Monday Bloody Monday: The Deadly Spawn (1983)

What’s the best way to get you out of your Monday funk?  By watching 15 minutes of pure over-the-top gory awesomeness from 1983’s ‘so bad it’s good’ alien schlockfest, The Deadly Spawn.

Now if you’ve never seen The Deadly Spawn, I’m hear to tell you that you’re completely missing out.  What boggles my mind is that I remember watching this on basic TV in the afternoon, with full gore intact, when I was about 10-years-old.  If you have a fetish for seeing old people get attacked and bitten by baby aliens with jagged teeth, then today’s your lucky day.  Make sure to check out the clip around 7 minutes in if you want to see that madness unfold, but I highly recommend watching the whole 15 minutes.

Ebay Find Of The Week: Chocolate Chip Charlie Halloween Mask (The Stuff – 1985)

I always get nervous when Halloween comes around, because I feel like I can never come up with a creative, original costume.  Good thing I won’t have that problem this year, because I think I’m going to go as Chocolate Chip Charlie from the 1985 B-movie horror classic, The Stuff!

Quite possibly the most random Halloween mask I’ve ever seen, it’s a pretty good replication of what our chocolate chip guru (played masterfully by Garrett Morris) looked like when he revealed that he was indeed hooked on The Stuff.  Granted, most people won’t know who the hell you are if you wear it – but you’ll definitely get points for originality.  If you’re interested in this bad boy, head on over to Ebay HERE and snag one up for $110.  A bit pricey, but it’s hand made and painted, so think of it as supporting the arts.  And always remember:  Enough is never enough of The Stuff!  Isn’t that right, Chocolate Chip Charlie?

Retroband Reveals A ‘Motel Hell’ Action Figure!

Yes.  You read the headline correctly.  The man/company that I brag and boast about on my site, Retroband, is releasing an action figure based on the Farmer Vincent character from the 1980 B-movie classic, Motel Hell.

Not much more needs to be said really.  If you’re not impressed by that, you deserve to be castrated.  A little extreme?  Possibly.  But the work that Retroband keeps churring out is pretty impressive, so a castration seems fitting if you don’t like this Motel Hell action figure.  This piece is very limited, as are all of their products, so good luck trying to snag one.  Stay tuned to Retroband’s Instagram page HERE for updates on how to get it and for details on future releases as well!
