AND WHAT ABOUT THE MOVIES YOU ASK?...
You can't have a "Movie Convention" without them, can you? ABSOLUTELY NOT! And we plan on showing plenty of films on both 16mm Film and Video at Cinema Wasteland - Many of which may be hosted by the Stars and Directors appearing as Guests at the show. Our evening film show is Free to all attendees and hotel guests.



Here are the movies we are showing on 16mm film:
 

 


Beyond%20Evil%20poster.jpg?t=1700257468
BEYOND EVIL (1980) Architect Larry Andrews (John Saxon) and his wife Barbara (Linda Day George) move into an old colonial mansion on a remote Southern island. Legend has it that the house is haunted by a woman that practiced black magic and returned from the grave to kill her philandering husband. And sure enough, soon after moving in, Barbara starts to act very strangely. It’s not long before Larry’s friends and associates start to die in mysterious circumstances, and he begins to think something just may be up with Barbara. Larry seeks help from Dr. Solomon (David Opatoshu), the local faith healer, who tells him that she’s been possessed by Alma (Janice Lynde), the previous owner and sorceress. The creepier this horror-turkey tries, the sillier it gets. And Barbara’s green, laser-blasting eyeballs just may invite honest laughter. Still, it’s truly 100 percent Wasteland all the way!



THE GOLDEN AGE OF COMEDY SHOWCASE: LAUREL AND HARDY - This time around, we’re focusing on the golden age comedy team that, in our opinion, will go down in history as having the best timing out of any comedy team you can name: Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. They both started in the silent age of film, and were teamed together by Hal Roach in 1926. They became a huge hit as a comedy team and easily transitioned into the era of sound, going from two-reel comedies to feature films in 1931. In the 1940s they left Roach and signed with Twentieth Century Fox for their final few years.

We will be celebrating a little slice of classic Laurel & Hardy comedy with a couple of the Shorts they did with Hal Roach as well as a Feature Film they made for Fox. 

Check everything out in the following order -

The%20Chimp%20poster_1.jpg?t=1708890432

THE CHIMP (1932) Instead of their back wages, the defunct circus that Oliver and Hardy have been working for pays them off with Ethel, the trained chimpanzee, and the flea circus attraction. Unfortunately, Ethel is also the name of their landlord’s wife. When they steal the chimp into their room, the jealous husband draws some unfortunate conclusions.


Dirty%20Work%20poster_1.jpg?t=1708890449

DIRTY WORK (1933) Stan and Ollie are chimney sweeps hired to by Professor Noodle to clean out the chimney at his house… and destroy the living room in the process. The professor has been working on a “rejuvenation formula”, and when our bumbling duo wind up in the professor’s lab, Stanley accidentally knocks Oliver into a vat of the formula.


A-Haunting%20We%20Will%20Go%20poster.jpg?t=1700257600
A-HAUNTING WE WILL GO (1942) Kicked out of town for vagrancy, Laurel and Hardy answer an ad to take a coffin (containing a very much alive gangster disguised as a corpse) to Dayton. On the train ride to Dayton, they encounter Dante the Magician and somehow wind up as assistants in his act. The gangsters show up looking for the coffin, which somehow ends up a prop in the show, and of course the usual Laurel and Hardy antics occur. The comedy isn’t quite as over-the-top as it was in most of the Hal Roach produced shorts and features, but this is far from the worst film they released.


Hush%2C%20Hust%20Charlotte%20poster.jpg?t=1700257705
HUSH… HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE (1964) Aged, wealthy Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) has lived as a recluse in her crumbling family plantation in Louisiana since her father Sam’s death thirty-six years earlier. Other than a short stint in London following the murder of her lover, John Mayhew (Bruce Dern), during one of her father’s legendary grand balls, Charlotte has pretty much spent her life on the plantation. She and John had planned to run off the night he was murdered. Nobody was ever convicted for his murder, but most people believe that Charlotte killed him. They also believe that she is just a crazy old woman that has hidden herself away. The only people who regularly see her is her hard-as-nails Housekeeper Velma (Agnes Moorehead), and her longtime friend and physician, Dr. Drew Bayliss (Joseph Cotten). One day, her younger cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland) arrives to help Charlotte clean out the plantation because the state has plans to run a highway through the property. Charlotte has no intention of giving up her family home, and it would seem that her mental state hits a sharp decline, but is Charlotte really the crazy old lady that people think she is, or is something a little more sinister happening here? This terrific horror-crime-mystery flick was director Robert Aldrich’s follow-up to his equally as good horror-thriller, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).


