City of The Living Dead (1980)

City of The Living Dead (1980)

Director: Lucio Fulci

Stars: Christopher George, Catriona MacColl, Carlo De Mejo

In the first of Fulci's trilogy (the others being The Beyond and House By The Cemetery), a preacher hangs himself, waking up a bunch of dead folk and generally cause mayhem and mischief himself. A reporter, a woman who previously died, and a therapist who dates high school girls set out to stop it. Brains are squished like one of those stress relieving balls. It's pretty neat-o.

1. That ain't Nestle's strawberry syrup dripping into that milk!

2. Don't pet old dead ladies because they bite and then lay around in your kitchen for no reason.

3. Never let Christopher George help you out of a coffin.

4. Teenage guy smoking pot in a car with a teenage girl = drill in the head. Forty year old therapist dating a teenage girl = welcome with open arms.

5. Zombies don't run here, instead they've mastered the art of teleportation.

6. He's psychotic, he's so needing...he'll get your little eyeballs bleeding. Throwing up all your insides, he's got...EVIL PREACHER EYES!

Director: Robert Young

Stars: Adrienne Corri, Thorley Walters, David Prowse

In this Hammer flick, Count Mitterhaus (a vampire) steals some guy's woman and has her sending him little kids to feed off of and kill. The villagers don't take too kindly to that and kill the  Count. He curses them and fifteen years later, the town has got the plague. As they figure out what to do, a mysterious circus comes into town. Big shock, people start dying of non plague issues. Gee I wonder who's to blame?

Six Things I Learned from Vampire Circus

1. Midget + Clown + Evil = Nightmare fuel. It's a proven equation/

2. In addition to making a great Darth Vader, David Prowse plays a mean hand organ. Ask him to play "Light My Fire" sometime.

3.When the "Funhouse" consists of three goofy mirrors and one where you die, that's grounds for false advertising.

4. People in the 19th century never question circus folk who can leap 50 feet in the air with no trampoline.

5. Mothers who fool around with vampires always tend to favor their undead children over their live ones.

6. Despite causing problems in the lovemaking department, staking a vampire in the groin generally doesn't work. Lord knows how often I've tried.
