Tonight's picks: Kill-Dozer, The Suckling, Candy Snatchers, 31, The Descent, The Banana Splits, Someone's Watching Me, Street Trash, Prophecy, Burial Ground, Mausoleum, The Gate, Death Dream, Hell Night, and Dinosaurus.
Just wanna say Pete, thank you for keeping this series going! I'm not really a horror fan, just a lover of cult films and creature features in general, and I look forward to this show every single week. I know for a while you considered discontinuing this show since it's not as popular as the regular music videos but I'm glad you chose to keep it going, with two great regular guests to boot!
Glad "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" was mentioned. I remember when that debuted that one Halloween Night in the early 80's as a kid. I came in after trick or treating and it came on TV. It was awesome!!
Ah, Thanx for relinding me of «Street Trash», Pete! I had that on special import VHS back in the day. Haven’t seen it in 25 years at least. Gotta get a copy...
Oh, and the plot of the movie you mentioned, where the girl was buried underground and held for ransom, has actually happened in real life a few times. There was a rich NYC businessman who had that done to him in the early 70's, I think. That same plot was actually revisited on the TV soap opera The Young & The Restless back in the 80's, when the character of Lauren, who was supposed to be a "rock singer," was kidnapped by her obsessed manager Shawn, and was put into a similar predicament. There is also the excellent crime thriller film, A Lonely Place To Die, in which something similar happens also.
Prophecy was one of my favorites. It was one of the first movies I saw in the theater, too. Just showed it to my daughter. She liked it, but not as much as I do. Haven't seen Mausoleum. Will have to add that to my watch list.
Nice picks, the Gate didn't use stop motion for the little demons known as minions, they were guys in suits & they used altered perspective to make them appear small, only the master demon at the end & a little swinging stephen dorf were stop motion, a great horror flick for older kids.
Damn Pete, I can't believe you brought up Street Trash. It's a great flick. Another good one in that genre is Combat Shock. It's on TH-cam if you want to give it a look. Peace Btw, I remember Killdozer from when I was a kid and I think that is the reason some people hold it in high regard. I watched again recently and it isn't as good as I remember but still it's nostalgic.
Comments after the fact: Gonna watch The Suckling on Tubi. Thumbs up on pretty much all these choices. A bunch of them are on my shelf as well. Love the Black Manta shirt Rich. Chris do you have a master list or a website dedicated to the movies you've shown at your Film Festivals? I've been doing a biannual movie festival for my friends for years now. We are up to number 29. So as you can imagine I'm feeling like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel to find 8 movies for each fest. Once again LOVE THIS SHOW, love this Channel. Bought Spookies on Blu to replace my old French DVD. So keep suggesting the good stuff!
Always enjoy your videos , great stuff.This movie isnt really monster ect but do you remember a tv movie from the 90s maybe where the guy rocks into a small town but cant leave .
Great show! Descent is really engaging and well done and the Gate is a fun romp. There is also The Prophecy which is a good Christopher Walken movie not to confused with simply Prophecy which I must now see, really liked Chris’ story about the choice between it and Alien that day at the movies - when I saw Alien in the theater at age 14 it had a huge impact! I would gravitate toward Killdozer as it sounds so awesome on paper - a good/bad gem, also called killer/choke, but I don’t need to see it now, thanks! Must also see Street Trash and a few others mentioned. I’m a big fan of this awesome show, thank you Pete, Chris and Rich!
Hey Pete I Love All of Your Content. I am a huge movie fan but never been that big on horror. But, you guys have got me in to some good movies. Thank You. Have you ever thought about doing other genres? How bout some action films?
Alright - so, after watching this episode I went and watched Deadthdream for the very first time. Oh man, why is this the first time I've seen this?! I'm a big fan of Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things and Bob Clark, but this one managed to get past me. What a great, slow-burning movie. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Pete!
I don't have a problem with spending money. I have found some Monsters Den selections on Tubi, The Roku Channel, and Amazon Prime. Thanks for the videos guys
Really liked this episode!! There was a made for TV movie from 1972 called "Crawlspace" that was creepy! Would recommend "Tokyo Gore Police" and "Helldriver" for gore and old school cheesy effects!!
