Welcome to Unsung Horrors with LUNs and Dereka. Leave all
your sanity behind. It can't help you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Welcome to another episode of Unsung Horrors, the podcast where
we discuss underseening horror films, specifically those which have fewer
than one thousand views on Letterboxed.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm Erica, I'm Lance.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
And this is our annual Horror Gives Back recap episode.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
It is.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
This is where we're going to go through all thirty
one days of our picks for our annual charity challenge,
where we ask people to donate a dollar or more
per horror movie they watched in October to charity. We
set up our own fundraiser for this, but you know,
there are plenty of people and I will shout them
out as well, who donated to other charities, more local charities,

(01:17):
especially those folks who are in other countries. And this
year was huge. Last year we raised over twenty five
hundred dollars and I thought that was amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yes, it was amazing. It definitely was.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It is I'm not discounting last year. Every year is
more and more amazing. But this year we raised about
twenty one hundred dollars and we had someone who very
kindly matched our donations, so the total sum ended up
being four two hundred and ten dollars through the fundraiser

(01:52):
to Best Friends Animal Society.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I can't. I got my phone up right now and
I'm looking at the number two hundred and ten percent
raise of our goal. It's mind boggling. So yeah, everybody
who donated, are we going to shout everybody?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm going to shout everybody out because thank you to
We had three anonymous donors, that's including our match donor,
Adam H. Matthew S. Actually there's two matt S's, but
one Matthews also took advantage of an employer match, so
there's probably more in there coming as well. So the
other matthew S, Matthew K, Matt C. There's a lot

(02:29):
of Matts, Dustin D, David H. Brandon T, Adam R,
Henry D, Jacob S, Robert S, Austin G. Brian C.
Will D, Jake R. Francisco O, Kelly K, Dan S,
Keith k Irvin H. Phil. I forgot your last initial.

(02:50):
I'm sorry, Terry E, Michael H, Craig d Ryan V
and Ryan B. And d Are Bermese Mountain Dog Guy.
And then we had some listeners who messaged or posted
that they donated to other charities that I do want
to shout out. Parker also donated to best Friends as
well as a local charity. We have a listener from Germany, Leonidas.

(03:14):
He donated to a local nature conservatory that is specifically
focused on bats.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That sounds amazing.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
I know, I love it. I love the real bats,
I love the fake bats. I've got a great I've
got a lot of bat talk in this episode coming.
So Sam Panico, our dear friend, he donated to a
local charity, and I mentioned Michael H earlier. He also
donated to best Friends Animal Society as well as Animal

(03:42):
Protection Denmark. Chris d donated to Brave Space Alliance in Chicago,
and John conn donated to a local charity and Doctors
Without Borders. So hundreds of dollars going to other charities
as well. I mean, this is amazing. I think probably
close to like forty five hundred when we count all
that stuff together. I wasn't gonna ask anyone, well, how

(04:05):
much did you donate, you know, nothing.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Like that, but I showed me the receipts.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, seeing and seeing so many people that we've seen
in the years past who have donated amazing. Thank you
so much for staying with us. What seeing the new
people that are joining on joining our discord. I mean,
Eric and I do this because we love talking about
horror movies and you know, the underseen horror films. But
this is why we do it, to build a community,

(04:33):
to get people involved. Yeah, I mean Best Friends Animal
Society Too is just a great organization. But every every organization,
everybody's been donating to it has just been fantastic.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Why I'm like gonna lie, Lance is crying. Gett a
little emotional here. Yeah, don't look at me. I look
like Leonardo DiCaprio ugly crying over here.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh well, I'm not gonna ugly craigs. I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Look like wri dern Oh please do no, All.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Right, we need to jump in. We have sixty plus
movies to go through. This is a long one stop
in folks.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It is, and sometimes you talk about two movies per
per category. I mean, I'm going to tell you right now,
please just pull it back.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
No, it's just everyone wants to hear every movie that
I watched in October.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Okay, like your whole life, every October of your October movie.
That's what it feels like sometimes. Okay, let's dive in.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, go for it. Let's start it. Let's start with you.
Universal horror lance.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Okay, Universal Horror. I went with The Spider Woman strikes
Back from nineteen forty six. This is directed by Arthur Lubin,
who directed The Phantom of the Opera the nineteen forty
three Universal version, starring Gail Saunderguard, who is reprising her
role of sorts as the Spider Woman from the Sherlock

(05:53):
Holmes movies. So there was a movie called The Spider
Woman in nineteen forty three starring My Favorite Home Watson,
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. This is not a sequel,
although it's. Yeah, she has a completely different name, but
she is called the Spider Woman other than that. So
she plays a blind woman, at least that's what everybody believes,

(06:14):
and she hires caretakers that end up disappearing, and she
has an excuse for all of them why they've left
to get married. Or something and a young woman from
out of town. She takes the job as a new
caretaker and she begins caring for her. Zenobia is her name,
the Spider Woman, and also has Rondo Hatton in it,
and he plays the servant. He's credited as Mario the

(06:38):
Monster Man in this. But every night Zenobia wants her
caretaker to drink this glass of milk that Mario serves her,
and it turns out the milk is making her sleep
and kind of pretty much knocking her out, puts her
in this deep sleep so that Zenobia can sneak into
her room to draw blood from her to feed to
her cannibalistic plans that she's created. So very kind of yeah,

(07:02):
very kind of little shop of hors which again I'm
waiting for the spider element to pop up. Yeah, And
like you know, Mario'll sneak off to the farms at night.
He injects the local cows with the poison, which apparently
kills a little girl in town after she drinks it.
They don't really give her age at all. Unfortunately, they'll
specify that it's verly it's poorly put together, and you

