I got to see a few newer comedy horror films and a couple of more classics this past week. I got to see Full Moon's new comedy horror called "Weed-gies," which is about similar creatures to the classic ghoulies with similar humor that's meant to be stupid but funny, and it is funny and entertaining in that sort of way. Those into the Ghoulies series should get a kick out of that one as well. Another is "Channel 13," a comedy horror anthology that is also meant to be stupid but funny, also entertaining in that sort of way. Another is a spin-off on Scooby-Doo with a Great Dane, similar mystery solving gang that rides around in a van, called "Saturday Morning Mystery," only this one is actually more scary than funny, but it does keep interest, and they did overall a good job with it.
The classics I finally got to see are "The Slayer" from 1982 and Joe D'Amato's "Grim Reaper," also known as "Savage Island," from 1979. "The Slayer" is about a lady who keeps having bad dreams and blames bad things that happen in real life on them, then takes a vacation with her husband, brother, and sister-in-law to a secluded island, hoping that would help with her situation, only to have more bad dreams and more bad things happening on that island. That one actually has an interesting plot and story that really keeps interest with some well developed interesting characters in it. It also has plenty of twists and turns as well. "Grim Reaper" is another classic Italian giallo horror film taking place on a secluded island that not too many people live on, believed to be cursed with a lot of unexplained murders with missing dead bodies. That one starts off intense right from the start, and really has some great twists and turns in it. Those into the Italian giallo style should definitely like that one as well.

Those all seem like they could be fun to watch. The Scooby Doo one sounds alright. I watch a lot of movies on Tubi at night after my wife goes to bed. Unfortunately, I usually fall asleep before they finish and the next day I can't remember the names of the ones I want to revisit. I watch so many that they all get jumbled up so some I watch again then realize, oh I've seen this one already. Really need to write them down. There was one I saw with people on an island, pretty sure it was Italian and dubbed. Don't remember the name or the director, but it was a doctor and he was making zombies that were killing folks. Pretty gory and I liked what parts I saw. Haven't been able to find it again. Maybe you've seen it classichorrorfan ? |

Zombie 4 has a witch doctor using voodoo turning people into zombies on an island, and that is an Italian loose sequel to Lucio Fulci's Zombie, only with a different director. That might be the one you saw. If not, I'd like to find out and see it myself. Those Italian giallo films are some of the best out there. |

I watched Zombie 4 last night classichorrorfan, I think that was the movie I had seen. The setting and story seemed familiar and the gore was good, so I guess that was the one. Anyway, I enjoyed it so thanks for the info! |
