Movie Dumpster

This week in in the video dungeon we're taking a look at a movie 16 years in the making! Originally part of the fake trailer showcase included in the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez double feature event GRINDHOUSE, Thanksgiving promised us a glorious holiday slasher throwback with all the exploitation fixin's! Now we're talking turkey, but was Eli Roth's Thanksgiving worth the wait? Sharpen up that axe, and slip into your best Boston accent because it's time to set the table for THANKSGIVING!

Effect and CauseFormer hippie and free-spirited artist Kate Collins (Susan Strasberg), after discovering a sinister painting in her collection and reusing the canvas, discovers that the laws of cause and effect are beginning to operate in reverse. She further discovers that she can also alter reality itself at random, but when she begins losing control of her newfound powers, which she believes are the result of "bad karma" accumulated from erasing the painting, things build up to an explosive conclusion. Written by Michael P. Kube-McDowell. Original Air Date: December 8, 1985

This week in the video dungeon we're talking about the Stuart Gordon helmed, Empire Pictures classic, DOLLS! Is Dolls the perfect fantasy horror film? Grab your mister punch doll, cozy up to the fireplace, and weather the storm through the longest night in the world with us while we find out!

Let’s play a game one more time, Dumpster Dwellers! Connor McGraw joins us this week for a special Dumpster trio reunion to talk about the ninth sequel, requel, smeequel in the John Kramer legacy. Nestling itself between SAW and SAW II, SAW X acts as an interstitial that weaves a questionable anti-hero storyline, showing a different side of John Kramer that we have never seen. The real lesson from this game is that if something is too good to be true, it probably is! Pack up your tool bags and trap blueprints because we're headed to Mexico for a miracle cure with SAW X!

Welcome to our October 2023 LIVE Wrap-Up!

We once again enter the world of survival horror... for the first time! The foreboding Mamiya Mansion has been closed for over 30 years after a horrible tragedy. Deadly supernatural occurrences have kept intruders and thrill seekers away, until a crew of documentary filmmakers embark to tell the real story of the mansion's tormented owner, and famous painter, Ichirō Mamiya. The crew quickly gets more than they bargained for after disturbing the ghost of Lady Mamiya, who is about to unleash the fury of a thousand angry mothers–She wants her baby back (ribs)! Debuting in 1989, Sweet Home marked the first time a video game and movie were made simultaneously to compliment each other as one entire story experience. With one of Japan's greatest horror directors, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and the talents of legendary FX maestro, Dick Smith, this oft forgotten J-horror haunted house flick is a truly terrifying experience just in time for Trick or Trash. Grab your vacuum and stay in the light because we're blowing

Unbeknownst to the outside world, a race of giant insects with shapeshifting abilities plot to infiltrate Small Town USA and execute a nuclear holocaust in retaliation. Directed by Michael Lehmann of "Heathers" fame, comes another satirical cult classic lost in the shuffle of the early 90s due to poor marketing and the collapse of New World Pictures. Join Dick, Jane, Sally, and Johnny as they try to navigate the American dream and the trials and tribulations of life as humans.

Welcome to our September 2023 LIVE Wrap-Up!

We're traveling to Transylvania with Tony from Hack The Movies and sailing on a boat with a vampire to look at another movie based on Bram Stoker's iconic novel, Dracula! Well, it's based on a chapter from the book. Kind of... Following "The Captain's Log" portion of the story, a giant Man Bat terrorizes the ship's crew while out to sea, leaving no survivors onboard when its found shipwrecked in London. Except the part where they change it or something. Grab some garlic and holy water, because you're gonna need it Dumpster Dwellers! We're knocking on wood and taking a bite out of The Last Voyage of The Demeter!

We're braving the summer heat and heading to Camp Blackfoot to talk about one of the greatest slasher movies ever made! After an accident leaves the camp's groundkeeper Cropsy horribly burned, he returns 5 years later with nothing but his garden shears and revenge on his mind! Can our latest group of horror movie teenagers survive the Cropsy maniac, or, will George Costanza, Fisher Stevens, and the rest of our campers be turned into ground meat by him and sent down stream? Don't look, he'll see you! Don't breathe, he'll hear you! Don't move, YOU'RE DEAD!!

Get ready to have a little mahogany, Dumpster Dwellers! We're back in the car with Daniel Baldwin and James Woods to hunt down some blood-sucking vampires, but this time we've got C.B. Smith with us to tell us all the differences from the book. What did John Carpenter keep for his adaptation and what did he change from John Steakley's 1990 novel, Vampire$? And why exactly is the book named Vampire Dollar Sign anyway?! Find all that and more, as we go Book to the Movie™!

16,000 feet below the ocean's surface, geologist Peter Weller is the court appointed captain of a ragtag group of precious metal miners. After Daniel Stern uncovers a safe inside of a nearby ship wreck, all hell breaks loose as a vodka-borne bio experiment starts infecting the crew, turning them into hideously deformed mutant fish monsters. Premiering the same year as James Cameron's The Abyss, this flick was unfortunately very poorly received as just some ripoff of Alien and The Thing underwater. Tony from  @HackTheMovies  joins us to reclaim this sunken treasure and bring this star-studded special effects feast to the surface! Strip down to your undies and slide into your compression suit because we are going toe to toe with the ultimate deep sea terror in LEVIATHAN.

Cruikshank, Munchie, and the entire MDU Avengers are here to help us finally put an end to The Winter Stepfather™ and the entire Stepfather trilogy once and for all!
