When I worked at a video store in the late 1980s, you couldn't keep this VHS tape in the store. Stoners loved to rent it on weekends all the time.

"Wanted to appeal to kids and stoners." Ah, the Spongebob business model, set in place years earlier.

Diane Franklin! I'll always be a fan!

The poster comes first The movie comes later *'It opens in three weeks in Tulsa'*

I love those old practical special effects. The CGI that we now have tends to make movies all look the same. During the 80's movie monsters had a distinctive look and personality.

"War stories and monster movies are educational. They're survival-oriented. They always neutralize the enemy in the end." One of my all-time favorite movie quotes!

Terrorvision is probably the most underrated film of the 1980’s. I discovered it in a used video store in the 90’s. I hated it on the first watch, and I only have it now because I decided to give it a second watch months later. I was sure I was going to throw that VHS in the trash but it ended up becoming one of my favorite movies from the 80’s.

I have immense admiration for Charles Band....so many stories about him start with "he had a poster and a title. That was it." I wish my job was coming up with cool titles and posters, then finding filmmakers to execute them.

The mom always struck me as a proto-Peg Bundy. And who here instantly had the theme song playing in their head?

I miss JCB. I've met a lot of talented people at horror events over the years, but he was one of the very nicest and always seemed genuinely excited to get to talk to fans of his films one-on-one. Super cool man.

General Herseybar was a friend of mine when I was a kid. I thought he was just eccentric not famous.

I had no idea Buechler had passed, the man was an absolute legend, especially for introducing the world to Kane Hodder as Jason.

I remember seeing this back in 1989 or so on an L.A. station here in So Cal. KCOP 13. They used to show some really fucked up stuff in the middle of the weekend afternoons. Saw this, Re-Animator and From Beyond. Man I miss those slot machine days of TV in a way. You never knew what you'd encounter and be exposed to on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

I remember seeing this first on a TV theme double feature night on Sci-fi Channel along with Videodrome. Has three of my favorite character actors.

No matter how many of your videos I watch, it still makes me happy that there’s a bigger fan than me, willing to put the hours in to make this content. Thank you.

I love this movie, it`s so goofy and weird, and Diane Franklin was soooo cute back then..

This was fantastic, and I had to share it with my daughter. This is one of our favorite bad films, and there was so much we learned about it. At some point you should check out "Meet the Hollowheads."

The theme song is like The B-52's meets the Cramps, and it rules!

Terrorvision is so good but bad obscure 80s flick! I freaking love it! Thanks for exploring this film! Speaking of Tourist Trap....YOU MUST EXPLORE THAT ONE NEXT! That's another good obscure film! :)

This is one of my all-time favorite movies growing up as a kid. It aired on TV and I recorded it and had the VHS for years then had to get a bootleg copy of the Japanese Laserdisc on DVDr until the recent Blu-Ray release. It's so cool that Diane Franklin shared this video on her Social Media accounts. Great video.

I remember seeing this film as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. Mostly the ending where everyone died. At the time, I was not used to downbeat endings. I didn't know what it was called, but it stuck with me for years until I rediscovered it. I had the honor of meeting Buechler at Mad Monster Party in Charlotte. He and Kane Hodder signed my VHS copy of "Project: Metalbeast".

I love Terrorvision. I remember finding on late night cable when everyone was asleep. I still will watch it once in a while.

Gerrit Graham is pretty much a instant reason to watch ANY movie he's in.

This is absolutely one of my favorite 80's B-rate horror movies! My friend found it at a massive VHS sale when the local video store was transitioning to DVD.

Love these types of movies, it's sad I never heard of it, growing up in the 80's after all

I watched this as a kid on TV. Loved it immediately.

Trading cards. The film's aesthetic reminds me most of wacky 80s trading cards.

It's odd they thought this was a Poltergeist homage when it's clearly a Little Shop of Horrors homage!

I remember seeing this as a kid on late night TV. It’s stayed with me to this day as one of the most weird films I’ve seen. Glad to see it’s now getting its deserved audience.

