THE TWILIGHT ZONE SEASON TWO (1961)
Episodes 25-29Retro-reviewed by Ambush Bug
With the release of the Complete Season Collector’s Box Set of TWILIGHT ZONE on DVD from Image Entertainment a few months ago, I’ve been celebrating by checking out each episode and tossing out my two cents on a semi-weekly basis. Now that I’m also looking back at the MONSTERS TV series, which was just released in a swanky box set, I’ll be switching back and forth between the two series on a bi-weekly basis to cover both over the next few months. Let’s finish up THE TWILIGHT ZONE Season Two…

Directed by Boris Sagal
Written by Rod Serling
Starring Franchot Tone, Liam Sullivan, Jonathan Harris, Cyril Delevanti
This fantastic episode exemplifies how creative and fun TWILIGHT ZONE can be while still maintaining its bite. I always liked the way Serling wrote people who don’t get along with one another, be it a man and wife or, as exemplified here, two men in a social club who dislike one another. This episode is all about status and how a loud mouth and bravado can be mistaken for it. A chatterbox braggart gets on the nerves of a socialite who then challenges him to be locked in a room and be silent for a solid year. As the days tick by, tension mounts exponentially and while I saw the twist coming, it still was a fantastic trip there mainly due to the dueling performances of Franchot Tone & Liam Sullivan. Add LOST IN SPACE’s Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) to the mix and you’ve got a winner of an episode.

Directed by John Brahm
Written by Charles Beaumont
Starring Dennis Weaver, Harry Townes, Wright King, William Edmondson, Anne Barton
Writer Charles Beaumont brings one of the more existential episodes to the TWILIGHT ZONE this time around about a man who believes everything that is happening to him is simply a reoccurring dream. Now I guess if this were an enjoyable dream it’d be ok, but the dream Dennis Weaver re-experiences over and over is the slow walk to the electric chair. While most write his words of fully realized dreams off as the ravings of a madman, some begin to believe that they aren’t actually people, just fully realized constructions of his own mind. I could see audiences back when this first aired having a bit of trouble wrapping their brains around this episode’s heady concepts, but this plays now as one of the most compelling tales of the series and proof of how prolific this series could be.

Directed by Buzz Kulik
Written by Rod Serling
Starring Shelley Berman, Jack Grinnage, Chet Stratton
Another existential romp as a man (Shelley Berman), sick of the hustle and bustle of every day city life, finds a self help book that opens up a new world for him where he can envision his mind conquering matter. This New Agey way of thinking works, and he walks around the empty subway and through his empty office enjoying his solitude. Of course, no man is an island, and eventually the solitude morphs into loneliness. Sure this is a bit simplistic, but still a fun episode, especially since there are days when I empathize with Berman’s quandary. Berman is great in this one man show of an episode.

Directed by Montgomery Pittman
Written by Rod Serling
Starring Jack Elam, John Hoyt, Bill Kendis, Barney Phillips, Bill Erwin, Gertrude Flynn, Jean Willes, Morgan Jones, John Archer
This whodunit of an episode is all kinds of fun. With a quick and pointed script of about a bunch of strangers in a room suspicious of one another and some fantastic performances, this story about a crashed spaceship and a set of footprints in the snow leading to a diner really entertains. Serling’s script is great in that it pits everyone in the room against one another once the paranoia sets in. Though this is a fun issue, it touches upon the same paranoia that is handled so well in INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and especially the blowtorch scene in JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING. This one is filled with fun surprises all the way up until the end and if you think that pic over there is a major spoiler as to who the real Martian is, think again.

Directed by Elliot Silverstein
Written by Rod Serling
Starring Burgess Meredith, Fritz Weaver, Josip Elic
The always fantastic Burgess Meredith takes on Fritz Weaver in a battle of wills in a futuristic tale where books, religion, free thought, and just about anything that makes humanity unique is deemed obsolete. When Meredith’s character is sentenced to death, he asks for his death to be on his own terms and ends up turning the tables and putting the twisted beliefs of this horrific society against itself. It’s a fantastic tale, dire in tone and maybe a little preachy, but Meredith and Weaver sell it and the ending of this one is downright nightmarish.
Well, that’s it for Season Two of TWILIGHT ZONE. In two weeks we dive into the third, which will be the final season we cover in this massive TZ retrospective. See you next week with more MONSTERS episodes!

HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN (1976)
aka THE CONFESSIONAL, THE CONFESSIONAL MURDERSDirected by Pete Walker
Written by David McGillivray, Pete Walker
Starring Anthony Sharp, Susan Penhaligon, Stephanie Beacham, Norman Eshley, Sheila Keith, Hilda Barry, Stewart Bevan, Julia McCarthy, John Yule, Bill Kerr, Victor Winding
Retro-reviewed by Ambush Bug
One of Peter Walker’s last films is one of his best. I’ve been a fan of Walker’s ever since I caught FRIGHTMARE back in the day on VHS when I was probably 10. While he never achieved the status of a Romero or a Fulci or an Argento, Walker’s films were fantastic odes to the macabre mysteries and bent psyches that made Hitchcock famous with PSYCHO. Many of the same themes seen in PSYCHO can be found littered throughout Walker’s films, a quality that can also be said about the Walker film du jour: THE HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN.


With the inclusion of Meldrum’s mother and his tendency to confess his devious plans to her, there are definite shades of PSYCHO afoot throughout the film, but instead of a hotel and a spooky house Walker highlights the spooky aspects of a silent, dark church here for the setting of the terrors. The concept of the priest getting off on the sins in a confessional booth might be something that has been used for laughs in other films, but here it’s a concept that is downright bone-chilling, mostly due to Anthony Sharp’s performance as Meldrum, whose lip quivers and voice stutters at every sin Jenny confesses. The cross-hatching of the confessional booth and silent people in prayer cut to during the scene make this experience, which may be normal to some, utterly terrifying and as invasive as any PSYCHO shower scene.

While FRIGHTMARE has and always will be my favorite of Walker’s films, this one ranks a close second and reflects a director who got better with age, honing his grisly mysteries and never holding back on a healthy dose of perversion and gore. THE HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN is filled with fantastic performances (especially from Anthony Sharp and Sheila Keith, who has little screentime as Miss Brabazon, but the moments she is onscreen and the integral role she plays to the plot is resonant. With all sorts of effective scenes of terror involving Catholic icons and morals, THE HOUSE OF MORTAL SIN is bound to offend the devout and thrill those who love a deviously good mystery.

INVASION OF THE SCREAM QUEENS (1992)
Directed by Donald FarmerStarring Michelle Bauer, Martine Beswick, Janus Blythe, Veronica Carothers, Ruth Collins, Monique Gabrielle, Marya Gant, Katina Garner, Elizabeth Kaitan, Melissa Moore, Tammara Souza, Vivian Schilling, Deborah Stern, Brinke Stevens, Mary Woronov
Retro-reviewed by Ambush Bug
The B-movie scream queen rarely gets the respect she deserves. She’s often forced to shed her clothes, die in a bloody or ridiculous way, and, of course, scream. Still, many horror films wouldn’t have achieved their cult status without their participation, their moxy, and their nicely formed bodies, so interviewing these scream queens gives voice to a niche of horror less travelled in a horror documentary. That’s what INVASION OF THE SCREAM QUEENS is all about.
The doc is directed by Donald Farmer, who helmed such cult flicks as DEMON QUEEN and SAVAGE VANGEANCE. This is not the best documentary. It’s less of a dissection of what the scream queen is and more of a collection of mini-interviews where each actress tells the camera a little about herself. No definition of the term scream queen is given, though this is one of those genre projects for people who already know what the term means. Still, something tying everything together might have made it feel a bit more cohesive.

Michelle Bauer talks about NIGHTMARE SISTERS, THE TOMB, and her first days before she gained the title of scream queen.
Brinke Stephens talks a little bit about her past, how she rarely turns down a script, and her first film roles including her role in TEENAGE EXORCIST as a writer and her graduation to higher grade films.
Melissa Moore talks about her past, how she got her first roles in horror such as CAGED FURY, INVISIBLE MANIAC, Roger Corman’s NIGHTIE NIGHTMARES and TOWER OF TERROR. She recalls working with Leslie Nielsen on REPOSSESSED.
Martine Beswick discusses her work on FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE as a Bond girl and her big catfight in 1,000,000 YEARS B.C. with Raquel Welch.
Ruth Collins wears some kind of flowered dress that barely covered her body whilst talking about working with Fred Olen Ray on LITTLE DEVILS and how she wants to work with Woody Allen some day.
THE HILLS HAVE EYES’ Ruby (Janus Blythe) talks about how she got on the Wes Craven movie, her fear of snakes and her work on THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN and FRIGHT NIGHT.
Sisters Marya Gant & Katina Garner offer up a quick bit about A POLISH VAMPIRE IN BURBANK.
Debra Stern talks about her only horror film, NUDIST COLONY OF THE DEAD, how she had no idea a film with that title was a horror film, and what it was like to work with gory special effects.

