I'm a fan of WTF films, especially of the Italian variety. "Blood On Melies Moon" is a fun nostalgia piece, with appearances by Cozzi, Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, and Barbara Magnolfi. It lacks the suspense and excess of 70s and 80s Italian horror, but still has enough colourful visuals and crazy low-budget shenanigans to keep one scratching his head.

The Demons of Ludlow
(1983)
It grew on me.
17 March 2017
My grandma gave me a VHS copy of this for Christmas, when I was little. Back then, I had no appreciation for atmosphere, and the low budget effects and lack of famous names made for a lot of laughs. 20-something years later, I decided to give it another go, and have come to like "The Demons of Ludlow". It's still on the cheesy side, but it's spooky. The synth soundtrack is surprisingly effective, and there are some genuinely dark and unsettling scenes. The sequence about the insane girl and her dolls (and what happens to her) stuck with me all these years. And one little demon looks like she just got in from Mario Bava's "Kill Baby, Kill". I recommend it for those who like a slower pace and have a soft spot for early 80s horror.
