In Romero’s Diary Of The Dead, their was a scene in which the protagonists come across an Amish Community. They meet a guy called Samuel - A badass Amish mute, who’s managed to survive the zombie apocalypse with no guns or technology. Just random improvised weapons & dynamite. Gimmie that minor characters spin-off movie!
The teenagers on the roadside making out from Manos ;hands of fate meet the cop from Night of the ghouls /plan 9 from outer space /bride of the mobster.... The story practically writes itself .
I have a similar Manos follow-up idea. The two women who arrive at the Master's place are actually Las Luchadoras (from Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Mummy, etc.) Undercover, they traveled across the border to El Paso because they got wind of strange mystical activity, and they arrived to kick ass and take bad movies of Texas scenery. And they're all out of film.
I’ll give this movie one thing: It’s one of the few zombie movies to actually acknowledge the existence of zombie movies. In most of the films I’ve seen, no one has ever heard of a “zombie”!
I actually saw this at the cinema, right around Halloween in 2013. The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX showed it as part of their Terror Tuesday programming. The host of the event even handed us digital download codes for a rip of the soundtrack. It was a lot of fun with a crowd who really got into it.
While FleshEater is kind of weaksauce, I have to applaud Hinzman for trying at least. He was one of those guys that embraced his place in horror movie history. He loved to lead the zombie walk down in Orlando, Florida during the opening of the Spooky Empire convention. A super nice guy in person. He's missed.
Does Clovis the cat count as a minor character in Stephen King's "Sleepwalkers" movie? I mean he gave literally the best acting performance in the entire film. (Not even joking.) Well, yeah; I'd watch a film starring him. Again, literally the best acting in that film.
Bill Hinzman in Night of the Living Dead is my favorite zombie of all time, so getting to see him starring in his own movies is already enough motivation for me to track this movie down
Well I'll say this much, at least it's far superior to the abominable 30th Anniversary VHS edition of NOTLD where Hinzman reprised his role as the Graveyard Ghoul - playing the same role 30 years later in added scenes that added nothing of value and proved that all the makeup in the world couldn't hide the fact that he aged three decades! And I haven't even mentioned that Romero was NOT even involved in the making of that version and hated it.
I want a film of Jones the Cat from ALIEN just roaming about and happening upon people just as they're about to bite the big one. By getting bit by a big one.
I guess I can't blame Bill Hinzman for wanting to cash in on his iconic appearance. After all, it's not like he was getting a royalty check from NOTLD. As for side characters that could get a spin-off movie, I actually have three in mind: 1. Delbert (John Goodman) from "Arachnophobia" (1990). MIght be fun to see him battle an insect threat. 2. Dr. Loomis from "Halloween". A prequel set years before Michael's escape, Dr. Loomis is called to help the authorities track a serial killer. 3. Philppe Roache (Jean Reno) from "Godzilla" (1998). He was the coolest guy in the film and he could be sent on another "monster containment" mission.
Weird that Bill Hinzman would produce a film so reminiscent of Night of the Living Dead but prove he was completely unaware of the original's subtext despite starring in it. But gotta admit he makes a great zombie.
That's nothing compared to John Russo, original co-writer and co-owner of the Night of the Living Dead franchise. He's unaware of the original's subtext despite having written it.
Imagine a world with a successful movie franchise starring "Michael", Peter Bark's scene-stealing Oedipal oddball from the amazing Burial Ground (1981). Like an amalgamation of Dellamorte Dellamore and Evil Dead, but as well as fighting zombies he also repeatedly tries to get off with his mum.
Hello, if you're a big Peter Bark enthusiast ( Pietro Barzocchini ) you might well enjoy a small aside with him as a dancer for Gena Gas : watch?v=fZDpwHqaDFI
Last movie he shoots one survivor he mistakes for a zombie, this movie he shoots two survivors he mistakes for a zombie. Guess they could have given him a machine gun for a third zombie movie. Love your video.
Despite how much of a shameless cash grab it seems to be with the tenuous link to Night of the Living Dead, it’s still nowhere near as insulting as Night of the Living Dead 30th Anniversary Edition and Children of the Living Dead
I saw it on Tubi a year or two ago (it's still there), and while I didn't love it, I didn't hate it either. It's one of those movies that's mildly entertaining if you don't get your hopes up too high. I'll probably watch it again someday.
Michael Ripper’s Hammer innkeepers could host an anthology. Paul from Dracula has Risen from the Grave could turn professional vampire hunter with “the priest”
FleshEater is very self aware of what it is: a low budget zombie film with lots of nudity (full frontal!) and gore. Its a lot of fun and available uncut on RUclips.
