“Some Kinky Freak Burglary Turned Tragic” - Scream and Scream Again (1970)

I do not need to remind anyone that the British film industry produced an uncountable number of classic films between the late 1950s and the early 1970s, so today we will take a look at what might be the apotheosis of this body of work: 1970's Scream and Scream Again, a bold film that not only features Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing (never mind that they never share the screen and Mr. Cushing's single scene lasts only three minutes), but also combines the Frankenstein and vampire stories with an energetic spy adventure.

Some of your universe's critics are, shockingly, bored by Scream and Scream Again. For example, reviewer Alestrel writes, "One of the worst (most incomprehensible and boring) films I've ever seen." Reviewer happinesspatrol writes, "Scream And Scream Again is a mess of the worst kind." And reviewer ricpantale writes, "This movie is so bad that anyone who enjoys it is beyond help." (Parenthetically, I personally must be "beyond help.")

“Being Dead Broadens One’s Perspective” - Mansion of Blood with Gary Busey (2015)

It is time to examine a relatively recent classic that includes everything except the proverbial kitchen sink -- ghosts, murders, vampires, werewolves, zombies, witches, and even Gary Busey. I am referring, of course, to 2015's Mansion of Blood with Gary Busey (aka Mansion of Blood). 

Some of your universe's critics are unkind to Mansion of Blood with Gary Busey. For example, reviewer keirondarbyshire writes, "The acting is terrible. Really really bad....Scenes just seem to happen without explanation." Reviewer vhsfordays writes, "There were way too many characters, way too many killers and this felt way too long." And reviewer Tengu440 writes, "It's bad by every measure I can think of....Pointless scenes, bad actors, random non sequitor dialogue, and horror movie tropes and scenes that were apparently thrown into a blender and randomly regurgitated with no context."
