For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Exhuma (2024), a Korean horror film about some gravediggers who exhume a rich family’s tomb to determine the origin of a supernatural curse, only for some wrathful ghosts to then wreak their vengeance on them. Spookiness ensues. This is by far the most popular and best-regarded work to date of director Jang Jae-hyun, who specializes in horror. Good reviews for this, so let’s check it out.

After that is Howard the Duck (1986), Lucasfilm’s infamous bomb based on the Marvel character of the same name. A scientific experiment inadvertently teleports a duck-like alien to Earth, whereupon he partakes in various silly antics to learn about Earthling culture and pursue women. Uh-oh, another, nastier creature has also been brought here. Can Howard step up and save the day? Director Willard Huyck is otherwise best-known for the horror film Messiah of Evil (1974), which we have not yet watched.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
