Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong
Filed under: Comedy, Horror, Casting
Sometimes you hear about the plot of a new movie and you think, "Damn, why didn't I come up with such a simple concept?" -- while other times you find yourself wondering "Who the hell would make a movie THIS stupid?" Both of those thoughts careened through my brain when I saw the cover for Charles Band's next flick, the inevtiably awful but hilariously stupid-looking Evil Bong. Yes, that's right: Someone finally got the smart idea to make a horror movie called Evil Bong.If the name Charles Band sounds familiar, then you're probably a serious movie geek who's also the same approximate age as yours truly. As manager of Empire Pictures / Full Moon, Band littered the '80s & '90s with low-rent fun-trash such as Troll, TerrorVision, Ghoulies, and the endless parade of Puppet Master sequels. These days Chuck is running an outfit that delivers titles like Doll Graveyard, The Gingerdead Man, and ... yes, Evil Bong -- which stars Tim Thomerson, Bill Moseley, and (of course) good ol' Tommy Chong.
I've got a perfect tagline for the flick: "Evil Bong! It'll make you hungry ... for a good movie."

Charles Band makes me hurt inside. Not because his movies are intentional junk, but because they remind me that he's actually given the money and creative control to do these things, and I'm not.
That said, I'll definitely see Evil Bong, just like I saw The Gingerdead Man. And, for the record, in one shot alone the Gingerdead Man fires no less than 16 bullets from a six-shooter revolver. Well played, Gingerdead Man, well played, indeed.

Will it be bad? Certainly.
Still, the production values will be much better than on a film like Pot Zombies, which I actually own on DVD...

So, how many other THC-infused horror movies exist? (Reefer Madness and documentaries that frighten you with the truth about the War on Drugs don't count)

Haha. Awesome! I personally am VERY excited for this movie...but the title of this post should be:
"Kristyn Green, Tommy Chong & the Evil Bong"
That's bc Kristyn is one hot mama!!! ...AND she was in Doll Graveyard.
Yay for cheesy Charles Band movies!
