Jackie Kong is an awesome indie filmmaker and she shocked the world when she started making horror films and horror comedies in the 80s.  A strong female filmmaker in the monster genre and one of the founding parents of horror comedy.  HELLO !!! She should inspire a whole new generation of killer filmmakers out there!!! Look her up.  She sometimes goes on tour with Blood Diner screenings too.  She said she prefers to make monster movies over just straight forward comedies.

Before we go deep into Blood Diner, we’re going to talk about Bill and Ted 3, Evil Dead movie happenings, and a little movie called Split Second.

Bill and Ted Face The Music mini-discussion.  Bill and Ted vs. Wayne’s World?

Bruce Campbell is touring drive-ins with Evil Dead screenings.  

Dave finally kinda watches Split Second.

Screenwriter Gary Scott Thompson wrote the original script titled Pentagram in 1988. It included a ritualistic serial killer who has committed five murders every five years for the last quarter of the century, and always leaves pentagram symbols after each death. One of the reasons why changes were demanded is because the script was considered to be too similar to another horror thriller which came out around the same time, The First Power (1990). 

Creatures designed by Steve Norrington, who did Death Machine and Blade, and did effects on Aliens and Alien 3.  People joke Scorpio Demon is like Venom from Marvel, or that is a Xenomorph.
