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...

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!

The BMB is back in town!

This week we return to our regularly scheduled regular schedule with a trio of trash sure to satisfy even the quirkiest of B-movie tastes - particularly if your tastes include really offensive sexually perverted dwarves.

And I ain't talking about Blag Dahlia! (Who probably is sexually perverted but I actually find quite charming.)

Anywhoo, first join Bunny and head back to the sleazy '70s - circa New Jersey no less - to book a fitting with the best secret weapon to ever wear a dress, Ginger.

Then, in the latest installment of Manor On Movies, join the one the only the Stately Wayne Manor as he taxies around Hangar 18 (aka Invasion Force).
