    ...And Tufo is just not an anagram of tofu. In Spanish, it means 'stink'. So... very appropriate.

    Wow. I think Mistake just edged out Droppo from 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians' as most annoying comic relief in a film. At least he gets killed.

    Did you notice the 1976 'King Kong' poster at 8:21? The characters were so uninteresting that my eyes immediately saw it.

    That looks like a pretty awful movie.

    Mistake seemed annoying as hell. Though the surviving chick was cute.

    Btw, I never knew Brad was allergic(or just hates) green beans.

    I think I'll post this here, as I am not sure if you read comments on old videos.
    How come you never reviewed Zombie 3? I haven't seen it myself but it was directed by Bruno Mattei so it should be worthy of a snobbing.

    What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a bunch of turkeys getting carved up? Great one, CS!

    BTW, seeing that the character was none other than Jake "Body by Jake" Steinfeld, we should notice this was probably his biggest role other than as a cabbie in "Coming To America". Poor guy.

    I'm sorry... I lost my shit when the killer dove onto the hood of the car and squished that guy. I was laughing so hard I had to go back and watch the scene again just so I could continue forth with the review.

      I hear you. That flying body splash to the car hood was one of the funniest things I've seen recently. It needs to be replayed over and over.

    And to think, I thought the only Thanksgiving slasher was that fake trailer done by Eli Roth.

    Like the new Battlestar Galactica reference when the Edward James look-alike died.

    Hehe, it's fun you mentioned David Hess as we first see the killer... because that's pretty much my reaction on seeing this guy too. This was such an underwhelming film, but the constantly amused killer helped it at little.
    Nice and fun snobbing of this one~

    I bought this movie off Ebay about 3 years ago, because i became obsessed with sallee young, or elyse. I saw a movie called demented, and though, ok why not. i was so amazed, by the main characters performance, that...i was, and AM at a loss for words. Her voice is so high pitched, and...the way she cries to Harry Reems "I was raped" its just so WONDERFUL! she is a queen and that is why i bought home sweet home. I was really hoping for a sallee young or demented comment, but if you have not seen that movie brad. Please check it out!

    Okay, this killer is great. Elbow dropping the hood of a car on someone, laughing hysterically and happily, that crazy smile.

    Brad this is the second time I've heard you bash green beans and peas this week (I watched the Jones Soda video first).

    Green Beans and Peas are good for you. 20 year old Crystal Pepsi is not. Green vegetables have vitamins, fiber and stuff our the body needs.

    I think you got sick as a child after eating the green beans as a mental defense in retaliation to the woman who "made" you eat them. You've been rebelling ever since.

    Choosing old soda over greens and veggies is akin to feeding a child liquor instead of water.

    It was an okay, I guess. I think you set the bar pretty high with "Blood Freak", for the cheer WTF-ness factor in that thing. This just seems like a cheesy, by-the-book slasher.

    "Body by Jake," no!

    Judging by quality, this looks to sourced from the Media Home Entertainment VHS. Always nostalgic about that company, since I was introduced to "Night of the Living Dead," "Halloween," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," the "Elm Street" series, "Basket Case," "Maniac" (the Spinell one), "The Groove Tube" and "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" through them. Lucky I missed out on this and "Deathrow Gameshow" during my video store prowling years, but seeing as how this is my first comment after watching a bender of these, awesome job, Brad. I still feel compelled to masochistically watch several them out of curiosity's sake, but these are some great heads-up warnings.

    But to be fair, Media were also responsible for exposing me to "Sleepaway Camp," "The Curse," "Mannequin" and "Think Big" as a boy.

    2 things Brad as Snob missed. Killer played by Jake Steinfeld Body By Jake himself.

    Then the guy telling the 4 year old "if you don't eat your you can't get dessert", calls for "if you don't eat your beans how can you get any pudding" from Pink Floyd The Wall.