(07:23):
have kind of no idea where it's going until it's
revealed that Zenobia is poisoning the cows to make the
farmers leave town so that she can buy up all
their land her family once owned. So I guess she's
weaving some sort of spider web, like there's no real spiders.
Sometimes there's spiders on there on her plants, and she'll
pick them up and be like, oh hey, okay, but

(07:44):
she's not a spider woman. It's kind of it's strange.
But apparently this was supposed to be the first of
a series starring the Spider Woman, like the ones Universal
had for Dracula and Frankenstein. And it was the second
time Universal had had a spun off of a horse
series from the Sherlock Holmes movies, the first being The
Creeper from the Pearl of Death, the Sherlock Holmes movie

(08:07):
that co stars the brute man rond O Hatton, so
he's also the subject remember of Ron and Bob with
Robert Burns from Confessions of a Serial Killer, which is
a doc that's currently on tub But anyways, to me,
I felt it's a shame that it didn't get picked up.
It was poorly received. It helped kill off Universal second

(08:28):
horror cycle. But I would have loved to see Gail
saunderguard in this role, like a recurring universal horror role,
or because everything I've seen her in she's been super awesome,
is like a villainous. I did read too that the
director Lubin, said that he hated this movie and he
did not want to do it, but the studio threatened
to put him on suspension otherwise, so they kind of

(08:49):
forced him to direct it, and I guess he made
it as best as he could. I had fun with
it because of the performances and the weird twists and
the actual absolutely no link to a Spider Woman, and
a great score by Milton Rosen, who did the Creature
from the Black Lagoon score. So yeah, I recommend it.
I wish we would have seen more from the Spider Woman.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Okay. My universal was also Lubin directed, and it was
Phantom of the Opera nineteen forty three.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh nice.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
It is very not horror. I think we've sort of
lumped in a few figures into horror because they're universal
or even RKO some stuff. I'll talk about one of
those later. But the stars Claude Rains as a musician,
he is part of the symphony, and he is basically told,

(09:41):
you know, he has to leave the symphony because he's
having problems. He's too old. Now basically he's not keeping
app and he's a little out of tune. So you know,
he has an accident later on deforms his face. I mean,
I guess this is a good foundation foreople who are
unfamiliar with the story, Like if you've only seen Phantom

(10:02):
of the Paradise, like this would probably be a good,
you know, a good film to watch. Claude Rains is
not in it nearly as much as he should. There's
a lot of singing in this. I mean, it's like
I should have expected. I mean, it's an opera, so fine,
but there's just a lot and it really I didn't

(10:26):
hate it, but it was very like I'm never going
to watch this again. There is a funny relationship between
two of the suitors of the main opera singer woman,
a little bit of a competitive bromance between them, and
that was kind of cute. But really, like Claude Rains
is a star here, but he's not given nearly enough

(10:48):
screen time, so it's kind of a disappointment in that respect.
But I have the Universal Monster's box set. It's in
that and yeah that's fine.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I watched it years and years ago, and I
thought this same thing, like I needed more phanom this.
I get why it's in the Universal Horror, but it
doesn't feel like horror at all. Yeah, the Hammer Horror,
the Terrence Fisher one with Herbert Lohm, that's my favorite.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm gonna get to that one next.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, it's that one's worth watching for sure.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
All right, and then sequel. I watched the Prophecy two
from nineteen ninety eight. Oh, this is in a Vinegger
syndroom set that has Prophecy, Prophecy too, and Prophecy three.
Christopher Walkin is the star of this and the previous one,
and this is basically about good angels versus bad angels.

(11:35):
Christopher Walkin comes, he's resurrected. So I've seen the Prophecy
the original, but I don't remember how he was killed.
But apparently it was in somewhere that got paved over
in a parking lot, because that's like that's how he
comes back. Like this parking lot just like opens up
and there's like this just you know, hell gap and.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
He what the hell?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
I was in the road that was bad. Yeah, there's
a prophecy of a descendant of you know, a or
not a descendant in this case, but a woman and
an angel having a baby together, and that baby will
I don't know, bring balance to the force or some shit.
I don't know. Sorry, this was early in the month.

(12:16):
But anyway, this house, Christopher Walking in it. Obviously Danzig
is in this. What Danzig is in this, Eric Roberts
and Brittany Murphy is in this shit yeah, and so
and it's great because like Walking is hamming it up.
Britney Murphy ends up in the movie because she and

(12:37):
her boyfriend are in a car and they have a
and they have a pack to kill themselves, and so
they drive their car like into a wall and Christopher
Walkin comes along and like boops her and like and says, okay,
you're my like sidekick person now, and so she's just
like trudging along with him, like fuck, I just want
to be dead. And there their whole life dynamic is

(13:01):
a lot of fun. The movie is not good, but
it is certainly entertaining. I think there's there There was
one in particular scene where I'm like, you know what
this movie is missing, it's missing some George buck Flower. Yeah,
that would have brought it up a little bit. But honestly,
if you have the Vineger syndrome set, I would say

(13:21):
check it out. It's it's got a great cast and
it's really just dumb fun.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah. I feel like if there is a movie where
you think of George buck Flower, they're doing something right.
If you're like, he should be in this movie, yeah,
because it has that feel.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, what about you?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
For SQL Okay sequels, I went with The Crawlers from
nineteen ninety one, also known as Troll three hmmm and
also known as Contamination point seven, but much like Troll two,
this has nothing to do with the previous films Okay,
directed by Fribrizzio Laurenti, who did the Witchery. Some of
the scenes I learned were filmed by Joe Demato who's

(13:56):
on credited. But Larry Ravine was one of the cinema htographers.
We talked about him quite a bit because he shot
pretty much every Chuck Vincent film out there, right, deranged,
bad blood, all the good stuff. He's definitely my most
watched cinematographer of this year. I think I've watched nine
of his movies maybe ten with this also costume designed