I recommend The Power (2021) which is on Shudder. A really good atmospheric old school spooky movie. A slow burner, but the creepiness is amplified but surprisingly you’re not cattle-prodded in to jumping like the Blumhouse movies.
I saw it at the local cinema when it came out with my two older brothers and my parents.I remember maybe only 1 other person in the theater. Remember the guy at the very end,laughing?My Dad said,"What was he laughing at ?"My brother said,"He was laughing because you paid to see it!"
Fun show Rich, Chris and Pete. Yeah I am old enough to remember you learned of new movies either by newspaper ads or the preview reel actually at the movies. Nice selections even with the stinkers.
Thanks to all three for another fun discussion of movies they recommend even when the recommendation is to avoid the movie. Continuing to enjoy episodes of The Monster’s Den so thanks for keeping this in the weekly SoT programming. Admittedly, when Chris discusses one of his ‘avoid this’ movies, it gets on a to-be-watched list just to see how bad a movie can be. And thanks for listing the movies, Pete.
Yes! Just what I need, some recommendations. I just watched Jesús Franco's Count Dracula. Meh, it was ok. Then I started The Satanic Rites Of Dracula, and I had to turn that stinker off within the first 10 minutes. Wow Killdozer. Foretold the real life story of that guy in Colorado who bought a bulldozer and then custom built it into a killdozer tank, and took out the town that was fucking with him. Don't Tread On Me. Dark Night Of The Scarecrow! I just recently rewatched this. It holds up, especially for a tv movie. I recently watched a made for tv trilogy, Dead Of Night, that was weird but ok. Not to be confused with the vampire flick Dead Of The Night. And I watched a made for tv quad, House Of The Dead, which was entertaining, but pretty cheesy too. Then I watched, and Chris will love this one, Vampire Ecstasy. Holy Smokes! The T&A and borderline porn is crazy in this one. This 70's flick would never get made today. John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns from Masters Of Horror is one of the only episodes of that series I can truly recommend.
The Killdozer movie is crap for sure but the original story by Theodore Sturgeon,written in 1942(!),is actually quite excellent! Great concept,not possessed by a meteor,but by an evil entity created by an ancient,highly advanced race,to possess the war machines of their enemies to use against them.Suspensful,totally engaging.
Dig "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark", is one of the best made for TV flicks ever. Yeah, and "Killdozer" sucks ass. I remember back in the 80s, there was a Death Metal band called Killdozer. But another good one from that Era, but I don't think it was a made for TV movie, is "Food Of The Gods". Excellent film.
I love Devil's Rejects. Great flick, super quotable, great soundtrack with two Terry Reid songs. Love it. Did not like House Of 1,000 Corpses at all though. Didn't like the amateurish Halloween either. Kinda dug Halloween 2 though. I've never seen 31. Witches Of Salem was not great either. Rob Zombie is pretty lucky to get paid for his tired schlock.
Question to comic book geezers "What do you guys think of the Invincible show?" If you haven't seen it already please do watch the first episode, it will blow you away!!!
I saw the Banana Splits movie on sci-fi and it was horrible. I couldn't even finish it. One of my faves as a kid though. Loved the six wheeled dune buggy.l
I watch The Descent and it was amazing I got the DVD.I just watch The Descent 2 and you guys was right it was not nearly as good as the first one and I will not be getting this one on DVD.
I'll have to give The Descent another chance. because when I saw it when it first came out, I hated it. I wanted to punch the one stupid broad in the face, Juno, who leads them into the unexplored cave system on purpose, and I hated her character, and I thought the creatures looked like Gollum. I remember Dinosaurus from when I was a kid. It's a corny movie, but I love it, and I bought it on DVD recently. I love all those old Saturday Matinee movies. They bring back a lot of fond memories.
Chris, T&A in horror movies now days is a thing of the past. Filmmakers will get crucified by the woke movement. Speaking of the The Banana Splits Movie, you should check out nicolas cage willy's wonderland, it's even worse. Also, S.D was not in the Gate sequel. Cheers🍻
Tonight's picks: Kill-Dozer, The Suckling, Candy Snatchers, 31, The Descent, The Banana Splits, Someone's Watching Me, Street Trash, Prophecy, Burial Ground, Mausoleum, The Gate, Death Dream, Hell Night, and Dinosaurus.
