For this episode of Decades of Horror 1970s, the Grue-Crew cover the fourth film of the Blind Dead saga, NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS (1975). To make this episode even more special, we've invited Patreon fan, Crew friend, and Templar Knights champion Jerry Chandler.

Daphne mysteriously drives the crew back to 1965 to catch an early South Korean horror film, A BLOODTHIRSTY KILLER.

Follow the crew and guest-host Scott Wells in the depths of fear with killer cats, supernatural spirits, and gore galore. You won't want to miss this. Enjoy!

The 3D craze was brief in the 1980s and the output quality was questionable, but the run was fun for all the wrong reasons. Among Friday the 13th part III, Jaws 3D, and Parasite, was AMITYVILLE 3D and the Grue-Crew are ready to investigate all the shenanigans. The film is from accomplished director Richard Fleisher and the cast includes Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Candy Clark, and Robert Joy. And, in an early role, Meg Ryan appears alongside Lori Loughlin. The film has an unjust bad reputation, but it's much better then you'd expect. Some of the effects are laughable, while others are downright creepy... and always in your face! Let's see what the Crew dig up.

AMITYVILLE 3-D (1983)
Episode 314 - Decades of Horror 1980s

Quote: "Reality is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes." - Elliot West

Synopsis: "Inquisitive Reveal Magazine journalist John Baxter moves into the Amityville house in defiance of the supernatural events connected to it and finds everyone around him besieged by evil manifestations connected to a demonic presence."

Director: Richard Fleisher
Cast: Tony Roberts, Tess Harper, Candy Clark, Robert Joy, Lori Loughlin, and Meg Ryan.

Next up, we tackle one chosen by Jeff: Psycho II (1982) (Prime, Fawesome). Make sure you join us for that one.

For this episode, Doc picks MADHOUSE (1974), an Amicus / AIP horror film with a notorious reputation. Who knew? On set conflicts, heavy editing from the production team, Dr. Phibes director drops out with a celebrated editor taking the reins, and a script that was being rewritten every day are just some of the things that troubled this shoot. But what does the film have going for it? At it's core, it is a splendid idea, the locations and designs are often well done, and the cast is remarkable: Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Robert Quarry, and Adrienne Corri. And then there's the "horror icon" created for the film, Dr. Death! In fact, there are two designs with the Vincent Price skull-faced make-up approaching greatness. Remember the Famous Monster of Film Land issue 109 cover? Yet, something went horribly wrong. Find out what the Grue-Crew have to say about this Price and Cushing completist filmography entry. Enjoy!

Crystal picks the cult classic slasher film THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982) for the Grue-Crew to review this week. This movie has some bizarre background and strong reactions. Does the film live up to its reputation? Does the film actually come across as either a parody or a feminist horror movie? The debate is on with this review as the crew also explores the taglines, the cast of characters, the promotion and posters along with the cast and crew. And what's up with the oversized drill with a never-draining battery? Huh, huh, huh? It's a great discussion and should not be missed. Enjoy!

The Grue-Crew tackle the early Italian horror film THE VAMPIRE AND THE BALLERINA (1960, L'amante del vampiro) from director Renato Polselli. This is a first watch for each of the crew: Bill, Daphne, Doc, and Jeff. Walter Brandi makes for an interesting vampire appearing mostly in a oddly effective monster mask while Maria Luisa Rolando fills the role of Countess Aldo - also a vampire. Much of the film is reminiscent of the Dracula story but set near Rome, Italy, shot in the spectacular castle of Artena in 1959. This is a fun episode as we dive into the cast of characters, the posters, the director, writers, and cast. And, oh yeah, dance numbers. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!
