I've been enjoying reading NATURAL THORN KILLERS by Lauren Jane Barnett & Tony Mardon and this evening - thanks to the brilliant @SkinTrader2 - I'm going to finally cross one the films in there that I've not seen, the 1963 Japanese flick MATANGO (Attack of the Mushroom People).🍄

Our new teaser trailer is live! 👼🏼🙏🏻 youtu.be/ABkhO4UHTCs?si… #SupportIndieFilm #Indiefilm

Spandexorcist (2025) Just found this on Fawesome, SRS bringing the low budget goodness, starring Cindy Hinds and Michelle Bauer.

On this day — June 1, 1990 — Frankenhooker exploded into theaters and straight into cult movie immortality! Directed by the king of sleazy NYC horror himself, Frank Henenlotter (the twisted genius behind Basket Case and Brain Damage), and co-written with Robert Martin, this black comedy horror masterpiece is a totally radical, totally unhinged tribute to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein... but make it Times Square, super crack, and lawnmower accidents. Starring: - James Lorinz as the lovably deranged medical school dropout Jeffrey Franken - Patty Mullen (former Penthouse Pet) as the smokin’ hot, stitched-together title character Elizabeth Shelley / Frankenhooker - Plus killer supporting turns from Charlotte Helmkamp (as Honey), Louise Lasser, and a whole crew of wild NYC characters. What really makes this flick legendary? The wild, over-the-top practical makeup effects by Gabe Bartalos (and crew). We’re talking grotesque-yet-glamorous scars, shimmering green skin, exploding hookers (yes, literal exploding practical effects with flying limbs and firecracker guts), reanimated body parts in glowing estrogen baths, and one of the most gloriously trashy monster transformations of the era. No CGI nonsense here — just pure ’90s analog gore and charm that still holds up today. If you’ve never seen it, crank up that VHS (or your fancy 4K scan), grab some leftover pizza, and prepare for lines like “Wanna date?” that’ll live rent-free in your head forever. Bill Murray himself once said if you see one movie that year, make it *Frankenhooker*. Who else is firing this bad boy up tonight? Drop your favorite scene or quote below, you awesome retro horror warriors! Let’s get totally toxic and celebrate this bitchin’ cult classic! 🍕🧪⚡ #Frankenhooker #HorrorComedy #PracticalEffects #RetroHorror #90sHorror #CultClassic #FrankHenenlotter #90sKidsRule
