Do your friends also like trashy movies?

Thanks for the kind words! My wife and I hit it off from the very beginning when we met at a party that was unbelievably out of control with almost everybody under the influence of various substances. I ventured the opinion that the party was like BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS only not as coherent and she actually knew what I was talking about!  Part of the evening was even spent trying to stump each other on weird songs from Bad Movies.  Again, though, she's from my generation and I think all of us having been exposed to Bad Movies early on via Bill Cardille, Svenghoulie, Texas 27 Film Vault, etc pretty much hooked us on them for life!

You need to enjoy the Evil Dead Trilogy in order to be my friend. It's written in some contract somewhere.

I like Evil Dead 2 and Army Of Darkness,but in my mind the first Evil dead doesn´t exist.

I change stations every few years (2-4) and have become very good at recruiting new groups that also enjoy watching b-movies.  Cut their teeth on some easy ones, like "Flash Gordon" (1980), "Evil Dead 2", and "Bad Taste."  Using MST3K works too.  Then you start moving into the serious territory.  Eventually, even though they know you are going to watch something awful at least once per gathering, they still come over for the laughs and breaks between movies (food, talking, etc.).

i used to have a weekly "Bad Movie Night" with my best friends.  for a year every week we watched at least 2 bad movies.  some weeks it was 8 or 10, but we had a great time.

then i moved to Vegas where nobody likes bad movies.  so i think it's back to Dallas for meeeeeeee...

i wish there were a way to find people in a specific place that liked bad movies.
anyone know of such a site?

[Vermin Boy]

Hey, there's gotta be some people-- Isn't Vegas the current home of Ray Dennis Steckler (director of The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies) and his video store?

[spikesangel]

oh my.
i must hie myself thither and locate this guy!
maybe there is hope for me after all!

I'm not very good at converting people, mainly because I use to enjoy the strangest things - Jean Claude Van Damme later films, asian stuff - and they don't use to find them funny at all. However, I managed to introduce my sister to asian stuff and now loves it, and even better, I convinced some college people to watch "Dagon" and some John Carpenter stuff, like "Escape from L.A." or "In the mouth of madness", with great success.

My closer friends still look at me with fear when I tell them I got a new DVD that they might enjoy, but at least I manage to make them watch different things than usual now and then. My last victory was to subject my best friend, who often refuses to watch movies with any intelectual content at all (he often says he only wants fun) to the first half of "Apocalypse Now Redux". He is still hallucinating.

I don't recomend FRANKENSTIENS CASTLE OF FREAKS. It's a bad/stupid movie of the worst kind.
