For the 80s horror fan who feels they have seen it all, Demonwarp has it all in one. This is .... The Trashy Horror Charlie Show For the 80s horror fan who feels they have seen it all, Demonwarp has it all in one. This is not your average Bigfoot/aliens/zombie movie.No sir, this one is weird!
The film opens with a guy dressed like an Amish person walking in a field spotting a UFO (offscreen) crash in the mountains (offscreen). Cut to a cabin in the woods, present day, and George Kennedy, the grizzled B-movie veteran and star of countless Brady Bunch-era TV shows, is playing board games with his teenage daughter. A large Bigfoot type creature crashes through the door, knocks George out, and carries off his daughter.
Some idiotic kids show up later for a weekend of sex, drugs, and monitoring paranormal activities in the area with a load of electronic surveillance equipment. One of the kids (actor Billy Jayne) played Mikey, Corin Nemec’s best bud on the short-lived teen sitcom Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. The Bigfoot stalks and kills the kids, who then turn into zombies later on in the movie.
The zombies, as well as the Bigfoot, steal various types of electronic equipment from people. The Bigfoot also likes to chase hikers and rip their head off, then throw it like he’s spiking a football. Then the alien conspiracy is uncovered.
The aliens, who crashed their UFO at the beginning of the movie, need to use the stolen radios and electronics for spare parts so they can fix their spaceship. But these aren’t just ordinary aliens, they are demons from outer space. Demonic rituals take place on their UFO, parked deep in the haunted woods and guarded by the Bigfoot creature.
Demonwarp is a laughably bad film, and plenty weird. It’s not weird in the schizo “acid-trip” way, more like a “stoned-on-lots-of-weed-and-xanax.” It’s like the directors and writers (there were probably several of them) forgot what was going on in the film from scene to scene, sometimes from one line of dialog to the next.
Whenever they were bored and wanted more action, yet another fantasy-horror subplot was added. The film started out with space aliens, then Bigfoot got thrown in the mix, along with some demons, a little gunplay, sex scenes, then a bunch of zombies show up and it turns into a zombie movie. The Bigfoot monster was designed by John Carl Buechler, the veteran effects artist who created better known monsters in films like Re-animator (1985), Ghoulies (1985), From Beyond (1986), and Demonic Toys (1992).
Buechler is quite the renaissance man when it comes to making horror movies, having also directed films such as Troll (1986), and Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988). He did gore effects for Halloween 4 and Halloween 6, Nightmare on Elm St.4, and Freddy’s Dead, so he has been involved in the three biggest franchises in horror movie history. This poor film does not have the bad-movie fan base that other 1980s absurdities has, probably due to how hard it is to come across a copy.
It was released direct-to-video by Vidmark Entertainment, a B-movie only VHS company that distributed tapes from 1984 to 1997. Vidmark brought renters their first glimpse of films like Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive (1992), Lucio Fulci’s The New York Ripper (1984), and the Leprechaun series. The company was eventually absorbed by media monster Lionsgate.
Naturally, they have not released Demonwarp to DVD. I would give them an A for effort at least, and the C stands for creativity. Or something.
This film is insanely enjoyable. I would put this film, along with Night Train To Terror and Nightmare Weekend, in my list of horror films that I suspect were secretly made by 13 year old boys. Posted by Charlie Counselman at 7:25 PM Sources: http://trashyhorror.blogspot.com/ .
STUDENT TRAVEL: HOPPING THE RAILS IN EUROPE Have a rudimentary itinerary to spit back to your parents and friends when they ask you what you'll be doing in Europe over the summer. Frankly, any more detailed plans will quickly become more restricting than helpful on your backpacking trip if you're Eurail-ing. Our month-long journey wound up taking the beautifully simple and opportunistic shape of a fish hook originating in northern Central Europe, reaching down and eastwards, and then arcing back up and west to hit almost every city we had been throwing around our dorm room table when we first started joking last Spring about doing Europe.
We did find ourselves in some form of a routine, even though it was the summer intercession months and our biggest decision was whether to spend an extra night in Copenhagen or save it for a longer stay in Berlin. In the early afternoon of the day we wanted to move on to the next city, we would walk with our packs to the nearest Internet café, get a schedule of trains departing in the direction we were headed, and find one leaving after 7pm. At this point we would forget about it for the next couple of hours while we visited the last few sites that we had not yet seen.
About 30 minutes prior to the train's departure, one of us would glance down to his watch and mention the time, at which point we would immediately start running in the direction of the train station. On average, we caught every train by a minute. We were proudest when the doors closed barely inches behind Tom's pack--the indication that we had truly seen the most we could of that particular city.
Of course, we weren't really as daring as it sounds. Our Eurail passes were good for any train (that is, within the parameters and rules of our Youth Pass, which altogether had the effect of a marvelous board game, see below), and it would often have just been a matter of waiting a few more hours for another train. Moreover, we discovered that a Eurail "day" actually starts at 7 p.m.
The night before, giving us a full 29 hours to get to each destination and leaving time for sleeping on trains, missing connections, and getting off to pay short visits to locations en route. There was that one train to Vienna, though. We were visiting the Great Synagogue in Prague and we decided we couldn't leave without also seeing the Hotel Imperial, which according to an advertisement had a magnificent dining room with an "unpretentious, 17th-century Hapsburg atmosphere and free donuts" (my own emphasis).
So of course we had to check it out before the train, which for some reason we thought was leaving from the station right down the block from the hotel. After a donut each we had to get sundaes. Then Tom decided that the chicken looked great.
Eating contently, we saw that we had 15 minutes until the train was scheduled to depart. We raced to the station, only to find that it was the wrong one. So instead of waiting two hours for the next train to Vienna, we put Austria on hold for a few days and went to Budapest first.
That turned out to be quite fortunate, because a few days later we hopped on a train for Vienna by way of Salzburg, where we got off for a few hours and hiked up a mountain to watch the sun rise. Donut binging was never such a minor problem. There is something uniquely liberating and inherently exciting about a Eurailpass.It is in a sense like a blank check, allowing you to literally pencil in the dates that you'd like to use it to go seemingly anywhere.
The first night we used the Pass, we immediately saw its potential and we decided to play, "How can we drag out our transit from Copenhagen to Berlin to maximize our time on the train and avoid having to find a place to stay for the night? "We slowly inched our way to Eastern Germany, taking commuter trains and ultimately winding up on an hour-long ride with German businessmen traveling from a Berlin suburb into the city at 8 a.m.(Note: We wound up happily sleeping the morning away at the nearest hostel. The night of travel was less relaxing than we had planned, consumed by card-playing, 3-a.m.
Walks around desolate German towns, and wine-drinking. )But our train trips were only rowdy when we wanted them to be (and when fellow passengers didn't mind us putting on our obnoxious and annoying tourist faces). Otherwise, European trains were remarkably quiet and comfortable, with a very "business" feel to them.
I had been accustomed to noisy, hardly cozy, last-century-state-of-the-art trains back home in the Tri-State. European trains, in contrast, are sleek, smooth, very high-tech and often very modern-looking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
