Taiwan Noir 9: The Witch With Flying Head & Calamity Of Snakes
From the director of The Devil, as spoken of during Taiwan Noir 6 we couldn’t find any biographical info on the filmmaker but despite a varied genre-output (including martial arts and Category III), Zhang Ren-jie liked his goo and gore for at least two movies a lot more seemingly: the mentioned The Devil from 1981 and one of tonight’s movies for review, The Witch With Flying Head. And in the second half, the snakes get it for real and they get back at the humans in a fictional sense. Welcome to Asian cinema and the snake terror that is Calamity Of Snakes. Kenny B and new co-host Todd Stadtman of the Die, Danger, Die Die Kill (aka 4DK) blog take a stab at this double whammy of horror and way too real life horror.

This Week In Sleaze 22: Tightie White Theatre – Human Pork Chop & There Is A Secret In My Soup
Another pair of movies made about the same crime that came out the same year, on the same day. Exploitation productions running towards the finishing line in an era that wasn’t exactly filled with these types of
depictions like you had in 1992-1993. But in 2001, a bit of a race occurred when it was rumoured this story was going into production for depiction and it resulted in Human Pork Chop and There Is A Secret In My Soup. Sleazy K and The Great Lord Joshua Regal give you the grisly details in their reviews. Click image or link below to access the show!
