🩸 Retro Blood 188: Blood Lake (1987) 🩸

Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as Blood Month continues with one of the most infamous shot-on-video oddities of the 1980s—Blood Lake!

This week, the boys wade through murky waters to discuss this low-budget VHS cult mess, tackling everything from bad acting and awkward pacing to a killer named Jeff and a very tan kid named Tony. Is it so bad it’s good—or just bad?

🎸 Weekly History Segment (January 1987):

  • Wrestling: Hulk Hogan defends the WWF title against Paul Orndorff on Saturday Night’s Main Event.

  • Metal: Metallica returns to Denmark after a canceled tour, now joined by new bassist Jason Newsted.

    🎬 Behind the Scenes:

    • Director Tim Boggs and actor Doug Barry (Mike) putting himself over in every scene.

    • The mysterious Tiny Frazier as Jeff the Killer.

    • How this movie got made, shot, and found its way onto VHS shelves.

      🚤 Expect:

      — Endless water skiing
      — Teens sitting, standing, then sitting again
      — The return of “Negative”
      — And yes… the original Beavis & Butt-Head energy

      It’s one of the roughest watches in Retro Blood history—so of course we had to cover it.
