As we get closer to the Halloween season, spooky new events seem to be announced left and right, including Scream Factory's 31 Nights of Horror live stream lineup, Boston Underground Film Festival's 1st annual Buff-o-Ween, and the VOD and Blu-ray release of Harpoon.
Scream Factory's 31 Nights of Horror Details: "This October, Shout! Factory TV and Scream Factory proudly present 31 Nights of Horror. Fans can tune in each evening throughout the entire month for a double feature that’s sure to satisfy cravings for all things creepy.
Each night of the stream will feature a genre favorite such as Chopping Mall, Witchboard, The Exorcist III, the original Willard, and many more. And since no skeleton is complete without a funny bone, each movie will be followed by a distinctively eerie episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, including episodes MST3K: Night of the Blood Beast, MST3K: The Slime People and MST3K: The Crawling Eye.

For me, what mainly constitutes a “bad” film is intention. Some cynically contrived mega blockbuster without a spark of creativity will sit with me far worse than 12 people with a camera and a story, no matter how insane (or inane) that story may be. For example, The Horror of Party Beach (1964) is both, and so much more; it’s an energetic monster romp filled with killer music, bikini dancing, gougin’ gore, and boppin’ bikers. And while the kitchen sink is sadly not included, Severin Films’ new Blu has plenty of groovy extras to lure unsuspecting bathers down to the sunny shores of *checks notes* Connecticut. It’s a gas and a half, you dig?

Favorite camp hilarity — a drive-in kick when new, Del Tenney’s gloppy monsters ‘n’ bikinis epic has persevered as a nutty exemplar of ‘sixties escapist fun. Mutated aquatic zombies with goo-goo-googly eyes ravage teen girls for their blood — in between sets by the swingin’ Del-Aires. And don’t forget the soulful housemaid, Eulabelle!

Every horror fan has their favorite type of monster. Some people love shambling zombies, others prefer squid-faced aliens from beyond the stars, and I’m sure there are a few people out there who would swear that The Mangler is the greatest beast to grace the silver screen. But for me, one archetype has always reigned supreme: the scaly fish-man.
I can’t explain why, but ever since I was a kid, sea life has always interested me, so it should come as no surprise that as far as famous monsters go, the Gill-man’s always been my favorite. Unfortunately, being a fan of the Gill-man can lead to some issues. Unlike Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy, the Gill-man was an original creation of Universal, and as such, was not in the public domain. So, while there are many great films bearing those iconic names, the Creature from the Black Lagoon only has three,...

Sometimes great little oddities will fly under the radar. And sometimes they barrel roll out of the sky and blast through the earth never to be seen again. The Flesh Eaters (1964) is a prime example of digging through the filmic wreckage and dredging up a low budget winner. Sure, it’s not Citizen Kane, but it’s probably the Citizen Kane of Killer Microbes Versus Buxom Blondes On An Island With A German Scientist movies.
The Flesh Eaters should be just more low budget fodder from an era when any flickering images were sacrificed to the Drive-In Gods (see the same years’ The Horror of Party Beach – or rather, don’t). The set up and pedigree sure don’t help the argument – five people stranded on an island battle a monster, it’s an independent production, and a first (and last) time director helms – but a convergence of actual talent...

I cannot tell you how often we here at Dread Central are asked to recommend some good horror movies. Most of the time when we answer, we're met with a kind of stunned silence because 8 times out of 10 the same people asking have never heard of our recommendations.
Now, instead of just naming titles, we can direct the inquisitive chill seeker to a single book... Dr. AC Presents Hidden Horror. Having had a chance to peruse this terror tome, we can assure you that it's nothing short of an indispensable resource to those new to the genre as well as those who are as jaded as they come. The holidays are coming, kids! We recommend this be added to the shopping list Asap. If not... Santa Will Punish, and rightly so!

“I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.”
—Hugh Hefner
There are films that bear in their frames the traces of an epoch, evoking the mythical dimension of collective memories, of mass-consumed rituals. Since its social origins as a marketable target group, adolescence, from the early 50s onwards, has been a repository for branded adventures, fabled romances and (un)forgettable first-times. Thanks to the hypnotic wealth a fattened middle class started to enjoy in the aftermath of a very profitable Second World War, for the first time in human history, a considerable slice of American youth had substantial spending power at its disposal.

