Since my previous, more extensive review was mysteriously deleted, I wanted to try again to warn potential viewers how truly awful this show is. The fact that it is shown late, late night on public service channels should be some sort of giveaway. Hosted horror movies, even bad movies, can be fun and entertaining. Not so with this amateurish offering that is just dreadful all the way around, and not fun at all. It has none the wit of something like "MST 3000" nor the camp of something like "Svengoolie. The premise is that a "minor demon", the Baron Mondo Van Doren (son of Mamie? He certainly looks as if he could be busty enough), has been sent by his "master" to earth to torment others with bad movies. For some reason, when talking to Satan, this large, effete man talks upward to the sky, as if addressing God instead of his "master", Satan, who, one might think, should be down below. That's just in the credits, and it goes downhill from there. It's often difficult to tell if he is reading cue cards or just looking at the wrong camera. Then there are his "sidekicks": El Sapo de Tempesto - a schlub wearing large, Larry King-style glasses under a Lucha Libre-type mask, whom the Baron treats with nothing but disdain and contempt; and then there is Mittens, a silent character who appears in a mask that has to be seen to be believed - but isn't worth the view. The actor actually appeared once out of his Mittens drag, wherein one wishes he were still silent. He out effetes the Baron in a queeny, drop-dead, supercilious tone of voice that quickly grows from annoying to irritating so quickly that one wishes Mittens could be put down. The cast seems to be a group of old friends from the disco, who, if they have any intelligence at all, are disdainfully putting us all on by proving that any kind of trash can make it to the airwaves. One of the most unintentionally funny segments is the visit to the curator, the strange obese guy with the child molester haircut they keep in the sub...sub...sub....sub...basement. (The Baron pretends to have to slowly count the number of "subs he slowly recites each episode in introducing the segment.) Each show he offers up some obscure prop from some usually obscure horror or sci-fi flick. The few others who have given this dreck its high ratings and glowing reviews HAVE to be friends and relatives of the participants (and maybe even the participants themselves. Note that NONE of them have reviewed anything else on IMDB.)
