Episode 016: Blood Diner (1987)

In this episode, we kick into celebrating Halloween and the month of October with a supersized series of episodes. We will be having one episode a week all month, each one covering a horror film. We've got a secret theme that again developed accidentally but Dustin promised not to oversell it this time so play along and see if you can figure out the connection over the month. Today we're diving into the wonderfully crazy world of Jackie Kong's 1987 feature Blood Diner. A loving tribute to the works of the Godfather of Gore himself Herschell Gordon Lewis, the film pays love to classic gore-filled horror while being every bit the kind of comedy that only the 80s could spawn.  But before we gush about the film, Michael takes his own turn breaking the rules to talk about a bit of horror television. Dustin shares a bit about his experience attending Fantasia virtually. Jason hurls the gauntlet down finding himself underwhelmed with The Green Knight. And so much more!  What We've Been Watching: -Michael: Slasher: Flesh & Blood (2021) -Dustin: Ultrasound (2021) -Jason: The Green Knight (2021) Show Notes: -Blood Diner Trailer -Stream Blood Diner on Shudder -Check out Dustin's review for Ultrasound at the Grimoire of Horror -Check out the Grimoire of Horror's 2021 Fantasia coverage -Related Film: Motel Hell -Related Film: Blood Feast -Related Film: Two Thousand Maniacs! -Related Film: The Wizard of Gore -Related Film: Jigoku -Related Film: The Being -Related Film: Night Patrol -Related Film: Psycho Goreman -Related Film: Murder Rock -Related Film: Frankenhooker -Related Doc: In Search of Darkness II -Related Song: Dino Lee – Stud Pony Next Time: TerrorVision (1986)