The%20Manitou%20poster.jpg?t=1700258108
THE MANITOU (1978) Karen Tandy (Susan Strasberg) heads to the doctor after the mysterious tumor growing on the back of her neck doubles in size in just three days. Doctors think it may actually be some sort of living creature growing inside the tumor and “bombard it with enough x-rays to see through Fort Knox.” Her friend, fortune teller and huckster Harry Erskine (Tony Curtis) dismisses it until one of his customers begins speaking in tongues and throws herself down a flight of stairs. When they try and remove the tumor, Karen’s surgeon attempts to cut off his own hand rather than excise the tumor and Harry knows things are not right. He seeks help from fellow fortune teller, Amanda Crusoe (Stella Stevens) and her husband in an attempt to figure out the cause of these weird supernatural events. Eventually they enlist the aid of Indian medicine man John Singing Rock (Michael Ansara) who figures out that a 400 year old Indian spirit known as a Manitou is attempting to be reborn more powerful than ever. Can our motley crew save Karen and prevent the vengeful spirit from causing Hell on Earth?… Find out in this enjoyable and often over-the-top horror film from director William Girdler.


Mask%20of%20Alexander%20Cross%20photo%201.jpg?t=1709923312

THE MASK OF ALEXANDER CROSS (1977) In this made-for-tv thriller, we find Alexander Cross (Paul Shenar), a ruthless and unscrupulous individual that is devoid of conscience or ethics and not above involving himself in activities that are, shall we say, not exactly legal. He’s a womanizer that doesn’t give much of a shit if they are married, single, divorced… Just as long as he can use them for something that benefits him, they are fair game. When his smarmy ways catch up with him and he’s killed, a group of people who have all been burned by Cross keep his death a secret and find Jim, a guy that looks just like him. They want Jim to take his place, get into his inner sanctum, and correct the wrongs that Cross has done when he was alive. However, there is one problem. One of Crosses’ quirks was that he was a health freak, teetotaler, and vegetarian. Jim however, is a heavy drinker and loves his red meat… The Mask of Alexander Cross is our made-for-tv movie pick of the show.


Nightmare%20poster.jpg?t=1709923347

NIGHTMARE (1956) Kevin McCarthy stars as Stan, a musician who wakes up one morning to find tangible evidence of something he thought he’d done in a dream - namely, that he killed a man in a strange house the night before! Things get rolling when Edward G. Robinson appears as the musician’s brother-in-law, who just happens to be a police detective. Stan really thinks that he may have committed a murder, and is tortured by the fact that has no recollection of doing anything except in his “nightmare” and reality butts up against evidence as we go along in this forgotten slice of film-noir that you won’t want to miss.


Pigmy%20Island%20poster_1.jpg?t=1708890494

PYGMY ISLAND (1950) After US Olympic swimming champ and five time gold medal winner, Johnny Weissmuller hung up the loin cloth after starring in a dozen Tarzan films, he put some pants on and starred as another comic strip character, Jungle Jim, in another 13 films (and 3 where he played the same character but had to use his own name…) Jungle Jim lived in the jungle with his monkey Tamba, acted as a guide since he knew the natives, and tended to do a whole lot of saving people, fighting ex Nazi’s and foiling the plots of many a bad guy. In PYGMY ISLAND, Jungle Jim is called on by the US Government to help find a missing WAC Army Captain Ann Kingsley after her dog tags are found among the remains of a pygmy native. The pygmy’s have developed a rope that won’t burn or break using native plants and it appears that the pygmy found dead with the dog tags was killed by a Bush Devil… Or, as we all know by now, evil white guys just playing dress up. As Jim leads the single most inept Army platoon ever through the jungle he will have to get through crocodiles, stampeding elephants, and an angry gorilla to save the day. And save the day he does indeed… In less than 70 minutes too! Schlocky B&W no budget action adventure cinema padded out with plenty of stock footage and silly monkey shines was never better.