John Landis starts the "Mutants, Ghosts & Devils" week with the trailer for "The Horror of Party Beach"... This mini-budget Connecticut-shot indie originally featured garbage-like monster designs that recalled the Mad Magazine character The Heap, but somewhere along the way these pollution-created monsters were re-imagined to look more like the rubbery "bears" familiar from The Outer Limits tv series. Some theaters encouraged customers to sign a "Fright Release" before they could see the picture. In any case it's a pretty terrible movie.

We’re leaping into the Wayback Machine for this week’s B-Sides, way back to the surf rock days of 1964 when the beach party and horror genre collided head on in a creature feature called The Horror of Party Beach and a groovy garage band called The Del-Aires wanted us all to do the “Zombie Stomp”.
Nobody will ever confuse Del Tenney’s The Horror of Party Beach for a good movie but it is certainly one of your quintessential so-bad-it’s-good movies.
As swinging teens beach party up a storm and face the pickle-mouthed terror of zombie gillmen spawned from toxic waste, a happening New Jersey surf band named The Del-Aires serenade them with a half dozen rockin’ ditties, the most famous of which, and arguably the film’s catchiest number, being a kitschy tune called “Zombie Stomp”.

A remake of John De Bello’s cult film Attack Of the Killer Tomatoes has been in the works for nearly 3 years, but nothing has been heard about it in a good while. However, Bello was asked by Undead Brainspasm about the status of the film. “No updates that I can share at the moment. I guess if they can remake ‘The Horror of Party Beach,’ then ‘Killer Tomatoes’ should be a lock, eh? Alas, even vicious veggies fall victim to the vagaries of Hollywood deal making. Anything is possible with ‘Killer Tomatoes’… while a remake remains a tantalizing possibility, to paraphrase William Goldman: ‘Ya never know’,” he said. So, it looks as though this film is safe from the remake disease running through Hollywood.
The film began a cult hit after its release and spawned several sequels, video games, an animated TV series, toys, comic books, and other merchandising.

The Horror of Party Beach is one of those beloved old flicks that are so ridiculous it's nearly impossible to resist the wiles of its charm. And like any movie that's ever made us happy in any way, a remake is of course on its way with someone super tackling the directorial duties.
Fangoria reports today that William Katt (House, Mirrors 2, "The Greatest American Hero") will be bringing us a remake of this timeless tale of men in rubber suits attacking jovial dancing teenagers.
I didn’t realize that it had quite an extensive fan base — it’s kind of a drive-in cult classic — and it has a real pizazz", says Katt of the original film. "Kind of an old-fashioned word, but I don’t know how better to describe it. So our job as filmmakers is to try and pay homage to the film and update it at the same time.

On Fangoria, Willaim Katt (Greatest American Hero) stated this about his upcoming directorial stab at the remake of 1964′s The Horror of Party Beach (aka Invasion of the Zombies): “One of the things we’re doing here to pay homage to the original is, these kids are throwing a ’60s-themed party on the beach, and everybody is dressed in that style. They’re modern kids who are fans of that era, and having fun with it, but they’re getting killed at the same time.”
The original was directed by Del Tenney, who wanted to spoof the beach film craze of the late 1950s. The film was wildly forgotten until it gained a cult status from being ripped apart by Mystery Science Theater 3000. Here’s the goofball plot of the 1964 original: “[from Wiki] A small U.S. East Coast beach town experiences a wave of attacks from water plants and...

Bryan Ortiz treats his audience to a bewildering array of false starts, adverts, infomercials and 1950's style premieres before the real meat of his extremely ambitious project is offered, he then sets out to satirise and entertain with a bewildering little comic/horror gem that is far better than it perhaps deserves to be. Doctor S Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie (phew!) is a lovingly crafted and utterly bizarre homage to the wrong end of drive-in cinema and midnight movies. Shot in black and white and with a rocking surf-guitar soundtrack straight out of The Horror of Party Beach, it's a grindhouse influenced gem of a film with comic moments and sly nods, winks and subtle (and not so subtle) references to the films of the era,...