Great video, cool picks. Watched The Candy Snatchers recently, the Vinegar Syndrome edition is awesome.
Ps. Death Dream is awesome. Watching Hell Night tonight for the first time. It's really cool 🤟
Just wanna say Pete, thank you for keeping this series going!
I'm not really a horror fan, just a lover of cult films and creature features in general, and I look forward to this show every single week. I know for a while you considered discontinuing this show since it's not as popular as the regular music videos but I'm glad you chose to keep it going, with two great regular guests to boot!
'Dozed off' 😂 can't believe Alo's unintended pun went unnoticed!
😅
Race with the devil is great movie from 1976. So under rated. With warren oates, peter fonda, and hotlips.
Love it.
One of my all time favorites!!!!
Tremendous film
Hell's yeah! Lara "Angelique" Parker. Scared the F outta me as a kid!! "I don't believe no school bus on Sunday!"
Possibly my favorite ending to any 70s horror movie.
These are my favorite episodes -- just the co-captains talking about all of the things that they're watching. Super entertaining. Keep it up!
Glad "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" was mentioned. I remember when that debuted that one Halloween Night in the early 80's as a kid. I came in after trick or treating and it came on TV. It was awesome!!
Bubba didn't do it!
@@thebrood138 nope!! 😬
My favorite show from my favorite guests. You guy's are the best. Please keep doing the monsters den. Take care Pete. ✌
MY favorite day of the week! Time to learn at the horror tree.
The description of 1989's The Suckling is priceless!!!
Ah, Thanx for relinding me of «Street Trash», Pete! I had that on special import VHS back in the day. Haven’t seen it in 25 years at least. Gotta get a copy...
My favorite made-for-tv movie of all-time is "Night Stalker".
My favorite also. The series was great also. The Night Stalker movie and series would make a great Monsters Den discussion episode. How bout it Pete?
Totally agree. That first movie is great. The second is ok. I loved the show, too.
@@captainbeyond7469 Hell yes! Kolchak rules!
@@vitus33 Kolchak kicked some serious ass back in the seventies. lol 👊
Dan Curtis production. 🤘🤘

Love the Hell Night call....classic for the time.
70’s Made for TV Movie: Bad Ronald. Great movie.
Really cool episode!! Lot of interesting picks and good warnings 🙂
Last time I saw the Banana Splits was holding hands with the Partridge Family in a theme park.
Prophecy was one of my favorites. It was one of the first movies I saw in the theater, too. Just showed it to my daughter. She liked it, but not as much as I do. Haven't seen Mausoleum. Will have to add that to my watch list.
Nightmares (1983) is terrific. Four well-acted tales of terror...
A number of movies mentioned that I haven't seen. Thank you for this show👍
Nice picks, the Gate didn't use stop motion for the little demons known as minions, they were guys in suits & they used altered perspective to make them appear small, only the master demon at the end & a little swinging stephen dorf were stop motion, a great horror flick for older kids.
Street Trash, Burial Ground, Prophecy, Deathdream, Candy Snatchers --- thumbs up on those.
Saw Mausoleum at a theater when it came out.
Damn Pete, I can't believe you brought up Street Trash. It's a great flick. Another good one in that genre is Combat Shock. It's on TH-cam if you want to give it a look. Peace Btw, I remember Killdozer from when I was a kid and I think that is the reason some people hold it in high regard.

Pete.. where do you get all your T-shirts? Quite the collection.
Comments after the fact:
Gonna watch The Suckling on Tubi.

Love the Black Manta shirt Rich.

Thanks you guys, always love the Monster's Den.
Always enjoy your videos , great stuff.This movie isnt really monster ect but do you remember a tv movie from the 90s maybe where the guy rocks into a small town but cant leave .
Street Trash and Burial Ground are excellent picks!!!! Two of my faves for sure!

This might be my favorite show on the Channel. I love it
I don't have a problem with spending money. I have found some Monsters Den selections on Tubi, The Roku Channel, and Amazon Prime. Thanks for the videos guys
Pete, I saw Prophecy and Phantasm as a double feature. Was an awesome double bill.
phantasm is rad - i have the chrome ball boxset
@Catharsis jeez i didnt know that existed !!! just googled it - thanx ill go and get it lol
"Prophesy" was directed by John Frankenheimer (Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Seven Days in May (1964), etc.)