(14:16):
by Laura Ginzer. So it's about radioactive trees in a
remote forest and their roots start coming up from the
ground and begin killing people and dogs. I know. That's
where I was like, Okay, you've crossed a line. The
trouble with this is it never shows the roots of
we actually killing anybody. It's like, there should be gore,

(14:38):
but there isn't until like over an hour into it,
where there are some gnarly hills and fun practical effects,
but most of the root killings beforehand are just like
they wrap around him. Made me think a lot of
Welcome Home, Brother, Charles. I should be watching that instead.
But yeah, but before they know, they show one dead
body and it's a girl with mud, like a mud

(15:00):
all over her. So it's like, okay, so that's what
the dead bodies look like. That there's no blood, there's
no gore. It's very strange, and it's mostly point of
view shots like the vines and evil dead coming up
at people. People just staring into the woods and yelling
before they're killed. Kind of a letdown in that regard.
But the acting is atrocious, which is so much fun

(15:21):
to watch too. Okay, very much like Miami Connection sort
of cast, but with Italian actors. Wild dubbing, of course,
like what you'd expect. Sounds like the same guy adding
the voices to all the Italian actors. Especially the dubbing
of the sheriff is really funny. He's fun to listen
to and watch because the voice is so not his
and I love when that happens. Very low rating on Letterbox,

(15:43):
which I kind of get because of how much of
a mess it is. But as I was watching it,
I kept thinking of like Appointment with Fear, but with
like an Italian version of it, to where it's just,
oh wow, poorly edited. You know, the cast is kind
of pulling me in, but at the same time it's like,
this is such a mess, but at the same time
very entertaining. I'll watch anything with Larry Ravine as DP.

(16:06):
But one thing I did like was the sound effects,
like the when the roots would pop up, it would
just be like a whip sound, so it'd be like
whoopsh and then like they just shoot out and start
strangling people. It's fun. Though it was a short run time.
I think I gave it like three Stars. Okay, then
for Philippines Day three, so I'll probably destroy this pronunciation

(16:31):
mutung too big, which is it translates to town in
a Lake from twenty fifteen, directed by Jet Laco, And
this one I was excited about because I had read
like comparisons to David Lynch. I actually watched this one.
I think this might have been my first watch because
it was potentially based on the reviews that I had

(16:53):
read my October pick. But I watched it and I
was like, Eh, you were going.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
To pick a movie from the twenty tens for this podcast.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, holy shit, yeah, yeah, twenty fifteen because it barely
had I forgot what it's at, maybe five hundred views, okay,
but it's about two young girls who are picked up
on this bridge kind of like Twin Peaks okay, in
the middle of the night by these kind of creepy
gross men, and they take them to the forest and
rape and kill one kind of like Twin Peaks, while

(17:22):
the other one runs away and she's chased. So right
away you kind of you don't know what happens to
the girl that runs away, and the cops start to
search team after finding the first young girl's body to
look for this other girl. So it does start off
very dark and uncomfortable because you're you're expecting the worst
seeing these three young girls being picked up on a

(17:43):
bridge by these older men in the middle of the night.
What's really effective in this is that there's no music
in it. It's just kind of these heavy sounds, a
heavy sound design, like you're like you're like you're sitting
in an airplane and the volume is a little off,
where like there's this constant rumble. Okay, you know, like
I always think of the shining when I hear or
watch movies like this, where there's kind of like a

(18:05):
drone going on that's just putting you at unease. So
it had great sound design, but literally, for like forty
five minutes, it's just like the town searching for this
missing girl and saying, like over and over again, like
how can this happen in our small town. It introduces
a few new characters, it gives off some tint scenes
here and there, some really nice looking landscapes, but it

(18:27):
takes forever to go anywhere. About an hour in finally
thanks start getting a little supernatural, which was what I
was hoping for, especially after reading all the previous reviews,
like about David Lynch movies and Twin Peaks, but it
was all just a little too cryptic for me. It's
just a bunch of people kind of just staring up
at the sky with like crazy drones, like they see

(18:48):
something and cut to the next scene. Yeah. Like I said,
a lot of the reviews had similar similarities to David
Lunch and I could see like the town coping with grief,
what happens to the young girls, some of the sound design,
but I don't see any of the similarities really. The
time spent on the characters was kind of Twin peakish,

(19:10):
but they're just not weird enough, you know, to get
sucked into. So I think I gave this three stars.
I did like like the sound design. Like I said,
it definitely puts you in a mood. I was just
in that mood. I was hoping for like a bigger
payoff or something to come off. But surprisingly this is
on two be and it's worth it's worth checking out. Okay.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
My Philippines pick was also on twob I watched blood
Thirst from nineteen seventy one, so this is about women
are being killed and drained of their blood. In Manila,
Philippine movie regular Vic Diaz is in this. He's a cop,
but he calls in his New York cop friend to

(19:51):
help him investigate, and really like the rest of the
movie is his New York cop going to the c
to talk to a lady and then leaving, and then
going back to the club and talking to someone else
there and then going back to the club. It's just
a lot of back and forth for most of the movie,
and I was getting very bored with it until the end.

(20:14):
There's a without spoiling too much of it, there is
a Henchman toxic Avenger knockoff who gets assaulted with a
fake leg in an underground layer. So it's the ending
is very fun. I will give it that. It's interesting

(20:36):
because the director of this was newt Arnold, and he
directed two other movies. One of them was Blood Sport
The Jean Claude Van Dambling. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Interesting, he's got.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Lots of ad credits though he's just got a weird
career in general. But yeah, I mean it's okay. The
ending really like kind of brought it home for me
and I was put a smile on my face.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
It like a prosthetic leg or a severed leg from
p prosthetic.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I'm yeah, so like a homeless guy, not George buck
Flower brings it should have been it should have been
uh yeah, brings his uh brings a heat with his
prosthetic leg as a weapons. Yeah, it was okay. It's
on two B. I wouldn't rush out to see it.
The quality of it's not great and black and white,
so when you have low quality and black and white,

(21:24):
it's already kind of hard to see a lot of
what's going on. So it was okay. And then birth year,
I watched Doctor Jekyl's Dungeon of Death from nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
This is on two B, nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
You're so young, Eric, I know, God, you're so fucking old.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I know. I'm gonna skip this next one.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, eighteen seventy eight, there's a Lance watchd shortened Illly film.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
So that's all that was available at the time. What
can I say?

