This week we're covering the obscure "Carnosaur" franchise. It consists of a trilogy and 2 spinoffs. These movies that were produced by Roger Corman (known as "The King of B Movies"). Due to budget constraints, they kept using the same two dinos and the same scenes from the first movie over and over again.

The plots are all over the place and dont make any sense. The first movie has a geneticist (Diane Ladd) creating dinosaurs from chickens so she can wipe out the human race. She also devises a virus that makes women give birth to dinosaurs-- thus eventually killing all humans. Say what? The second movie is a straight up rip off of "Aliens"-- just with dinosaurs. The third movie has dinos in a warehouse and then on a ship for some reason. Now they must be saved because they contain human DNA and hold the secret to curing diseases. And the last two movies, I wont even bother to try to explain the story lines.

Despite these being hokey movies, Corman gets a surprising number of prominent actors to appear-- Diane Ladd, Clint Howard, John Savage, Eric Roberts, Corbin Bernsen, Tony Todd and Dee Wallace (to name a few).

I can't say I recommend these movies but if you want a good laugh, check them out. With the Rifftrax/MST3000 treatment, they would be much more interesting.

Did I miss the mark? Do you love these movies? Let me know in the comments section.

It's that time again. 2025 marks a pivotal year for horror. Horror movies made some $1.2 billion in domestic box office (passing the previous record in 2017). "The Conjuring: Last Rites" has made $494 million thus far. The "Conjuring" universe is the highest grossing franchise EVER (raking in $2.3 billion globally). "Sinners" is in second place with $367 million. "Final Destination: Bloodlines" is close behind at $315 million.

We also have two horror movies up for major awards at both the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. Will they come close to 1991's "The Silence Of The Lambs"? It is the only horror movie to ever win the "Big 5" Oscars-- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. Last year "The Substance" was nominated for five Academy Awards but did not win for Best Picture, Best Director or Best Actress. Demi Moore did however win a Best Actress Golden Globe and SAG award.

After watching more than 100 new movies in 2025, here are my favorites. Please let me know yours in the comments:

1. Sinners
2. Frankenstein
3. Weapons
4. The Long Walk
5. Final Destination: Bloodlines
6. Bring Her Back

This episode dives into the obscure "Boggy Creek" franchise. The 1972 low budget faux documentary "The Legend Of Boggy Creek" and 1985's "Boggy Creek 2: The Legend Continues" are the only two films by Charles B Pierce Sr. The other three movies by this name are unrelated.

The "Legend Of Boggy Creek" is considered the grandaddy of the found footage horror subgenre. The movie's title card says its a "true" story. It came out before "Cannibal Holocaust" which in turn is considered the inspiration for "Blair Witch Trial".

If you like Bigfoot movies, check out the original and the 2016 documentary "The Boggy Creek Monster". A number of locals are interviewed about the 1972 film. They give their opinions of what's true and what's not regarding the Fouke Monster. Is this Bigfoot's cousin? Decide for yourself.
