Matt sails solo to Blood Island to view and review some primo drive-in fare from the Philippines of the late '60s/early '70s starring American actor John Ashley. In this episode, the true films in the series are reviewed: Brides of Blood, Mad Doctor of Blood Island, and Beast of Blood. Strap in for a psychotronic ride...and remember, it ain't the heat that's get ya, in the jungle...it's the humidity.
Before the BLOOD ISLAND episode, we take a quick look at 2 of the films that came before that are considered "non-canonical": TERROR IS A MAN ('59) and THE BLOOD DRINKERS ('64)

Special Christmas episode! Is it a Christmas themed snuff film or the Polonia Bros? It's the latter! FEEDERS 2: SLAY BELLS...alien puppets, terrible Casio X-mas music, flashbacks, and Santa!

Matt is joined by Joe & Zack Kruse to discuss hopping-vampire-protected heroin trafficking & the resurrected DEA agent-turned-android who stops it...oh, and topless ghosts.
Finally revealed! Here's why TCTT has been on hiatus since X-mas. The experiment that broke Matt's brain: watching a 3 Supermen movie a day...

Matt & Scott discuss the 1986 Hong Kong action-comedy LUCKY SEVEN. Think Little Rascals meet Goonies in Hong Kong.
Matt & Scott discuss Wisconsin's rich history of psycho-sexual samurai spirits & deer hunting. Beards, plaid, and mumbling abound...was this the start of Mumblecore?!

A Filipino-made horror-fantasy movie about a man who is chosen by his dead uncle to battle the forces of evil. He fights a being called "The Prince of Magic," who shoots rays from his hands, makes heads spin around & hypnotizes people. He finally faces Satan himself and engages him in a battle of magic.
Matt & Scott chat about a flick that should have been a '70s TV movie. It stars Tony Curtis & Susan Strasberg and features music by Lalo Schifrin. Directed by William "Abby" Girdler. 'A psychic's girlfriend finds out that a lump on her back is a growing reincarnation of a 400 year-old demonic Native American spirit.'
"A husband whose fanatical desire but inability to father children is driven to force his wife to undergo a dangerous experiment. This results in hatching a non-human life form in his wife's womb, and the birth of a multitude of 'things.'" If you say so! Matt & Scott drag neighbor Justin in to try to come to grips w/ seeing the Canadian THINGS from '89. This terrible film transcends time & space and must be seen.
TCTT wonder "Can a modern major studio film reviled by critics (3% approval on Rotten Tomatoes) be considered pyschotronic?" This films stars Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, & Al Pacino.
Matt & Scott talk about this everything-and-the-kitchen-sink direct-to-video sci-fi horror flick from 1988. It stars George Kennedy, Billy Jayne, & Harry from Harry & the Hendersons.
SFX, music, & stories to make yr Halloween spookier.
Exploitation master Lee Frost's 1st film is long on nudity & jokes and short on story, monsters, & funny. Bob Cresse stars (in drag) as Granny Good who runs a girls' school & bootlegging operation. Hilarity does NOT ensue.