Speaker 3 (21:57):
All Right, So I I'm gonnas by saying that I
think that you would love this movie because it is
tedious and repetitive, very stupid, oh yeah, and has a
little bit of horror and lots of wrestling.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
And Oh yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm watching Doctor Checkle's descendant has started basically a fight
club in his basement. He kidnaps people and tests them
with his grandfather's aggression serum, and then he pits them
against each other in the basement. Yeah. So my official
note was it's slow, it's stupid. I don't know why
this movie exists. Lance would probably love this. That was

(22:41):
my That was my last note that I wrote about this.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I just watch listed it, so thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, you're welcome. You know, this movie has a great
fucking poster though.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
It does, I will give it that. Okay. My birth here, yeah,
nineteen seventy eight, Im like, what about five months before you? Okay,
I'm just trying to say I'm not that much older
than Erica everybody. I went with Empire of Passion from
nineteen seventy eight, the Japanese movie directed by Oshima Nagasa.

(23:13):
That sounds right. He directed in the Realm of the
Senses and Merry Christmas, Mister Lawrence with David Billie. So
this one was good, this one. I had had this
one in my watch list. And what's funny is too
like when I look at my letterbox stats in the seventies.
Nineteen seventy eight is the lowest, is the year with

(23:35):
the lowest movie views, Like you see like a weird
Dip a little big Valley, So I need to watch
more nineteen seventy eight movies. But only one good thing
happened in nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, I was born.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Oh, very well done, well played. I knew I should
have strangled it with that umbilical cord, but yeah, this
one was good. It's about a rickshaw driver's wife who
begins sleeping with the man from the same village who
was twenty six youngers twenty six years younger than her,
And this young man decides to kill her rickshaw driving husband,

(24:11):
and she agrees to help him out, and they get
him drunk, strangle him, they throw his body in a well.
There's a great dummy drop of that, by the way.
I don't know if I put that in discord, but yeah.
She begins to tell the villagers that he left to
work to Tokyo, and three years later, people start wondering,
like where is he? Why didn't he ever come back,

(24:33):
including her two children, who are getting older obviously at
this point, and they begin asking questions. She begins to
see signs like the wheel of the rickshaw that's in
their house slowly spinning by itself, and villagers begin having
dreams about her husband being dead. Even her oldest daughter
begins having the stream too of seeing her dead father

(24:57):
and that he was murdered, and so she starts to
see her husband at night as a ghost, so does
the man who murdered him. And the village is claiming
that they're all being haunted by this rickshaw driver. So
an officer comes to investigate, and that's kind of when
everything starts kind of spiraling out of control visually. I mean,

(25:19):
there's not much. There's not much. I can't think of
anything bad to say about this. It's a little slow.
It's very slow burned, you know, it's like a haunted
ghost story, which you kind of expect when when watching
ghost stories. But it's I mean, like kind of perfectly produced,
and the technical aspect of it is just like a
treat for the senses. The director one best director it

(25:43):
can in nineteen seventy eight for this film. So, like
I said, beautifully shot by the cinematography. Who did Kaidan?
And what is it? Harricary? The human condition? He did
all those the cinematographers, so it's like I said, it's beautif.
This is a complete mood piece for sure. It does
have a surprising fulgy ie trauma scene. Oh fun fog

(26:07):
for days. The original scores amazing. Tru Takamitsu does the score.
It's just kind of a terrifying ghost story and it
does kind of sit with you, which I really really respect.
So I recommended Empire of Passion from the Great Year
of nineteen seventy eight watch listing, So nineteen nineties is next.

(26:27):
I went with The Bloody Beast from nineteen ninety four, okay,
by Tid directed by Taxiing Tom and Yong chu Wan.
I think this is in your This was in Sweetest Taboo.
I'm pretty sure positive it is Bloody Beast stoh milky, yes, yes, yeah.

(26:49):
It's about a very disturbed young man who's infatuated with breastfeed. Yeah,
starts getting kind of horny and killing women as well
as our children. And that's why it was in your book.
But this has h It has two of your favorite things,
child death, childkill and necrophilia. Pretty gross watching this kid
who's essentially becoming, I mean, the equivalent of a school

(27:11):
shooter before your eyes. Yeah, he's you know, as a kid,
he watched his mom breastfeed which stuck with him, and
later in life he begins watching his sister bathe and
have sex. He's just really gross, really uncomfortable scenes. And
there's a scene where the police taken some suspects and

(27:32):
because a lot of these victims have been raped, they
have these suspects masturbate to collect their semen, and so
they're like, well, what do we how do we do this?
And they're like here, they start giving them like centerfold magazines,
and they ask for like pictures of certain actresses, and
I'm like, what the silly silly stuff. Overall, I really
liked it, but I thought it was a bit slow

(27:55):
and added a little too much humor that I just
didn't really find that funny. I wasn't like, you know,
cackling and having like a great time. A lot of
the scenes were funny, like especially the masturbation one. But
the whole movie's told in a flashback with the killer
telling like some prison guards about the killing. They really
had him before his execution. They wanted to know why

(28:16):
he did the killings, and he never really explains that
he just kind of explains the murders. So I kind
of wanted less of the just the creepy guy smiling
by himself holding a knife, because there's a lot of
scenes of that. Like, I know he's crazy upfront. I
don't need the entire movie to keep reminding me this
just watching him peep on women and laughing in a
room or outside by himself. Like give me more of