This reminds me a lot of the work of the late Don Dohler, of THE ALIEN FACTOR and THE GALAXY INVADER. The same sort of lackadaisical ineptitude, coupled with a delusion of talent. As far as a minor character from horror, how's 'bout a "Kolchak"-style tv series with Kelso the Cop (BRIDE OF THE MONSTER,etc) as the star?
Worse than Night of the Living Dead obviously but, ironically, better than the Night of the Living Dead 30th anniversary movie featuring the "origin" of Bill Hinzman's zombie. FleshEater versus Night of the Living Dead but with the 30th's score as created by "some guy"? ... I don't know.
I kind of feel sorry for Hinzmann, being such an icon and trying to make his own film and putting this dreck out. As for minor characters that can support their own film: the cameraman from the first Scream (1996). Just think about it: when he's on the job he's just another victim of Gail's ambition, but when nobody is looking he's casually saving the day from international criminals and turning down dates with the hottest supermodels...only for his life to be tragically cut short by Ghost Face.
Were they kidding with that News Commentator exposition??? Even for an 8os no-budget Horror Flic, that was embarrassing! & in answer to your question... Ernie from 'Return of the Living Dead' could have supported his own sequel!
As for background characters in horror movies that could sustain their own films, I nominate the Viking that brought back the werewolf in Viking Wolf. I didn't watch a movie called Viking Wolf to watch a mildly atypical modern-day werewolf movie where the Viking backstory never affected the plot.
I don't know if this would qualify, but he was in an independent Canadian film called Suck (seriously). It's a vampire comedy, and while Cooper isn't the star he does play a pivotal role. I have it on DVD, and I absolutely love it. I'm not sure it's on a streaming service somewhere, though.
@@euansmith3699 No, the apartment in the basement. You know the one right next door to that other apartment where everyone who;s live ther either dies strangely or goes insane.
Wow! I had just looked up James Burke of Connections fame and after watching your review this S. William Hinzman and they were both born in 1936, two months and two days apart. I don’t believe James Burke ever did a zombie movie, though. But let’s not hold that against him.
Believe it or not, George Romero refused to talk to Bill Hinzman after the release of this film, which I think was on DVD, a straight-to-home low budget film. Romero would ignore Hinzman at monster film conventions and purposely had his table situated far away from Hinzman's table where they signed autographs on photos they sold at the tables. I can't blame Hinzman for wanting to exploit his zombie character from Night of the Living Dead since he was that film's main living dead cadaver and was seen in countless scenes and camera angles. But Hinzman did not make a dime from the film, despite his contribution to the movie's success. So many years later, here comes Flesheater. Too bad Hammer Films didn't use Hinzman in one or two of their horror films. He might have made a good Frankenstein monster for Peter Cushing.
Granted I've never been chased by zombies/werewolves/vampires, but I will never understand why the "characters" in these films feel compelled to mention that they think it was a monster that attacked them. Just say some madman attacked/killed your friend! It makes you sound like less of a nutcase. And no, saying, "You're not going to believe this, but..." doesn't make it any more plausible.
Minor characters from other movies who could support their own spin offs? Hmmm. What about that young cop from Ed Wood's movies. I forget his name, appeared in at least 3 of them. Plan 9 had him scratching his head with the barrel of his gun as I recall. He'd got to be worth a movie.
Gore movies bore me. That's why there won't be any gore at all in the new film we're planning called "Screams Of The Cursed Non Gore Teenaged Zombies".
Maybe he really is s zombie which then, by zombie standards, makes this a pretty big achievement since zombies apparently spend thr majority of their time searching for brains
"You've got to be really dedicated to gore and nudity to watch this."
Funny how I had no interest in watching this right up until that line.
“When in doubt, whip them out.”
Ah, the strategy of many a cheap schlocky film.
I'd say Renfield from Dracula, but I can't imagine making a whole movie about him...
In Romero’s Diary Of The Dead, their was a scene in which the protagonists come across an Amish Community. They meet a guy called Samuel - A badass Amish mute, who’s managed to survive the zombie apocalypse with no guns or technology. Just random improvised weapons & dynamite.
Gimmie that minor characters spin-off movie!
"their"?
@@nedludd7622
"there" refers to a place, "their" means belonging to 🖕🏽☺️
Credit to his embalmers, Hinsman did age well.
That's for sure, great job!!!🙏👌👻❣️
-Don't shoot! It's my daughter!
-SHOOT!
That scene is priceless.
Sounded like it came from behind the camera too which makes me even happier.

