Ep. 104 Hellgate

From the people that brought you Hellraiser and Night Patrol (you
read that right) comes 1989's HELLGATE.  This movie stars
Ron Palillo (Welcome Back Kotter) and a group of actors who
weren't in Welcome Back Kotter as students (?) who's weekend
getaway turns to terror when they're lured to a ghost town (?)
called Hellgate.  

This movie has everything.  Is it a horror movie?  Is
it a sci-fi movie?  Is it a comedy?  Is it a producer's
attempt to showcase their enviable car collection?  The
answer to all these questions is, "yes".  

We talk about the sadly overlooked traveling model industry, the
lasting appeal of 1950's diners, and the challenges with using
metal plates instead of band aids.  We also talk about
boners more in this episode then ever before so you have that to
look forward to.  We also debate whether Josie (the lead
ghost in the movie) is trying to seduce Matt (Ron Palillo) for
love or just so that he'll take over her daily
chores.  

This movie ranks high on our "fun meter".  If you liked
ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE, then you owe yourself to take HELLGATE out for
a spin.  Just watch out for brick walls.