(28:40):
the you know, breastfeeding and him like fucking just killing
kids and all the women he does. But I think
I gave it three stars. I enjoyed it, but it
didn't like hit home for me.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Okay, so my nineteen nineties pick I switched it after
are going to Weird Wednesday and we're going to have
our episode about Doppelganger from nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I am so excited to watch this because a lot
of people from our Discord channel have been watching it. Yeah,
it's like their their reviews and feedback. I'm like, this
better blow me out of the water.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
It will, I promise.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, that's what they said, and it has promis.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I'm very con and I'm so excited to talk about it,
and I know our listeners are excited to hear about it.
I think even one of our listeners from Australia mentioned
it got a Blu Ray release there, oh yeah, and
he was like yeah, I was not even looking at it,
and then I saw your review and now I'm like interesting, I'm.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like, that's what I'm talking about, That's what we do.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
So then vampires. I watched the Return of the Vampire
from nineteen forty three. I grabbed this one from the library.
So a recurring theme throughout my Horror Gives Back this
month is related to my memoriam pick. So Lee Gambin,
who contributed a lot to special features and Blu Ray releases.

(30:08):
I picked a lot of movies where he made a contribution,
and Bill Ackerman actually made a list of all of
the things that Lee Gambin contributed to, so it made
it very easy for me to find these movies. Thank you, Bill.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
So yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Lee Gambon provided the audio commentary for the Shout Factory release.
This is starring Bella Lagosi as not Dracula, but as Tesla.
But it's I mean Stracula really anyway, Tesla has this
Werewolf ren Field that looks like, I don't know, like

(30:41):
Corey ham fucked a Scottish terrier or something. It's weird.
There's lots of fog. It's a little goofy with some
bumbling cops and a woman takes the reins on the investigation.
There's not a van helsing in sight. So it's a
very standard vampire store where you know they're Henson title

(31:02):
like Return of the Vampire. Like they're not calling them Durracula,
they're calling.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Them Tesla, armand Tesla.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, armand Tesla. There you go. Yeah, I mean it's
very standard vampire movie. Bel Lugosi is in it, so
you can't really like go wrong, but you know it's
going to feel like a Dracula movie to you, as
it should. But the bumbling cops took a little bit
out of it for me, like it didn't it felt.
I mean, it is a horror comedy essentially because of that,

(31:33):
so which I'm like about. But yeah, I'd recommend it. Yeah,
Shot Factory's got a release. You can check it out
there or go to your local library if they have it.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Did you check out the special special features?

Speaker 3 (31:45):
I did not have time to. I was just trying
to get, uh watch the movies that he contributed to
that's awesome. So but I think yeah, because like there
were some where I think all the ones I picked
were audio commentaries, so I was like, i'n't have time
for double watch is this month?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, that's a great idea though. That's that's that's good.
That's a good tribute.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Thank you. What about you? For vampires?

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I watched Vampire with a y. I'm here Vampire from
I say, Vampire from nineteen ninety, directed by Bruce G. Hallenbeck.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Oh, I'm bigging Vampire. Like, okay, you're.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
So you're thinking of the Carl Theodore Drive.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, yeah, okay, never mind.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
This has an e at the end Vampire okay.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Like a funeral pyre got it?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
But it is apparently so I started writing, I was
fascinated by this movie. It's a shot on video kind
of dryer remake, vampire remake. Oh okay, but I said,
by way of Genreland and Todd Sheets.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh wow, that's an intersection of.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
It because it's very diy. But also it is so
atmospheric and all the vampires are walking around beautiful women,
you know, in beautiful cloak see through gowns. The fog.
It looks like it was shot like in the seventies,
which is very impressive for a shot on video. And
you know an awesome example where you know they just

(33:11):
hownd Beck just ignores budget limitations for its ambitious ideas
and screenplay. He kind of, I don't know, you're forced
to ignore the wooden performances and the melodramatic dialogue, which
I appreciated, but it can be a big turn off.
But he scratches all that out with fog machines. Most
of the scenes seem to be shot at dusk and dawn.

(33:32):
It's just like this hazy dream that goes on way
too long. It'll put you to sleep, and I'll put
you asleep in the most comfortable ways. Okay, But it's
about a young boy whose family is killed by vampires.
So as a child, he goes after them and kills
them off. And many years later a small town is
being overrun by vampires and he's called on to help,

(33:54):
and it happens to be that the head vampire when
he was a child. Her name is Marguerite Chopin. She
is raised from the dead, very much like Christopher Lee
in the Hammer films. You know, blood trips on her grave.
She's back in this different village or I think it's
the same village he just left as a kid. And
she starts walking around naked, wearing only a kate like

(34:15):
panties some high heeled boots. Sometimes she rides a horse,
which is very captivating. She's a cool she's a bad
ass head vampire. There's a character named doctor Dryer, so
there's a lot of homages and stuff pop it up.
At the hour mark, you start feeling the runtime definitely overstays.

(34:36):
It's welcome, but I liked it overall. It does have
a great body dissolve hammer horror scene, you know, where
they just slowly. I really appreciated that, of course, and
I just have so much respect of what Hallan Beck,
the director pulls off. It has a score too. I
had note here that it does its best to rip
off Semonetti's Demon score. So the score is very again

(35:00):
pulling inspiration from other movies, but it really really works,
and I think it works great watching for the Halloween
season because it's it's definitely mood setting. It feels like
this time of year, so I really enjoyed it. Vampire Vampire,
however you want to say it from nineteen ninety okay,
vampire and then fifties it's still me right. I watched

(35:22):
The Witch from nineteen fifty two, also known as Return
of the Witch. This is a finish movie directed by
I'm Gonna Kill It roland A F. Halstrom. It's about
some archaeologists digging in an area and coming across the
body of a witch.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Where did you watch this? I've been meaning to.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I think I watched it on YouTube?

