With the Christmas holiday hitting later this week, Tuesday is looking to be a somewhat quiet day for horror and sci-fi home media releases. Scream Factory has put together a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray for The Vampire Lovers and Tempe Video is showing some love to a trio of overlooked micro-budget genre flicks from the 1990s: Kingdom of the Vampire, Zombie Cop, and Humanoids from Atlantis. Other releases for December 21st include Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and Roh.
Humanoids from Atlantis
Faced with a prolonged bitter Ohio winter in March 1992 and a distributor release date just weeks away, producer J.R. Bookwalter (“The Dead Next Door”) had no choice but to toss out the majority of his “Humanoids From Atlantis” screenplay and have the cast and crew make it up as they went along. The result is a complete cinematic abomination that has to be seen to be believed, but strangely...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have only two matches, which is usually not a good sign, but neither is “Bridge Was Out”. Think about it… Yosemite Sam might get a kick out of it…and a lumpy head. Okay, I’ve got school in the morning, so shut up, sit back and let me ruin this show for you, one gripe at a time. Also, I’m told this is the most read wrestling review on the site, so take that Reader’s Digest.
Match #1: Zenshi defeated El Hijo de La Park The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
The two tried to literally sweep the legs out from under one another, but El Hijo took command of the match with suicide dive to the outside and then crotched Zenshi on the steel barricade.

Ahhh, the late ’80s/early ’90s… the heyday of shot-on-video horror. Where anyone could pick up a camera, make a movie and get it into video stores; well at least in the Us. This was also the era that made household names out of the likes of Donald Farmer, Tim Ritter, The Polonia Brothers and Nik Wendelsdorf.
Hold on, hold on. Nik Wendelsdorf? He didn’t make films in that era did he? Well, no. But his debut feature Mr. Cleaver sure feels like it comes from that period in horror history!
The story is simple, much like that of the genre movies it aims to emulate – a group of punks, and a psychic (of course) break into a seemingly abandoned warehouse to...

Back for the attack with flicks up the crack!
The Dead Next Door: Ultimate Edition
• Release Date: Available Now on Blu-ray
• Written By: J.R. Bookwalter
• Directed By: J.R. Bookwalter
• Starring: Pete Ferry, Bogdan Pecic, Michael Grossi
As a young horror hound, I was inundated with stills and stories about an upcomin’ zombie bomb that was sure to make all of us Evil Dead-lovin’ psychos positively explode with gorish-glee! That flick, The Dead Next Door, never seemed to materialize. Well, flash forward four years, and ol’ Tdnd sails through a stormy sea of financial and production to reach its completion, with a gentle nudge from Sam Raimi’s wallet (Master Cylinder my arse), in 1989. Finally gore-mets were served their bloody buffet!
And what a smorgasbord it is, my fiends! We follow the adventures of a government sanctioned zombie kill squad in a walking-dead-ravaged apocalypse as they travel to Ohio...

With the demise of the drive-in theater rose the behemoth home video industry – and a torch was passed from one era of low-budget directors and producers to a new batch of underfunded fringe filmmakers. These fresh faces had new technology, and a new distribution game… but a similar reckless abandon and rebellious tenacity as their b-movie forefathers.
Fright fans were introduced to a new breed of horror movies - made for tens of thousands of dollars… or thousands of dollars… or a few hundred bucks and a borrowed video camera. Unpaid amateurs / quasi-professionals made up the bulk of most casts and crews - and often, the directors and producers were quite inexperienced themselves.
Join me for a visit to the heyday of the direct-to-video, micro-budget horror movie. We’ll explore this strange new cinema of the 80s and see how it evolved through the ‘90s. (Be sure to adjust tracking for best picture quality.

Scott Phillips is a man who has his hands in many hats. He directs, writes, produces and even edits films and then on top of that he occassionally finds the time to put out a book. He also has worked in the sound department, make-up, and even acts occassionally. Is there anything this man hasn't done?!? Scott Phillips mergered erotica and horror with The Stink of Flesh for Tempe Entertainment. He then followed that with Gimme Skelter, a film produced for under $5000! He also wrote Horrorvision and Cryptz for Full Moon Pictures. With this interview, we took a look back at his career and the many hats has worn. Here is what he had to say.
Who is Scott Phillips and what are you all about?
Well, I'm not the Scott Phillips who wrote The Ice Harvest, or the Scott Phillips who made Meadowoods (that guy needs a middle initial...
