Bag Monster

OK, Bag Monster is a moronic name, but Monster has become a catch-all phrase for "Hey, this will help you do something" This section will help you find the bags you're looking for (like you're really looking for them). Leaving everything blank will retrieve a list of all bags, however that may cause the page to load slowly.

Agathocles

Received From: Scott Cunningham
Print or Image Color: Orange, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Orange
This is a rare find I purchased on eBay. From the mid-90s, it's Grindcore Music (whatever that is). The bag says

AGATHOCLES
FASCINATION OF MUTILATION
VOMIT BAG

Air Berlin (Elyas M'Barek)

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Rainer Schwartz
Background / Bag Color: White
Finally, instead of having separate bags on airlines and in movies, Air Berlin marries the two into a single bag. This bag features German / Tunisian heartthrob Elyas M'Barek for his 2015 movie sequel: Fack ju Göhte 2, which translates to a misspelled F*ck you, Goethe

The bag shows Mr. M'Barek admonishing you to Kotz Leise or "Barf quietly"

Airline

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Michelle Wiesner
Print or Image Color: Blue and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is a promotional piece created by A&E Network to tout their new reality show 'Airline'. And doesn't this bag really address the central debate of 'Air Sickness Bags: art or entertainment'? Resoundingly, bags are both art AND entertainment as the good people of A&E will attest.

Nice copy on the bag that says, "You wouldn't believe what comes out of some passengers' mouths."

Airplane II The Sequel

Approximate Vintage: 1982
Print or Image Color: Red, Gray, Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Although this is only a sticker on a bag, this is an actual bag from the Airplane 2 promo kit distributed in 1982 by Paramount Pictures. The bag came with a fake boarding pass and seat occupied card (not shown). Most movie bags from this era were for horror flicks, so this from a comedy is somewhat unique.

Airplane!

Approximate Vintage: 1980
Received From: Brian Floetl
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White, Tan
I believe that this is the original 1980 bag from the movie Airplane! It's only a sticker on a brown paper lunch bag, but maybe that was the sophistication of press kits in those days. The bag has the following rhyming but somewhat nonsensical text:

You'll laugh at antics most insane
A flight of fancy -- that's Airplane.
You'll shake ... you'll roar ... you'll hold your tummy ...
There's never been a movie so funny.
And if with laughter you finally gag...
Don't hold it in -- just use this bag!

HAVE A GOOD TRIP!!

Beyond (The)

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Joseph Ortega
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Anchor Bay Entertainment releases a film called The Beyond. With it, a bag. This bag is part of the Lucio Fulci collection. Who is Lucio Fulci? Hell if I know, but his name comes up a lot when you search for horror films with barf bags.

This bag says, "Due to the intense and shocking nature of this film, individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience stomach distress." It also taunts you with "CAN YOU TAKE IT?" As a PS, the bag says, "Note: This bag is intended for one-time use only. Please do not overfill.", which is odd because, Like Cannibal Ferox, this bag is Renewable, Recyclable, and Reusable.

Blair Witch Contest

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
On September 20, 1999, the Pantagraph -- a newspaper in Bloomington, IL -- held a contest to find the best spoof film of the Blair Witch Project. The following day, it was covered in the paper.

As part of this gala, a barf bag was distributed although who was given this barf bag isn't entirely clear to me.

The bag says, "Official BLAIR WITCH CONTEST Barf Bag The Pantagraph CONNECTING CENTRAL ILLINOIS"

Blitzkrieg

Approximate Vintage: 2008
Received From: Robert Hauschild
Print or Image Color: Red Sticker
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag was distributed at the showing of Blitzkrieg at the 99 seat Pioneer Theater in New York City, that closed Friday, Nov. 7th, 2008. I don't think for one moment that distributing barf bags was any sort of desperate attempt to stave off closure, oh no no no.

Blood Circus

Approximate Vintage: 1985
Received From: Mary Neeley
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: Tan
This item is an Official Blood Circus Scream Bag featuring new THUNDERVISION™ that will shatter your seats! The film also featured 3D sound SANTOPHONICS™ (whatever the hell that is).

The coolest thing about this bag is the Free Diamond Ring Coupon which states, "Return this coupon along with your movie stub plus $1.00. NATURAL DIAMOND NOT COUNTERFEIT". To that I wonder wtf?

Blood Feast

Approximate Vintage: 1982
Received From: George Larson
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Whereas other horror flick bags claim they are rated V for Violence, this movie is rated T for Terrifying. Odd distinction. Cool fanged goatee guy hovers over muscular woman in slinky dress. This bag comes with a Philadelphia mailing address although I couldn't possibly tell you why.

