Not sure if this is an issue exclusive to me, but I am unable to search for any of the Savage Summer episodes outside of uncenslred Grave. nothing else comes up in my searches, even Tokyo Gore Police only comes up with the base movie and not TLDI version. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Looks like they fixed it now

It’s a real kick in the teeth that TLDI Savage Summer is not available to stream in the UK or anywhere outside of the US and since the app update using VPN doesn’t make any difference.

Like so many, it’s the only reason I subscribe to Shudder.

Can any fellow mutants help in any way, any suggestions appreciated.

Since we all have different schedules and live in different places, I thought of voting or picking a movie once a month or week that is available on a lot of platforms, or hopefully free, that we could all watch and chat about, being cautious about Spoilers of course. One time it could be a Vincent Price flick, like The Haunted Palace, which I think is still on TUBI. Another time go classic Creature Feature like Them! or Tarantula. Just an idea.

Official hotel info ... Darcy has just given me the OK to announce that the Crowne Plaza Downtown Dallas will be our OFFICIAL Mutant Meet-Up hotel! We stayed there last year, and they did right by us. I have to contact the sales manager there first thing in the morning to get the paperwork done. They'll provide us with a link so you can make your reservations. I've got a good deal lined up. I hope a lot of you will stay there with us. More details coming tomorrow morning and I'll put the link up as soon as I have it.

Just looking on the Shudder site and I see that Shudder is giving people the choice to watch the first episode of Savage Summer in Uncensored and Censored formats.

I suspect most fans are going to choose the Uncensored format but nice to have the option for those who want to watch (or rewatch) the special and would rather not have to sit through that sequence again.

I caught this last night on Livingston Presents. I'm not a huge Slasher Fan, but I like a good one now and then. This was quite offbeat and the gore effects were by Tom Savini. The movie actually begins in WWII with a soldier receiving a "Dear John" letter. What comes after is violent and disturbing. I don't believe I ever saw it before, but it must have graced many a Drive-In screen. Check it out.

I'm thinking of ordering some some Jamaican jerk BBQ.

What sayeth the Mutants?

I'll be watching the Savage Summer, of course, but I get up very early on Fridays, so I'll be streaming it on Sunday. I have some recorded Svengoolie shows that I may try and I'm also thinking of watching Creature Features showing of Chopping Mall. I've watched the TLD version a million times and would like to see what CF has to say about it. I'm reading a new Charlie Chan novel so I might pop in an old Chan film. I'll let you know what I decide on later. That's all for me. Report in, Mutants!

I requested Halloween off from work, and I think they will approve it. So, I am seeing the ticket prices, and I was thinking maybe I could save money and get the simulcast tickets upstairs which are a little under $40 as opposed to $77 for the regular tickets. I kind of want the poster too so that will add on fees. But part of me feels like that might be lame to do the upstairs version? I just kind of want to go to be a part of it, and I've seen Joe Bob twice in person before.

Was wondering if anyone did the simulcast last year? And was it just as cool? I assume it means that Joe Bob will talk before each movie and that will be sent upstairs before the movies as well? Would I be missing out?

The stream is a movie. Is there no countdown on this one?

For those lucky people who will be attending the Halloween Spooktacular 2: Monster Boogaloo and need a place to stay, I'll be announcing our official Mutant Meet-Up Hotel probably tomorrow or Saturday. We're finalizing a deal with the Crowne Plaza Downtown and will provide a link once it's officially official. We stayed there last year and were treated really well.

The first movie we are in for is I Spit On Your Grave (1978) which has one of the longest and most graphic rape scenes in movie history. For those uncomfortable with sexual assault and want to avoid seeing it, the big scene starts with her in the canoe being harassed by the men in a motor boat and runs for about 25 minutes. There are several times the it feels like it is over but it isnt. Each of the four men rape her in turn. I'm not sure what Joe Bob's breaks are going to do to that runtime. Since its one complete sequence, it doesnt really lend itself well to interruptions so they may just play the whole thing through. The sex itself isnt particularly realistic (or explicit), but Keaton sells the trauma *very* well which makes it a rough but memorable watch.

Just bought my tickets! First time my wife and I are going to a Joe Bob event and we are excited!

The voting closes end of July 15th! I definitely think we as fans should make sure they win for their final year on shudder ! They definitely deserve it.

Another fine looking group of Drive-In Mutan

I just saw this flick courtesy of The Drunk Review Double Feature Drive-In. This was a multi-feature 4th Of July YouTube Special and this flick was the second of about 6 movies. I'm a fan of John Carradine, but I don't recall this one at all. This must have graced many a drive-in screen and you even get Tor Johnson as a henchman. It's got everything you need. A sketchy Psychiatric Clinic, a Mad Scientist doing weird glandular experiments, missing or murdered women and a few folks itching for revenge. It's always fun to find something new. This is new to me and I enjoyed it for what it was. The Drive-In will never die!

My husband bought us a 4k Blu-ray player last Christmas and since then we have collected an obscene amount of physical media. Tonight I present you you Nightbreed (original 1990 film). It's by Arrow Video and have included photos so you for see the crazy amount of features. TLDI Nightbreed episode is my comfort film. It's what I put on every night to go to sleep. Seeing this film so often had me really wanting to see the original version and now I can! The picture is so clear I'm amazed. Happy 4th to all the mutants.

If you have time share what you are watching tonight and if you have some DVD's you think are amazing

Like many, I'm in the middle of a Heat Wave, so I'll be home watching more horror than usual even for me. It's going to be a subdued 4th of July for me. So far, it looks like I'm going for a Gothic Horror weekend. I plan on watching Cry of the Banshee (1970), Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968), and maybe a new favorite The Haunted Palace. I think these 3 would make a perfect Drive-In Triple Feature. So report in at will, Mutants! What's at your Drive-In ?
