Bad Movie Night
Welcome to So Bad, So Good, YouTube's most successful channel dedicated to trash cinema. This week, we'll be watching and discussing the elusive horror flick Creepies. Some say the film is cursed, that its cast members died in unusual ways. Others claim the writers, producers, and directors have gone into hiding because of the movie's macabre reputation. Countless viewers have experienced flashbacks to scenes within the film, as if they themselves were characters. But surely those are just rumors, right? Let's fire up the VCR and find out. Grab some popcorn, crack open a cold one, and ignore the scratching in the walls.

BAD MOVIE NIGHT...first take? AWESOME!
If it seems like it's been forever since we got something new from Patrick Lacey (A Voice So Soft, We Came Back), it's because, well, it has. In 2019, Lacey released three booksâWHERE STARS DON'T SHINE and A VOICE SO SOFT (both from Grindhouse Press) and the excellent LORDS OF THE DEEP, co-written by fellow indie horror star, Tim Meyer (Severed Press).
What's up with the recent silence? I ran into him at a convention this year and asked him. It turns out Lacey started a family, and if that wasn't enough, he's also been hard at work behind the scenes preparing for some next-level stuff. So, when Grindhouse Press announced earlier this year that they'd be putting out a new book from one of my favorite current horror writers, I was freaking pumped!
My thoughts on BAD MOVIE NIGHT:
Lacey hits homers with any retro horror movie-loving, heartbroken protagonist he writes and he does the same here. We have a group of YouTubers who watch bad horror movies and talk about them. A hard-to-find indie flick called Creepies finds its way to the studio where they do all their work and the weirdness begins. I love that a lot of Lacey's horror fiction feels like a fucked-up dream, you can tell he watched A Nightmare on Elm Street about two thousand times as a kid and it soaked deep into his marrow. BAD MOVIE NIGHT is no different. The film (Creepies) is haunted. The actors all died at various times since filming it, and the director was let go halfway through production. The original director's B-movie vision of a Gremlins/Ghoulies/Friday the 13th takes a huge turn into an odd direction once the second director takes over.
Our main character's past, including an accident with his ex, makes him a target for the more bizarre aspects of the film and its curse.
I don't want to give you any more info on what happens, so you can check it out for yourselves.
If you're a fan of Lacey's past works, or have a hardcore love for retro horror movies (anything they'd show you on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), you are going to have a blast with this book.
Patrick Lacey's BAD MOVIE NIGHT is a guaranteed good time.
