Demon Seed (1982)





Last night, from the YouTube channel The Burial Ground5, I watched this weird, cheesy, sleazy and unintentionally hilarious flick called Demon Seed.













A woman named Lisa is living in a beach house with her architect husband Burt, and their teenage daughter Michelle. Since Burt is so busy with work, he’s neglecting Lisa. The daughter starts seeing odd things and suspecting that there’s something wrong in the house, as well as noticing the growing tension between her parents. A demon woman named Belline appears, with a scheme to try and take possession of the family, and takes advantage of Lisa’s loneliness by having her be seduced by the spirit of a handsome man. Disturbed by his wife’s increasingly bizarre behavior, Burt seeks the help of his friend’s psychic wife Ann Marie, in an effort to get to the bottom of the strange things happening at their home.












This movie was so damn cheesy and had me laughing multiple times, with its outrageous scenes of supernatural shenanigans, including a demonic black cat, glowing eyes, a face that appears on a wall, a decapitation and scenes of the wife being seduced by a ghost (she spends half the movie naked and making orgasmic groaning sounds). I’m not sure what they were going for, as the end result consists of them throwing a bunch of ridiculous, random things at the wall to see what sticks. David Carradine even makes a brief appearance as a priest. Between the bad acting, the ridiculous, nonsensical storyline, cheesy synthesizer music and bad sound design (there's a few scenes where the background noise drowns out the dialogue spoken by the characters), this is a bad movie lover’s dream. It was known under a bunch of different titles, including Satan's Mistress, Demon Rage, Fury of the Succubus and Dark Eyes. If you happen to catch this, you’ll know it for how hilariously awful it is.

Titanic Creations Yongary 1967

This figure was released in late December, and I got it about 2 days before the New Year, so I'm counting it as a 2025 release. It is the Titanic Creations version of the Korean kaiju Yongary, Monster From The Deep. The film was released in 1967 as a Godzilla ripoff, with several ideas copied from the Gamera series, such as his tusks, his ability to fire a stream of flames from his mouth, and even firing a laser beam from his horn, similar to the slicing one used by Gyaos. The film is pretty goofy, but Yongary, like most of those Asian monsters, was pretty cool (to me, at least), so I was psyched that someone finally made a figure of this lesser known kaiju. When Titanic Creations put it up for pre-order, they announced a series of tiers, where they would add accessories when a certain number of orders were met. Enough fans ordered him, so that Yongary ended up with a shit ton of stuff, making him absolutely worth the price. In addition to the kaiju, you get a flame breath effect, ...

RicSan Custom Toys Kyōrū Kaiju (Titanosaurus)

My latest kaiju figure purchase is the Titanosaurus made by Ricsan Custom Toys. I own and love the Varan & Gabara, so of course I had to preorder this one when it was available. He was delivered earlier this week. This kaiju hails from the last Godzilla film of the Showa era, 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla. The Black Hole aliens are back, rebuilding their robot in another effort to take over the planet. They enlist the help of an ostracized Earth scientist named Mafune and his daughter Katsura, who are able to control an aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus. They plan to use both kaiju and mecha to attack Japan. Titano was a cool monster, with his tail that opened into a fish fin, and he would use it to create whirlpools in the sea, and high winds on land. I'm hoping that S.H. Monsterarts makes one for the 50th anniversary of the film, but when I saw this Ricsan Custom version, I couldn't pass it up. Titanosaurus (called the Kyōrū Kaiju), comes in a white box, with its n...

Help Me… I’m Possessed (1974) / #Missingcouple (2024)

I've watched some weird, obscure horror movies throughout my life. I can now add this lurid 1974 schlockfest to that growing list. In a castle in the desert, Dr. Arthur Blackwood runs a sanitarium filled with mentally disturbed patients (as well as staff). He claims to be working on finding a way to cure people of any violent tendencies they have, and brags about his younger sister, innocent, child-like Melanie, as evidence that his treatment works. When she was a child, their parents had to keep her locked up and chained in the basement, to control her violent fits. Now that he's cured her, Arthur has his wife Diane come to the castle to meet Melanie, so that they can be one big, happy family. Diane begins to grow suspicious that something is amiss after a Sheriff shows up investigating the murder of 2 local teens, and sets about on her own investigation, hoping to uncover the sinister secrets that she feels her husband is hiding. Help Me... I'm Possessed is an outrageous,...