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Really okay? Maybe okay, sick. Yeah, I watched this for
a while, like the turquoise poster one right, yeaheah, okay.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Great poster. I've had that. I've had this one on
my watch list for quite a bit too short run time.
But yeah, these archaeologists kind of pop up. The villagers
know the uh, the three hundred year old kind of
story about this witch who was buried in the area,
and they're freaked out, while when the archaeologists hear about it,
they're all like, oh, let's dig her up, like if

(36:12):
this is really her. So there's a scene where you know,
they hit like, I don't think it's a coffin. I
think they just see like a skeleton hand. And then
that night the weather becomes quickly very bad, and while
it's beginning to rain and thunder outside, they go out
to cover the grave and when they arrive, there's a
naked woman in the grave, just laying there, and that

(36:33):
most believe it's the witch, but some, you know, a
lot a lot of people who are like, there's no
such thing as a wish, no such thing as a witch.
They think it's a woman who was just happened to
be walking by and was struck by lightning, so all
her clothes were burned off and she has no recollection
of why she's there. So it's kind of a cool
little mystery, like you start thinking, like, is this the witch?
Is it not the witch? And it kind of it

(36:55):
does a good job at kind of playing with your
your theory, and they take her in very quickly, and
to me it becomes a parent that she is a witch.
But they do they do good job trying to throw
you off. Okay, but I'm like, it's the title of
the movie is called the Witch, like, come on. But
she's very confused. And then they find out too. Another story,
a little kind of subplot they bring in is that

(37:17):
a woman in a village a little further outside of
the town they're in they she lost her lunatic daughter
is what they called her, and they're like, oh, this
is her. We're sending for her to come and verify
that we found her daughter. So we kind of sit
on that for a while while she has like kind
of kind of these spells and stuff. Mainly it's about

(37:39):
turning all the men jealous against each other because they're
falling in love with this woman and some of the
women are, you know, getting very jealous of her as well.
The witch. So the woman finally shows up, you know,
and says like, that's not my daughter, and it's a
very very telling scene and you kind of realize this
has got to be the Witch. But it has some

(38:00):
pretty good humor, some scary moments, like horses begin dying,
cows are milking blood instead of milk, which is kind
of cool to see. It's all in black and white,
so it looks really great. The actor who's playing the
main witch is just incredibly beautiful, like, and she's naked
quite a bit. Nay, but like the ending is kind

(38:22):
of man, I'm not gonna spoil it, but it becomes
kind of like love conquers all type of things, kind
of a sappy letdown, but I thought it's definitely worth
the watch. It's a short run time. I think I
gave it like three and a half stars because I did.
I like the way it looked, I like the actors,
the sound, I mean everything was. I was captivated until

(38:42):
kind of the ending. Okay, yeah, what about you. For fifties,
I watched.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
The Werewolf from nineteen fifty six. This was on to me.
It's also in the Arrow Cold War Creatures box set.
Lee Gambon contributed in audio commentary for it. It's about
a man who arrives in a small town, but he
doesn't know who he is, and he wanders into a bar.

(39:09):
He ends up getting in a fight in an alley
with another drunken man and ends up killing him, but
the witness who saw him run away swears it was
some kind of beast, so the sheriff starts investigating, and
it turns out that the man, Duncan Marsh, had been
in a car accident and that the doctors who found

(39:31):
and quote unquote helped him. They made him part of
an experiment which turned him into a werewolf. So it's
kind of a neat like there is a full moon
element to it, but how he turns into a were
wolf is not the traditional way of you know, he
got bit by a wolf kind of thing. So yeah,
I mean it's I like that. It's a different angle

(39:51):
of being science and not were wolf mythology at the
root of this. It makes a little bit different, you know,
nineteen fifties, you know, kind of breezy sci fi horror.
It's entertaining, but it can get a little repetitive and
very talky because it is also nineteen fifty sci fi,
so you have that. I liked it. It was cute.

(40:12):
And then Spain, I watched Curse of the Vampire or
Vampire Peer from nineteen seventy two. This was on Noodle.
I have an AD blocker though, so I didn't see
the porn. I know. So doctor Dora mader Leak mader Lick.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
This does belong on Noodle? Okay. She's called to a
nearby castle in a small Spanish village to cure the
father of Baron Carl von Riiselbert.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I know, maer Lick Rislerbert.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Yeah, I know. It's a lot. So the father suffers
from some strange blood disease or is it a blood disease. Yeah,
it turns out everybody in this town believes in vampires here,
and everyone just gets really worried when there's a full
moon for some reason. It's interesting because you know, you

(41:12):
mentioned like a sort of genre on sensibility in your
vampire film, and this has that as well to a
certain extent. It's very standard eurohrror vampire movie. But it
feels like the director, Jose Maria l Arietta, watched a

(41:33):
few genre on movies, took some notes, and then decided
to make his own. So it's missing something that I
can't really pinpoint, Like it checks all of the boxes,
like it's got a lot of nudity and like lots
of you know, beautiful shots, and maybe it's there's too
much dialogue and just not enough mood because I feel

(41:55):
like genrel on movies are very heavy mood. Like Yeah,
So I don't know, it's fine. It's I think it's
worth a watch, but not worth rushing into it. I
would just maybe rather pop on any genre on movie
before this, But I don't know. The women are all
extremely beautiful in this, so it's nice eye candy as well.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Yeah about you for Spain, for Spain. I went with
A Candle for the Devil from nineteen seventy three, also
known as It Happened at Nightmare In, directed by a
Uhineo or Eugene as it's listed on the opening credits
here a Uheneo Martin, who also directed Horror Express The
Ugly Ones with Tomasi Miilion. So there are multiple different

(42:39):
edits out out there of this, and I started watching
one on two B with the title it Happened at
Nightmare In, which is about an hour thirteen minutes, and
I noticed, like the first murder, which happens pretty soon,
pretty quick, it seemed heavily edited, so it was like entry.

