PIRANHACONDA

Dear Syfy Channel,

We're been through a lot over the years, included an ill-advised name change to make you seem quote-unquote "hip" and "edgy" and "retarded". That's fine. You're well aware that we're in a love-hate relationship.

But I would just like to say that I am very proud of you this summer. Not only did you start the season off right by killing Joey Fatone in Jersey Shore Shark Attack (Why did it take so long for someone to think of that movie!), but you decided to continue the streak by airing Roger Corman-approved masterpieces like Piranhaconda.

You are certainly on a roll, Syfy Channel. Some people might gripe about how self-consciously bad you've gotten, some people might even say that it's not fun to watch something that TRIES to be bad, but you know what... SOME people can suck it. Because you, Syfy Channel, are a good kid.

Thank you for Piranhaconda. Please don't like anyone get you down.

Thanks for the memories,

CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA

Creature from the Haunted Sea is a Roger Corman horror-comedy from the early 60s. You can watch it for free on Youtube, along with such wildly different Corman movies as Beast from the Haunted Cave, Devil from the Haunted Forest, and Thingy from the Haunted Laundromat. Corman basically made 17 movies using the exact same script and a Mad Libs cheat sheet.

My fellow bloggers over at The Moon Is a Dead World have pooled together a bunch of movie reviews for the Halloween Fifteen, and my contribution is a write-up for Creature from the Haunted Sea. Check it out, along with 14 other reviews covering everything from Japanimation to torture porn. I am excited to see what people say.
