Remote (1993) is Moonbeam Entertainment’s answer to Home Alone. It’s not what we normally think of as “genre” cinema, but it is gimmicky; that’s gotta count for something.

Pratfalls ahoy!
Nov 4
Esteemed game designer and gentleman farmer Sandy Petersen comes to Jabootu and reviews a Herschell Gordon Lewis gore flick so you don’t have to…and more importantly, so I don’t have to. It’s not just paint that hits the canvas when some mysterious person apparently yells for no reason Color Me Blood Red.*
[FYI Liz, in your country it’s called Colour Me Blood Red. Just so you’re not confused. Also, you drive on the wrong side of the road.]
Gives Me Chills, Pt. II.

Remember that really really really lame “horror” DVD cover? I think I’ve found its rival.
The description for Gravestoned from the official site:
FINALLY. A HORROR FILM FOR STONERS.
Shark and Coltrane, two out-of-work pot farmers really want to break into the movie business. So they chainsaw a cadaver’s arm off and use the severed arm as a prop in a horror film. Now they have to survive a night in the graveyard with a cadaver zombie that wants his arm back! Pot smoking slacker gravediggers, a movie goddess (Lar Park Lincoln, Friday the 13th Part 7), an obsessed movie mogul, a cadaver salesman, hot cheerleaders who may be exotic dancers, a redneck who would love to grill a severed arm and a horny Scottish Terrier – they’re all here in this over-the-top horror film for stoners that has been called the most ominous use of a severed arm in the history of celluloid
Point #1: Wasn’t Charles Band’s Evil Bong (2006) a horror film for stoners? Evil Bong 2: King Bong (2009)? Shrooms (2007)?
Point #2:
How stoned do you have to be to think, “That looks like a good movie”?
