  • I Can’t Say No to a Bad Movie

    Yesterday was a trying night in our apartment. The kid had issues sleeping, but even before that, I think we all ate too much sugar and were hyper beyond our expectations. I’m not kidding when I say this, as we made homemade cinnamon rolls with real icing in the morning, and that sugar rush made us jittery all day.

    I have been trying to make an effort, really trying, to get to bed at decent hour, and earn a good night’s sleep. It doesn’t always work, as my success rate for getting to bed in time for seven hours of sleep is like 5% on a given night. What is keeping me up is my desire to discover the worst movie I can find? Amazon Prime is a goldmine of schlock, but not a limitless resource; I fear I might be approaching the bottom of this well rather soon.

    And I should have gone to bed, I admit that, but this wouldn’t be a story if I did, right?

    I thought the best thing I could do last night, right before I went to bed was to check and see if Rob Hill had posted anything new on his Bad Movie Bible YouTube page…

    What I found was, “A Top 10 Best Worst Heavy Metal Horror Movies,” a subject matter very close to my heart.

    I have a particular fondness for this specific sub-genre of horror movies, as one of my favorite awful heavy metal horror movies is Rocktober Blood. (It used to be up on YouTube, but seems to have gone missing now. SHUDDER claims to have it, but you need to subscribe to be able to watch it.) There are a couple of songs in the movie that aren’t good, but are entertaining, especially “Killer on the Loose.”

    Though Rocktober Blood didn’t make Hill’s list, it does get a mention in the video, which I take as a sort of victory for the film. A film that has brought me many hours of entertainment.

    In the end, I stayed up too late again.

  • Christmas in July

    There are just too many bad Christmas movies out there, but luckily Rob Hill, of The Bad Movie Bible, has found 10 of the worst, and Hallmark movies are not included on this list. If you’ve seen the other videos, you know what to expect. So put your ugly Christmas sweater on, and turn up the air conditioning, and get ready for…

  • What if JAWS was a Bear?

    Summer blockbusters all trace their origins back to one movie; JAWS. Not only did JAWS make a shit ton of money, but it made more money than anyone ever thought possible. That part you know, but do you know the part about all the knock off movies that came out after JAWS?

    Thanks to Rob Hill and his BAD MOVIE BIBLE YouTube channel, you can learn all about awful, but still entertaining movies that took all the best parts and made a bad movie.

  • See, Anyone Can Make a Movie

    I’m back with another of Rob Hill‘s “The Story Behind” series, but in this case, it’s “The Unbelievable Story Behind The Empiricist.” I wish I could add something to make this video better, but it speaks for itself.

  • All About the Ninjas

    Awhile back, I wrote about Rob Hill, his Bad Movie Bible and the videos he puts out on YouTube. I know there is a large number of us out, the people who just love watching terrible cinema bad “B” movies, awful horror flicks. But there is a small breed out there that who goes forth to document and terrible these films, and Hill does it with an encyclopedia level of knowledge, and an amazing dry wit.

    All his videos are great, but his “The Story Behind…” series are especially good. Below is Rob Hill’s behind the story of Ninja III: The Domination.
