Mel Novak, Bad Guys in ‘Game of Death’ and ‘Black Belt Jones,’ Dies at 90
Image
Mel Novak, the great movie villain known for his slick turns as the sniper Stick in Bruce Lee’s Game of Death, the gangster Blue Eyes in Jim Kelly’s Black Belt Jones and the informant Tony Montoya in Chuck Norris’ An Eye for an Eye, has died. He was 90.

Novak died Wednesday of natural causes at a hospice facility in Granada Hills, his daughter Nikol Conant told The Hollywood Reporter.

In a career that spanned seven decades, the charismatic Novak did lots of his own stunts, as in The Ultimate Warrior (1975), starring Yul Brynner and Max von Sydow. That was one of the four films he made with Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse.

In his death scene for that post-apocalyptic adventure, “They covered me with peanut butter and sunflower seeds and then put 40 live rats on me,” Novak recalled in a 2018 interview. “I told their trainer, ‘If one of them bites me,...

‘Space Sharks’ VOD Review
Image
Stars: Eric Roberts, Carl Crew, Scott Schwartz, Allie Perez, Brinke Stevens, Mel Novak | Written and Directed by Dustin Ferguson

One of the stranger subgenres of horror films to emerge recently is that involving sharks from outer space. Space Sharks is the latest addition, following Iron Sky and its sequel, Sky Sharks and Shark Side of the Moon, among others. Of none of them are nearly as good as the original The Outer Limits episode The Invisible Enemy, but that’s a whole different bucket of chum.

What concerns us now is the commercial spacecraft, The Clairvoyant, returning to Earth with a cargo of alien sea creatures and plant life. That includes what looks like a couple of small sharks with legs and feet. They have visions of generous research grants dancing in the heads of their scientific team. That consists of Dr. Johnson, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Hansen played by...

Fun Trailer for B-Movie Sequel 'Apex Predators 2' with Vernon Wells
Image
"Local experts believe it to be the work of a rogue shark." Wild Eye Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for another trashy B-movie shark horror comedy coming up this year - this one is called Apex Predators 2: The Spawning. Yes indeed, it's another direct-to-video sequel to the original direct-to-video bad spoof movie Apex Predators (from 2021). In this one, mutated flying Sharks wreak havoc along the beach during an annual volleyball tournament. Vernon Wells encounters horror from the heavens in the highly anticipated sequel to Apex Predators. Also starring Christopher Showerman, Brinke Stevens, Mel Novak, Dawna Lee Heising, and Jennifer Nangle. Ferguson's Apex Predators 2 is the "feverishly fun new horror film from the makers of Mega Ape and Space Sharks!" And it looks just as terrible as those ones, of course. You might just believe sharks really can fly after watching this movie.

Wallen who also made the supernatural thriller Agramon’s Gate in honor of those style films that inspired him such as The Exorcist and Poltergeist etc, now gives a nod towards another era and style of horror films with Ash and Bone leaning towards the early 2000’s such as Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and House of Wax.

With a celebrity stacked guest list, it’s easy to see why so much of Hollywood has set their sights on Wallen as a filmmaker as he keeps turning out hit films. The event will...

‘The Beast Beneath’ DVD Review
Image
Stars: Brinke Stevens, Mel Novak, D.T. Carney, Eric Prochnau, Alana Evans, Sheri Davis, Jennifer Nangle, Raymond Vinsik Williams, Geovonna Casanova, Ken May, Shawn C. Phillips | Written and Directed by Dustin Ferguson

Writer and director Dustin Ferguson (Zombi VIII: Urban Decay) is an incredibly prolific filmmaker with 110 directorial credits (so far) on IMDb, churning out dozens of films in a year be it under his name or his “Dark Infinity” moniker – which is the name under which he directed The Beast Beneath. This film also features a couple of now-regular performers that Ferguson works with: scream queen Brinke Stevens and Game of Death‘s Mel Novak.

The Beast Beneath sees an earthquake some 20 miles from San Diego awaken a prehistoric beast that starts to feed on the locals, with only the Sheriff ((D.T. Carney), scientist Charlene Brinkeman (Brinke Stevens) and her brother Aaron (Eric Prochnau) willing to stop it. Meanwhile,...

I’m not going to lie, I had absolutely no idea this film even existed, or was part of an unofficial offshoot of the Zombi series first started by Lucio Fulci. That film was an unofficial sequel to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead and had its own sequel, Zombi 3 some years later. And whilst the Italians released some unrelated films as Zombi 4 and 5, it would seem John (Sleepaway Camp superfan) Klyza’s Retrosploitation label has put out not one, not two, but Four “Zombi” films prior to this, which is part Eight of their series… Like I said, I had zero idea this film was even a thing until...

