Haunted House Of Pancakes

Waffles, the perfect way to start breakfast with your children. It´s also a very easy option if you want to make a easy lunch to enjoy. I used to eat waffles quite often as a child, especially at hotel restaurant breakfast buffé with my grandparents on vacation to Spain or Greece. They would serve home made waffles constantly for families, so you can imagine how many they made every single day. Nowdays i can make waffles at certain occasions, for example if i don´t feel like cooking something big and just want to be lazy. When it comes to food that´s included in B horror movies we have some true classics. Most of you might have heard of the 1978 B movie horror comedy Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes from director John DeBello. This is a parody film on B horror movies from the 1950´s basically but instead of attacking bugs we have tomatoes attacking instead. It is just as terrible as it sounds, and there are some charming scenes in this film that i can laugh about. Is it worth a watch? Only if you enjoy terrible films just like myself, however i actually prefer the 1988 sequel Return Of The Killer Tomatoes! with legendary actor John Astin ( who played Gomez Addams in the 1960´s TV series version of The Addams Family ) and a young George Clooney. This film is also directed by John DeBello and you can tell that he´s behind this film. This sequel pretty much follow the same pattern as the original film, with the same sense of terrible humour that´s still enjoyable if you are in the right mood. I have not seen the other sequels in this franchise so i can´t say if they are any good. I have heard they are doing a remake of the original film, so that could be something worth checking out when it´s released. YouTube movie reviewer Geek Legion Of Doom that i have followed for many years reviewed a B horror comedy called Haunted House Of Pancakes last year, a that title caught my attention. Anything that sounds terrible is definetely something i should be watching. So i finally got an oppurtunity to see this film and the question is, does this film entertain B movie lovers or is it even worse than i ever could have imagined?

Local resturant owner Frank DeFrank ( Chris De Christopher ) buy an old school waffle maker online which he hopes will get lots of customers to enjoy his food. Good hearted and hard working restaurant worker Jay ( Fabian Guerrero ) tries to help the customers as much as possible while he have a soft spot for female friend Sarah ( Jada Krueger ), who is working hard on her studies. When the old school waffle maker is finally ready to be used, the restaurant staff is about to find out this is no ordinary waffle maker.

Have you been looking for a B movie that doesn´t take itself seriously at all? Do you just want to have a good time with cheesy dialogue, bad acting, practical make up effects and demonic waffles looking like cheese balls on steroids? Then this is definetely the film you have been looking for. Haunted House Of Pancakes feels like a throwback to similar films such as Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes except now it´s waffles that is attacking humans instead. Well, not just waffles to be exact, you even have a toilet who comes to life and eat a woman. This is exactly the kind of film we all need to experience. A film that reminds us of the good days of B movies and why these kinds of films are important in today´s modern society. You see i actually respect a film such as this more than many of the big budget Hollywood releases, because the film team have made an effort without using CGI effects and does not include a big budget. I really appreciate when film makers working on low budget films care about their project and i can actually feel that there is passion in the making of this film. When it comes to the acting it is a very mixed bag, there are some terrible acting for sure ( as it´s supposed to be in a film such as this ), but i actually enjoy the screen chemistry between actor Fabian Guerrero ( who i recognized from the independent slasher horror film Final Summer ) and actress Jada Krueger. Their scenes that they have together actually are charming as you can feel they are attracted to each other. So what about the killer waffles? They actually look really silly but manage to work with the simple plot. Even the demonic iron waffle maker have some charming moments as well while other food like frensh fries comes to life. Haunted House Of Pancakes is a horror comedy made for B movie lovers like myself who grew up in VHS rental stores. It´s fun, it´s silly and it finds a good balance of horror and comedy to combine it well together. Director Nathan Dalton ( who was one of the writers of the B horror comedy Attack Of The Killer Donuts, worth a watch ) deliver a film that easily will make your day much better. Haunted House Of Pancakes should be on your watch list this year and proves why B movies are needed for a more positive future.
