POPULARITY
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 1989 was an okay year for horror movies but for me it felt like the beginning of the end of a certain style of horror that really came to prominence in the early 80s. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1989? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests.

Chris talks about the newly defunked Tempe Entertainment and the person behind it all, J.R. Bookwalter. Such films as The Dead next Door, Robot Ninja, Ozone, Skinned Alive, The Sandman and MANY more were vhs staples for Chris growing up and he was lucky enough to become a part of the Tempe family in 2001 which he goes into detail about. If you love TRULY indie horror and Shot On Video flicks, JR was one of the Pioneers and Tempe will always be remembered as one of the undergrounds giants of the genre.

Bookwalter.“Robot Ninja” é apenas um dos obscuros títulos deste realizador, que chegou mesmo a ser discretamente financiado por Sam Raimi para filmar o seu próprio apocalipse zombie caseiro de 89 “The Dead Next Door”.Certo dia, e já afastado desta vida, Bookwalter viu a pacatez do seu lar ser invadida por uma chamada Skype nossa. O que se seguiu pode agora ser aqui ouvido.

He’s a NINJA! But.. also a ROBOT. Actually, ROBOT NINJA doesn’t really feature a robot or a ninja, but it *does* contain a sociopath comic book writer inadvertently causing the death of many innocent people. It also has face stabbings, head stabbing, stomach stabbings and BODY MODS. But that’s not all! How about a little BURT WARD? How does that sound? J.R. Bookwalter followed his classic THE DEAD NEXT DOOR with this nuttiness, and MOE PORNE and DOUG “SWEETBACK” TILLEY are here to reap the rewards. OW. MY NUTS.
J.R. Bookwalter’s IMDb. J.R. Bookwalter has been around the world of low budget cinema for close to twenty years now. He made his first film, the Romero-influenced The Dead Next Door in 1988 with funding that partially came from EVIL DEAD director Sam Raimi. That film is still seen by many as the best film Bookwalter directed. Unfortunately for Bookwalter, The Dead Next Door would not hit shelves until after his second film did; Robot Ninja. With a title like that, how can you go wrong? According to Bookwalter, making that movie, and several others similar to it, for incredibly low budgets in small amounts of time was a surefire way to not only go wrong, but be on the run from what his friends termed the Bad Movie Police. That is the inspiration for the latest release from Tempe DVD, which is the company that Bookwalter has owned and operated for many years. Five of his earlier films, which he made for David DeCoteau’s Cinema Home Video, are included on the set. That set is, by the way, out in stores now. J.R. joined me yesterday to record this forty minute show, during which we discussed many elements of his career. Topics include how he came up with the concept for the Bad Movie Police series, working with David DeCoteau, making movies like Zombie Cop for $2500, putting together artwork for movies before they are made, making six movies over seven months, making tight deadlines, the joy of making fun of his movies, the process of making The Dead Next Door over a four year period, making films with John Russo, starting his own company, the most ridiculous way a movie of his was promoted, how he got introduced to Charlie Band, how Tempe became Full Moon’s production entity, how William Shatner’s Groom Lake almost bankrupted Full Moon (a tremendous story I had never heard), Charlie Band’s lavishness, the low points in his career that actually made money (Killjoy 2 in particular), the law of diminishing returns, and what he wants Tempe to become.