This is one of my moms favorites, back in the day (lol-pre Facebook ) she was on a site called CyberTown and had a friend burn her a copy and mail it to her :p It’s cool to see the behind the scenes of the movie. Love your videos always!

I was looking for a documentary on the band Terrorvision when this movie popped instead. What a treat.

The theme song of this movie is a freaking ear worm 🐛

Terror-Vision is ultimate 80's cheez!

This is the BEST Channel!!!

5:22, love Harry Shearer!! If he had left The Simpsons, it would never had been the same without him.

This was my best friend's favorite flick. As kids, we used to quote from it on a regular basis.... "Can't even get a Heiney for the road"... "This dude's into metal!"... "Roman guy, Roman all the way!... "Come on, come on, come on!" "Spiro Zerost is the MANLIEST of men...I LIKE BOYS!" I have to admit I was surprised you didn't mention the obvious sponsorship of Heineken beer in this movie as every character holds one up with the label clearly visible, including Medusa, and the Putterman's bar was stocked with nothing but Heinies... A great and hilarious dark comedy, I'm reminded of my best friend every time I see anything connected to it and miss him incredibly, he died three years ago last May at the very early age of 50...

I think I have a movie for you guys to check out: House on Tombstone Hill. It was recently rereleased on Blu-Ray after getting the HD treatment. Previously it could only be found on VHS or a somewhat rare Troma release under a different title: Dead Dudes in the House. The "ghost" of an old lady kills with power tools. It's amazing.

I didn’t know Buechler passed away. I guess we’re never getting a Troll remake now.

Hell yes! I've been requesting this for years. Maybe that Enemy Mine video is in the not-too-distant future.

love this film

Love this movie and have since I was a kid. Also props for the Aborted nod.

Just saw this for the 1st time in 20 years on amazon prime. Great film. Keep up the great work!

This movie IS my childhood. I love everything about this film

How did I get so lucky! Just put the baby down for a nap and now settle into GBF!

Man, i'm 45 and french and i still have chills and 6 yo tears from when challenger exploded...

for ten years i was trying to remember the name of the movie then it played on T.C.M one night and it was like a punch to the gut cause i had reunited with it

Me and my sister LOVED this movie growing up! She named her college home wifi network "Pleasure Dome" and all her guests / neighbors would have to watch this film to find out why

I think I saw this on Joe Bob Briggs drive-in theatre as a kid. That show was a goldmine.

Never stop your video essays. You are the best channel on youtube.

5:29 PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, pls do that one soon

I saw this on VHS back when I was a kid (so a long time ago) and I remember loving the movie. I re-watched it recently and yeah I think it holds up. Its bizarre, over the top, nonsensical but it has so much heart. Defiantly a so bad its good movie and a personal fave of mine.

I’m waiting for the day when I see that you do an episode on The Eliminators! That would be a perfect film for your channel. A ninja AND a cyborg with tank treads? Need I say more!? 😉

Oh no, my favourite movie reviewer isn't talking about one of my favourite retro goofy monster movies! Yes!!!

I love you man keep up the work flicks and you should do a vid on the movie evolution👏🏼👏🏼

Great one! It's a goofy movie and hits the right notes on being horribly campy. I still watch this once in a while, it's just great fun.

I remember I saw this as a kid and LOVED IT! One of the best 80s horror satire out there.

This video made me happy because I legit LOVE TerrorVision!

One of my favorites. Great work, Cecil! "OD? Is he an Irish boy?" XD

One of my favorite 80s Horror Comedies

Medusa 🖤

Happy you gave a shout out to Aborted! Great friggin album!

Cecil, thank you. I love this film, and Gerrit Graham. Watching this on the big TV, as Odin intended. Hugs and love from our house to yours!!!

TerrorVision is one of my most favourite B-movies ever made. Gries is always fun to watch and you can tell its not meant to be taken seriously. So you can have fun with it.

