Roger Corman-esque in its spirit but mainly in its bottom line, director/writer Larry Blamire’s low budget spoof is a valentine to the cash-poor horror movies of the 50’s and 60’s. Like the best independent producers of that time, Blamire got his movie made by calling in favors and stocking his cast with friends and family (his wife Jennifer plays the alien mutant, “Animalia”). Blamire’s work paid off; the film was picked up by TriStar Pictures and a sequel, The Lost Skeleton Returns Again, was filmed in 2008.

As you know my creeps, I’m usually all about what I can lay my eerie eyeballs upon, but I’m also a huge fan of arcane audios as well! So, to that end, this go-around of the ol’ revoltin’ reviews is purely devoted to sinister sonics (and one short film…)!
Michale Graves:
Ripper (Short Film) Revenge Of The Zombies The Hydraulic-entertainment Demos

There are days when a film announcement hitting my inbox causes me great joy and excitement. This is one of those times. Read on for the details!
Larry Blamire, writer, director, producer and star of the 2001 horror-comedy feature The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and its follow-up, the 2009 flick The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (review here), got in touch with me today to dole out some amazing news--namely, he’s planning on a third film in the franchise to be titled The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us!
“Anyone who knows me knows that I am an outspoken fan of practical FX,” said Blamire, who also directed 2007’s Trail of the Screaming Forehead and 2009’s Dark and Stormy Night, “and I am absolutely thrilled to be partnering with champion practical torchbearer and mad genius Cleve Hall [on a pair of projects].

Writer/Director: Larry Blamire.
Larry Blamire is back in the director's helm in The Lost Skeleton Returns Again. This time, he is embarking on a sequel that largely borrows on the pulps that is seen on Saturday matinees. This one has the same charm as the original movie, and the DVD is not as jam-packed with bonus material. All there is this time is a behind-the-scenes featurette which replaces the commentary track.
This director continues in his tradition of lampooning the genre. The Lost Skeleton is just one figure that's lurking behind the scenes trying to manipulate events. His body was crushed in the original film and now he is capable of flight. Why he would bother with a new body when flying around is cooler - may be beyond the scope of most modern thinking. This product is one best watched with the brain matter turned off.

Interviewed by Jessie Lilley
And just what is a “Renaissance Man” anyway? No, I’m not referring to the Voyager episode and I’m also not talking about the Penny Marshall film. In this context, the term Renaissance Man is defined as a person who excels at many different endeavors: the guy can do a lot of stuff and he does it all quite well. Such a one is the subject of this interview.
Larry Blamire first came across my radar when he and I were both living in Hollywood. I was at a private screening in the home of a friend of mine and he rolled a film called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. I was transfixed. What a delightful way to spend some time; laughing yourself silly. I immediately found a way to contact this man as I wanted to know what makes him tick.

No! Nobody ever made them like this! I mean the architect had to be a certified genius or an authentic wacko!" -- Dr. Ray Stanz, "Ghostbusters"
You'd have to be a certified genius, or maybe an authentic wacko, to make a movie poorly on purpose. But that's what Larry Blamire did when he made "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" in 2001. He paid homage to the legendarily bad films of Edward D. Wood Jr. by mimicking their style and tone, from the horrific screenplay ("As a scientist I just wish I could appreciate more things like cabins...") to the equally atrocious acting ("Even when I was a child, I was hated by skeletons!") to the super low grade special effects. (Know why the alien spaceship looks like it was made out of a toilet paper roll? Because it was made out of a toilet paper roll.)

Next month, the geek world will converge on San Diego, California, it it’s yearly celebration of the popular arts, in the form of Comic Con International. This will be my 18th year attending the festival, although my first as a member of the “press.” I use that term lightly as I consider us here at the Criterion Cast, more like passionate amateurs (a term recently popularized by Michael Chabon), than actual film journalists. We certainly take everything we do here seriously, as evidenced by our commitment over the past year to producing multiple weekly podcasts, attending film screenings, and over the past six months, we’ve covered various film festivals (Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca) to bring our unique cineaste perspectives towards the upcoming crop of films and filmmakers.

Factory unspools a double dose of Larry Blamire low-budget comic homages to b-movies of bygone days as both the sci-fi sequel The Lost Skeleton Returns Again and Dark and Stormy Night, Blamire's ode to 1930's old dark house flicks, make their way to DVD.
The whole Lost Skeleton of Cadavra crew reunite for Blamire's follow-up that continues the tradition of lovingly spoofing the b-movies of the Fifties and Sixties.

• IFC Films and Mpi Media Group gave Fango the first look at cover art for their DVD release of Pontypool (pictured), the acclaimed and unusual zombie thriller starring Stephen McHattie. Also coming this winter from the two companies is another well-received genre film, the Argentinean ghost story The Appeared.
Directed by Bruce McDonald and scripted by Tony Burgess from his book, Pontypool (streeting January 26; see our review here) casts McHattie as a shock jock who, one cold early winter morning, starts receiving mysterious reports from outside about violent and frightening acts committed by the local townspeople. It turns out that they’re infected with a spreading plague that is transmitted via speech and turns them into bloodthirsty killers. In The Appeared (a.k.a. Aparecidos, out January 12), writer/director Paco Cabezas spins the tale of a brother and sister who discover a diary documenting horrific murder and torture 20 years before.

Fango hit the La premiere this past Sunday night of writer/director Larry Blamire’s The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (see photos below), the follow-up to his 2001 cult hit The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra, and chatted him up post-q&A.
Playing to a packed house at Hollywood Boulevard’s Egyptian theater, the film elicited an overwhelming audience response (Blamire’s devotees are quite rabid: this scribe’s parents made a trek all the way from Northern California), and the filmmaker was thrilled by the enthusiastic reception.
“What a terrific turnout,” Blamire tells Fango. “Man, we have the greatest fans. The support is phenomenal, and the audience expectation was palpable and infectious as the characters from the first film made their appearances [in the sequel], including the dead ones.” He’s referring to the roles played by Brian Howe and Dan Conroy, who met untimely ends in the original, with the actors here portraying their identical twins.

Just this past December came word that a sequel to Larry Blamire's low budget homage/parody The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra was in the works. Now The Lost Skeleton Returns Again is in the can, and we're getting our first look at it courtesy of five new teaser trailers.
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra was one of those films that people either found hilarious or flat. Personally, I dug the first film. This time, I don't know; these short teasers don't really do anything for me. Clips 3 and 4 are mildly amusing, but I just can't help but think that they could have posted some better clips than these to whet the appetite. See for yourself and tell me if you agree or think the Lost Skeleton has stolen my funnybone.
