Saturday Graverites!
The Ghastly Ones (1968) : Not only is this an amazing movie but it is also the name of an amazing band. I love this movie, and it fits perfect with this months theme, plus it is def. a graverite. A gruesome tale of revenge and bloodshed, from the Shock King of Staten Island, cult writer/director, Andy Milligan. It has a great cast and a even better story line. This super-cheap horror film story is set in an eerie Victorian mansion where a family has gathered for a will-reading. Three couples must spend the night there to inherit a fortune according to the will. Then they start dying one by one, as people are impaled with pitchforks, decapitated, dismembered, and have their throats hacked open with knives. There is a lot of disgusting gore including a scene where a hunchbacked cretin eats live rabbits. It doesn't get any better than this if you ask me. You can make is a double feature night with Seeds Of Sin (1968) : Claris Manning is an alcoholic invalid who tyrannizes her children when her youngest daughter, Carol, invites her family to spend a Christmas week together. They include Matthew, a crackpot clergyman; Michael, a misogynist businessman whom is sexually attracted to Carol, but abusive to his wife Susan; Margaret, the eldest daughter, whom is currently dating a local tough named Jonathan; and Buster, the youngest son from a military school whom brings over his gay lover Drew. Meanwhile, the two live-in servants, Peter and Jessica, plot to kill Mrs. Manning to gain her money for themselves. But an unseen killer soon begins killing off all the characters present for their debauched lifestyles they have led to since leaving the household. Perfect for a Saturday movie/popcorn night. Enjoy!
