That's how all us crazy folks got here!

I seen ASTRO ZOMBIES on WKZO Channel 41 Kalamazoo Shock Theater.
Even as an 10 year old in 1972 I knew this movie sucked.
After that I would purposly try to see all the s**t movies on the cover of Famous Monsters- like DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN and WHATEVER HAPPENED TO COUNT DRACULA?

When I seen it it was in black and white because out TV was black and white.

I think it was THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER that really won me over.

I'm 33.  So, a few things.

MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs, used to be on TNT back in the day.  Tons of 'not so good movies.'
MST3K--But, of course.

Also, there was a local station here in Philly, a UHF station of sorts, that showed all kinds of off the wall programming.  Like, mornings and afternoons were syndicated 60s sitcoms, nights might be religious programs.  Weekends were a hodgepodge of WWF programming, bad martial arts films, direct-to-vhs films, and old horror films from the 50s and 60s.

That sounds like my kinda channel! When I lived in NYC in 1979-80  I watched Chiller and the Addams Family and Benny Hill-while I was high on angel dust that they usta sprinkle on the pin joints they sold at the corner. "Cheba!" It was called "Cheba!"

I take that back (not the liking you guys part) I used to love watching Elvira's Movie Macabre on Saturday nights when I was little, and her movies stank.

This channel here was great.  I was unemployed for a bit and would just get blasted drunk on the weekend and watch the terrible movies and pro-wrestling.  It'd literally be like, a Bruce Lee film from the 70s, The Fly starring Vincent Price and then an Anna Nicole Smith film and then like, WWF shows at night or whatever  Buggedout

That sounds like my life in the 80's when I lived at Village Commons in 1987 and just drank and watched USA Network and Head Bangers Ball.

I was also very fond of the more recent movie HATCHET.  To me, it captured everything that was fun about 80's slasher flicks!

I gotta say-Tiana LOVED Hatchet.

I thought it sucked-Sorry Indy-arrh! I couldn't stand it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
