Instead of healing the, an evil doctor decides to use his mental patients in gruesome experiments, and ends up being killed by a not-quite-so-evil colleague for his trouble. Instead of calling the police like the sensible man he's supposed to be, the doctor just barricade the room to the evil lab and calls it a day. But, proving yet again that it's important to check for a pulse before writing somebody off, several years later the evil doctor miraculously returns for Round 2, along with his now re-animated horde of undead patients.

A group of friends walk into a mysterious wax museum and several of them don't make it out alive. Really, it's just an excuse to watch a lot of horror vignettes that are awkwardly linked together by a very cliche and overreaching narrative involving magic and Good vs. Evil.

After a nameless drifter realizes the planet is overrun with aliens, he beats up his only friend in existence (or the only person he knows who can reasonably stand him), and only THEN goes off to try to save humanity. Good plan.

Murdered cats...Dead teachers...Ill-Placed bone-saws....Zombies....Talking corpses...BLOOD!....just your typical day in the life of a science student in an 80's horror comedy.

This time the Gingerdead Man somehow manages to bust out of prison (again, wait, didn't he just die...) go back in time to the 1970's, and torment a bunch of idiots at a roller rink, all while spoofing a bunch of other, better films and TV shows in the process. Sadly, it is...not as fun as it might sound.

Jill is at a babysitting gig in the middle of nowhere Colorado when she starts getting increasingly disturbing phone calls. The police tell her they can't do anything other than track the call which—you guessed it—ends up coming from inside the house. This is the film that answers the question: What would happen if we took that awesome, near flawless opening from the same 1979 film starring Carol Kane, and turned it into a feature-length film? Does it work? Well, a little yes, and a little no. Because as it turns out, stretching out the tension exhibited in the 1979 original's killer opening is actually hella hard.
