BLOOD, DEATH, AND VOODOO – AND AN AWARDS SHOW!!! IT’S ALL HERE IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE ON BETA MAX TV!!!
There’s vampires, zombies, witchcraft and prizes galore in this week’s Beta Max TV FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!
Join Lee Turner for homework turned deadly in CITY OF THE DEAD on After Hours Cinema. Lee presents Christopher Lee in a tale of a college student who comes to a small New England village to research witchcraft and finds strange happenings and supernatural people who place her life in danger! (1960)
It’s Spanish-made horror from Triv and Ritch and the gang in FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD on The Midnight Movie. In one of the first vampire movies made in Spain, a woman comes to the estate she inherited to find a strange man and several women there – all vampires! (1969)
It’s award season and Beta Max TV gets in on all the honor-giving with THE FLUCKLEFICK AWARDS on Beaucoup Askew’s Fashion Trashin. Diamond and Cinnamon are front and center on the red carpet for the annual Fluckleflick Awards where there are no losers (except for the occasional fashion faux pas).
Cleveland At Nite brings another half-movie and more with VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST. Morgan Ziva hosts half this 1974 blaxploitation about an ancient mummy getting revived on a luxury ocean liner. Plus accordion playing, jokes and loads of fun!
And it’s a case of where’d everybody go on the Mansion Of Mystery as they present LEGACY OF BLOOD. 3 money-hungry sisters and their husbands go to a spooky mansion for the reading of their uncle’s will and soon begin to be murdered by an unknown killer. (1971) Scarlet and CJ investigate when their friends start disappearing!
It;s murders and monsters and stuff they give awards for in the FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE on your home for B-movies… and red carpets (and we’re not asking how they got red!)! Beta Max TV!!!

SOME GREEN AND GOLD – AND A COP – FOR THE ST. PATRICK’S DAY FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE ON BETA MAX TV!!!
We’ve got leprechauns – good and bad, shamrocks, green stuff and a wild cop are getting together for St. Patrick’s Day om this week’s Beta Max TV FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!
Uncle Pete‘s got super cop Nico Giraldi in the 1976 Italian crime drama THE COP IN BLUE JEANS. An unorthodox Italian top undercover cop trying to bust a ring of purse snatchers discovers a much larger evil plot with a prominent American at the top. Uncle Pete has handcuff trouble.
Mistress Malicious searches for an elusive silver shamrock in the Mistress Peace Theatre presentation of BEHIND GREEN LIGHTS. A man blackmailing a woman whose father is running for election is found dead at police headquarters and the woman is a suspect – but then the body disappears! Mistress pursues green wine and some magic stuff!
Leprechauns do a little singing and dancing and cleaning and good deed-ing in the 1949 Noveltoon LEPRECHAUN’S GOLD. During the leprechaun’s annual gold washing time, one leprechaun tries to help a little girl whose family is about to lose their home to a villain foreclosing on their mortgage.
There’s green, suspense, and mystery in the Sherlock Holmes case THE WOMAN IN GREEN. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate when several women are found murdered and each victim has one finger severed off. Although the nefarious Prof. Moriarty was reported hanged, the clues indicate he might still be involved. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce star as Holmes and his right-hand man Dr. Watson (1945).
And leprechauns aren’t all about singing and dancing and pots of gold as we find in The Cinema Snob review of LEPRECHAUN 2. The Snob reviews the second in the long series of tales of a demonic leprechaun with the leprechaun appearing on his 2000th birthday to take a bride (and kill some people). (1994)
So add a little green and lots of fun to your television today with the St. Patrick’s Day FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE on your home for B-movies… and magic and mystery! Beta Max TV!!!

There’s foot stompin’ and gas-guzzlin’ in YONGARY, MONSTER FROM THE DEEP on Formerly Crappics. Freezer Mortis presents this 1967 film about a giant prehistoric gasoline-eating monster awakened by an earth in central Korea that goes on a rampage with seemingly no way to stop it!
It’s a bean-juice binge – and its aftermath – in SWEATY PALMS INSOMNIA BOMBS on Beaucoup Askew’s Fashion Trashin. Cinnamon and Diamond sample the wares of all of the hippest coffee shops in town and then have a hyper-caffeine fueled night out. Plus, REAL REAL FAKE MUSIC IV gives a peak at a must-have collection of musical gems!
It’s game time but this sure ain’t parcheesi in The Midnight Movie presentation of THE GAME. Triv and Ritch and the gang presents this disjointed 1984 gem about 3 rich guys who offer 9 people a million dollars for each one who can face and conquer their worst fears. And then bad things happen!
There’s a shadowy character and a spooky house on The Horror Of It All’s Silent Screams in THE BAT. In this 1926 thriller from the Marquis DeBlood, mystery writer rents a country estate that hides a cache of stolen money hidden by The Bat – a mysterious and sinister criminal whose activities have baffled the police. This film is credited as an inspiration for the creation of Batman.
And then it’s out to the field of dreams – or rather, nightmares – in CHILDREN OF THE CORN on The Cinema Snob. The Snob reviews the 1984 film based on a Stephen King story about a remote Nebraska town taken over by a cult of children who believe everyone over the age of 18 must be killed.
From corn to coffee, it’s a five course film feast in the FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE on your home for B-movies…and fun! Beta Max TV!!!
