Terrible Delights: Grindhouse Film Reviews

In this special episode we each induct two acting legends that have appeared in multiple Terrible Delights movie choices into our Hall of Fame. The honorees are Vic Diaz, Christopher George, Shelley Winters and Richard Jaeckel.

This week's pick is the wonderful 1977 Shaw Brothers King Kong rip-off Mighty Peking Man. Also known as Goliathon, a giant ape-like creature with a rubbery face is brought to Hong Kong from the Himalayas and exploited for profit. A rampage of mass destruction follows once it escapes.

This week's pick is the 1981 slasher Girls Nite Out. Ohio college students taking part in their school's annual late night scavenger hunt find themselves falling victim to a killer dressed like the school mascot.

This week's pick is the 1977 revenge movie Death Promise. Slumlords kill a martial artist's father and he promises to kill them all to death!

This week's pick is the 1975 film Cover Girl Models. Three fashion models kind of, sort of become involved in some espionage shenanigans in a roundabout way, barely. It's all very confusing. Vic Diaz is criminally underused.

This week's pick is the classic 1972 martial arts flick Five Fingers of Death aka King Boxer. As two martial arts schools prepare for a tournament, one master tries to ensure his son wins the title by hiring three samurais, who target the rival school's best fighter. To succeed, the other fighter has to defeat the samurais and his rival.

This week's pick is the the 1981 sci-fi/horror film Inseminoid. A crew of interplanetary archaeologists is threatened when an alien creature impregnates one of their members, causing her to turn homicidal and murder them one by one. Featuring a cast of unlikeable characters and loads of confusion.

This week's pick is the 1976 Jaws-on-land style movie Grizzly. An enormous grizzly bear develops a taste for human flesh and begins to terrorize a state park. It's now up to Mr. Cook a Hot Dog with Electricity himself, Christopher George, to put a stop to the beast's deadly rampage.

This week's pick is the sleazy 1977 film Hitch-Hike to Hell. Howard is a mild-mannered young man who drives a truck for a commercial laundry. He's also a mother-obsessed psycho who picks up young female hitchhikers, rapes them and kills them. As the bodies start piling up, the police finally begin to investigate.

This week's pick is the 1981 Tobe Hooper directed horror (not slasher) film the Funhouse. Four teenagers sneak into a sketchy carnival funhouse and plan to stay the night when they witness some bad doings by the owner and his deformed son. Can they escape before getting killed off within the funhouse walls? Special guest Mike Neel joins us.
