On this week’s episode of Decayed Tapes, we watched the absolutely delightful Super 8 claymation masterpiece DEBBIE DOES DAMNATION from 1999. The devil needs his horns, and it’s up to a recently deceased naked woman named Debbie to track them down somewhere in the underworld. Sword fights! Gratuitous nudity! Spider skulls! Bat skulls! Reanimated dismembered corpses! Plus: Hilarious dubbing! Penises with faces! Bondage! This movie has it all, including the incredible line, “You’ve graduated from asshole to being dead.” Also, did Avenged Sevenfold steal their infamous logo from one of the creatures here? Quite possibly!
