Dr. Ramzi (Danny Gochnauer), a medical deviant who enjoys torturing his patients, is killed by a fellow demented doctor and buried in the basement of a mental health facility. Twenty years later, the hospital is up and running again and a Jane Doe (Cheryl Lawson) arrives at the institute with amnesia. Upon her arrival, a major earthquake rocks the building, unearthing the now undead Dr. Ramzi and his legion of zombie patients, who are eager to help him continue his gruesome work.

It Came From the Mailbox: Calamity of Snakes (Review)

A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from Molly asking me if I would be interested in reviewing a fucked up movie called CALAMITY OF SNAKES that a friend of HYB’s was distributing. She even assured me that it would be a really fun movie to watch while drunk or high.

Brain Hammer interviews Jim Krut aka The Helicopter Zombie!

Fans of George A. Romero’s classic DAWN OF THE DEAD might not recognize the name Jim Krut but they would immediately recognize his face. Well, perhaps not his face as much as everything slightly above his eyebrows, all of which was memorably torn away by the whirring blades of the WGON helicopter! That’s right, Jim Krut is none other than the uncredited actor now well known to hardcore horror fans as the helicopter zombie!

Brain Hammer’s PICKS FROM THE CRYPT Vol. 34: Juan Piquer Simon Splatterfest!

Gory greetings! Welcome to a very special edition of Brain Hammer’s PICKS FROM THE CRYPT. This week’s PICKS are a terrible trio of cult classic 80’s exploitation flicks from the notorious Spanish writer, producer, and director Juan Piquer Simon. Juan grew up raised on a diet of classic American cinema in his native Spain and considers himself an adamant fan of fantasy, thriller and horror films. Juan Piquer Simon’s efforts are infamous for being so bad, that they’re actually good. Simon has even been called the Spanish answer to Ed Wood.

I’m a huge fan of his flicks, especially the ones featured in this column. Something about the horrible dubbing, the incoherent editing, the incomprehensible plots, the tacky synthesized music; it all adds up to create pure movie magic! For all of their many, many faults, Simon’s flicks are hysterically funny and entertaining as Hell. They also deliver the goods in the splatter and sleaze departments, with plenty of scenes of flesh ripping ferocity. In honor of the one and only Juan Piquer Simon, LET THE BLOODSHED BEGIN!!!

Gory greetings! This latest edition of PICKS FROM THE CRYPT features a terrible trio of cult classic 80’s horror flicks that boldly go where Ridley Scott had already went in ‘79.
