HMSG Interview Jack Bennett - "Brain Damage!"This week we chat about the Frank Henenlotter film, BRAIN DAMAGE (1988) with JACK BENNETT - fabulous filmmaker and friend of the show! We bonded with Bennett over his love for weird and wonderful things and the delightful practical effects used in this cult classic. Jack Bennett started his career as a DIY writer-director in Southwest Virginia, alternating self-produced narrative films with work as a for-hire cameraman and editor. After his horror movie CAPRICE played the international film festival circuit in 2010, Jack relocated to Los Angeles and has built a body of work across a variety of genres. His recent directing credits include the horror shorts GOOD NIGHT, EVERYONE'S A CRITIC and A GOOD SCREAM, the concert films MR. BUNGLE: THE NIGHT THEY CAME HOME and ANTHRAX XL, the feature-length NEVER SURRENDER: A GALAXY QUEST DOCUMENTARY, music videos for Brian Posehn's comedy/metal record GRANDPA METAL and a documentary tribute to the life and legend of music icon Meat Loaf.  Bennett has produced and conducted on-camera interviews with such luminaries as Sigourney Weaver, Keanu Reeves, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Lloyd, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, Slash and Academy Award-winning Breaking Bad/Rain Man producer Mark Johnson, among others, and contributed to convention panels as moderator and guest at Comic Con, FanX, Monsterpalooza, Days of the Dead and Rock & Shock. We hope you enjoy this fresh jam-packed episode! Support the show

This movie is not for all tastes, but it IS for Drusilla and Josh. It's Singapore Sling: The Man Who Loved a Corpse by Nikolai Nikolaides. From wiki: “Singapore Sling: The Man Who Loved a Corpse (Greek: Singapore Sling: Ο Άνθρωπος που Αγάπησε ένα Πτώμα, tr. Singapore Sling: O Ánthropos pou Agápise éna Ptóma) is a 1990 Greek black and white horror underground art film directed by Nikos Nikolaidis and regarded as his magnum opus. Considered a difficult film to label while still managing to develop something of a cult following throughout the years nonetheless, it was shot in a bizarre manner somewhat resembling film noir or neo-noir and black comedy as well as the exploitation, thriller, and crime genres mixed with some elements of eroticism and horror with sex being used as a power game and received a theatrical release in Greece on 6 December 1990.[1][2] “Drusilla saw Almodóvar's double feature of shorts, Strange Way of Life and The Human Voice. She also saw: Dicks! The Musical. Josh writes the Darren Criss Halloween Show at A.C.T. in San Francisco. He watched Tod Browning's Freaks.

Nekromantik (1987)   West German horror exploitation film co-written and directed by Jörg Buttgereit. It is known to be frequently controversial, banned in a number of countries, and has become a cult film over the years due to its transgressive subject matter (including necrophilia) and audacious imagery.   The film is currently banned outright in Iceland, Norway, Malaysia, Singapore, and the provinces of Nova Scotia and Ontario in Canada. In 1992, the Australian Classification Board banned the film outright in Australia due to "graphic necrophilia content". In 1993, the film was banned in Finland. The film was banned outright by the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification in 1999 due to "revolting, objectionable content (necrophilia, high impact violence, animal cruelty and abhorrent behavior)". The film is banned in a number of other countries as well.    Basket Case (1982)   This American horror film written and directed by Frank Henenlotter, and produced by Edgar Ievins. Kevin Van Hentenryck stars as a normal-looking person who seeks vengeance for the unwanted surgery that separated him from his deformed conjoined twin brother.   The movie was shot on 16 mm film. Basket Case had a budget of only about $35,000, financed by a small production team largely with its own rental money to enable the film to be realized. Director Henenlotter did not have control over the post-production, and the result was dark, murky, and converted to a different aspect ratio. The film was shot in part on Manhattan's 42nd Street. Henenlotter wrote the film as he walked around Times Square, which he called a "seedy, wonderful atmosphere." ​ The special effects for Belial consist largely of a puppet in some scenes and stop motion in others. When Belial's hand is seen attacking his victims, it is really a glove worn by Henenlotter. The puppet is used in scenes with an actor and where the eyes glow red. The sequence for Belial's rampage used stop motion animation. We are joined by Matthew Brockmeyer, novelist.   Opening Credits/Introduction (1.51); Oh My GOD!!!

The term “cult classic” can be seen as a compliment or an insult when it comes to a movie because many times that designation means the film is so bad that audiences can't help but enjoy it but other times that just shows the dedication fans have to a particular work of art. For director Frank Henenlotter, arguably his greatest success was also his greatest shame. After he was inspired to write a script following a simple idea about a monster living inside a basket, Henenlotter ended up with his first feature length film. Shot on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of New York City where filming was done without any permits or permission, Henenlotter and his tiny crew — a group so small he actually made up names for the credits just so it looked like the movie had more people working on it — made what would go onto become a true cult classic with horror fans for many years to come. Despite the film's success and two subsequent sequels, Henenlotter says he was “horrified at the results” of what actually ended up being shown in theaters. In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we're going to make sure lock is on tight and turn off the voices in our head as we review the 1982 movie “Basket Case”….

