This is Blood Thirst. I have so many movies stacked up in my Amazon Prime list that I should probably just take the weekend and watch as many as I can to prune through them. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Looking for '80s cheese? (OK, it was released in 1990, but it's an '80s film at heart.) Amazon Prime has you covered with Demon Wind. Boobs, good make-up and prosthetic effects, and bad/forgettable everything else. It's no Evil Dead, but then you don't expect it to be.

Gallery of Horror, a very low-rent horror anthology from the '60s, got mentioned the other day, and yep, it's on Amazon Prime. The stories tend to have 'shocking' twist endings, which ain't that shocking. Basically it's like if Eerie Publications actually tried to make comics like Creepy that were less reliant on gore, but…

Amazon Prime! Someday I need to start watching more stuff there. Actually good movies, good junk, bad junk, classic TV shows. (Both Secret Agent Man and The Prisoner.) And I really just subscribe for the free shipping, so its all a bonus. It's pretty sweet. How many people here have Amazon Prime? Perhaps we…

Blood Beat is another Amazon Prime film, a regional (Wisconsin) slasher flick that's 80% horrible deathly slop and 20% batcrap insanity. The crazy stuff is almost worth sitting through the film for, but man, the pacing is just deadly. Still, you get a killer in full samurai armor--the availability of which no doubt inspiring…

Amazon Prime has your old school schlock covered as well. This is Monster Maker, 1944, with J. Carrol Naish. Have I ever seen this? Maybe not. Just plug in Bela Lugosi Prime in the Prime search engine and see how many titles come up. A lot, if not quite all, of his Poverty Row…

Now i'm just picking random obscure monster movies on Amazon Prime, but that's OK. Island Claws is hardly great, and to the regret of most, as with '50s sci-fi cheapies we don't get to see the monster until the end. But when we do...glorious giant physical prop! Yay! I apologize for the spoiler, but…

Again, I just want everyone to know Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake is on Amazon Prime. Wheeee! I don't know if it looks as good as it does on the spectacular DVD, but hey, its readily available and free (if you have Prime).

Amazon Prime has a lot of junk now, so in a minor way it can be like roving the shelves of a big video store back in the day, seeing a video box and saying, "What is this?" As we all know, these usually aren't hidden gems, but hey, it's something you've never even…
