The worst part of living in a City of the Dead is how hard it is to find parking! Also the food usually sucks. But you can usually find a stiff drink, so maybe it’s not so bad. Don’t take my word for it, RiffTrax is bax with another VOD title, City of the Dead, featuring Christopher Lee in a totally not evil evil role. There is 1960s British stuff, pretend Americans, and similar elements to Psycho, which was released at almost the exact same time. (speaking of which, remember that Psycho II is also a RiffTrax VOD!)

Buy it at RiffTrax.com!

Visit the scenic City of the Dead! Just up the road from the Village of the Damned and a hop, skip and a jump away from the Municipality of the Mildly Bloated. This is vintage horror stuff. A sleepy northeastern town, still under the shadow of the witchcraft trials it once held, a town that’s now somehow completely forgotten by the world despite existing in the middle of New England in the 1960s. Get out your vintage horror bingo card and prepare to check off things like “elderly gas station attendant who warns people not to go up that road.” Yes, all your favorite cliches are here!

Speaking of vintage horror cliches: Christopher Lee! Before he was Saruman, before he was…*sigh*…Dooku, he was a professor of the occult with a penchant for sending pretty young female students off to dangerous, devil-worshipping towns. Might he turn out to be secretly evil? For your answer, we remind you again that this is Christopher Lee.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for a road trip to the City of the Dead! Because hey, it’s still gotta be better than Fort Worth.

RiffTrax returns in tiny form with the new VOD, Attack of the Puppet People! Darn those puppet people and their constant attacks! Where is Jim Henson when you need him? So Attack of the Puppet People is a classic B-movie I saw long ago as a tiny person myself, though I was a child and not an adult shrunken down by a madman. It’s pretty much a big ball of corn, and will make a hilarious RiffTrax, which means it’s going to get bumped up on my list of RiffTrax VODs I need to get around to seeing someday. If you have free time because you aren’t constantly working/learning programming/writing for your website, grab Attack of the Puppet People today from RiffTrax.com, and let us know how awesome it is!

When a dollmaker’s wife leaves him, which of the following does he do? A) Reflects inward on his failed marriage, seizes the opportunity for self-improvement, starts working out, embraces meditation, and emerges a better man. B) Starts putting away a twelve pack before noon every day, eating week old Chinese takeout, and getting really into English Premier League soccer as a means of ignoring his sorrows. C) Starts shrinking people down into a collection of miniature doll-people for no real reason.

If you guessed C, then congratulations, you’re clearly a madman bent on ill-fated schemes of varying degrees of lunacy. And no you can’t borrow our shrinking ray.

Attack of the Puppet People tells the story of such a madman, and the unfortunate woman who stumbles across his scheme while working as a secretary at his doll factory. That’s right, he makes dolls, and turns people into dolls, and dolls are probably found in a section of the toy store close to puppets, hence: Attack of the Puppet People. There is a puppet show in the movie, but it isn’t a result of the madman. It’s the result of another madman, it supposedly played on Broadway, and you will not believe your eyes when you see it.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Attack of the Puppet People, classic 60s B movie cheese that is almost as scary as that Roberto Benigni version of Pinocchio!

I see a new RiffTrax VOD is out and I’m like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) at the news! This feature is Sisters of Death, about a sorority initial that goes horribly wrong but also horribly right because it leads to accidental death and then revenge killing. Which means it’s a slasher movie where the protagonist is sort of justified, but not really, and why isn’t the sorority charged with anything? I smell cover up! Those are the people you need to gun down in dark alleys and then say quips to as the steam rises from their fresh wounds, the cold winter air biting at your cheeks. But all the revenge in the world will never bring her back…

I mean, I totally don’t revenge murder people in dark alleys and don’t support it. But I do support RiffTrax, and you should too by buying a copy or gifting a copy or planning to buy a copying in the not too distant future or playing Russian roulette with a copy, because what could go wrong?

A game of russian roulette at a sorority initiation goes tragically awry: one of the guns does not kill the pledge! The other one does. We gather that was supposed to happen. Sisters of Death; it’s right there in the sorority name after all. What were you expecting, a pimp and ho mixer with Delta house?

But it turns out that the father of the girl who dies is a total drama queen about his “daughter” being “murdered” and decides to go all Liam Neeson in Taken on her sorority sisters. Well, not exactly like Liam Neeson in Taken. He doesn’t so much kick butt as he does lure people to a luxury vacation rental where he provides them with free booze and a pool. And he doesn’t issue chilling phone threats about his set of skills as much as he plays the flute. But he has a spider! We think… It may have just been in the house already when he rented it.

When the girls start dropping one by one, they start to realize that maybe accepting money from a complete stranger to get in the car with two other complete strangers (one of whom has a complete distrust of light bulbs) for no specified reason may not have been a wise idea. It’s up to them to find out who’s behind this scheme (the dead girl’s father) and why he wants them all dead (because they killed his dead daughter.)

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill as they pledge Delta Gamma and get initiated into the Sisters of Death!
