Movies With My Cat

On this loosey goosey episode of Yapping With My Cat, we take a peek into the early 90's Video Rental scene of my youth. Grab your bowl of cat treats and get ready to "be kind and rewind"!

Until the next proper episode of Movies with My Cat comes out, here's a less proper episode about the first movie to turn on the horror switch in my little kid brain. Brains… BRAAAIIINNNSSSS!!!! Oh, BTW, that clip from BigHead's first horror movie was from an incredible movie by J.R. Bookwalter called Ozone, check it out if you like gooey things.

Work is a drag, but somebody's gotta do it. Thing is, the working week is putting a bit of a hamper on our pursuit of shining a light on less appreciated horror movies. So, we find ourselves in a pickle. We can give up, admit defeat, and allow our favorite movies to be mocked and/or forgotten, or we can adjust the format of the show a bit and continue on. So now, maybe the dive is a little less deep, but the call to arms in defense of underappreciated films is as loud as ever. The format of the show may be changing, but the goal remains the same: illuminate the dark edges of cinema hell. And what better place to continue that mission than with a movie about a snake possessed by Satan. That movie is 1981's Jaws of Satan, filmed in and around central Alabama. Sssssss. Sssssss, indeed.

Here at Movies With My Cat, simplicity is often at the core of our favorite stories. Killdozer has that. Six men stranded on a desolate island doing battle with a sinister force. Simple. It also has tractors fighting against a bulldozer possessed by an otherworldly entity. Who doesn't wanna see that? Get your hardhats on and rev up your big yellow baby (that's a tractor) with KILLDOZER!!! #Killdozer #KillerTractor #ClintWalker #NevilleBrand #D9Caterpillar #MadeForTVMovie #cats #movies #podcats #lesspopularmovies #HorrorMovies #podcastwithmycat #SupportYourLocalCat #catsandhorror #catpodcast #kittypodcast #independentpodcast #independentpodcats #underappreciatedhorror

If we told you that, Scary Movie, sat around for nearly thirty years before being rediscovered and properly released, you'd call me a liar. And you'd be right, if in fact we were talking about the Wayans brothers' horror spoof from 2000. But that's not the movie we're talking about. Instead, we're talking Daniel Erickson's 1991 ode to Halloween spookhouses, Scary Movie, a film that did in fact sit around for nearly thirty years before being properly released. Unfortunately, by the time it was released, a different "Scary Movie" had cast a pretty huge shadow over it. Join us as we stalk every dark corner of this unsung regional horror film (from Texas!) starring a young pre-Golden Globe John Hawkes.
