Retro Blood 186: Blood Beach (1981)
Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as we kick off James’ May picks with a month dedicated to 1980s horror films that have Blood in the title—starting with the cult oddity Blood Beach (1981). Special shoutout to the listener who recommended this one!
We dive into:
First impressions of this beachside creature feature starring Rocky’s Burt Young, a shirted John Saxon, and yes, the screenwriter of Dune.
Our weekly history segment:
Wrestling: A stacked card from the Kiel Auditorium with André the Giant & Bruiser Brody vs. Ric Flair & Dick Murdoch.
Music: Joan Jett’s breakout solo album making waves.
Behind-the-scenes trivia: the strange murder of actor David Huffman, budget stories, and director Jeffrey Bloom’s vision.
Then it’s a full review of the sand-sucking madness—nerdy doctors, angry captains, romantic subplots, and a monster that never fully shows itself.
It’s Jaws meets Tremors with less water and more attitude.
