I thought I was pretty well versed in 80s horror schlock, especially films from the year 1987. So believe me when I say my mind was blown when I came across Grizzly 2: The Predator, also known as Predator: The Concert. I’m a big fan of the original Grizzly for the “it’s so bad it’s good” factor, but Grizzly 2 makes the original look like Jaws.
Grizzly 2 was never officially released, and never finished for that matter. Sweet live footage of some great New Wave rock bands and early appearances by Charlie “The Wraith” Sheen, George “Return of The Killer Tomatoes” Clooney, and Laura “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains” Dern make this a must see. I recently snagged a pretty well compiled work-print bootleg and obviously footage is all over the internet.
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
