than holy water in a squirt gun?!

Angela is so demonized that she's ready to sacrifice her own sister to Satan!

But instead, she gets soaked with holy water and dissolves right in front of our eyes!

Then, this snake thing shows up to steal the show! It batters the crap out of the good guys and it seems like it will be the winner of the battle.

Then, a wall panel is kicked through and the bright sunlight 'splodes the monster into a million little pieces, and, the day is saved!!

But, at the end, that damn lipstick tube shows up, making way for NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 3 ~ Like, tune in Wednesday when Eegah!! adds another notch to the old musket!

SHINDIG HALLOWEEN SHOW - Season 2 - Episode 14 (1965)

 

Tonight's All Soul's Day Special is the Halloween episode numbered 2.14 of the popular 60's thirty minute musical TV show called "Shindig!"

The host of "Shindig was a fellow named Jimmy O'Neill.

The guest host of this episode was up and coming teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman!

Bobby rides a bicycle, falls down, and does two very short Beatles covers "Help," and "I'm Down!" 

Pretty tricky!

Because it's a special Halloween show, Lurch from "The Addams Family" shows up!

Ted Cassidy, six foot nine inches tall, and he only lived to be 46! What a shame!

Still very popular at the time, Boris Karloff is the real star of the scary show!

This is where it gets bizarre! Boris does a cover of Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "The Monster Mash" who was doing a Boris impersonation, so Boris is actually copying a guy who was copying him!

The main backing band on this episode were Jim Doval and the Gauchos who were at about the height of their career. I don't know what happened, maybe somebody found out they were from Fresno, but these guys just kind of disappeared after this.

We used to watch a teen dance TV show after school in the 60's broadcast from Fresno called "KMAK Cabaret" that Jim Doval was on a lot. I sold this record of his I had a few years ago. It's pretty weird!

Jackie and Gayle perform "Everybody's Gone To The Moon!" Everybody except them, unfortunately!

Bobby strikes back with "Memphis!"

 "Hello Information........"

The Spokesman perform Phil Ochs' "There But For Fortune!" 44 years later and a song by The Spokesman was used on "Breaking Bad!"

I don't know what to say about them having Boris talk/sing "The Peppermint Twist," except it could have only been weirder if Salvador Dali had been there with him singing background vocals!

It's is really amazing how things work. Billy Preston is here playing on this show with Jim Doval, and while Jim's career seemingly went nowhere, four years later Billy Preston would be considered by many to be the fifth Beatle!

Billy Preston's organ dominated the Beatles tune "Get Back" so much that it got him a credit as being the only person whose name would be officially used on a Beatles' song beside The Beatles!

Even if this a terrible crappy copy of the show, you've got to admit it makes you feel good to see Lurch out of makeup and smiling!

"No Matter What They Say.......ROCK ON!"

THE BUTCHERS / aka MAXIE - 1973

Today's post is about a young mute girl names Maxie who discovers that a local butcher and his pal are using his store as a front for murder and then becomes the target to silence her.

This one stars K.T. (her only acting credit) Baumann as Maxie, Morgan (LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT) Upton, Ford (only acting credit) Clay, Robert (BLUE SUNSHINE) Walden, Vic (T-BIRD GANG) Tayback and Talia (THE DUNWICH HORROR) Shire.

Dubious things seem to be happening at the old butcher shop, strange cargo is being delivered to that address in a black vintage Packard hearse!

We are privy to some of the choppy action in the butcher shop, where the saying 'meat is meat' is the order of the day...

The shop owner Smedke and his assistant Finn spy on the public through the front window.

Here's the mute Maxie in the liquor store, she ends up buying a copy of Marvel's Amazing Spider-Man comic. She likes to draw and has a pile of her own artwork.

Back at the farm, the chickens get loose and Finn has a Hell of a time getting them back in their cages, and ends up with some nice scratches on his face!

Smedke checks out his latest supply of 'meat' brought in by Finn. Hmmm...

Okay, so, it's found out that Maxie has seen too much and fear that she will spill the beans on them to the authorities. The only logical thing to do then is kidnap her ass, right?!

Here's Maxie at home with her teacher Sommers and her dad. Dad and Sommers get in a snit over how Maxie should be taught...

Then, Finn kidnaps Maxie and takes her to a warehouse where he keeps watch over her. Dad and Sommers go in search of the mute but only find her little red wagon, tipped over!

Finn hands off Maxie to Smedke, then goes and crashes the Packard meatmobile but good, putting him totally out of commission.

Inside the shop, Smedke tries to take a butcher knife away from Maxie and gets stabbed in the stomach. She runs away and Smedke grabs the knife and follows her.

Alas, Smedke grabs Maxie and takes her outside where he's confronted by dad and Sommers. After a fight, Smedke falls on the knife, bringing this Halloween Countdown post to an end... And, you should end up coming back tomorrow for something Eegah!! has up his sleeve!