Veronica Carothers talks about MANKILLERS, FATAL SKIES, and playing a big nerd in Fred Olen Ray’s LITTLE DEVILS. She also talks about her necessary nudity with Wings Hauser in MIND, BODY & SOUL.
STARSLAMMER’s Vivian Schilling talks about her graduation to writing horror with TERROR EYES, and then on to SOULTAKER and BLACK CREEK. Vivian talks about near death experiences, violence in film, and how important violence can be to a film vs. unnecessary, exploitative violence.
The highlight of the film is a talk with legendary actress Mary Woronov, who chats about her first gig at Warhol Studios watching Salvador Dali take a picture and working with Andy Warhol vs. working with Paul Bartel. It was fascinating hearing her talk about these legends of film and art. She shows off some of her own paintings here as well.
Monique Gabrielle talks about her roles in THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING, TRANSYLVANIA TWIST, EVIL TOONS, 976-EVIL 2, and ANGEL EYES. The giggly and gorgeous actress talks about her propensity for nudity in her films and tries to justify it.
While the production quality of INVASION OF THE SCREAM QUEENS feels as if it was transferred directly from a pretty well worn video, it still is filled with all sorts of fun behind-the-scenes stories from some actresses any fan of horror would recognize. It’s great to see clips from these z-grade films, though the film quality is really grainy and of poor quality. Hopefully some of these lost gems will be cleaned up and rereleased soon. Until then, though the picture quality is rough, INVASION OF THE SCREAM QUEENS offers up a look at an obscure corner of horror that rarely gets the props it deserves.

THE MONKEY’S PAW (2013)

An age-old story gets a modern reboot in this film from Brett Simmons, the director of HUSK (reviewed here). While you might know the basics skeleton of the story, Simmons provides some twists and turns making the whole thing worth revisiting.

In many ways, THE MONKEY’S PAW reminded me of PET SEMETARY in the fact that it is about playing God and resurrecting those we’ve lost. This is not a knock; just an observation that there was a definite vibe to this film that felt downright Stephen King-ish in terms of the down-home nature of the people involved, the reliance on a cursed item, and the roundabout way things come back to haunt the characters involved. Lang is playing second fiddle here, but he’s the highlight of the film, giving a performance that is both soulful at first, yet altogether menacing as the film goes on. Thomason is the lead here and main possessor of the monkey’s paw, but due to Lang’s performance, I was much more interested in his quandary than anyone else’s.

Unlike its cable counterpart SyFy, which seems to have no standard of excellence when it comes to playing films, Chiller is actually doing a fantastic job of picking some winners to back. Sure there isn’t the standard nudity, swearing, and gratuitous gore, but the channel seems to be churning out quality chills at a decent rate. THE MONKEY’S PAW is another quality tale that serves as a continuation to the story we all know and love rather than a remake. In doing so, it feels so much more interesting than most remakes or overly CG slopfests we get from SyFy these days.

With the deathly serious stance people take with their sports these days, it’s a wonder more sports-themed horror films aren’t popping up. Sure, there was DEATHSPORT and DEATHRACE, and I’d even consider ROLLERBALL one of the better ones, but none of those films (and let’s not even mention the remakes) really take into account how deathly serious we take our competitive sports in today’s society. THE HUMAN RACE tries, and while it may not succeed as a political statement, it does succeed in being a compelling action horror tale.