That cop was Officer Paul Kelton. He really did deserve his own starring turn.

The Dead Don't Die did. Only Chloe Sevigny's character seems to be taking the situation seriously. Everyone else knows they're in a zombie film.

7:20 So wait... zombie movies are common in their universe? That's the equivalent of us being trapped on a Marvel style superhero story right now.
And that's why dracula never drinks. Wine.
Bill Hinzman in Night of the Living Dead is my favorite zombie of all time, so getting to see him starring in his own movies is already enough motivation for me to track this movie down
This honestly looks like you could shoot this for about $500 and a lot of voluteers. I need a Drunkula t-shirt.
Depends on how much plaid and once used discount costumes you can find at the local thrift donation store 😂
That's how THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT started, and went on
to break the box office.

the line, "was this a godzilla type monster or a frankenstein type monster?" is killing me
I want a film of Jones the Cat from ALIEN just roaming about and happening upon people just as they're about to bite the big one.
By getting bit by a big one.
that would be interesting... an *Alien* film just from the perspective of the pet.
I guess I can't blame Bill Hinzman for wanting to cash in on his iconic appearance. After all, it's not like he was getting a royalty check from NOTLD.

Obviously, he was in Night for the money.

Your videos are amazing
This is very kind. Thank you.
With this and Russo's movies,it proves all the talent in the group that made Night of the Living Dead resided in ol' George

"Drunkula" Best. Joke. Ever.
I want "Torgo" from "Manos: The Hands of Fate" to get his own movie. 😁
Yes! TORGO -The Origin Story
Unfortunately, it couldn't be done with the original actor. 😪
Una O'Connor is Mrs Hall, Monster Hunter. The final desperate roll of the dice for the Universal Dark Universe.
My thoughts exactly!
@ 4:20: Europeans are fascinated by red plastic cups in American movies.
Regarding the question at the end: Kelton the Cop was my favorite Wood character. I think he appeared in three of Eddie's epics.
One critic described Paul Marco as 'the Gielgud of bad movies'!
The zombie guy kept his age well, must be the embalming fluid. Also, I don't know what's scarier, the zombies or all the stone washed denim.
Would love for you to do "Between Two Worlds". Not exactly a monster movie, but it is all about the dead, and undead, and the afterlife.
Night of the Living Dull
I went to college in Edinboro PA with that little girl there. Well she was much older by then.
Dracula: "I do not drink ... wine."
Drunkula: "Agh, you're no fun anymore. Make mine a Bloody Mary!"
will always know it as Zombienosh and as a kid always thought of it was a spin-off movie in the same universe of NOTLD
Thanks for reviewing this one! Sorry you didn't like it all that much. This is personally one of my favorite zombie flicks!
Last movie he shoots one survivor he mistakes for a zombie, this movie he shoots two survivors he mistakes for a zombie. Guess they could have given him a machine gun for a third zombie movie. Love your video.
Patrick Troughton: The Adventures of Clove (probably better than Scars of Dracula)
A poor man's version of Night Of The Living Dead, however I'll probably watch it any way. Horror then...horror now...& horror forever!!
This basically had the same ending as night of the living dead where no one survives.
Evil Ed from Fright Night if played by Stephen Geoffreys would be an interesting spin off.
Good call. Oh, you're so COOL, Brewster!
Despite how much of a shameless cash grab it seems to be with the tenuous link to Night of the Living Dead, it’s still nowhere near as insulting as Night of the Living Dead 30th Anniversary Edition and Children of the Living Dead
What is that round 1:37 ? Page of words. ?
"Does it, though?" 😄😄😄
Here in the States having a complete stranger just bite you is practically considered being neighborly anymore.
Only in Florida.
The truck driver at the end of the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Hinzman and Bud The Chud should do a crossover together.

People sure do like that genre of victims becoming the villains.
It looks lije boat captain from Dracula actually is getting his own movie soon.