(43:00):
So I looked up another one on YouTube under the
same title, which runs for only sixty seven minutes, and
I realized these are both heavily edited. It removes all
pretty much all the nudity and most of the gore
scenes and the murders. So I looked up A Candle
for the Devil, which obviously is a title of the
real title of the movie on YouTube, and there's a

(43:22):
channel called visual Ventures which has the full hour twenty
seven minutes that shows everything. So I edited it's very clean.
It's like the restored version, probably from the recent release
and recent I think it was like the last five
years or so. But watch that, don't watch it Happened
at Nightmare and look for a candle for the Devil
if you decide to watch this, because I love this movie.

(43:43):
It's about two older sisters who run a hotel and
they in the very first scene, they immediately kick out
a woman who is staying there, and she's sunbathing on
the roof, and you know, they're calling her a hussy
and saying this isn't a whorehouse, and they push her
down stairs on the way down or on the way
down from the roof, which kills her. And one of

(44:05):
the sisters say that they are God's hand of justice
and that it was divine intervention that she died. So
then and then the whole plot turns into this murder.
Woman's sister arrives looking for her, and we kind of
follow her as other women staying at the hotel begin
to disappear, meaning that the sisters are murdering them. But
both sisters are super religious, but they're also very horny.

(44:31):
One sister is hornier than the other. She begins sleeping
with a younger man who works at the hotel, while
one sister in particular is very mean and more so
religious than the other. But I just loved watching these
two actresses command like every scene. They're so captivating. They
have their differences, but when they murder together, it seems
like they're kind of bonding, so they kind of like,

(44:51):
you know, protect each other in this weird way. But like,
as much as I like their performance, it's like they're
essentially the worst of the hardcore religious, which is like
people with different beliefs deserve to die because basically they think,
like this woman, oh, she has a child, but it's
out of you know, it's out of wedlock, so she's
like a servant of evil. So it's very interests. It's

(45:13):
hard to watch, like some of the stuff's really uncomfortable,
but their performances are so good. They're kind of rooting
for him, like, yeah, kill them, like kill them all.
And it's a great original score by Antonio perez Ole
who did the score for The Blood Spattered Bride. Yeah,
very cool music. The ending wasn't what I was expecting,

(45:34):
which was bittersweet because at first it was kind of
a letdown, But then the more I think about it,
the more I like it, and I'm like, yeah, it
totally fits, and this is this is something that I'll
totally watch again. I even considered it for like No
Rules November. This is this is a great movie. I
totally recommend it again. Watch the one for the Candle
for the Devil on YouTube Visual Adventures and then Unsung

(45:57):
Horrors Rules. Next. I went with Way Bad Stone A. Yeah,
so listen to the episode because it's a banger.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
The movie and the episode exactly.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
That's what I mean. Oh okay, and the movie's a
banger directed by Archie Wall. I mean it's we talk
about why it's a banger, yes, but the episode's even better. Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
So I went to Hong Kong for my Unsung Horrors role.
Pick I watched Return of the Demon from nineteen eighty seven.
I did have to get this on Lingal Adjacent, but
well worth it because this is one of my favorites
from the month. It's a Hong Kong horror comedy that
feels like they were writing it as they were making it.

(46:38):
So it begins with a group of explorers who are
looking for some kind of treasure, but they accidentally resurrected demon.
Now the demon needs to resurrect forty nine times to
gain immortality or something like.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
That Zicket Dungeons and Dragons game.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Okay, heard.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Speaking of wayback Stone?

Speaker 3 (47:04):
All right, So a Taoist priest and his apprentice show
up and explain all of this, and then they all
team up to track down the demon to stop it.
But then they get sidetracked after the priest uses a
spell where he can take some fur from a dog
in order to gain its tracking and smelling capabilities so
that they can track the demon. Something goes wrong with

(47:26):
the spell and he ends up turning into a werewolf.
And this side plot goes on for literally like thirty minutes. Okay,
so they forget about the demon completely after that's result.
Then it turns into a Haunted House movie for another
long stretch before it finally gets back to the demon,
like the demon shows up at the Haunted House. So

(47:49):
it's a lot of fun. I laughed out loud a
few times. Probably it's some stuff that others would find offensive.
It's a shitty LaserDisc grip on YouTube or not on
YouTube that I downloaded. I would love to see this
one restored and released.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
It was it was fun, awesome, that sounds great.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, and then the next is Michael Ironside. Yeah, and
I watched a movie that isn't quite horror. It has
the horror tag on it, but after I watched it,
I was like, yeah, this is more of a thriller.
I watched Hostile Takeover from nineteen eighty eight. This was
on YouTube. Great poster by the way, if you guys

(48:27):
look it up. This is also starring David Warner and
John Vernon. So Warner's character takes three co workers hostage
over Thanksgiving weekend. So Thanksgiving movie if you guys are looking,
I guess coming up though. Actually, though the holiday itself
is barely mentioned, it just happens to be like, oh,

(48:47):
long holiday weekend, Like they're not very upset about missing
out on, you know, the stofer stuffing. Anyways, so maybe
it doesn't really deserve a place on Thanksgiving horrorless, but
any it's on some Thanksgiving horror less I saw, and
I was.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Like, well, is Michael Ironside one of the hostages.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Michael Ironside's one of the hostages. It's weird because it's
hinging on the fact that Warner's character has no demands
and he doesn't give a reason for taking these people hostage,
Like it's not like, oh, my son died because of
something the company did or something, you know, like they
all work there. He gives no explanation. He's just like,