I think I first saw this on tv on the TCM channel around 2am when I was a kid.... I was scared to sleep that night

Bravo! I've always absolutely adored this movie, which I feel has been almost criminally overlooked. So glad to see you cover it!

I’ve had this on vhs for nearly 30 years. Must have watched it 200 times.

I hope you can continue to make these. I have nothing to offer you in a patreon way, but your videos are the most interesting things I've ever come across in the "making of" genre. You make me want to watch films I've never seen or heard of and educate me on missed masterpieces and mistakes. I find nothing else more exciting on youtube then when a new GoodBadflix "Exploring" comes on my feed!

One of my all time favorites... Thank You Cecil!

Geez, I shuddered every time the Troll was on the screen. (And there were plenty) That movie gave me nightmares for ten years straight.

It’s been a few months since I last watched this channel. I’m glad I came back. I absolutely love this channel

Awesome! the best way to spend my afternoon! Respect from Greece.

The family in the bed has always stuck with me. I couldn't remember the movie it came from. Thanks for bringing back that nightmare 😂

This movie predicted Vaporwave

The Cramps were supposed to do the soundtrack? That would have been amazing!

I watched this a few months ago on KZfaq after it somehow showed up in my recommended after watching your stuff for a day. Was shocked you hadn’t covered this yet

Your level of detailed facts is unparalleled

This is my favorite 80’s cult movie by far! I love it! This and top secret

I loved this movie as a kid. It took me years to rediscover this when AVGN reviewed it on monster madness

I haven't seen this one in many, many years. Thank you for bringing it to my attention again!! Definitely need this one on Blu-ray

6:30, Running Scared is a fun action comedy film.

Excellent as always. Thanks Cecil!

This is one of the first horror movies I ever watched. Love it to this day , such a fun campy movie.

"It is hard to tell whether the creatures dripping with primordial ooze, are any less attractive than the Puttermans." Sounds like that was the point of the film.

I came across it by accident on KZfaq. I just checked and it's still up and in really nice quality for an 80s flick!

Holy Law Of Attractions, I just watched this for the first time. Love your deep dives on the weird stuff!

A favorite pastime of my Pops and I back in the early to mid eighties in the formerly known as "Chocolate Cuddy" DC, was to go to my late cousin Jimmy 's apartment at night. He, Jimmy, and the other adults would go drink and smoke in one room, while myself (I was like 8) and any other children would watch movies in the living room. One night, we were treated with pizza, which normally for any kid is awesome! BUT, at that same moment, I would watch back to back two of the WORSE movies to eat pizza to! One was "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2" and other....you guessed it, Terror vision! Great times, long live the 80's!

Great video, as usual! Terrorvision is the awesomest thing ever created by mankind.

YES!! I absolutely love this flick!! I saw it when I was a kid when a friend and I rented it at our local video store, and I was an instant fan!!

Man i miss the 80s what a great time for T.V.

I found this film on KZfaq. Its so over the top its brilliant. Great to hear more about the background for it

I discovered this movie thanks to In Search of Darkness Part 3 doc, and loved it.

RIP John Buechler. Before I came across this gem, John Cryer to me was known as the steak stealing football dreamer Uncle Rico from Napolean Dynamite.

just watched this, really loved it, the father was hilarious! great work with all the behind the scenes stuff

Loved this one! Thanks man

Wild critters and killer clowns will always be my favorite films this film holds a special place in my heart it is so abstract and so goofy that you can’t help but love it

Randi Brooks from Hamburger The Motion Picture also appears in this and it's sad that I knew that without looking it up!

Weirdly this movie was in the horror section of the Video Rental Store in the 80s and 90s into the mid 2000s.

I saw this on USA Up All Night years and years ago. I've been unable to find out what the hell the movie was called until I saw this.

I love this movie!

Wow, when a ten year old me saw this on an indie station about 1988 it was practically brand new, but seemed like it was much older. For some reason the grandfather's gun collection fascinated me. I got a toy m16 and reenacted the fights with the alien.
