Argh, I like to consider myself a fan of b-grade horror movies (I loved Carnasaur 1 and 3), yet for the life of me, I can't come up with the title of two movies I haven't seen in years. More than ten years ago, USA used to show a lot of horror movie marathons. During one of their marathons I saw two movies that I haven't seen since and need a hand identifying.
1. just saw the last twenty minutes of this one. Was a group of people staying in a haunted house getting killed by more than one monster. There was a guy in the basement/underground lair that had a run in with a giant she-spider that sucked him dry. The very last person to die was a girl that jumped out a window and jumped in a car with a guy. The guy said something like "I always loved you", then turns into a monster (think just green makeup). end credits.
2. This was a vampire movie where a girl turns into a vampire. Her boyfriend saves himself from her by sticking a huge roach in her mouth. Yum. At the end, the head vampire is staked and put in a museum. The stake falls out of his corpse and the credits roll.
Good luck with these! IThese two have been bothering me since I was single digits.
Well, I can definitely identify the first one as "Spookies." Here is the review:

Egads!
I thought I had read all your reviews Andrew. I feel shame...
Thanks for the first one though, I remember the haunted house one was good, while the vampire one was kinda boring.
You know, when I was younger I saw SPOOKIES and remember being favorably impressed. Then, several years ago, I watched it again.
Apparently, I used to be an idiot.
Liked Carnosaur 1 and 3 -- but NOT 2??? What's wrong with you, man?
Carnosaur 2 wasn't hockey enough for me, just mediocre. While I think that raptors are the most dangerous dinos (especially Utahraptors), I love a big meanie bitting off limbs. The first one had Clint Howard, which immediately made the movie good. Heck, he made House of the Dead good enough for me. For the third one, I liked the inclusion of b-movie soldiers. BM soldiers always kick the ass of the locals, yet only one or two are able to survive the real menace (Predator, Aliens, and I'll throw in Dog Soldiers even though it started out a training excersize). My biggest problem about the second one was the inclusion of an annoying kid that is able to survive on its own. From here on out, it is Law. No More Children Unless Thy Name Is Newt.
Nice site, btw Nathan
