Movie time: Frightday Night at the Movies - The Demons of Ludlow
It’s Friday, which means another installment into my deeply cherished Frightday Night at the Movies tradition. If you are new to this, Friday nights has a common theme in my house, both pre- and post- Mister. Curling up on the sofa, takeout box in hand (always had to have takeout), Mollie the labrador curled up next to me (then us) to save us from the Boogyman du Jour (and to practice her soulful “I’m- starving- and- have- actually- never- seen- food- from- a- takeout- box- before- what- does- it- taste- like?” face). Mollie isn’t with us any longer, but her baby brother and sister have stepped up to fill her shoes oh so valiantly, particularly the “please feed me because I’m starving. No really I am” role.
Chant it along with me because I know I’ve said it before. I love (and I mean I love in ways that should be illegal in seventeen states) crappy horror slash science fiction movies. And since it is getting oh so close to Halloween, tonight’s movie is a 1983 wonderfest of horror.
By way of introduction, I will tell you this now. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
It. Is. Hilarious.
It is beyond sucky in ways that I just cannot describe. It should go down in the annals of time as one of the suckiest movies ever. It is fantastic in its suckiness! The effects suck. The storyline sucks. The acting sucks.
This movie is everything you could ask for in a scary B grade movie. Definitely worth a watch.
Why on earth, if I am telling you that it sucks so much, am I asking you to watch it? Because it sucks so bad! If you are a fan of bad horror movies, you have to take the time to muddle through this. It will leave you rolling in the aisles.
