Miracle Mile (1988)

May 31, 1999Asteroid Collision/Disaster Movie

A sequel to the Star Trek fandom documentary Trekkies. Here the filmmakers and Denise Crosby return to take in international fandom in all its permutations
Mortuary (2005)
Nov 18, 2007Creature in the Crypt/Body Snatchers
Another effort in the sad slide into shabby amateurishness that marked that latter years of Tobe Hooper's career, a muddled effort set around a mortuary involving body-snatching fungus and deformed relatives in the crawlspaces