Cartoons.jpg?t=1675542740

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON HOUR -Resident horror host, Son of Ghoul, will once again put together an hour’s worth of original cartoons to kick off Saturday morning. We give him free reign to screen any cartoons he’d like, so you never know what he’ll dig up. To give fans somewhere to go while waiting for the Vendor and Guest Room to open, cartoons kick off at 9:30am on Saturday mornings in MOVIE ROOM 1. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and stop in and see what’s in store this time around.


She-Creature%20poster.jpg?t=1709923430

THE SHE-CREATURE (1956) Using hypnosis, Dr. Carlo Lombardi (Chester Morris) claims that he can have his patients regress and recover memories from their past lives and prove that reincarnation actually exists. He also claims that the spirit of those past lives can be brought forth to take physical form… and a series of violent murders by a creature that seems to disappear into the sea suggests that Lombardi’s claims just may be true. Wonderfully fun 50s monster movie stuff from director Edward L. Cahn with another budget Paul Blaisdell creature… How can you go wrong?!


Three%20Stooges.jpg?t=1675542930
THE THREE STOOGES HOUR - It’s been a tradition since the very first Cinema Wasteland Show to screen Three Stooges shorts on Saturday morning. Resident horror host, Son of Ghoul, took over the job of sorting out which Stooge shorts to run when he mentioned that he owned every short on 16mm film. Stooge hour moved from early mornings to Noon on Saturday and the rest, as they say, is Wasteland history.



Intermission%20Time_1.jpg?t=1675542965

WASTELAND INTERMISSION REELS -Brand new intermission reels will once again screen between our Friday and Saturday night double features (and again on Sunday) between the 16mm film screenings at our next show. Chock full of assorted movie trailers, cartoons, old intermission and snack bar spots and public service announcements, these twenty minute reels will bring back memories of drive-in days gone by and are always a big hit with our attendees.




Here are the movies we are showing on DVD Projection:

Bad%20Dreams%20poster.jpg?t=1708890617

BAD DREAMS (1988) In the 70s, the members of the Unity Fields cult commit mass suicide when their leader Harris (Richard Lynch) sets the old house they are staying in on fire. The only survivor is the young girl, Cynthia (CW guest Jennifer Rubin) who slips into a coma for the next 13 years. She awakens to find herself in a mental institution and joins Dr. Alex Karmen’s (Bruce Abbott) group therapy sessions. It isn’t long before Cynthia starts to have vision of Harris trying to force her to commit suicide. When she refuses, she begins to see visions of Harris killing the other patients in the hospital.


Box%20Full%20of%20Spiders%20poster.jpeg?t=1709923498

A BOX FULL OF SPIDERS (2023) Emma decides not to let her friend Olivia stay alone in their creepy old dorm building over the holiday break. Their friend Jamie decides to join them over head home to her stuffy rich family when her ride falls through and they con the Perry security guy Earl into letting them stay in the dorm when it should be locked down. It seems that Earl has his own plans for the isolated girls. Meanwhile, the girls decide to see what happens if they fool around with a witchboard, and we all know what happens when you do that!


Frankenhooker%20poster.jpg?t=1708890665

FRANKENHOOKER (1990) CW Guest, James Lorinz, stars as “Jeffrey Franken” your typical well meaning, yet fumbling inventor. After he decapitates his girlfriend Elizabeth (CW guest Patty Mullen) with a supped up lawn mower, he becomes obsessed with restoring her. He invents a batch of “super crack” that causes the user to explode and murders a group of hookers with it in order to rebuild his girl. He uses all the best parts to reconstruct a new body and places his girls head on the torso, but things go from bad to worse real quick when all he manages to do is to unleash “Frankenhooker” on the world at large. A hilarious parody from writer/director Frank Henenlotter, with great performances from the cast.

THE FRIDAY NIGHT SHORT FILM BLOCK - 

We’ve got a trio of stand alone short films, as well as a couple of indie anthologies to offer up this time around, so plenty of short film action to catch this show.

Here are the stand alone shorts. Check the Weekend Schedule to see when the anthologies will be screening.

