The House by the Cemetery (1981)

SYNOPSIS: Strange things happen when a family moves into a mansion next to a cemetery. They find a maggot-spewing zombie doctor living in the basement!
HIGHS: A beard & a turtleneck - two things Sammy enjoys in a man. Baby Mick Jagger (named BOB of all things) - lips! lips! lips! Freudstein! Gore-fest! Super intense eye closeups.
LOWS: Quality voice over skills. That's one mighty bat - death by scissors, Bob gets splattered. Tiny axe to the rescue.
MEMORABLE LINES: Real estate agent: Damn tombstone!

HIGHS: Shadow sex scene (saucy!), attack (stuffed) black cat, sweet camera spin, staged zoom-in (dramatic!), kinky ghost sex (hot!).
LOWS: Dead cat in shower :(
MEMORABLE LINES: Possessed Miss Tanner to Roddy: You might have been hot stuff when you were fifteen, but now you're SHIT! Mrs. Barrett to Mr. Barrett: Can I help you with something? Mr. Barrett: No, it's too complicated. (In sexist, demeaning tone.)

The Blob (1988)

SYNOPSIS: A vile, malignant life-form crashes to earth - untroubled by intellect. It does only one thing - and it does it well!
HIGHS: So gross it's awesome! That's one crafty blob - who knew a blob could have tentacles? All the better to pull the victims in. Blob so scary - Johnny does not like. Some sweet mullets. Bruno bites it head-first down the drain. Blob-sicles.
LOWS: Surprisingly, none!
MEMORABLE LINES: Kevin Dillon: All I saw was an old man with a funky hand. Army Dude: Chew on that, slime ball! Movie Trailer: If it had a face, you could look it in the eye! Terror has no shape.
NOTES: Only the greatest movie with a blob EVER!

The Wizard of Gore (2007)