For this week's installment in Femme Fatale February, imagine this: you waddled into some video store and you need to pick a movie. You want to pick something empowering to womyn, because you aren't no scrub (also known as a "busta"). In this scenario, the alphabet is different and you see two options side by side, Teeth and Frankenhooker. Which do you choose? Teeth was written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein. It features Jess Weixler as Dawn O'Keefe, who just happens to have a Gilgamek vagina from South Park... y'know, lined with teeth. Weixler recently wrote and starred in Fully Realized Humans. Please see it and report back, because it seems to be a really interesting character study. Rather than ending up in Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, this poor girl just goes to Jesus parties and talks about abstinence. We didn't talk about this on the show, but I am dying to know what you think her X-Man-- X-Woman? Aha! X-Person name would be. Let us know at slasherspod@gmail.com. Best submissions will get read on next week's episode. She is repeatedly victimized by the men in her life, though refreshingly not the one guy you would expect if you've ever seen a horror movie before. The main antagonist in the film is John Hensley as Brad. You may recall he was in Nip/ Tuck. Remember when that show was kinda like a thriller and then it just became gross and sad? Anyway, his mutation is being (and not having) a massive dick-- which you get to see onscreen! ...albeit mangled and bleeding. The other choice is Frankenhooker. I know, you are probably rolling your eyes, but let's have a candid discussion about it. This film was "written" by Bob Martin and Frank Henenlotter. I say "written," because Henenlotter has basically admitted that this movie had very little in terms of a script, yet somehow it provides pretty timeless social commentary and has structural elements like callbacks. You may know Henenlotter from the Basket Case trilogy. He is also a renowned cinema historian. If you are a fan of this show, please consider checking him out. He has some great interviews and can talk everything from pulp exploitation films to b-movie creature features. Frankenhooker stars James Lorinz as Jeffrey Franken. He is an electroengineer, blessed and cursed with brilliance, and seemingly doused in rotten luck. His fiancee, played by Patty Mullen, is Elizabeth Shelley/ the TITular Frankenhooker (see what I did there?). Sadly, her onscreen career was very short, with her only other film being Doom Asylum. She was a Penthouse playmate of the month and year though, so that's cool. When tragedy befalls Elizabeth, Jeffrey exploits working women, trying to harvest their parts to reconstruct the love of his life. Truly, a romantic masterpiece. Which is better? Which is more fun to watch? Which is more empowering to women? Which should you rent in this scenario? Listen, and find out!

Welcome back to PART 2 of Ep43 A Lotta Henenlotter If you haven't listened to Part 1 you can listen to it here https://soundcloud.com/btvcast/btv-ep43-part-1-dating-a-horror-fan-6_5_17 This Thursday Patrick returns and we dive into our Flesh and Potatoes Segment of “A Lotta Henenlotter”. 2 awesome movies shot in New York City by Director / Writer Frank Henenlotter. As he's always said. He's always said “I never felt that I made 'horror films', I always felt that I a made exploitation films” What do you guys think? Exploitation or Horror films? We talk briefly about Alex watching “Raw” recently. Spoiler free of course. Also the space alien movie “LIFE” briefly as well too. Then we kick off (in order) with Henenlotters first feature film “Basket Case” (1982) about a brother who seeks vengeance for the unwanted surgery that separated him from his deformed conjoined twin brother. Plenty of Blood and lots of laughs. Inadvertent or not. This movie started it all for Henenlotter. It also brought film makers out of nowhere to make movies. Then we finish it off with “Brain Damage” (1988) a wildly psychedelic spurting (Lady Device) shaped blue creature with the intellect of a wise man forces a New York kid out of his apartment to do his bidding. After the kid gets addicted things get really weird. Part comedy part genius. All Henenlotter. We dissect it with care. So grab your conjoined twin , don't forget your buckets of water and be sure to grab your blue turd shaped (lady device) that talks as we travel Beyond The Void!

This week, Brian, John, and Laine are joined by award winning filmmaker, educator, and some time chocolatier, PJ Gaynard of Goat Milk Fudge Productions.  They tackle the quintessential classic of cinematic schlock; the 1990 Frank Henenlotter classic, Frankenhooker.  Yes, Frankenhooker, the movie Bill Murray himself said, "If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker."  We try to analyze this b movie gem and find answers to some of the movie's biggest questions; such as why is there no blood when you drill into your head.  And of course, where is Jeffery Franken's "Johnson"? So strap in for a meeting of the minds as we dive into the purple goo that is Frankenhooker.