THE CASTLE OF BARON FINCH (2023) In 1863 Germany, Dr. Christopher Cushing finds himself searching for his wife. She was captured by the sadistic vampire, Baron Janos Finch, in this B&W homage to silent era horror classics.

AN UNEXPECTED GUEST FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER (2023) When a stranger knocks on your door on Christmas Day telling you that he just hit a deer and needs a tow truck, it may not be a good idea to believe him… unless of course you find him a blessing in disguise that is!

FLESH FIRE (2023) A trio of low-life’s rob Happy Jacks Liquor when one of them demand a can of “Flesh Fire” brand beer. He finds out the hard way that he should have left well enough alone. Meanwhile, womanizing scumbag, Ryan, prides himself on his “love ‘em and forget about ‘em” lifestyle… until he runs into Bridgett and seems to change his ways. Then, one evening Bridgett decides to surprise him one evening and sees him with another girl.


Werewold%20in%20Girls%20Dorm%20-%20poster.jpg?t=1705261038

Gunga Jim Presents WEREWOLF IN A GIRL’S DORMITORY (1961) Mary Smith (Mary McNeeran) a student in a school for female troublemakers, is blackmailing a teacher with love letters. On the same night that the new science teacher, Dr. Olcott, arrives, she is murdered. The detective in charge of the investigation attributes the crime to an animal while her roommate Pricilla believes it was Sir Alfred Whiteman, the teacher Mary was blackmailing. Over the next few days, other murders start to pile up around the school. It seems there is some sort of murderer… perhaps even a werewolf stalking the forest outside the girl’s dormitory in this Italian horror classic. Regular CW horror host, Gunga Jim, brings you Werewolf in a Girl’s Dormitory this time around. And stay tuned for a few announcements from ol’ Gunga, including his new paranormal podcast, new online ordering, and some show announcements that he will fill you in on during his show and all weekend long if you stop by his table in the Vendor Room.


Hardcore%20wrestling%20art.jpg?t=1708890840

THE HARDCORE WRESTLING HOUR - Always a popular way to kick off Saturday mornings, the original Hardcore Wrestling Hour expanded to a couple of hours several years back and moved to opening the show on Friday. This time around, we venture back to the days of Japanese death match wrestling of the 1990s when barbed wire ruled, and bloodshed filled the ring. Don’t miss it!


Hollywood%20Chainsaw%20Hookers.jpg?t=1708890889

HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS (1987) Private investigator Jack Chandler is searching for missing teen Samantha (Linnea Quigley) when he stumbles across Gunnar Hansen as the leader of an all female chainsaw cult headed up by Mercedes (Michelle Bauer). He discovers that Samantha has not only joined the cult, but the girls in the cult act like prostitutes in order to lure men to their deaths when they carve them up with chainsaws. One of director Fred Olen Ray’s most enjoyable and well known films is well worth the watch… or a second watch if you haven’t seen it in a while.


Joe%20Nosferatu.jpg?t=1708890933

JOE NOSFERATU: HOMELESS VAMPIRE (2004) Poor hapless blue bloodsucker, Joe Nosferatu, just can’t get any respect no matter how hard he tries. Long time CW horror host and AV guy, A. Ghastlee Ghoul shot Joe Nosferatu 20 years ago now, and gave CW promoter Ken big puppy dog eyes until he agreed to give it a 20th anniversary screening. If you’ve been a CW Show regular, then you’ll remember a lot of the TV horror hosts that used to regularly attend the CW Show haming it up throughout this mini-movie. You’ll find the anniversary screening of Joe Nosferatu closing out the Friday Night Short Film Block.


