for Veronica Lake's centennial we're revisiting a few of her films...

Veronica Lake’s final words on film are “Heil Hitler.”
Nothing in the first sixty-five minutes of first-time director Brad F. Grinter’s schlocky 1970 mad scientist flick Flesh Feast will really prepare you for the final five minutes when a plot twist makes that line of dialogue possible, so I don’t feel particularly guilty spoiling the film’s ending up front – its ending is all it really has going for it...

If there's a holiday, there's probably a horror movie about it. Halloween is obviously the top dog, with plenty of solid options even beyond John Carpenter's seminal classic, but it doesn't stand alone. There are lots of Christmas-themed horror flicks, too, including enduring favorites like "Black Christmas" and "Krampus." The Fourth of July practically mandates a rewatch of "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Valentine's Day, of course, has its own early-'00s slasher.
Yet, likely by dint of its proximity to Christmas, filmmakers have gone cold turkey when it comes to serving up a heaping platter of Thanksgiving-related horror. It's inexplicable, too, given just how fruitful — and terrifying — the thought of family members both old and new gathering in one place really is. Dramas like "Pieces of April" and comedies like "The Oath" relish in Thanksgiving discomfort, but the horror genre is strangely resistant.

[[tmz:video id="0_3hjt9k0g"]] Conor McGregor must be high as a kite if he thinks he deserves equal pay to fight Floyd Mayweather ... so says "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Jason Lee ... an unofficial member of The Money Team. We got Jason Saturday at Toast in L.A., and he made it clear Floyd's ready to fight ... but that Conor's holding things up over ridiculous money demands. Jason also has a dismal outlook on the future of boxing. One...

Oddly conservative thematically for a movie that includes a scene of a man getting his leg sawed off, Brad F. Grinter’s Blood Freak is really a cautionary tale about the evils of drugs and gluttony.
Poor Hershell should know better than to eat modified turkey meat to feed his drug habit. When he wakes up in the woods with a turkey head, he finds he is still addicted to the evil sticky-icky and now needs to feast on the blood of other addicts to satiate his addiction and never-ending case of the munchies.
But the turkey-man-killer has a moral bend and only gobbles the blood of bad, bad marijuana addicts. In the end it takes the love of a good woman, who loves the Lord, to slice off his head.
This movie makes so little sense at times that writer/director Brad F. Grinter is forced to narrate the action.

A movie about a guy mutated in to a Turkey hybrid with a Jesus complex of anti-drugs. Oh yes I don’t think Jesus himself could save this movie. What better way to enjoy a family outing with a movie about a murderer with a turkey head. There are apparently only three (as far as I know) movies remotely about a turkey or Thanksgiving and all are horrible. “Blood Freak” is no exception to the rule.
What is the plot of this bad movie? A guy named Herschell is torn between two sisters (A Christian one and one who isn’t) and eventually falls in to temptation with the “sinful” sister. The guy, soon, works at a turkey farm with scientists who apparently he gets injected with some hormone which gives him a turkey head. A guy with a turkey head who is out for...
