SKUNKY! Mike C. Hartman’s first film WRATH OF THE SKUNK APE is full of surprises: The acting is terrible, the plot is confusing, and most of it takes place in the dark, so good luck in figuring out what the heck is going on. Thankfully, it’s short, and on NO-BUDGET…

On an unprecedented episode of NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES, Doug and Moe are facing perhaps their greatest challenge: a movie that isn’t a movie. Sixty straight minutes of Barbie dolls slamming against each other for the amusement of none. Its 2006’s NIGHTMARE MUSEUM and it’s pure pain, administered directly to the eyeballs….

YIPPEE KI-YAY BRAM STOKER! It’s episode 76 of NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES and this time our fiendish hosts are tackling DIE HARD DRACULA, a horror-comedy with a twist: it’s neither horrific NOR funny! It does, however, star Bruce (dad-to-Crispin) Glover as the world’s worst Van Helsing, as well as lovely Czech Republic locations and a rotating cast of – count em! – THREE Draculas. It’s absolutely wretched, but what else is new? ENOUGH TALK, put your lips together and LISTEN!

KILL YOUR DARLINGS and EAT YOUR MAKEUP, it’s time for Episoder 73 of NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES featuring the Patreon-requested shot-on-iPhone exploitation throwback JENNIFER HELP US from 2014! Moe is sleep deprived and Doug is high on caffeine so this time you’re getting  a messy, pun-filled affair with all of the half-considered diatribes you know and love. Grab your skull mask and rev up your chainsaw, folks, because it’s time to dip in right… now!
