I have survived another year of B-Fest! Here's what we saw.

J. Lee Thompson 1986 | Action
Greg's comment: "Not much fire. Lots of walking."
The villain's eye patch sometimes covered his right eye and sometimes his left.
I wasn't sure if this was fake Raiders of the Lost Ark or fake Romancing the Stone. Greg pointed out that Romancing the Stone is fake Raiders of the Lost Ark, so it would be fair to call Firewalker fake Romancing the Stone.

Roy William Neill 1943 | Horror
As the title came up, one person shambled across the stage like Frankenstein's monster, and someone else crept over from the other side of the stage imitating a werewolf. When they got to the middle, they shook hands.

Short
I can't even remember what this was. Maybe Kids and Comics, the annoying short film about how war comics turn boys into clarinet-playing whisperers with destruction on their minds.

Lewis Seiler 1940 | Action
Ronald Reagan movies are easy to sleep through because his voice is so nice and modulated.

Stompy fun as always.
Midnight

Edward D. Wood Jr. 1959 | Sci-Fi
Paper-plate-throwing fun as always. Jim made some incredible stencilled paper plates that people couldn't stop looking at.

Bob Kelljan 1973 | Horror
Blacula looks handsome in light blue.
Pam Grier screamed so many variations of "Stop! Don't hurt him!" that somebody behind me said "Tell him to go ahead--maybe he'll change his mind."

Fred F. Sears 1956 | Music
Includes the Bill Halley song that contains the catchphrase "Hot dog, buddy buddy," which became the catchphrase of the evening. Clips are here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBBRs3fSFi0
The song that unleashed a thousand Brak imitations is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKIG7wR56V8
We were all impressed by the Treniers song that had lyrics along the lines of "I'm gonna jump out the bushes and SCAAAARE YOOOOU, SCAAARE YOOOOU . . ." Except that Andrew thought it was "jump out the woods." And I thought it was "jump out the woodshed." Needless to say, I can't find it online because I don't know what it's called or what the words really are. Help?

I'd always thought of Firewalker as fake King Solomon's Mines (Richard Chamberlain edition... speaking of fakes...)
Thanks for the recaps from an East Coaster who even when missing stuff like this concedes marriage isn't the worst idea.
