TRICK OR TREATS - "When Halloween Night Stopped Being Fun!" (1982)

So this is it, the night we've all been waiting for, and I think "Trick Or Treats" from 1982 is not that bad of a film to commemorate the event, and finish off our 2018 Halloween Countdown!

The basic plot here is pretty simple! It's a story about a babysitter being terrorized in jest on Halloween by a kid who is an amateur magician while his parents are in Las Vegas for the night! The side story is that the kid's Father is a maniac who has escaped from the asylum and come home to kill his wife!

 I liked "Trick Or Treats" because it's a cauldron of Pop Cult Culture and performers! To start off, these two attendants from the local insane asylum are retired NFL quarterback Dan Pastorini who played with the Houston Oilers, the Oakland Raiders, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Philadelphia Eagles! A damn fine quarterback, Dan had a 50.9% pass completion record! Dan was also married five times, his last wife being buxom blonde bombshell June Wilkinson! The other attendant is retired NFL linebacker Tim Rossovich who also played for Houston, Philadelphia, and San Diego!

 The parents of the bratty kid are Carrie (Diary Of A Mad Housewife) Snodgress and David (Death Race 2000) Carradine!!

 These two bums are Jason (Escape From Alcatraz) Ronard, and Paul (Eating Raoul) Bartel!

Need more? Steve (The Stunt Man) Railsback is the babysitter's boyfriend! Steve, Carrie, and David all have fairly small parts, but theirs are the names prominently displayed on the poster!

The real stars of "Trick Or Treats" are Jacqueline (Drive-In Massacre) Giroux who was actually married to Steve Railsback for 8 years in real life!

Chris Graver was the son of the director and writer of "Trick Or Treats," Gary Graver. After five credits, Chris decided to spend the rest of his career on the other side of the camera!

With over 250 credits under his belt, Peter (Conjuring Orson) Jason is one of the hardest working guys in modern show business! (Possibly part of the reason he did such a good job as Orson Welles is that Orson was the 'magical advisor' on "Trick Or Treats!"

The scenes of all the trick or treaters are great!!

Give us candy or I'll shoot you!!

These drunken adult trick or treaters were my favorite!

 Little Tor is pretty bizarre peering through the window!

She pleads with him to stop, but that's not going to happen!

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting parents are having a good time in Las Vegas!

"Trick Or Treats" is pretty funny, and plays like if Disney had made a horror movie.....

..... that is until the big butcher knife comes out!

 Great album cover, and of course, it's Volume 13!

 She's tired, and she finally has to tell the kid the fable about "The Little Boy Who Cried Wof," but it doesn't have any real effect on the little shit!

 There are basically only two really violent scenes, no bad language, or real nudity, just deperation and despair!

 I would have let me kids watch "Trick Or Treats" long before I would let them watch anything like "Bride Of Chucky," or any number of slasher movies, so .....
Поздравляем Вас с праздником Хэллоуин, Feliz Dia das Bruxas, Cadılar Bayramınız Kutlu Olsun, and Happy Halloween, wherever you are! Be safe!

DR. BLACK MR. HYDE / A Monster He Can't Control Has Taken Over His Very Soul! - 1976

Today we gots a tale about an African-American scientist who develops a formula to regenerate dying liver cells, but it has the unfortunate after-effect of turning him into an albino vampire with a mania for killing prostitutes! A police lieutenant investigating the murders discovers the existence of the dual-personality killer...

This thing stars Bernie (REVENGE OF THE NERDS) Casey, Rosalind (DEATH SPA - I was an extra in this one!) Cash, Marie (HUMAN EXPERIMENTS) O'Henry, Ji-Tu (MANDINGO) Cumbuka, Stu (RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN) Gilliam and more.

Sooo... The fun starts when Dr. Pride is treating a prostitute in his medical room. Here, he gives the girl a shot in the ass to make her feel at home! My favorite part of course.

Then, he moves on to his guinea pigs. He's testing his new serum to see if it helps in the regeneration of liver cells...

The next logical step, obviously, is to shoot himself up, right?!

Now an albino freak, Mr. Hyde heads out into the night to wreak some havoc. It doesn't take long before he tosses some dude through a plate-glass window!

He's looking for the Moonlight Lounge, a local hangout for prostitutes. There, he gets into a fight with Silky, the girls' pimp daddy!

Silky has this boss Cadillac that he carts his girls around in.

But, Silky crosses Mr. Hyde again! This time, Hyde chases him in his Rolls Royce and corners the pimp in a parking structure. As Hyde approaches him in the car, Silky pulls out his switchblade to protect himself! Well, Hyde has him up against the wall and guns it good, lots of bloody vomit all over them hip threads...

And, prostitutes are being killed at an alarming rate!

What else?! Hyde ends up at the Watts Towers, he's tear gassed so he climbs to the top and screams a lot. A helicopter even shows up, eating up most of the budget. Then, one of the coppers spots him!..

So, they blast away and eventually bring Hyde down after a couple of thousand bullets are fired at him! Hey, tune in Wednesday when Eegah!! has our Halloween Countdown finale... Later!
