"Bikinis! Monsters! Motorcycles! Welcome to BMC, your new go-to site for B-movies by the likes of John Carpenter (Dark Star) and Roger Corman (Saga of the Viking Women). Now online and in full screen, watch unsung classics like Asylum by Psycho screenwriter Robert Block or Corridors of Blood with the inimitable Christopher Lee. Want to see international icons before they made it big? How about The Ruthless Four, a spaghetti Western starring Klaus Kinski."
Oh man! Now I can take Dark Star off my Netflix queue! Honestly I'm always looking for an excuse to take something off my Netflix queue so I can stick something else on.

God I love AMC. They're pretty much the only reason I ever hit the On Demand button on the remote.

Many of these are used in episodes of MST3K. There's also a site that streams MST episodes.

Wow, first the Original The Prisoner series and now this collection of wonderful B-movies, it's almost enough to make me forgive AMC for re-making The Prisoner with this douche-amatic actor as no. 6.
Anyhow kids, this movie looks like fun: Motorcycle Gang.
Hmm...I wonder what it's about?

Awesome. No country cock blocking either. They have Carnival of Souls too.

Hmm, I can play the movies, but the Prisoner is blocked in the UK.

That's really not a loss. In fact if you are from the UK it should display a message telling you that you really should know better.

Getting Robert Nloch in makes it pretty classy for an Amicus production (they were pretty much the crappy knock off of Hammer), and it doesn't end with it turning out that everybody is dead, which his how most Amicus anthology films end, which is a mark in it's favour.
I forget, is it the one where Roy Castle blows his voodoo horn?

No one is getting Bloch's name right today. Also Roy Castles bit was in Doctor Terrible's House of Horrors.
However I beleive the trademark Amicus creeping hand puts in an appearance in Asylum.

He wrote Psicho, which was directed by Alfred Hetchcock.

Not that's Dr. Terror's House of Horrors... which I exhibit a small amount of pride in no having to google... Oh the joys of BBC2's late-night horror double bill during the summers of my childhood.

Fuck me, it works in Canada (well, I guess no surprises there, AMC is carried by all the corrupt Canadian carriers) and in Safari.
I'm home sick today, so no crappy daytime TV for me, for a change.

That's The House That Dripped Blood... (had to google that though I knew it was 'house' something'). I actually watched it again fairly recently and unfortunately Amicus films don't seem quite so awesome as they did when I was 13.
And before you ask the one with Romana's bottom is Tales That Witness Madness - I found it on youtube the other but haven't got around to watching it yet due to the fear of disappointment.

...and I still think that every film should have a Werewolf Break where you have to guess who is the werewolf, like The Beast Must Die does.
Even films with no werewolf in them at all.