I can’t say THE HUMAN RACE is the best-acted or -directed film. The exploding heads are CG and often look it. But what makes it a really fun movie to watch is that it seems to not give a fuck about any of the people involved in the story, and there’s something awesome about that. It plucks the usual heartstrings you often see in this type of sports gone wrong film and then shreds them with reckless abandon. So if you’re looking for a film that tosses convention aside like a long distance runner does those little paper cups full of water in a race, you’re going to want to give THE HUMAN RACE a sporting chance. This is not great cinema, but it’s a hell of a fun movie.

I’ve said this before in this column, but there’s something about alien abduction films that really spooks me the fuck out. I guess it’s because there have been so few films made on the subject that didn’t convey that sense of fear so well. It’s weird that a simple light from the sky in a wooded area, some mood lighting, and some suspicious sideways glances can get to me so much, but it does. Maybe I was abducted at some point and don’t know it.

The story itself is part of that strength, as a man named Seth (Graham Skipper) rushes into the apartment of his friend Mark (Josh Ethier) reporting that their mutual friend was whisked away by bright lights in the sky. Soon, a deafening noise shakes the house and Mark is compelled to walk out of the house into the yard where a light bears down on him from above and he disappears. Seth is accused of murdering Mark, and though he remembers nothing from the night, he continues to claim he is innocent. Years later, the same type of lights occurs again and Mark appears naked and covered in goo in a forest. It’s pretty apparent early on that this is not the same Mark who left, as he becomes a one man killing machine, murdering anyone in his path and attempting to seemingly lead the charge in a world invasion from the stars.

On top of all of the minimal but effective effects, the performances throughout ALMOST HUMAN are strong as well. The film rest squarely on Skipper’s shoulders, and the actor does a good job with the responsibility. Ethier has less to do because he’s an emotionless killing machine, but still, with some well placed gore-splatter, the actor pulls off menacing without having to do much. The film is very much a tribute to John Carpenter’s suspense-laden horror films of the 80’s, right down to the lettering of the title credits. While the film pays a lot of homage to Carpenter, I felt it makes itself distinct enough to be more than an outright ripoff. ALMOST HUMAN is not a typical big budget sci fi yarn, but that’s what makes it so special. Keeping it small in scope and high on shocking moments with an ever-present tone of danger makes it an abduction film more effective than most.

Probably the most pleasantly surprising film I saw this week was THE MACHINE, from writer/director Caradog W. James. Reading the description of the film and even seeing the trailer didn’t really fill me with hope, but upon viewing the film I found it to be like MOON and DISTRICT 9 before it--one of those low-scoped sci fi films that is the reason behind this big new wave of sci fi films inundating us in theaters at the moment. It’s too bad that this film is small- scale, as it is a film that deserves to be experienced by more people, but in this case I guess THE MACHINE will be one of those surprises you happen upon on cable and wonder why you haven’t heard much about.

Even that description makes this film seem like an EVE OF DESTRUCTION clone or some other sci fi B-movie you wouldn’t give two blinks to, but aside from fantastic acting from all of the cast, the film is visually stunning. From the glowing blue eyes of the robots to the Giger-esque yet unique sets and machinery this film used, THE MACHINE is a beauty to lay eyes on. Director James does things with a simple warehouse with water on the floor that are gorgeously lit and fantastically choreographed. While the old JJ Abrams lens flare is used quite a bit in this film, it’s done so only during the AI scenes, differentiating them from the gritty human scenes. From the brutal fight scenes as Ava murderizes scores of foes to the quiet ones of Vincent exhausting himself in the lab, every scene looks fantastic and original.

If you are hungry for good sci fi, THE MACHINE is going to satisfy your appetite and then some. Visually stunning and superbly made, THE MACHINE is going to surprise quite a few folks. It’s getting a limited theatrical run before it hits VOD and then DVD. However you catch THE MACHINE, just make sure you do as it’s a sci fi gem worth finding.

I can’t say for sure, but I kind of feel like I’ve gotten over the hill that represents my boredom with zombie flicks. Over the last five years there’s been an inundation of zombie films and, much worse than that, zombie films that pretty much tell the same story over and over again. But lately my ire for zombie films has lessened, and maybe it’s time for me to get on with my life and focus on found footage and Bram Stoker retreads. If films like KILL ZOMBIE aka ZOMBIBI are any indication of the type of zombie flicks we will be getting in this post-post apocalyptic time in cinema, I think there’s hope for the zombie genre still.


