Permit me to gloat over my latest bad movie acquisition. I'm now the proud owner of what can only be described as my personal holy grail of insane movie memorabilia. There is only one movie that rivals my obsession with the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and that is the schlock masterpiece "Shriek Of The Mutilated", a film that truly has to be seen to be believed, involving a cannibal cult who use a ridiculous abominable snowman costume as a ruse to lure victims to their deaths. This film is precious to me and, bad or not, I rank it near the top of my list of my favorite movies all all time. I FUCKING LOVE SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED!!!! In fact I am so obsessed with this film that I once even wrote a sequel screenplay...I still have this screenplay...maybe some day I will make the long-awaited sequel...long-awaited by no one but me...my friend Ken Dashner...and our friend Kim Stevenson. You see they also love "Shriek"...but only I am now in possession of the original one sheet poster...which makes me the fucking coolest mother fucker alive. Yes, all of you must now bow down before me, drinking in my majesty, for am am truly superior to you now that I have acquired this fabulous bit of memorabilia. I am truly pleased with myself about this. Kudos to me!

I must say, that is indeed an awesome poster, and it sounds like a must see film - alas, Netflix does not have it :-(
Perhaps if you make the sequel, it will get a 'special edition' DVD release :-)
Netflix doesn't have it? Shit...you can probablly find it on line someplace...it goes in and out of print...a friend of mine burned the un-edited version on dvd...a scratchy horrible print...but the movie is hilarious...one of the best bad movies ever...my personal fav..
they sell prints on ebay...probably for very cheap..it's part of a boxset called Bigfoot Terror...not sure which version is on that
Dan,
I just got your comment and have added the movie in my queue!
I'll be looking forward to seeing one of your personal faves! :-)
Thanks for the info!!!

So, I saw Shriek of the Mutilated...
It was an alright film, to me - I just don't share your passion for this film though :-)
[Granted I watched it after having viewed an incredible film, so that may have had something to do with it as well]
Still, thanks for the recommendation, and keep them coming!
