A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.

Rules:

  1. Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
  2. Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
  3. If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
  4. Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

A TERRIFYING TALE OF SLUTS AND BOLTS.

A medical school dropout loses his fiancΓ©e in a tragic lawnmower incident and decides to bring her back to life. Unfortunately, he was only able to save her head, so he goes to the red light district in the city and lures prostitutes into a hotel room so he can collect body parts to reassemble her.

Frank Henenlotter's wonderful reimagination of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Super fun!

Love this movie! Shame Patty Mullen never did much, she's fantastic... "Wanna date?? 😬"

Basket Case and Brain Damage are both pretty fun to watch from Henenlotter too but Frankenhooker is my favourite!

Yeah, it's a real shame that Mullen never did much else, especially since she was great in Doom Asylum as well.

Brain Damage is my favourite Henenlotter, but Frankenhooker is close. :)

I never got around to watching this, but I remember the movie rental joint had the oversize VHS box. It had a little button on the subway light and the box said "wanna date?" when you pushed it.

This is one of the movies that got me into shit movies. 0/5, highly recommended.
