Hurry, everyone!  Grab a Pilsner, crank up the Rammstein, and put another sausage on the barbie!  Sorry, that joke was the wurst.  As was that one.  But yes, let’s get German!  Because I have quite possibly my favorite thing I’ve found in a while for you in this post.  And that is:  The German version of the trailer for the 1988 killer slug movie…..Slugs!  I did a post about the regular American version of the trailer like a sucker last year, but this one is far superior.  Just watch and listen, and try not giggle and have a fit when the voiceover guy says “Sluuuuugs!” (echo, echo, echo)

The Magic Of The Trailer For ‘Slugs’ (1988)

Many things hold a special place in my heart.  My parents.  My memories of my dog, Snickers.  And the movie Slugs.  Yes……Slugs.  A movie about killer man-eating slugs. Trust me, in 1988 it was a thing.  And what better way to capture the wonderment of this national treasure than to watch the original theatrical trailer for the movie.  Now, let the voiceover consume everything inside you while you watch and listen…….

They Ooze.  They Slime.  The Kill.  I love that tagline.  But anyway, the other reason I’m bringing up Slugs is that the Arrow Video release of the Blu-ray is about to go out of print!  So what does that mean?  Go buy a copy NOW, ya dummy.  Don’t let this go the route of Creepshow 2 (where you’re paying triple the price to get a copy).  You’ll thank me later.  And maybe the next time you do see a slug, you’ll be a little kinder to it as well.

Ebay Find Of The Week: A Prop Slug From 1988’s ‘Slugs’

I’m finding so many random horror memorabilia gems on Ebay that I’m going to start making this a weekly feature now.  And just when you thought that a prop shark tooth from Jaws 3D could not be topped, along comes a prop slug from 1988’s cheesy gorefest, Slugs.

$_58-1

And how much is this slimy rubber sucker going for?  Only $75!  And it comes with a certificate of authenticity AND is guaranteed to have been used in the film.  To be honest, if it was $50 I might bite.  Btw, if you have seen Slugs, the slugs actually have teeth and bite.  Therefore, I had a somewhat clever pun in there.  But anyway, sadly for the seller there are no watchers yet, and only a little over a day left on the listing.  So if it’s been your dream to own a slug from Slugs, get over HERE and get it now!

Sunday Bloody Sunday: ‘Slug Salad Death’ From Slugs (1988)

I miss the days where horror movies could revolve around slow moving killer mollusks.  Welcome to 1988 and welcome to Slugs.  A light hearted movie about man-eating slugs that create a path of terror and carnage across the streets of a small town.  And this week on Sunday Bloody Sunday, I spotlight one of the best death scenes ever captured on film:  DEATH BY SALAD!

Yes, nothing better than sitting down for a nice meal with your co-workers and getting ready to enjoy a healthy, delicious, slug infested salad.  This poor bastard eats the leafy goodness, but also swallows some slugs in the process. Oops!  Needless to say, it doesn’t end well of course when you have man-eating slugs in your tummy.  Follow the pics like they did in the old days before you could find the scene on Youtube, and enjoy!  Bet you’ll be looking extra careful at that salad you order the next time, eh?