Ebola Rex vs Murder Hornets is directed and written by Dustin Ferguson, aka Dark Infinity, with digital effects by Mark Lunn.

Arachnado Trailer Unleashes Spider-Filled Tornadoes This Thanksgiving

Scs Entertainment has released the official trailer for Arachnado, an upcoming horror movie with a premise that's as bizarre as it sounds. Coming to VOD and DVD next month, the movie is directed by Dustin Ferguson the filmmaker behind such other bizarre horror titles as Los Angeles Shark Attack, Angry Asian Murder Hornets, and Ebola Rex. You would certainly expect for Arachnado to be just as insane with a title like that, and the trailer suggests that will certainly be the case. You can take a look at it below.

The cast of Arachnado includes Mel Novak (Bruce Lee's Game of Death), Deborah Dutch (Hard to Die), Brinke Stevens (Slumber Party Massacre), and Shawn C. Phillips (Ghost Shark). Other cast members include Sheri Davis (Angry Asian Murder Hornets), Jennifer Nangle (Malvolia: The Queen of Screams), Mike Ferguson (Death Squad), Cali June (Monster Force Zero), and Albie Robles (Stickman) as the voice of DJ Danny.

Ebola Rex Clip Has a Diseased Dinosaur Tearing Apart Los Angeles
Image
A new clip from Ebola Rex has been unleashed. In the tease, we learn that not even the military can take down the massive dino terrorizing the city. The movie comes from prolific director/writer Dustin Ferguson, who also delivered 5G Zombies and Angry Asian Murder Hornets earlier this year. Previous trailers focused on the plot of the movie, but here we get a look at a full scene, which should be more than enough to get fans of low budget cinema sucked in. Ebola Rex will be available September 1st on VOD and DVD from Scs Entertainment.

Ebola Rex starts during a "Dino Lives Matter" protest, when a captive Tyrannosaurus Rex is injected with the Ebola Virus by a crazed protester. The dinosaur escapes the lab to wreak havoc in Southern California, which is teased in the new clip and previous two trailers. It's up to an obsessed, renegade Soldier to stop it.

New Ebola Rex Trailer Turns Los Angeles Into JurasSick Park
Image
Last week we warned that the makers of Angry Asian Murder Hornets and 5G Zombies were up to something devious. It was later revealed that they will be closing out their summer 2020 trilogy of craziness with the ultimate dino-slasher Ebola Rex. Shot in the same amount of time it takes to get a bloodied Florida Man off the hood of your semi-truck, the full trailer for Ebola Rex has washed up out of the sewer. Get your mask on, slide into those rubber gloves, and prepare for the most Drive-In movie of a summer built on Drive-in movies.

During a "Dino Lives Matter" protest, a captive Tyrannosaurus Rex is injected with the Ebola Virus by a crazed protester and escapes a lab to wreck havoc in Southern California. It's up to an obsessed, renegade Soldier to stop it."

Exclusive: New images from ‘The Beast Beneath’ featuring Brinke Stevens & Mel Novak
Image
Check out these exclusive images from prolific filmmaker Dustin Ferguson’s (Angry Asian Murder Hornets) new made for television movie, The Beast Beneath, starring genre stars Brinke Stevens (Slumber Party Massacre) and Mel Novak (Bruce Lee’s Game Of Death).

The Beast Beneath is about a record Earthquake that rocks a small, resort town after a 2000 year old prehistoric beast is unleashed to feast on the local community. It’s up to Billy and his brilliant scientist sister Julie (Stevens) to crack the case and put a stop to the mayhem all while the cunning town Mayor George Reid (Novak) tries to cover up the monster’s bloody tracks. Said Ferguson:

I wanted to take this opportunity to create a throwback to the 1970s made-for-tv Creature Features I love so dearly. Films like ‘Rattlers’, ‘The Savage Bees’ and even the Drive-In hits ‘Bog’, and ‘Blood Beach’ served as big inspiration for this.

Ebola Rex Trailer: A Diseased Dinosaur Unleashes Maximum Carnage
Image
We have a brand new trailer for Ebola Rex. This is the latest creation from the folks at Scs Entertainment, who are able to churn out low budget B-movies at an alarmingly fast rate. These are the same folks behind recent, timely movies such as Angry Asian Murder Hornets and 5G Zombies. In this case, we have a dinosaur flick that is mirroring recent national protests, in addition to taking a page or two from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Only without the massive budget and bells and whistles that come with that kind of money.

The trailer opens up by throwing an awful lot of information our way at once. A dinosaur lives matter protest was taking place. That leads to a T-rex being injected with Ebola. Per the headline on the news broadcast, this has resulted in a lockdown of the city. We then get into the chaos, with...
