We’ll then fast-forward a bit and watch the very odd “Meridian: Kiss of the Beast” from 1990 and then the very recent “City of Demons” from 2025. The latest issue of “Horror Monthly” is now on sale!

Mainstream Films: 1976 Crash! ● Directed by Charles Band ● Written by Marc Marais ● Stars: Jose Ferrer, Sue Lyon, John Ericson ● Run Time: 1 Hour, 28 Minutes ● Trailer: Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone The awesome poster is the best thing about this one. If you’re into old-school practical effect car chases, crashes, and explosions, this one's for you. As far as horror movies go, it’s pretty tame. A somewhat disjointed tale of murder and revenge and collateral damage. It wasn’t a great film by any means, but we found it pretty entertaining. Spoilery Synopsis A couple in a van talk about almost arriving at their destination. A car comes up behind them and forces them off the road. It’s a Crash! The van explodes in a huge fireball, and we see a body fly through the air. Sometime later, we watch Kim walking through an outdoor flea market at a drive-in. She buys an ugly little figurine from a creepy man at the swap meet. We cut to Kim’s husband, Marc Denne, watching old movies of them playing tennis. Marc is now confined to a wheelchair, and he’s not happy about it. He doesn’t want her to ever leave the house again. We cut to a man in a car who encounters the black convertible that caused the crash earlier. He also crashes and explode
