Really Awful Movies: Ep 146 – Don’t Go in the Woods

Don’t Go in the Woods (or, Don’t Go in the Woods…Alone) is a 1981 slasher, which benefited from its inclusion on the UK Video Nasties list.

But really, it has none of what we’ve come to associate with said list, namely the nudity and the conspicuous gore.

A bunch of campers, led by a wilderness guru Craig, are lost in the Utah backwoods. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s a maniac lurking about. No bears though.

Check it out!

Really Awful Movies: Ep 145 – Maniac Cop

Robert Z’Dar. The unmistakable face (and chin) of genre films, starred in Maniac Cop, alongside Tom Atkins and Bruce Campbell.

Many people are fearful of law enforcement, and this Larry Cohen-penned feature exploits that very fear.

Under the direction of William Lustig (Maniac), we enter a dark, sinister, urban landscape…and a rogue cop is laying waste to the citizenry.

You have the right to remain silent. Forever.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 141 – Scream

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since SCREAM.

The film’s hella fun, but polarizing, as some people aren’t as enamored with its self-referential, ironic tone.

Still, with a cast like that (C’mon, Barrymore/Cox/Campbell/Arquette) it’s still one for the ages and the iconic killer has stood the test of time, even if he doesn’t kill with the same ruthlessness and unstoppability of a Mr. Voorhees or a Mr. Myers.

A look back at Ghostface, Wes Craven and the comedy horror of Scream on Ep 141 of the Really Awful Movies Podcast.
