While Bunny paints a picture about a picture that goes beyond her imagination, The Sexploiters.

Robot reanimation & medical experimentation; new this week at the buffet...

Hey everybody!

Sorry for the unexpectedly long absence. I got chicken pox right after the New Year holiday (literally, on January 2nd) and I'm just getting back on track.

We should be resuming our somewhat regular schedule of regular updates as of this week's update so on that note...

Join the Kommandant as he tries to stop the progress of '90s post apocalyptic sci-fi thriller Hardware.

Then join Bunny as she goes underground with a freak of nature whose crimes go beyond her wildest terror, Hunchback Of The Morgue.

This week the Kommandant takes off with the mother of all macaroni combat films, Eagles Over London.

While Bunny gets an education in the wild, untold story of Ozploitation from Mark Hartley's Not Quite Hollywood.

****

An on that note, Happy Holidays everyone!

We'll be taking our annual non-denominational holiday break for the last two weeks of December so, since I won't be writing one of these until literally next year, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a festive season and a happy 2010.

We'll see you back here the first week of January for another year of B-Movie goodness.

Cheers!

Hi-jinx and hemoglobin; new this week at the buffet...

This week Bunny laps up a double bill of totally kooky, somewhat kinky kitty krime, Kitten In A Cage & The Girl From Pussycat.

While the Kommandant makes himself at home with Jorge Grau's, The Legend Of Blood Castle.

Brazen Brass; new this week at the buffet...

This week we set the wayback machine for Italy circa 1969 to ingest a double dose of dubious ideas courtesy the ever artsy fartsy lens of Tinto Brass.

First Bunny develops an aversion to the psychedelic pop art experiment of Attraction (Nerosubianco).

Then The Kommandant quietly comments on surreal "cult classic" The Howl.

Gobble gobble hey...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I completely forgot to mention this last week but this week there will be no update. We're hosting turkey day dinner and will be a little too occupied with food and guests this weekend (and the aftermath of food and guests) to be working.

We will return to our somewhat regular schedule next week with a double dose of Brazen Brass; Tinto Brass that is. (And seriously, both of these films look crazy!!)

Anywhoo, wherever you're going and whatever you're eating, I hope you have a lovely holiday.

Cheers!

Corpses and curses; new this week at the buffet...

This week the BMB travels from the boggy moors of Scotland to the swampy swamplands of Florida to bring you a trio of tasty tongue-in-cheek horror flicks.

First join Bunny as she digs the legend of legendary body snatchers Burke And Hare.

Then join the Kommandant as he dives into a double dose of deep South sinema, Death Curse Of Tartu & Sting Of Death.

Female trouble & troubled females; new this week at the buffet...

This week the Kommandant returns to the Hammer vaults to sift through the sands of fantasy film She.

While Bunny marvels at the wonders of Filipino exploitation flick Wonder Women.

PS: I would have offered up a menu of appropriately named entrees to celebrate the Friday the 13th aspect of this date on the calendar but I think we pretty much covered all of those bases a few years back with our 2006: The Year Of The 13ths feature.

Murder, mayhem & more murder and mayhem; new this week at the buffet...

This week we officially return to our somewhat regularly scheduled program with two relatively new DVD releases featuring two relatively obscure films.

First Bunny shines a light on a moody, atmospheric slice of British horror / noir, Daughter Of Darkness.

Then the Kommandant throws a rope over the bow of Paul Naschy flick The Hanging Woman.

Gourds, gore and girls; new this week at the buffet...

Happy mischief night everybody!

Well, technically it's mischief afternoon... and now that I think about it, on the West Cost it's actually still mischief morning... but what can I say except I have other plans this evening and wanted to get this update off of my to-do list as early in the day as possible.

Anywhoo, on behalf of the BMB staff - yes, all three of us! - I invite you to grab a plate, step up to the buffet and help us celebrate our collective favorite holiday with a maniacal monster-iffic menu of horror "classics".

First join the Kommandant as he brandishes his rustiest kitchen utensil and carves into curious post-slasher flick Jack-O.

Then join Bunny (and the actual host of the DVD, Elvira) and dive into a devilish double feature featuring Maneater Of Hydra & The House That Screamed.

Seamen and tree men; new this week at the buffet...

As promised in yesterday's post, this week the BMB returns to cyberspace with a seasonally appropriate surf and turf style creature double feature.

First join Bunny as she goes monster hunting island style to get to the roots of atom age sci-fi flick From Hell It Came.

Then join the Kommandant as he baits his hook and reels in Sergio Martino's Island Of The Fishmen.

Good news everybody!

Well, good news for those of you who enjoy the site. (And if you don't... uh, why are you still reading this?)

This evening I will be putting the finishing touches on a fresh, tasty update and tomorrow evening the B-Movie Buffet will make it's somewhat triumphant return to cyberspace. Yay!

Then - in an ironic twist of fate - we will be celebrating the momentous occasion by taking the following week off.

(Sorry! We're gonna be without internet access Tues - Thurs. of that week so there's not too much I can do about it.)

We will however return to our previously rather regular schedule of regular weekly updates as of the last week of October, barring any other natural or unnatural disaster.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Anywhoo, tune in tomorrow for a creature double feature featuring From Hell It Came & Island Of The Fishmen.

Vampire obsession and satanic possession; new this week at the buffet...

This week Bunny stakes out Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers.

While the Kommandant survives indie horror flick GothKill.

And on that note, the buffet is on holiday!

We will return to our regularly scheduled schedule sometime in the Fall. (I'm hoping to have things up and running early in September & will try to keep this page updated with my / our progress.)

Sons and daughters; new this week at the buffet...

In honor of Father's Day, we serve up this week's BMB menu family style.

First join Bunny as she straps up her gladiator sandals for a date with the Son Of Samson.

Then join the Kommandant as he fails to fall under the spell of sapphic softcore vampire flick Vampyres, aka Daughters of Dracula.

*****

In other news, this year our annual summer break will be extended by a couple weeks; we will be taking off the entire month of July.

(To make a long story slightly less long, we normally take off the last two weeks of the month, so I don't have to update the site while we're on vacation, but this year my July weekend calendar is extra booked and I will only be home on one Friday night out of the month. So, at the risk of sounding selfish, I decided to make my life a little easier by not trying to squeeze site updates into an already somewhat hectic schedule.)

Of course, it'll still be June next Friday so I'll see you then!

Ghosts, guns and girls; new this week at the buffet...

This week the Kommandant listens to the rhythms of Paul Nacshy's Panic Beats.

In the latest installment of Manor On Movies, Stately Wayne Manor gets arrested by Samurai Cop.

And Bunny reads the charts of The Virgo, The Taurus And The Capricorn.

Docurama-Rama; new this week at the buffet...

This week the BMB veers slightly off topic to serve up a heapin' helpin' of grade A music related documentary.

First join Bunny and get in the van for a ride with Pansy Division: Life In A Gay Rock Band.

Then join the Kommandant and tune in, turn on and rock out to You're Gonna Miss Me: A Film About Roky Erickson.
