Four weeks before Jurassic Park hit theaters, Roger Corman brought us his own dinosaur movie with 1993's Carnosaur. Tony from @HackTheMovies joins us in the Video Dungeon to talk about this New Horizon Pictures classic featuring special makeup and creature effects by John Carl Buechler and starring Laura Dern's mom! Featuring Dianne Ladd, Raphael Sbarge, and Jennifer Runyon, using a virus through chicken experimentation, Dr. Tiptree plans to turn the entire female human population into hosts for the true rulers of the Earth: dinosaurs. It's up to an environmentalist and anti-hero to go toe-to-claw with not only the mad scientist, but also the ever-evolving Deinonychus and even a massive T-Rex! So take a shot of re-agent and hop in a Bobcat, because we're about to do battle with Carnosaur!

The Unnamable 1 & 2 (1988/1992) | Movie Dumpster S8 E13
As the sun sets on our Summer of Lovecraft event for this year, the moon rises and gives shape to THE UNNAMABLE! In this double feature review, we delve into Jean-Paul Ouellette's cult Lovecraftian horror adaptations: The Unnamable (1988) and its sequel The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter (1992). Based loosely on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, these films bring the mythos to life with a blend of Gothic atmosphere, practical creature effects, and campy 80s/90s horror charm. This review explores how Ouellette interprets Lovecraft’s eerie prose through the lens of low-budget indie horror, comparing the spooky, claustrophobic tension of the original with the more action-driven, lore-expanding sequel. We also examine the evolution of the creature Alyda Winthrop, the recurring role of Randolph Carter, and the films’ place in the larger legacy of Lovecraft cinema. Whether you’re a die-hard Mythos fan or a lover of old-school horror, this review uncovers what makes these lesser-known gems the BEST H.P. Lovecraft Creature Features you've never seen!
