Dangerous Encounters with Eurotrash Utility Belt

We, at the...uh, office, were recently introduced to an amazing zine that our readers should know of!

Dangerous Encounters is the kind of zine befitting of title and genre - extreme cinema reviews packed into a xeroxed paper rag composed on an actual typewriter . This is primo stuff for sickos, weirdos and you. Extra Chestnut House points for being written in the great state of Florida.

 I dedicated/lost/said fuck work to an entire day  and started watching movies I had picked out of my pages of notes from just the first two issues and it was the best decision I've made since eating lunch a couple times a week at the local taco truck. Here are a few winners.

DISGUSTING SPACE WORMS EAT EVERYONE (1988) - Seems like a buncha German film school kids into Troma filmed a grimey East LA river based space horror film with a killer new wave punk soundtrack! Smoke a doober and check it. Reminds me at times of the Dead Milkmen's Punk Rock Girl video's vibe meets HLT Productions. Fricken great. And that B&W kitchen counter top TV on the dashboard of the gumshoe's car?? Hahaha. YES.

 

VINEYARD (1989) - Who doesn't like Big Trouble? Just got a torrent, so stoked to watch the whole wino shebang. Hehe.

GORE-MET ZOMBIE CHEF FROM HELL (1986) - Honestly, this one is pretty bad but the coke fueled disco scene smack in the middle is worth the wait. But still a good movie if it's the type of afternoon where you are sitting around and lighting your farts on fire.

SPECIAL SILENCERS (1982) - Here is some straight up Indonesian guano-core complete with Shaw Brothers level English overdubs, real politick, Barry Prima doing his best Bruce Li (yeah its that second rate), and a dollop of shamanistic occult references. Solid way to end our recent movie rally.

So write a letter, SAVE THE POST OFFICE, and send some well concealed cash to our boys out in FL asking for your copies today.