While this film is nowhere near as good as SHAUN and JUAN, if you like those films, it’s likely you’ll find something to like with KILL ZOMBIE! It’s a movie that never takes itself seriously and has seen all of the zombie movies we all love. Yes, some of the humor has been done better in SHAUN, JUAN and some of the Tarantino films it riffs off of, but I liked large portions of this film for its shameless riffs and no fucks given attitude in terms of who dies and who lives. KILL ZOMBIE! is not going to please those humorless die-hards who scoff at any film that doesn’t take the material deathly seriously, but this is a zombie film a head above the rest of the zombie herd out there.

The big change from what I remember of the first film to this one is the almost mystical nature attributed to the trucker Rusty Nail and his death truck, which patrols a stretch of road dubbed Slaughter Alley that is not recognized on any GPS or recent map. The film opens with a sequence of a pair of methheads attempting to rip off any passing trucker who happens to have the bad dumb luck to get Nail on the CB with a promise of sex. The pair is set up for an overly complex game of chicken with the couple chained to the hood of Nail’s truck with a bag of meth taped in between them. All they have to do is ride on the hood for a mile and they get the meth, but addiction gets the better and the road gets a new red paint job before the credits even roll.

But for those who like their scares of the more creepy variety, you’re going to come up wanting. Unlike the first entry, where Rusty Nail is more of an unseen force of nature, he’s adopted the annoying tendency to drop one-liners during his kills such as “You got ahead of yourself” as one victim’s head is stuck in between a jack and the bumper of a truck. Puns and bad humor like this were old in the Eighties, and are downright painful to hear in modern horror films. It’s disappointing to see something so formidably realized in the first film depicted in such a weak way here.

Like WOLF CREEK 2 (which I’ll be reviewing next week), JOYRIDE 3: ROADKILL highlights the dangers of the untamed road. But while WOLF CREEK 2 continues to tell the tale of an interesting character and keeps the octane at full throttle from start to finish, JOYRIDE 3: ROADKILL bathes everything in blood and hopes no one notices how unscary it all is. Sure, they keep Rusty Nail’s complete face obscured as they have for the entire series and Ken Kirzinger’s performance as the evil mothertrucker is fun to see as his line delivery is kind of fun in a down-home, no nonsense sort of way. But for the most part the film itself seems to have veered too far off course from the original, and if there is a fourth installment, here’s hoping that a little less gore and a little more tension are used.

ANIMAL is the second film I saw this week from director Brett Simmons, and another indication that he is a filmmaker to watch out for. This time around, Simmons has the coproducer/documentarian/writer of CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES and NEVER SLEEP AGAIN, Thommy Hutson and writer Catherine Trillo, on board with the script. This proves to be a potent mix of talent as they take a very common monster movie theme with ANIMAL and make it feel fresh, new, and exciting.

Let’s start with the animal itself. Uncategorizable is a good term to describe it. Part insect, part bear…maybe there’s a hint of a moose in there. The creature is definitely an interesting design, and one I haven’t seen before. It’s bipedal, but for my money, I like seeing it the best when hunched down and crawling as it looks the creepiest then. The front jaw is filled with teeth, which is all-the more-to tear people to shreds with and this film does give the beast an ample amount of people to do this with. While it’s hard these days to make a distinct design in terms of movie monsters, this one is wholly original-looking, like a product of the thickly wooded environment it is hunting and killing in, yet nothing we’ve ever seen before. Even down to the distinct whiny, almost canine-like howl, this animal is an original. <br.

One thing I noticed is that the film opens up with John Carpenter lettering, which doesn’t go past the opening credits, but it’s interesting to see this film and ALMOST HUMAN earlier in the column paying homage to Carpenter and proof that the filmmaker is still very much resonant in today’s horror. It’s amazing to see how good character, a fun monster, and a twisty and turny script can really revitalize something that one has seen over and over. ANIMAL is a monster movie, but not your typical one, which makes it all the more worth checking out. Director Simmons seems to be on a roll here with HUSK, MONKEY’S PAW, and now ANIMAL offering up fresh takes on well worn concepts.
And finally…here’s another horror short from Horror Bizarre called VOODOO PRANK. It’s got a group of morons and a voodoo doll, of course! Enjoy!
