Yes the very same. The owner Charles Band is a total sleazeball scumbag. When he found out people were into collecting old VHS tapes he lied about finding a bunch of rare Wizard Video collectable big box tapes in his warehouse. He was exposed by a youtuber who proved without a doubt he was just making brand new ones to capitalize off of the trend.
He also likes to re-edit his studios old films into anthologies and try to pass them off as new movies.

for me the bloom was off the Full Moon rose with Evil Bong, it was _such_ a halfassed endeavor
if the Evil Bong prop was able to move or do anything it wouldn't have been such a disappointment
I think I remember Ooga Booga was okay
Shrunken Heads worked well for Rifftrax

Poultrygeist: The VIdeo Game is now available on Xbox and Epic. The official game of one of Troma's cooler movies. Troma also has the Toxic Crusaders game coming and some DLC for one of those asym horror games I forgot the name of.

It appears to be only on the Epic Game Store of all things. There's no trailer or anything for this turd. And it looks like your garden variety 'lel indie game' garbage.

Poultrygeist is supposed to be coming to Steam too.

Developer is apparently also behind "Dont Fart The Game", sitting at over 100 downloads on the Google play store.

I'm guessing the guy went up to Lloyd and said he would work for free is how he got the job.

I'll always love how underneath his act of an over the top drunken cheap shit movie producer is an over the top drunken cheap shit movie producer

When it comes to the more misbegotten Full Moon projects, Shrunken Heads gets points for featuring a friendly local neighborhood voodoo man who engages in wacky paranormal vigilante activity that's also a former member of the Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale, the Duvalier regime's secret police known popularly as the Tonton Macoute, after a boogeyman figure from Haitian folklore, who were really good at making people disappear. It's a weird thing to make light of, as the film does, especially when the old man puts on his old Men in Black style of dress from those days for the final confrontation with the leader of a 50's style gang of neighborhood greasers and Meg Foster as a super-butch pompadoured local crime boss.

This is just an FYI because I was looking through Tubi and came across Death in Venice AKA Gore in Venice:


This flick is infamous for the gore sequences including the chick from Burial Ground having her leg slowly cut off. But, this version uploaded by Full Moon is cut to fuck. I've heard of Full Moon doing this with their other flicks too. So, if you see anything uploaded by Full Moon or Full Moon Features just be aware you may be seeing a cut version.

You can usually tell by the runtimes. Some movies will be 50-70 minutes with the content cut out of them. Full Moon did the same thing on their Amazon streaming channel. The only thing that Full Moon has released on blu-ray is the trailer compilation with the Carradines: "The Best of Sex and Violence" but knowing Charles Band, it'll be a VHS copy instead of the theatrical print.

Caught most of The History Of The Occult (2020)
nice enough, I suspect I'll enjoy the USA remake more since I can better appreciate USA retro tv kitsch over Argentine retro tv

This movie was fucking awesome. I almost turned it off at the start because of the overpowering 'student film' vibes, but I stuck with it and I am so glad I did. That bad trip sequence was almost too intense and the climax whooshed me at first because I was too absorbed to notice the
colour
, which in my books is a sign of quality, because I am usually detached as hell.

Usually the company's obssession results in Earth being overrun with aliens in the "Earth war" but hey, Hicks and Newt are usually alive so thats a plus.

You mean "Wilks" and "Billy", right? Many years ago, a sizable portion of my personal library was made up of Aliens novels. You're definitely right about Earth getting overrun with the xenomorphs, but for some reason Hicks and Newt were replaced by Wilks and Billy.

I read at least a dozen of those Aliens novels, and Berserker was probably my favorite out of all of them. I also had a few of the Predator novels too, and Concrete Jungle was a really fun read.

yeah I dug it
caught Late Night With The Devil, the recent USA remake
not bad
felt more like somebody was doing a sorta ripoff and the studio realized they had the rights

I guess I appreciate it trying to do a similar concept but hitting different enough stuff, felt it fell apart when things get weird near the end leading to not really much of anything
which is fairly different from the tweest of the Argentina one where things get weird near the end when literally anything happened
 
doubleposting but I have a hunch (I'll rewatch it to double-check) but I have a hunch that the opening montage thing explaining basically the entire fucking movie was added after the fact, and it was supposed to be the slow build of finding out all the details about the guy's career and life