That film is never on TV for love or money. I'm still yet to see it.
A bulldozer possessed by a meteorite?! Sounds like the writer's brain was possessed by a lump of concrete.
Really liked this episode!! There was a made for TV movie from 1972 called "Crawlspace" that was creepy! Would recommend "Tokyo Gore Police" and "Helldriver" for gore and old school cheesy effects!!
I recommend The Power (2021) which is on Shudder.
A really good atmospheric old school spooky movie. A slow burner, but the creepiness is amplified but surprisingly you’re not cattle-prodded in to jumping like the Blumhouse movies.
I saw Killdozer on TV when I was 9 or 10, I remeber saying "look dad, Dan Tanna!" :D
Marvel Comics did a Killdozer comic.it was just a one shot thing..not a series
good shit mausoleum just wacted same cematary from a nightmare on elm st 1 was driving me crazy till I figured out were it was from
Have you guys seen the UK film 'Creep' with Sean Harris. Really disturbing bit like 1974 Rawmeat aka Death line.
Just watched the excellent Death Line Blu-ray the other night, one of the best British horror films of the '70s.
Single screen theaters were always so much bigger and impressive than modern multi-screen venues where the screen looks like a large tv screen.
The Suckling ......LMAO!!
Great show guys. Couple of suggestions for categories for you three dudes. Best Horror movie poster art and best Horror soundtracks. Again great show.
just watched mausoleum again after seeing around 35 years ago, tremendous fun & bobby bresee what a stunner!
I saw it at the local cinema when it came out with my two older brothers and my parents.I remember maybe only 1 other person in the theater.
Remember the guy at the very end,laughing?My Dad said,"What was he laughing at ?"My brother said,"He was laughing because you paid to see it!"
Candy Snatchers is awesome!!
Good evening guys @ Sea of Tranquility.
Fun show Rich, Chris and Pete. Yeah I am old enough to remember you learned of new movies either by newspaper ads or the preview reel actually at the movies. Nice selections even with the stinkers.
Thanks to all three for another fun discussion of movies they recommend even when the recommendation is to avoid the movie. Continuing to enjoy episodes of The Monster’s Den so thanks for keeping this in the weekly SoT programming. Admittedly, when Chris discusses one of his ‘avoid this’ movies, it gets on a to-be-watched list just to see how bad a movie can be. And thanks for listing the movies, Pete.
There is something oddly intoxicating about seeing what could possibly be the WORST film you've ever seen!!
@@seaoftranquilityprog Right you are, Pete, and Chris seems to pick some real choice candidates for that type of movie watching.
Oh,speaking of tv movies. Let's not forget Spielberg's "Duel".Perhaps the greatest tv movie of all?
Yes! Just what I need, some recommendations.
I just watched Jesús Franco's Count Dracula. Meh, it was ok. Then I started The Satanic Rites Of Dracula, and I had to turn that stinker off within the first 10 minutes.
Wow Killdozer. Foretold the real life story of that guy in Colorado who bought a bulldozer and then custom built it into a killdozer tank, and took out the town that was fucking with him. Don't Tread On Me.
Dark Night Of The Scarecrow! I just recently rewatched this. It holds up, especially for a tv movie.
I recently watched a made for tv trilogy, Dead Of Night, that was weird but ok. Not to be confused with the vampire flick Dead Of The Night. And I watched a made for tv quad, House Of The Dead, which was entertaining, but pretty cheesy too.
Then I watched, and Chris will love this one, Vampire Ecstasy. Holy Smokes! The T&A and borderline porn is crazy in this one. This 70's flick would never get made today.
John Carpenter's Cigarette Burns from Masters Of Horror is one of the only episodes of that series I can truly recommend.
Speaking of Blood Beach... Why hasn't that had an official release on the DVD or the blu-ray?
Pete could you list the movies discussed tonight?
yep, it's up top!
I bought into Kill Dozer. Never forgot it. I watched it with the same attention I give Beatle lyrics. Trying to figure out what am I watching here.
Another one that scared the crap outta me as a kid. Probably my earliest memory of watching something wierd... That and Night Gallery.
