"Giant Dongs with Teeth".

Brain Damage 1988. Not really a dong, but an eel like parasite with nasty teeth. It does come out of a guys pants and attacks a woman through her mouth. So, dongish?

I came back from watching CW last night. For some reason, the popcorn were served in BvS buckets.

I know we're off topic, but do you remember this one?

You have scored some major 80's crap horror geek points with me mr.

They should start putting the RT scores on the popcorn buckets.

I've read the guy who does the Dinosaur Dracula blog writing about the combined fear and interest he had as a kid, seeing horror movie covers on VHS tapes at the local mom and pop rental store. And I had a similar experience. A lot of it frightened the hell out of me, but I was oddly drawn to it, and wanted to know more about a lot of it. This might be a common experience by those of us of a certain age. I also vividly recall some of the posters and cardboard ads. The one for Ghoulies really stuck out to me.

I can totally relate to that Khev & Kara.

I remember doing the exact same thing at my local video place back in the day. I can still remember seeing the cover of that Dario Argento movie 'Demons' & instantly being frightened.. yet intrigued at the same time. Others like 'Blood Sucking Freaks' & 'Basketcase' were just as morbidly interesting to me, but of course I was never going to be able to watch them. I did end up watching BSF in the 90s though & although kinda funny, it was a huge schlocky disappointment.

Well here is my quick story on how I became a horror movie aficionado connoisseur.

Star Wars obviously played a part in it but working in a few seedy mom and pop VHS videostores with a healthy porn section, hookers every where and a TON of horror movies was the primary catalyst.

Just getting to work was an adventure in itself.

I have very fond memories of our store being raided by the authorities to confiscate those Traci Lords movies.

Anyways, my focus was horror movies and my collection of the movies, posters and cardboard stands could not be touched!

All culminated with being taught make up effects by Troma queen herself Jennifer Aspinal.

I will carry that passion to my grave.

Horror movies, Fangoria and 70's/80's heavy metal, what a WIN (I love all forms of music though but 70's/80's metal was fun, had to mention 70's not to neglect , Sabbath, Led Zepp and Halen ).

So yeah, Deadly Spawn ftw!

If they put RT scores on toilet paper I might be interested.

That's funny. I never considered how that was all handled.

 

[jye4ever]

Oh yeah we were all scrambling to keep copies for ourselves, our store had a ton of copies lol

That is hilarious. If I was old enough back then I would've done the same.

I remember watching a few of her movies when I was young. My friends father own a video store and would let me rent everything. One day all of her movies were there the next they were all gone. He said the cops came and took them.

 

[Khev]

Back then not only did you not know if a tape you rented would be rewound or not but if you didn't immediately open the case you never knew if you even had the right movie. The most infamous occurrence of that for me was being a kid and my parents letting me pick a movie (probably some random Tim Conway/Don Knotts flick like Gus or The Apple Dumpling Gang) and then getting home and taking out the tape to see it read "The Gates of Hell" on the label. I was all "ooh, cool, ha ha ha," put it in, watched about 15 minutes and it utterly scared the **** out of me.

 

[chewblacca]

That's hilarious!

I can't recall the last time I saw a "be kind, rewind" sign. Renting videos in a store really was an experience and as a kid I looked forward to that every week. I can only remember going to Erol's video and Blockbuster. I do have a memory of going to video store and seeing Big Mama Jama on one of the shelves. That was an eye opener! Don't Google that BTW.

One cool thing about our first VCR was that it had manually adjustable tuners that I could use to filter scrambled cable channels. Basically all the cable company was doing was adding background noise to those channels and my VCR was able to tune out the noise. Hello Playboy channel!

Why were the traci lords movies confiscated?