Joels%20Action%20Pack%20art_1.jpg?t=1708892663

THE JOEL WYNKOOP ACTION PACK (2018) Here we have an anthology that features four short films that reference characters that Joel Wynkoop played in past films. In HAMMER we find elite squad leader David Hammer seven years after he lost his crew to an enemy out to “make him suffer”. A suicidal Hammer is offered a million dollars to rescue his granddaughter from a ruthless crime lord. In NAKODA, we find Steve Nakoda (Lost Faith) still in action and hot on the trail of The Beasts, a biker gang that has kidnapped a little boy and is holding him for ransom in Evansville’s “Little Hollywood”. In BATTLE SUIT, we find Ryan Craig fired from the police force for what he believes was just doing his damn job. He winds up with an experimental battle suit that just arrives in the mail one day, and puts it to good use dealing out justice and cleaning up his town. Dr. Dan Hess just can’t seem to escape the madness of Mike Strauber (from Tim Ritter’s Truth or Dare series) after 35 years. When he heads to Sunnyvale for a simple job interview, his world is once again turned upside down as the spirit of Mike Strauber rears his ugly head once again. 


Lost%20Faith%20art.jpg?t=1708891017

LOST FAITH (1988) After appearing in a few of the original shot on video productions of the 1980s, Joel Wynkoop decided to give himself a larger role by making his own low budget movie. Shot in 1988, Lost Faith, is the story of Steve Nekoda, a sort of Chuck Norris kind-of-no-nonsense-guy whose wife is kidnapped by a shady “modeling agency” run by The Master, who actually just kidnaps women, enslaves them at his compound, and to sells them into a life of pornography and sin. When the cops tell Steve to just “go home and stay calm” he will hear none it. He’s a hot-headed take justice into is own hands guy after all, so he sets out save his wife and put an end to The Master and his gang. Chock full of clunky martial arts action, ripe for the picking dialogue, plenty of 80s SOV production acting, and a little bit of faith based pandering, Lost Faith is actually quite a bit of fun thanks to the fact that Joel is 100% committed to the role and the rest of the cast goes right along with him.


mummy%20monkey%20graphic_1.jpg?t=1709923616

The Mummy and The Monkey Present: THE KILLER SHREWS (1959) - This time around, local Cleveland area horror hosts, Janet Decay and Grimm Gory have reworked and updated the Halloween Hootenanny - the very first project they teamed up on back in 2014, and the show that launched The Mummy and Money Show - for its 10th Anniversary. It features the 50s Wasteland favorite, The Killer Shrews, and if we have to post a review of the film, you probably aren’t true Wastelanders since we’ve even dug up a 16mm film print of the cult B horror film to screen in the past. Viva les SHREWS!


murder%20in%20black%20satin%20po.jpeg?t=1708114693
MURDER IN BLACK SATIN (2023) When murder victims begin to show up around the city missing various body parts, recently widowed and down-on-his-luck homicide detective, Moe Saxon, investigates. He soon stumbles upon some sort of psycho-art murder spree in this horror thriller inspired by classic the Italian Gallo films.


Not%20of%20the%20Earth%20poster.jpg?t=1708891371

NOT OF THIS EARTH (1988) An alien vampire from an embattled world near destruction teleports to Earth to see if his race can survive on our planet. He finds that human blood is nourishing and that a steady stream of transfusions does the trick in keeping him alive. He hypnotizes a Doctor to provide the transfusions, and has the doctor’s nurse (Traci Lords in her “mainstream” film after almost destroying the adult film industry) move in to administer them. This typically fun sci-fi romp from director Jim Wynorski offers up plenty of B movie cheesecake too.


187%20Times%20art.jpg?t=1708891449

187 TIMES (2023) It’s a Joel D. Wynkoop double feature when we team up LOST FAITH, his first shot of video flick, with 187 TIMES, his latest film. Here we find Joel playing James Kirk, and employee of a big tech company working on time travel. After an accident releases “The Meanie Virus”, it mutates rapidly, and those infected start to kill off the human race at an alarming rate. Add in the fact that his wife is killed early as the virus begins to take hold, and James decides to do something about it. He “borrows” an experimental time suit from the corporation he works for and with the aid of his A.I. unit, AISTA, to help navigate, he attempts to save the world… and his wife. This wacky sci-fi romp speeds along with plenty of humor, action, and low budget effects-a-plenty. We’ll team up LOST FAITH and 187 TIMES on Saturday come showtime and have Joel out between films to do a talk with fans and introduce the second flick.

OUCH! 20 YEARS OF SEVERE INJURIES (2023) Has it really been 20 years since Amy Lynn Best and Mike Watt’s slasher movie spoof Severe injuries came out?… I guess we here at Cinema Wasteland really have been at this for a long time?… Anyway, here we have a loving look back on the filming and production with the original cast, crew, and fans of the film. Many of which have been attending the CW Show for too many years to count.