The Killdozer movie is crap for sure but the original story by Theodore Sturgeon,written in 1942(!),is actually quite excellent! Great concept,not possessed by a meteor,but by an evil entity created by an ancient,highly advanced race,to possess the war machines of their enemies to use against them.Suspensful,totally engaging.
Linda Blair is surprisingly short - I saw her at a convention some time ago and she looks as tall as she was in the Exoricist!
Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
Just got the blu-ray steelbook of that...for a future episode!
Been awhile since I've seen it but its so bad its good
Burial Ground,aka The Nights Of Terror is bizare
My favorite made for TV horror movie;Bad Ronald.
There's a band called Kill Dozer
Dig "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark", is one of the best made for TV flicks ever. Yeah, and "Killdozer" sucks ass. I remember back in the 80s, there was a Death Metal band called Killdozer. But another good one from that Era, but I don't think it was a made for TV movie, is "Food Of The Gods". Excellent film.
I think Dawn of the Dead was released as Zomi,in Europe
So that is how we ended up with Zombie 2 and Zombie 3
Zombi,not Zomi
I love Devil's Rejects. Great flick, super quotable, great soundtrack with two Terry Reid songs. Love it.
Did not like House Of 1,000 Corpses at all though. Didn't like the amateurish Halloween either. Kinda dug Halloween 2 though. I've never seen 31. Witches Of Salem was not great either. Rob Zombie is pretty lucky to get paid for his tired schlock.
I liked Witches of Salem cause it wasn't a typical Zombie movie. Didn't like the others much.
look, Pete had legs! and all this time I thought he was just a torso XD
Question to comic book geezers "What do you guys think of the Invincible show?" If you haven't seen it already please do watch the first episode, it will blow you away!!!
Have not seen it, but have heard good things
@@seaoftranquilityprog You got to watch the first episode, OMG it's unbelievable!!!
The Car is good and forgot that Terror Trilogy with Karen Black
Shout out to 80/90s Madison, WI band Killdozer!
Ps. Really enjoy all your offerings Pete and the gang!
I saw the Banana Splits movie on sci-fi and it was horrible. I couldn't even finish it.
One of my faves as a kid though. Loved the six wheeled dune buggy.l
I watch The Descent and it was amazing I got the DVD.I just watch The Descent 2 and you guys was right it was not nearly as good as the first one and I will not be getting this one on DVD.
Finally somebody that loves the descent. Great movie and sequel
The sequel was diarrhea.
@@twikirobot6897 I liked the way it continues directly from the first. I thought it was great imo
You mean there are people that DON'T like The Descent???
@@seaoftranquilityprog oh yes I get grief all the time when I recommend it as a great horror flick
Before they arrive at the caves and get down there, it's nothing special but once they descent it explodes into the great film it is.
I'll have to give The Descent another chance. because when I saw it when it first came out, I hated it. I wanted to punch the one stupid broad in the face, Juno, who leads them into the unexplored cave system on purpose, and I hated her character, and I thought the creatures looked like Gollum. I remember Dinosaurus from when I was a kid. It's a corny movie, but I love it, and I bought it on DVD recently. I love all those old Saturday Matinee movies. They bring back a lot of fond memories.
spelunking called potholing in UK....good movie....
There was a hard core band named Kildozer back in the 80s, as I recall they were more interesting than the movie but don’t quote me on that.
I wish I only had about 14 movies I haven't watched. Try 1,500.
Yup kill dozer was horrible even as a kid.
WITCHBOARD!!!! RIP TAWNY KITAEN
A curse. The struggle is real.
For me, The Descent is the best British Horror since The Wicker Man.
Holy Mountain
Ya think killdozer is bad - giant spider invasion is even worse
Chris, T&A in horror movies now days is a thing of the past. Filmmakers will get crucified by the woke movement. Speaking of the The Banana Splits Movie, you should check out nicolas cage willy's wonderland, it's even worse. Also, S.D was not in the Gate sequel. Cheers🍻
Bobbie Breese is one of the hottest woman of 80s.
Go into Odysee and click on Films.....lot of horrormovies!!!
Killdozer is terrible. Hoped would be great like Stephen Spielberg 'Dual' easily the best American Made for TV movie but is shite.
The Car was a great movie.
Lost Highway 1997 cool bizarre movie little over 2 hrs long
Never liked Rob Zombie movies
