Price was born to play the actor turned Shakespearean slayer in this delightful British gem. Killer support from Rigg in deadly man-drag. Fabulous. 1973.

The Great American Girl Robbery (1979) starring Kristine DeBell! Also released as Cheerleaders Wild Weekend, this film is often mentioned as the final film in the Cheerleaders series but I’ve seen zero proof online that it’s actually related to that series at all.

#Deucember 2025, Movie 34: SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984). Dir: Charles E. Sellier Jr. Not the most original pick for Christmas Eve, I suppose, but a first time watch for me. It was pretty much what I expected. All those original Christmas songs were really weird, though. #grindhouse #filmsky.

#Deucember 2025, Movie 33: BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1970) My umpteenth viewing of Russ Meyer & Roger Ebert’s camp cult classic social satire soap opera. Still insane after all these years. “This is my happening and it freaks me out!” #grindhouse #filmsky #cultclassic

#Deucember 2025 Movie 31: BROTHERS TILL WE DIE (1977) The final team up between Umberto Lenzi & Tomas Milian has him doing double duty, reprising characters from FREE HAND FOR A TOUGH COP & THE TOUGH ONES, as twin brothers. Much fun, with more wit than usual. #poliziotteschi #grindhouse #FilmSky

#Deucember Day#22 The semi-obscure 'Alley Cat' ('84) is not what I'd call a collection-essential, but if you just have to see every damn martial-arts-chick-battles-local-thugs flick, then give it a watch. It's sexy lead embraced the script's nudity, which is appreciated. @gcdb.bsky.social

#Deucember 2025, Movie 30: JESSI’S GIRLS (1975) It’s not saying much, but this softcore revenge western is one of Al Adamson’s better flicks, due to star Sondra Currie. Rod Cameron sports a fake beard. Some will argue there weren’t breast implants in the 1880s, but go with it. #grindhouse #filmsky

#Deucember 2025, Movie 30: THE SHADOW WHIP (1971) Dir: Lo Wei. This fun #shawbrothers wuxia film stars Cheng Pei-Pei as a young whip-wielding woman helping her uncle who was framed for a jewel robbery. The whip vs. sword fights are unique, as is the snowy setting. #grindhouse #filmsky #hongkong

#Deucember 2025 Movie 27: SEX BEYOND THE GRAVE (1984) This #shawbrothers horror film is a Hong Kong take on POLTERGEIST as a family moves into a house haunted by a female ghost raped and murdered years ago. Less sleazy than usual with lots of levitation and too much mah jongg. #grindhouse #filmsky

#Deucember 2025, Movie 23: THE BIG BAD WOLF. This is a 1966 English-dub by Barry Yellin’s Childhood Productions of a 1957 German film. The WICKER MAN-like realistic masks of the billygoats are quite disturbing, and the catchy upbeat music & songs by Milton Delugg just make it weirder. #FilmSky

Shock Waves (1977)
Dir-Ken Wiederhorn
Nazi super soldier zombies on a remote island stalk shipwrecked idiots.
Very light gore, but ominous, creepy, and unsettling, with Peter Cushing in a supporting role as an exposition-spouting ex-Nazi officer!