%20Side%20Effects%20Poster%20Art.jpg?t=1705261715

SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY (2023) With the world in the middle of a deadly pandemic, science denier, Glenn Rollins (James L. Edwards) finally gives in to the wishes of his wife Janelle (Tina Krause) to go and see the doctor (Sasha Graham) after he starts to feel like he getting sick. The doctor turns to an experimental vaccine as treatment for Glenn’s lingering illness, and much to the surprise of the doctor, Glenn, and his wife, the remedy immediately cures what alls him. Unfortunately for Glenn, he soon finds out that the the only thing more deadly than the virus… is the cure! Side Effects… is the first film producer / director J.R. Bookwalter has directed since 2003, and he came back with one enjoyable slice of horror that will remind you of some of the better B horror and sci-fi films of the late 60s and 70s. We certainly don’t want to give away much since we will hold the Premier Screening of SFMV on Saturday, April 6th and 7:30pm, but we can tell you that fellow CW guest Brinke Stevens steals a few scenes as the Rollins pervy neighbor, Mrs Jackson that you won’t want to miss.

SLICE (2024) Here we have an anthology of horror stories that include READY CASH, the story of Justin, a junkie that naturally owes his dealer Zeke money he doesn’t have. His mother is tapped out and he’s out of options, so he makes a call and submits to a weird ritual for the cash he needs. In INTO THE FOLD, we find Jessie joining the band Crime as their new bass player. Band leader Derek is a real control freak, and demands that the band members… well, except for himself of course, all get castrated. What choice will Jessie make? Fame, or his balls?… In PAYING UP, we get the real story of Justin the junkie and his debt to his dealer according to somebody who says the first story isn’t quite accurate.


Sorority%20Babes%20poster.jpg?t=1708891590

SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA (1988) A trio of frat guys sneak into the Tri-Delt sorority to watch the initiation of new pledges Taffy (Brinke Stevens) and Lisa (Michelle Bauer). After they’re caught, they wind up going with the new pledges to the local bowling alley to steal a trophy as part of their pledge and run into ill-mannered biker babe, Spider (Linnea Quigley). After they accidentally break the trophy, they release an imp that was imprisoned in the trophy who begins wreaking havoc with the teens. A popular B movie video rental back in the day, Sorority Babes… is still a load of fun all these years later.


swamp%20woman%20po.jpeg?t=1708114824
SWAMP WOMAN (2023) Dr. Angela Honeydew developed a serum that allows animals to combine genetically with their environment and surroundings. Villainous Dr. Robert Olsen (CW guest Joel D. Wynkoop) will stop at nothing to get his hands on the serum. He sends his goon, Larry, and his guys to steal it. In the process of roughing up Dr. Honeydew, they spill her serum over her and send her running into the nearby swamp. It isn’t long before she rises from the swamp born anew and looking to take back what is hers in this send-up of those sci-fi channel style films you’ll find all over cable and streaming channels.


terror%20firmer.jpg?t=1708114861
TERROR FIRMER (1999) A low budget film crew finds themselves the target of a sexually conflicted bomb bearing serial killer in Troma’s Terror Firmer. She worked on a ton of them, so we ask CW Guest Debbie Rochon which Troma movie was her favorite. She said she had a blast making Terror Firmer, so it’s her Troma pick of the show. And oddly enough, we hear at CW had the DVD sitting on the shelf for years and found it still sealed and unwatched, so it was an easy choice for us as well. It was fun. Gory, goofy, and enjoyable if we say so ourselves. We’ll have Debbie do a talk after the film, and with any luck, Lloyd Kaufman may even join her if we ask nicely.


This%20way%20to%20hell%20po.jpeg?t=1708114901
THIS WAY TO HELL (2023) When a mob hit backfires, hit-man Vincent is gut-shot before he can take out his intended target. His wife, Zaila and their child are also targeted, but before Zaila takes her last breath, she makes a deal with a demon and trades her soul for the opportunity to get revenge on everyone who contributed to the death of her family.
