Midnight Spookshow

by Duane Bradley

Ask anyone who’s been to their local multiplex anytime recently and they’ll tell you that mediocrity is the order of the it’s all sequels, reboots and superhero movies. If you want a truly memorable viewing experience, you’re better off searching for the kind of sleazy, cheesy, occasionally reprehensible films your local plex would pay NOT to show. From masked Mexican wrestlers to fish-men that want your girlfriend not for food but to mate with, Midnight Spookshow will introduce you to over 100 below-the-radar alternatives. Call them schlock, guilty pleasures or Z-movies (go ahead, we don’t care) but there’s a strange appeal to their lack of elegance and often baffling narratives. Anything can happen, and usually does.

Fun Read

I paid very little for this title. I felt like I more than got my money’s worth . Give it read...

A quick and fun romp through some of the best worst films ever made. The author obviously has affection for these types of movie (as do i) and writes about them with his tongue firmly in his cheek although sometimes the humour falls a little flat and appears forced. Otherwise an unassuming, fun read that didn't lead to any new discoveries to add to my watch list but rounded up the usual suspects quite nicely.
