Plot – Spoilers:
Duane and his malformed brother Belial are back.
The fall at the end of Basket Case 1 (1982) seems to have knocked more detailing into Belial’s appearance. It appears that falling from the top floor = 8 years of progress in sfx.
The brothers are adopted by Granny Ruth who has a cult of freaks hidden away in her attic, and among the myriad beings there, Belial finds love. This gives us a memorable creature-porn scene where Belial and his lady love explore and discover each others sex organs and hot spots among all the mounds and protrusions.
Meanwhile, Duane falls in love with Ruth’s granddaughter and wants to leave with her, but a snoopy reporter lady is being a nuisance.

brilliant
I just found out that there is a part 3 to this series and watched it on another movie site ( sorry EUM ). Its a must watch to complete the trilogy.
A love story. .
. With a great soundtrack and some grossly OTT acting. Classic.
I remember watching these movies with my brother like 10 years ago, we laughed our asses off
Excellent. Love these 80s exploitation films. Now we just need Henenlotters ”Brain Damage” and thats the trifecta right there. On ya, EUM legends!
Basically a fever dream
LOLZ! Love me some campy 80s horror flicks! Looks like Belial gained some weight… and has been honing his anti-gravity skills too. What a talented little monster!
And the captioning… it’s from the first Basket Case. I happened to catch it right as the brother was offering up his entire inventory. Quaaludes… Anybody here remember those things? They were waaaay too much fun so they stopped making them in the early 80s…. anyway, I digress.
I really enjoyed this one! Thanks, admin…. And I’d especially like to thank you for the ability to edit my posts!!! How effin’ cool is that?! Hey… I’m easily amused. What can I say? Thanks again. I wish you wealth, continued success, and good looks.

Thank you admin for the movie.
