🩸 Retro Blood 188: Blood Lake (1987) 🩸
Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as Blood Month continues with one of the most infamous shot-on-video oddities of the 1980s—Blood Lake!
This week, the boys wade through murky waters to discuss this low-budget VHS cult mess, tackling everything from bad acting and awkward pacing to a killer named Jeff and a very tan kid named Tony. Is it so bad it’s good—or just bad?
🎸 Weekly History Segment (January 1987):
Wrestling: Hulk Hogan defends the WWF title against Paul Orndorff on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Metal: Metallica returns to Denmark after a canceled tour, now joined by new bassist Jason Newsted.
🎬 Behind the Scenes:
Director Tim Boggs and actor Doug Barry (Mike) putting himself over in every scene.
The mysterious Tiny Frazier as Jeff the Killer.
How this movie got made, shot, and found its way onto VHS shelves.
🚤 Expect:
— Endless water skiing
— Teens sitting, standing, then sitting again
— The return of “Negative”
— And yes… the original Beavis & Butt-Head energy
It’s one of the roughest watches in Retro Blood history—so of course we had to cover it.
