My Best Friend is a Vampire (The Lost Collection) (1988)

My Best Friend is a Vampire (The Lost Collection) (1988)

Let's face it - to many people, vampirism isn't all the horror it's made out to be, it's just an alternative lifestyle! You drink a bit of blood and get to live ten times longer than anyone else. Nothing to it. At least that's what Jeremy Capello thinks when he gets a little deeper than the average love-bite from a hot date. Before he knows it, his reflection in the bathroom mirror has vanished; he can't stand the smell of garlic; and he's developed an overwhelming passion for raw steak. Things don't seem to bad until a crazed vampire-hunter starts chasing him. A classic 80s horror-comedy now available on DVD.

Slaughter High (The Lost Collection) (1985) CLICK FOR MORE INFO OR TO ORDER

Eight different people are invited to a five-year high school reunion at their now closed down high school where a former student, disfigured from a prank gone wrong, awaits to take revenge.

There's Horror in the Halls... Lynching in the Lunchroom... Murder in Metal Shop. I always remember this movie for the scene where the guy chugs a beer filled with acid and it eats through his guts !

A poster of "Pieces" (1982) is visible on the Porno Movie Manager's office wall when he's talking with Carol over the phone.
Star Caroline Munro was actually 36 years old during this film where she played a 'teenage' heroine.
The films working title was "April Fool's Day", however the title was changed to keep this film from being confused with the Paramount film April Fool's Day (1986) which was released the same year.

Happy Birthday To Me (1981) Re Release to be released on October 13, 2009

Welcome to upscale Crawford Academy, where everyone – especially new student Ginny (Melissa Sue Anderson of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE) – wants to be part of the school’s most popular clique. But now somebody has begun butchering the group’s members. Could a deadly accident from Ginny’s past be connected to the brutal killings? And as her 18th birthday approaches, will Ginny be the guest of honor at the most horrific party of all? Matt Craven (DISTURBIA), Lawrence Dane (SCANNERS) and Hollywood legend Glenn Ford (THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, 3:10 TO YUMA) co-star in this twisted slasher shocker from Oscar®-nominated director J. Lee Thompson (THE GUNS OF NAVARONE) that features – as its infamous poster promised – “six of the most bizarre murders you will ever see!”

Hopefully this will be an uncut version !! AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER

Trivia

The Press reported that in order to keep the "twist" ending a secret several endings were shot. This is untrue but helped hide the fact that while shooting, the film had no ending. The script was written with one ending that made sense to the story, but did not have a twist. So producers proceeded to film while tinkering with a twist. This explains why there is no build up to the ending.
Most ads and posters for film carried a photo of a young man about to be orally impaled on skewer of meat and vegetables, with the slogan "John Will Never Eat Skisk Kebab Again." However, there is no character in the movie with this name.

A forgotten Underrated Classic Slasher

The Funhouse (1981)

Something is alive in the funhouse...something that has the form of a human, but not the face...something that feeds off the flesh and blood of young innocents...

A great one Directed Tobe Hopper

The opening sequence is an homage to both Psycho (1960) and Halloween (1978).
Steven Spielberg asked Tobe Hooper to direct E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) but he turned it down because he was busy on this movie. However Hooper and Spielberg would work together on Poltergeist (1982).
