It’s summer and we’re all looking to beat the heat. Most people will take to an ocean or lake. Some will even enjoy the water on a boat. But if you think a boat ride is all fun and games, maybe you should reconsider. There’s a lot of danger lurking in those waters. Remember, there are safer ways to stay cool this summer. May we suggest a trip to an air conditioned theater? There you can beat the heat with a cold drink and see how truly dangerous a boat ride can be.

Cruel Jaws (1995)
I’m not very educated when it comes to mainstream films. I usually buy my DVDs at closeout stores (5 DVDs for 5 dollars)! So, when I read that Cruel Jaws actually includes stolen footage, music, dialogue, and storylines from other films, I was surprised. However, now that I’ve seen this film 4-5 times, it’s pretty obvious. But Horror Remix doesn’t think of Cruel Jaws as a rip-off, we prefer calling it ‘Greatest Hits.’

We don’t have the right to grandstand anyway. In fact, we are considering changing the Horror Remix bio to ‘heavily influenced by the remix groundbreaker, Cruel Jaws.’ Let’s face it, these guys were just trying to piece together an epic shark movie, legality be damned. Even though they utterly failed, give me Cruel Jaws over Jaws any day.

Barracuda (1978)
This movie took a hit because of its cheap marketing gimmick. Following the wake of very profitable underwater creature-features, Barracuda arrived with cool killer fish posters and trailers. Barracuda does deliver killer fish, but only for about 5 minutes. Honestly, it’s not even a horror film. So yeah, most people were disappointed.

Good news, though. This is a fun conspiracy movie, certainly pot-friendly in a X-Files meets Scooby Doo kinda way. And really, that’s the best thing to say about this movie. So get this straight; it’s not a horror film, there’s hardly any killer fish, no nudity, no gore, and only 2 boats. BUT… TRUST. This is a classic late 70s indie film, with a fun, original story.

With only two main features in BOAT SHOW, we’ve got plenty of goof-off time with puppet MCs, Cheesecake and Thunderclap. Plus boats, bikinis, monsters, slashers, more boats, and foreign shit. Now get in the boat!

I like heavy metal, but I need something to go with it. Although beer is my preferred compliment, a close second has to be horror films. If you have all three, that’s fantastic… BUT, as great as this combination is, there is one side effect; you’re going to hell.

Since you were young, adults have been telling you that rock music is corroding your soul and horror films have been bankrupting your morals. Well, Horror Remix has proof that they were right*. While we can’t be responsible for what happens to your soul, he can make sure you have fun before you are condemned to eternal damnation. That why we bring you Death Rock Part Two. This trash is just too awesome to be crammed into one show. Plus, the Horror Remix focus group has deemed the rock-horror genre to be a winning combo.

In BLACK ROSES (1988) director John Fasano (ROCK ‘N’ ROLL NIGHTMARE) proves that lightning can indeed strike twice, creating his second rock-horror film in as many years. SCREAM DREAM (1989) is a shot-on-video mess that looks absolutely terrible, but somehow keeps me coming back. Sometimes magic happens in filmmaking, even if it was shot with a VHS camcorder. But that’s just the main features. We’ve got almost a dozen shorts to feast on that will surely melt your face off.

It’s always possible there could be a Death Rock trilogy, but I’m pretty sure we’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel, leaving nothing else. Basically, the equivalent of Sunday afternoon garage sale shopping. There is stuff left, but nobody wants it (not even us)!

So, come enjoy BLACK ROSES, SCREAM DREAM, and tons of 70s and 80s shorts, oddities and your puppet MCs, Cheesecake and Thunderclap.

* Death Rock Part Two features murder, drugs, rock, sex, suicide, kidnapping, nazis, boobies, black magic, blasphemy, poo poo, STDs, violence, adult subject matter, and strong language.
