@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge Day 8. HOLY WEDNESDAY: ...And on the 8th day the Physical Media God watches a Christploitation flick.

IF FOOTMEN TIRE YOU, WHAT WILL HORSES DO? A lot more graphic child murder than most Christian media. Not all, certainly, but most. #scvpsychochallenge

@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge Day 7. NOW THAT’S BRASS: Skewer the end of week one with a thrust of metal - be it precious or, better yet, base.

TETSUO II: BODY HAMMER! This movie was indescribable and I loved it. What a series. #scvpsychochallenge

Let Tsukamoto do a Terminator! The franchise has literally nothing to lose!

Is there a list of novelty popcorn buckets ranked by fuckability out there somewhere?

Juju Chewbacca @thirstybats.bsky.social · 2d

PS that is one king hell of a poster.

This is my pick, too! Can’t wait to watch it. I was thinking about also doing Irwin Allen’s version for that day, but it’s the one where they glued fins to lizards and it looks so unenjoyably bad.

Bonus points for having both Taryn from Nightmare On Elm Street 3 and Robocop.

@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge Day 5. SHRIEKS & SQUEALS: This one’s gotta have that sound that makes the hairs on your neck stand up and sends shivers down your spine.

SCREAMERS! A video store movie poster that really stuck with me. Fun special effects + great dialogue. #scvpsychochallenge

I’ve been enjoying the hell out of The Complete Megaton Man Universe, Vol. 1: The 1980s. I only knew the character from his Savage Dragon crossover and how many of my favorite creators are vocal fans. They were right. It’s so funny, and the art is really excellent. A good hang in trying times. Woo!

I think it might be on Shudder, and it’s for sure in the first All the Haunts Be Ours box set (which I won a copy of at Scarecrow Video!). Super weird and a blissful 57 minutes long. Even if you don’t like it, you still have three minutes left in your hour.

@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge Day 4. MYTHICAL CREATURES: Though they are hard to capture, you must see one in this feature.

TILBURY. Icelandic folklore really delivers! What a completely insane movie. This might be the find of the month for me. #scvpsychochallenge

Nice! What did you think?

I know! If there had just been a few more, and honestly, maybe even more of the terrible snake they were trying so hard to shoot around. And more Oliver Reed in every scene and possibly voicing the snake.

@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge, Day 3. SIMIAN CINEMA: Grab a six-pack of bananas and watch a primate film. Something appeeling.

MONKEY SHINES. Great cast. Love portrayal of a quadriplegic man as sexually desirable. It also has terrible music and is lit like a soap opera. #scvpsychochallenge

@scarecrowvideo Psychotronic Challenge Day 2. FANGS FOR WATCHING: Charm your senses with an anguine flick.

SPASMS! It was a dud, but no movie with Oliver Reed is entirely bad. You could make an amazing 15 minute cut of this. #scvpsychochallenge

So excited for you. They Live is such an evergreen satire.

@scarecrowvideo #scvpsychochallenge 2025, Day 1: INTRODUCING…: A well-known actor’s first movie. Bonus points if it has an “introducing” credit.

THE MASK - Introducing Cameron Diaz. I’ve had this movie memorized since I was 11 and madly in love with effervescent gangster’s moll Tina Carlyle.

THE GATE - Introducing Stephen Dorff! Very fun special effects. I love a weird little guy, and those monsters are great weird little guys.

Yesterday my partner had an allergic reaction and called me at work asking me to get Benadryl and rush home. I asked the woman in front of me in line at the pharmacy if I could go first, explained the situation, and she said of course. Didn’t even think about it. People are still civil and lovely.

Juju Chewbacca @thirstybats.bsky.social · 9d

Bet that turned a lot of heads.

JK Rowling is gonna look like SUCH an asshole when her cock publicly flops out of her pants like Lenny Kravitz’s.

Off the top of my head I just riffed

On the big cock randy mountain
Nobody has a gag reflex
And it helps us all
As we work the balls
And perform oral sex

And I wish more people than just my girlfriend had been around to appreciate it.

I hope Donald Trump’s dick falls off and no one can find it.
