Some horror movie monsters instantly achieve iconic status and proceed to slash, mutilate and maim their way through an ever-increasing stack of sequels until the inevitable jump-the-shark moment when they’re shelved (until it’s time for a gritty, dark reboot).
Others … well, others don’t quite get that chance. For every Michael Myers, there’s a dozen wannabes stalking the shadows of lesser-known horror films, just trying their hardest to scare people. They fail miserably, of course, but where would we be as a civilization without the likes of …

Trailer Apocalypse screens midnights this Friday and Saturday Night (June 5th and 6th) at The Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Ave, St. Louis) as part of Destroy the Brain’s monthly Late Night Grindhouse
To celebrate the fifth year of the monthly Late Night Grindhouse, the crazies over at Destroy the Brain are presenting ‘Trailer Apocalypse – A Grindhouse Trailer Reel’ featuring a 2 solid hour buffet of trailers from the so-called “grindhouse” era: the notorious, the long forgotten, and everything in between. If you went to see a double or triple feature playing on 42nd Street in New York City in the seventies these are just the kind of coming attractions that would run before the films. Unfortunately, almost no one currently living in St. Louis ventured into NYC grindhouses 40-something years ago (at least no one...

Oddly conservative thematically for a movie that includes a scene of a man getting his leg sawed off, Brad F. Grinter’s Blood Freak is really a cautionary tale about the evils of drugs and gluttony.
Poor Hershell should know better than to eat modified turkey meat to feed his drug habit. When he wakes up in the woods with a turkey head, he finds he is still addicted to the evil sticky-icky and now needs to feast on the blood of other addicts to satiate his addiction and never-ending case of the munchies.
But the turkey-man-killer has a moral bend and only gobbles the blood of bad, bad marijuana addicts. In the end it takes the love of a good woman, who loves the Lord, to slice off his head.
This movie makes so little sense at times that writer/director Brad F. Grinter is forced to narrate the action.

A movie about a guy mutated in to a Turkey hybrid with a Jesus complex of anti-drugs. Oh yes I don’t think Jesus himself could save this movie. What better way to enjoy a family outing with a movie about a murderer with a turkey head. There are apparently only three (as far as I know) movies remotely about a turkey or Thanksgiving and all are horrible. “Blood Freak” is no exception to the rule.
What is the plot of this bad movie? A guy named Herschell is torn between two sisters (A Christian one and one who isn’t) and eventually falls in to temptation with the “sinful” sister. The guy, soon, works at a turkey farm with scientists who apparently he gets injected with some hormone which gives him a turkey head. A guy with a turkey head who is out for...

Hey dudes and dudettes, Junk Food Dinner is back to covet your mellow with an episode dedicated to the 20th of April. We start things off in a time when dudes were dudes and babes were meant to be wormed on in 1994's driving around odyssey The Stöned Age. Next we, like, fly a car through space and then, like, totally fight zombies and horrors from beyond the Canadian galaxy or whatever in the animated adult epic Heavy Metal from 1981. Finally, we get the munchies and scarf some bird so good we turn into a bible thumpin', dope smokin', mutant turkey in the weird one-off Blood Freak from 1972. This is truly our most crescent fresh episode to date!
Please refrain from bogarting this episode, send it to one of your buds!
Side note: Don't worry, we think the idea of doing an episode like this is just as stupid as you do.

Snow has started to fall in some states around the country and department stores have begun their annual Christmas sales. But wait, isn’t there another holiday between now and Christmas? Something about Pilgrims and Indians? Thanksgiving is slowly becoming the forgotten holiday, but not to worry, because I have compiled a list of the best Thanksgiving themed horror films to get you in that turkey eating spirit! So grab everyone in your family and curl up in front of the TV and prepare to never look at a turkey the same way again I apologize for this list being so small, but Thanksgiving doesn’t seem to be that marketable in horror. Blood Freak (1972) – Okay, so this movie doesn’t revolve around Thanksgiving, but it does revolve around a deranged man with a mutant turkey head killing people. Still interested? Read on. This movie is probably the hardest movie...