Episode VII: Say No To Drugs But Say Yes To Horror Business Greetings, children of the night, and welcome back to another timber shivering episode of Horror Business, the podcast that came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and it’s not only out of bubblegum but is hosted by two flabby weirdos who couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag. Thanks always for checking us out, because ultimately we do this for you. This episode deals with the rather touchy subject of addiction, be it to drugs, alcohol, an abusive relationship, or whatever weird blue stuff Alymer secretes in our first film Brain Damage. All joking aside, addiction is undoubtedly one of the more horrific aspects of society that is often used merely as a vehicle in horror films instead of actually being examined and commented upon as an actual phenomenon. The episode starts out with a brief discussion on the life and work of H.P. Lovecraft, who’s death anniversary fell on March 15th when this episode was recorded. His impact on the world of horror and weird fiction is undeniable, but unfortunately his rather unsavory views on race were equally undeniable. We briefly discuss the concept of separating the work from the creator, and ponder as to whether or not it was even possible to do so with Lovecraft, and ultimately decide that while the impact of Lovecraft’s work cannot and should not be denied, his legacy should contain something of an asterisk after it and his personal views should not be brushed under the rug. The recent film The Witch is also discussed, and how the difference between “terror” and “horror” have impacted the way modern horror audiences view and digest horror films. The first film of the episode, as previously mentioned, is Frank Henenlotter’s 1988 film Brain Damage. The obvious parallels between the relationship between the parasite Alymer and the protagonist Brian and that of an addict and drugs is discussed. Similarly, the abusive nature of that relationship is brought up in how it resembles an actual abusive relationship between two individuals even without drugs being involved. Henenlotter’s intent in making the film is a focal point of the discussion: did he make it in an attempt to bring attention to the plight of an addict, or was he merely using the subject of addiction as a vehicle to further a plot? Was it a social commentary upon the public perception of addiction at the time (the tail of end of the Reagan Era and the subsequent ‘War On Drugs’)? The seesawing tone of the film is discussed, in that the film goes from humorous and silly to extremely dark and grim: despite being about a brain eating parasite driving a character to murder by keeping him addicted to its own secretions, there is an underlying flavor of silliness to most of the movie with the exception of a few parts. Henenlotter’s other work, primarily Basket Case, is brought up in an attempt to ascertain a more serious message to the film. A minor point is made on the aesthetics of the film; it takes place in late 80s New York City, just prior to the ‘Disneyification’ of the city.   The second film of the episode is Guillermo del Toro’s 1993 vampire film Cronos. The genre of the film is discussed; is it a fantasy movie? A straight up vampire film? A tragic horror film? Again, as with Brain Damage, the parallels to real world addiction is discussed, although unlike the first film Cronos takes a far more delicate and sympathetic stance on addiction in that it largely treats addiction as an actual phenomenon and disease rather than something that is used merely to further a plot. The possibility of recovery that is symbolized by the conclusion of the film is examined, and the weirdly hopeful tone it gives the film as opposed to the bleak and nihilistic tone of Brain Damage. The motives for drug use are discussed in how they are presented in the film. Attention is given to del Toro’s stylistic choices, given that Cronos was his first film and set the standard for wha...

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Basket Case!  Basket Case is a 1982 American horror-comedy-monster movie written and directed by Frank Henenlotter. It has two sequels, Basket Case 2 (1990) and Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1991), both of which were directed by Henenlotter. The film is definitely one of our absolute favorites, low budget, off-beat and gory. The film gained an audience in the 1980s due to the proliferation of VHS and has become a bona fide cult classic. Kevin Van Hentenryck stars as Duane, an average, everyday dude who seeks vengeance for the unwanted surgery that separated him from his deformed conjoined twin brother, who was unceremoniously tossed in the trash. Belial is left for dead but the grey misshapen lump of flesh is very much alive. Soon, it's stuffed into a basket carrying case by its protective brother, Duane. The duo make their way to the mean streets of New York City (42nd street, aka The Deuce) and take up residence in a very sleazy hotel. They then seek vengeance against doctors who performed the surgery and separated the inseparable "twins."

When I first saw “Frankenhooker” back in the 90′s it blew me away. It quickly became a movie I would watch over and over. When I first heard that the star of that movie, Patty Mullen, was going to be a guest at The Mad Monster Party I got really excited. This was her very first convention and I knew I really wanted to interview her for Monsters From The Basement. She was such a nice lady and agreed to do the interview. We talked about her memories of the movie, what she does now and how she hopes to attend more conventions in the future. Please join me and listen to my interview with Patty Mullen!!!

Kevin Van Hentenryck achieved instant cult status as the engagingly guileless and nerdy Duane Bradley in Frank Henenlotter's marvelously gory and sleazy low-budget horror splatter gem "Basket Case." Kevin was born on May 28, 1953 and hails from Oak Park, Michigan. He initially began acting in 10th grade. Van Hentenryk had an uncle who was a performer in radio, television, and movies and an aunt who had acted in a soap opera for many years. Kevin graduated from Ferndale High School in 1972. Van Hentenryck first met Henenlotter while attending the American Academy of Dramatic Art in New York City. He eventually wound up playing his first substantial lead role in Henenlotter's "Basket Case." The slender, curly-haired and boyishly affable Van Hentenryck brought a winning blend of sweet wide-eyed innocence and charming awkwardness to the part of Duane. He had an amusing cameo as Duane in Henenlotter's terrific "Brain Damage." In addition, Van Hentenryck reprised the role of Duane in the two hugely enjoyable "Basket Case" sequels. He more recently gave a hilarious performance as a deranged psycho in the uproarious horror comic short "The Catskill Chainsaw Redemption." Outside of acting, Kevin Van Hentenryck has had a successful career as a self-taught sculptor.
