Lovers of camp cinema and the Drive-in horror classics of the 1950s have a new reason to celebrate. In 2017, we're getting the sure to be classic I Was a Teenage Wereskunk. Today, we have the trailer for this dumpster diamond. And we have a poster that gleefully screams, 'Half man, half skunk, all stink!'

Beware: This trailer will scare the smell out of you! Neal McLaughlin directs I Was a Teenage Wereskunk as an homage to the works of John Waters. The premise is simple, it follows a teenager who transformers into the murderous wereskunk whenever he gets horny. His monstrous new appearance occurs shortly after getting sprayed in the face by an enchanted skunk.

The movie stars Scott Monahan, Shey Lyn Zanoti, and Charlie Farrell. You can purchase the film now off the film's official website or order it up on Amazon video-to-go. The trailer is really something...

Two bitter TV stars grow to giant proportions due to a scientific accident. They carry on their battle, destroying Hollywood. Naked. Maybe. That's the enticing premise behind the retro-throwback Giantess Attack. We have the first trailer. And it promises the best worst movie of 2017. Maybe.

In Giantess Attack, two unemployable actresses become real superheroes thanks to twin space fairies. This is a true homage to Ultraman, Electra Woman and all those happy 70's Saturday Mornings spent as a kid in front of the TV. This sci-fi throwback stars Tasha Tacosa, Rachel Riley, Christine Nguyen, Jed Rowen, Robert "Corpsy" Rhine and Jay Woelfel. The movie was successfully funded by Kickstarter earlier in the year.

Jeff Leroy directs Giantess Attack, though no screenwriting credits are given. We're not sure why or how that is possible after witnessing some off the great one-liners in the trailer, unless this is all improvised. Leroy is...

Time for a heaping helping of some good old fashioned Sasquatchploitation, kids! The trailer for director Benjamin Cooper's Bigfoot opus, Primitive, is here along with the skinny on how you can catch the flick in Vegas!

From the Press Release

Filmmaker Benjamin Cooper is trekking to Las Vegas to premiere his monster movie, Primitive, on day two of the inaugural Black October Art & Film Invasion taking place at The Sci-Fi Center.

In this horror tale Martin Blaine, a Hollywood effects artist who makes monsters for a living, must confront his own inner demon made flesh before it destroys everyone he comes in contact with. Horror legend Reggie Bannister of the popular Phantasm franchise plays Dr. William Stein, the hypnotist whose unorthodox therapy inadvertently conjures Martin’s Id, and effects wizard Tom Devlin (SyFy Channel's Face-off) created the creature effects.

"I contacted William Powell of The Sci-Fi Center with the...

Movie-making isn't all parading around with Angelina Jolie and accepting Academy Awards. In fact, director Benjamin Cooper is here to tell us that on the low budget end of filmmaking it's all about being shrewd, making good decisions about everything and playing to your strengths. And Cooper is hoping with all this, and a little luck, his film Primitive can turn a profit.

Primitive is a pure creature feature. It's got the beastie with the claws and teeth, as well as the bloody wounds caused by them. Judging by what we've seen, it doesn't look like Cooper holds back too much on the gore. Kudos for that, Benjamin.

Cooper has a sneak preview for his film scheduled for October 8 at the inaugural Black October Art and Film Invasion in Vegas, as well as a limited theatrical run in its hometown of San Luis Obispo beginning on October 20. In the release...

Directed by: Anthony Fankhauser

Starring: Jim Lewis, Matthew Temple, Brett A. Newton, Slyvia Panacione, Rachel Riley.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching anything put out by The Asylum, it’s that they make great comedies.

With parody after parody of whatever is making money at the box office, their films bare such a strong resemblance to their inspiration, that taking one seriously becomes a true test of strength. The latest creation, 8213: Gacy House is a combination of any found footage film, and any film documenting paranormal activity with a handheld camera. What is suppose to make 8213: Gacy House exciting however, is the involvement of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, a man responsible for killing 33 young boys before being sentenced to death. By taking a person and subject that many find interesting and incorporating it into a horror movie that banks on the recent surge...

Reggie Bannister has faced everything from hooded dwarves to killer vultures to really tall men and everything in-between. In his latest film titled Primitive, he's getting ready to face off with every cryptozoologist's worst nightmare -- a really pissed off Bigfoot!

In this horror tale Martin Blaine, a Hollywood effects artist who makes monsters for a living, must confront his own inner demon made flesh before it destroys everyone he comes in contact with. Bannister plays Dr. William Stein, the hypnotist whose unorthodox therapy inadvertently conjures Martin’s Id. Dr. Stein demonstrates an internal struggle with demons of his own such as symptoms of Ocd and agoraphobia. In the final act he overcomes his fears and returns to help Martin put the genie back in the bottle.

Director Benjamin Cooper said, "Like most horror fans, Reggie's working class hero from Phantasm is burned into my brain. Dr. Stein on the other hand is alternately quirky,...