Mark Monastyrski, an expert in the movie barf bag genre elucidates, "Blood Feast was released in 1963 and is widely regarded as the first "Splatter Film." Like "Cannibal Ferox," "BF" was banned in the UK under the so-called "Video Nasties Act" of the early '80s. Movies Unlimited, the source of the PA address, is a fantastic film store that has just about everything in print. Check out their website at moviesunlimited.com; someone there might be able to tell you about the Blood Feast bag. [Bags might have been handed out at BF's original theatrical run, but I still need to read up on it.]"

Mark adds, "According to an interview in The Onion, barf bags were part of the promotions for the original 1963 release of "Blood Feast." The article mentions an original bag selling for $25 dollars.

I can't really tell you much about this bag. It sure looks like a throwback, but I'm not so sure. Although some water got on the bag before I ever got to it, and the blood "ran", the bag feels new. Plus, the logo looks a lot like the logo that currently graces the Starlight's Web Site. Anyway, I've never seen another bag like it. So even though it looks retro, I'm not sure. Can you help? For what it's worth, the Drive-In is located at 2000 Moreland Ave SE in Atlanta.

The 19th Annual Brainwash Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk-In Movie Festival for 2013 features The Incendiary Adventures of a Scientist Gone Mad FREE Barf Bag. The first 100 patrons receive as free Barf Bag just for showing up!

Although I was not in Oakland for this opening, I was able to score a bag in exchange for an old Mark of the Devil Bag. The Brainwash bag is great. It has a big brain on it with the following text

Cannibal Ferox

Approximate Vintage: 1980
Received From: Tom Bullock
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag was distributed at a movie by the same name. The bag claims that it is "Positively The Most VIOLENT Film Ever Made!". The film is also "Guaranteed to Upset Your Stomach!!!". I love this bag. Now the odd thing about this bag is side 2 where, if you look closely enough, you find out that the bag is renewable, recyclable, and REUSABLE!! Film supposedly dated 1980, but the bag says Copyright 1997.

Movie Activist and Barf Buff (and cannibalism expert) Mark Monastyrski says, Cannibal Ferox "(now available on video and special edition DVD as 'Make Them Die Slowly') was originally released in the early 80s, but was recently re-released by Grindhouse (hence the newer copyright date) as a side note, the film is banned in Britian and is just as violent and sleazy as its reputation. When Grindhouse re-released CF theatrically and to video/DVD, they switched the title back to "Cannibal Ferox" but kept "Make them die slowly" as the film's tagline."

Now the odd thing about this bag is the bottom not only tells you that the bag is renewable, recyclable, and REUSABLE, but you're supposed to "Check to see if bag recycling facilities exist in your area". Well, I'll get right on that.

Film supposedly dated 1980, but the bag says Copyright 1997. Bruce Kelly, in a fit of obsession, tracked down the bag's designer to find this. He confirmed that only the two varieties exist.

Castle Freak

Background / Bag Color: White
Germany jumps on the splatterfest sickbag idea with Stuart Gordon's Castle Freak. Schizophrenic bag that can't decide whether it wants to be German or English. I am only guessing that the bag's date is 1995 because if you hold it up to the light, you can barely see '10/95' printed in the gusset.

This bag is a product of a British Reality TV Show where celebrities were instructed to start and run their own airline. This bag is just part of their efforts.

Chunder Bag

Received From: Bruce Kelly

Background / Bag Color: White
The Chunder Bag is one of the few commercial bags available for sale. You can buy them on their website

The copy on the bag is pretty entertaining for a barf bag. On the front, it says: Chunder Bag ™
Contain the mess, until you feel your best!
On the back it says:

Class of Nuke 'Em High

Approximate Vintage: 1986
Received From: Andrew Chrysostomou
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Well I don't really even know if this is a barf bag or not. It was advertised as such, so I snapped it up. The Class of Nuke 'Em High is a humor/gore movie that was released in 1986 about a school where people turn into mutants. So it stands to reason that they may have tried to promote it with a barf bag, but who really knows? The bag exhorts you to 'Be Prepared" for the movie, as if you're a boy scout or something.

At long last I finally got one, a promotional barf bag from the 1997 movie Con Air. Comes complete with text saying "A Jerry Bruckheimer Production" and "©Touchstone Pictures"

Dirty Sanchez

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Cesar Bautista
Print or Image Color: Red, Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Pretty much, this bag assumes you know what a Dirty Sanchez is. Hint: It's tangentially related to a Hot Carl. Your next stop is Wikipedia.

Anyway, these bags were distributed at a movie convention in Las Vegas in July 2007 to promote the opening of this movie.
