    The Undertaker and His Pals (1967), about an undertaker in murderous cahoots with a pair of restaurant owners who, disguised as motorcyclists, abduct and murder women, then serve them up as specials of the day (one running joke is that the specials are named after the victims; for instance, a woman named Mrs. Poultry is served up as "breast of chicken" -- ba dum bum).

    I first read about this flick in John McCarthy's "The Official Splatter Movie Guide" way back in the late '80s, but have only just now got around to checking it out. I should have watched it earlier and got it over with, as this is little more than a poorly concocted attempt at a Hershel Gordon Lewis-type splatter comedy that misses by a mile on both counts. Amateurish and ineffective in nearly every way, the only genuine laugh occurs in the first 5 minutes; the remaining 58 are little more than a painfully unfunny endurance test. At least it's short (though it doesn't at all feel like it). 1/10

    I'd wager most fans wouldn't consider this among Argento's best, but I love it. Despite having one of Argento's least coherent narratives, and despite some conspicuous gaffes (for example, it's almost impossible NOT to see the animal wrangler's hands throwing cats into frame at one point) there's just something about it, a kind of nightmare logic, that, combined with its visual design and Argento's contrasting themes of fire and water, I find completely absorbing. There's definitely a lot more going on in this flick than folks tend to give it credit for, I think.

    Anyway...

    Most recent horror movie I just watched: Streets of Death (1987), an SOV obscurity about a pair of detectives on the hunt for a killer or prostitutes. I'd only seen this once before, many years ago, and despite my soft spot for circa 80s-90s SOV flicks, I didn't think much of it. This re-watch didn't change anything. 2/10

    Hell House LLC- 8/10. Was surprised at how well this one was done. There were some issues with it, but it definitely got a bit creepy at times.

    As Above, So Below- 5/10. Was just okay. I suppose worth the $4 I got it for at Walmart, but just barely.

    Ghostwatch- 9/10. Loved this one. Wish I could have experienced it back when it was aired, largely unknown that it was a fake news broadcast. And even outside of that fun origin for it, it was a damn good movie.

    Downrange- 4/10. The gore was pretty good. The story was okay. Everything else was boring.

    Never heard of this one. On the list.

    Going through the video nasties for a panel next weekend. I enjoyed it, while yeah not Argento's best work it has a charm to it.

    Just watched:
    Madhouse (1981)
    Nightmare (1981)
    Dead & Buried (1981)

    Right on. I've seen most of the Video Nasties flicks, except for the majority of the sexploitation/Nazisploitation/women in prison stuff. I'm not prude by a long shot, I've just never had any interest in those types of flicks.
