Episode 3 - The Devils Hand
Release Date: 2009-10-03A man is haunted by visions of a hot blond, so he dumps his frumpy brunette girlfriend and joins a Satanic cult... Yeah, who hasn’t had this happen to them? It stars Neil Hamilton who is probably best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon on the 1960’s Batman TV show.
-
Episode 4 - Attack of the Giant Leeches
Release Date: 2009-10-10Radiation once again plays the role of monster maker and turns some happy little swamp leeches into monstrous beasts that feed on humans - and make basketball sized hickeys on their victims. It stars Yvette Vickers, who was probably best known as Playboy's Miss July 1959 - Because this film sure wasn't going to make her a household name.

Episode 5 - Tormented
Release Date: 2009-10-17This week we have a touching love story about a man who “accidentally” kills his ex girlfriend by throwing her off a lighthouse (points for originality), and is then haunted by her ghost. Richard Carlson plays a Jazz pianist that can’t seem to stop killing people to keep his crimes quiet. The scorching hot Juli Reding stars as Vi, the ghost with the 40-23-35 curves. Dig up a date, light a few candles and get a bottle of your favorite bubbly. It’s about the closest we’re ever going to get to showing a chick-flick.
-
Episode 6 - Nosferatu
Release Date: 2009-10-24It's the 1922 silent classic that needs no introduction, Nosferatu! And because this is a 4-star film, you’ll get points with all your snooty, arts-fartsy friends, and get some "culture" while being entertained by fart jokes! Win-win, baby!
-
Episode 7 - Night of the Living Dead
Release Date: 2009-10-31Arguably, the greatest horror film ever made, Night of The Living Dead is the iconic, all-you-can-eat zombie munch-fest that all that followed wish they could measure up to. Just remember, the cellar is not always the safest place.
-
Episode 8 - Dementia 13
Release Date: 2009-11-07This 1963 Psycho-wanna-be is loaded with senseless killing and a plot that makes even less sense. It's hard to believe that Francis Ford Coppola directed this movie, but easy to believe Roger Corman produced it.
-
Episode 9 - Monster from a Prehistoric Planet
Release Date: 2009-11-14Also known as "Giant Beast Gappa" and "Gappa the Triphibian Monsters" and "The Monster Movie What Bankrupted The Movie Studio."

-
Episode 10 - The Monster Maker

-
Episode 11 - Attack of The Eye Creatures
Release Date: 2009-11-28Avert your eyes, but don't lose focus! Necking teenagers, perverted military voyeurs, incompetent cops, bizarre pajamas and light-sensitive monsters with big zippers make this film a spectacle to behold.
-
Episode 12 - The Giant Gila Monster
Release Date: 2009-12-05This is one those films where the title pretty much tells you all you need to know. An oversized reptile develops a taste for human flesh and attacks a barn dance full of teenagers. Can a teenage musician/hot rod mechanic stop the monster from eating everyone in town? Can he put down that stupid ukulele first?
-
Episode 13 - The Screaming Skull
Release Date: 2009-12-19Happy newlyweds Eric and Jenni Whitlock retire to his desolate mansion, where Eric's first wife Marianne died in a "mysterious accident" (yeah, right). Jenni, who has a history of mental illness, begins to see strange things. Is she going bonkers again, or is there something more sinister going on? This film could possibly scare you to death! If it does, the filmmakers will pay for your funeral. And Boney Bob schemes to cash in on this promise!
-
Episode 14 - The Legend of Bigfoot
Release Date: 2009-12-26Having trouble sleeping? Well, there’s no need to go to the medicine cabinet looking for sleeping pills. Just turn on 1976’s "The Legend of Bigfoot" and you’ll be sawing logs in no time! Will you be a believer in the Bigfoot myth by the end of the film? This film answers that question with a resounding "Maybe".