(49:28):
I don't have a reason. I don't have any demands.
I'm just doing this. So it's weird and it just
but I do like pressure cooker movies like this, Michael
Ironside's a lot of fun in it. I mean, everyone's great.
Actually it's this one is really about the performances. But
it's really not a horror movie at all, So don't
go in expecting that and you probably enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Nice, Michael Ironside. For me, so again, mine also is
very little horror. It's more so like a sci fi melodrama.
But there are murders going. I think in my letterbox
review I put Days of Our Lives in Space because
it's called murder in Space.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
From nineteen eighty five, directed by Stephen Hilliard Stern who
directed Rolling Vengeance and The Park is Mine with Tommy
Lee Jones. So this is a made for TV US
Canadian production movie. I think it was aired in both
both countries about and it's about a crew of an
international space station who are scheduled to return to Earth

(50:32):
in a few days, but someone begins killing off crew
members one by one, and I read. On its initial
worldwide premiere, the film was shown without the ending and
a competition was set for the viewers to solve the
mystery of who the murder or murderers are.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Oh, that's some will and castle ship.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
That's fine. Yeah, it's a great marketing scheme. And the
conclusion of the film was shown several days later, with
the contestants being eliminated one by one until the winner
correctly identified the killer or the killers and in the
final fifteen minutes of the film was shown again on
a later date and that's when everybody was revealed. Prizes
were apparently awarded when the conclusion was shown a few

(51:13):
days later. So Michael ironside the reason for this movie.
He is the judge, jury, and executioner in this He's
playing this hard nosed captain that the crew are all
put off by because of his no nonsense attitude. So
right away he's a suspect, right But it has a
great cast of character actors in here. Martin Balsam plays

(51:35):
a Soviet liaison officer. He's always great. Wilford Brimley plays
a completely put off US official diabetes. Yeah, he's probably
I mean, he's probably so pisstock because his blood sugar
levels or off or something, but he's he plays Wilford
Brimley to a d because he's Wilford Brimley. It's really

(51:56):
cool because there's a secret gay relationship happening between two
men on the Internet International Space Station, between a German
and American man. So I'm sure a lot of people thought, like, Okay,
the gays are committing the murders because they're trying to
hide this secret. You know, nobody knows. But they conversed
a lot and I was like, respect to this, like

(52:17):
it's probably didn't see a whole lot of that in
the early eighties. But yeah, you're to guess the killer,
because you know that's the whole mystery, who's killing everybody
on this this space lab. I'm just going to give
a spoiler alert. Are we okay with it? Should I
not give away?

Speaker 3 (52:30):
You can give the spoiler people skip ahead ten seconds.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Skip ahead ten seconds. I mean, it turns out it's
different people killing each other. So how anybody figured this out?
I have no idea. They're all killing each other for
like dramatic reasons like oh yeah, I used to love
this girl and I used to love this person. Super
silly stuff. Kind of a letdown, but it made me
smile at how convoluted and stupid it was. Okay, it
also spends like that. I guess it was the twenty

(52:54):
minute episode the finale to explain everything in previous scenes
we've all watched, so it's it's funny. I totally respect
the marketing idea, like you said, very William Castle, but yeah,
I think I gave it like two and a half stars.
I won't watch it again. But Michael Ironside's great as
for the other cast members. Okay, Ghosts Day eleven chugging

(53:18):
right along. This is one I've also had in my
watch list for years. It's The Woman in Black from
nineteen eighty nine, the British made for TV horror directed
by Herbert Wise, adapted from the nineteen eighty three novel
of the same name by Susan Hill. You can certainly
feel the commercial breaks in this, which it's not too bothersome,

(53:40):
but you realize very quickly that this isn't made for
TV movie. It takes place in the mid twenties. It
does a good job setting this up because one of
the first scenes is these young men are laughing. They're
having like they're all kind of talking at a desk
and they're all laughing. And then the protagonist shows up
and they ask, have you seen the new Charlie Chaplain
filmed the gold Rush? So I was like, yeah, this

(54:02):
is the twenties. I got it. But it's about an old,
wealthy woman who passes away, and this firm sends a
young solicitor to attend the funeral and spend a week
or so to take care for a state and belongings.
And he begins seeing a creepy woman in black popping
up all over the place, and he starts hearing what
sounds like a horse drawn carriage falling into the marsh

(54:24):
that this this house that he's staying at is located on.
And he hears a woman screaming and a young child
screaming like they're drowning in the marsh. Erica, this thing
pretty much revolves around dead children.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Yeah, by the way, yeah, there's this one. And then
there's like the remake with Harry Potter.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
With Daniel Radcliffe, Yeah, which I had watched years ago
and I did not care for it. It's a Hammer
Films production, which and they did a sequel, I think
like a few years later. I found that one incredibly boring. Yeah,
but this one's specifically about a six year old boy
who dies drowning in the marsh, which leads to other
children dying around in that area. The ending is fucking terrific.

(55:02):
It's the reason why it should be in your book.
Is it in your book? Is it not? I don't
know if it was.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Maybe maybe I got so put off by the Harry
Potter one that I was just like, I'm watching the other.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Well, this one's worth mentioning if it's not. It's got
beautiful foggy landscapes, you know, marshes on the coast of
a small European town, very gothic and haunting. And I
watched this one just a few days ago when it
became overcast and drizzly here in Austin, so it's kind
of perfect fucking weather.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
Is meaning goddamn tees right now it's fucking rain.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
I did not see this one, so I'm adding it
to my even More Child Kills list. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Yeah, it's it's good. So yeah, like I said, the
Daniel Radcliffe one I watched, I wasn't a fan of.
It's another ghost story, so it's very, very, very slow burn.
I kind of was feeling the run time. You know,
sometimes these are hit or missed. For me, this one
kind of wasn't my cup of tea because it is
so so slow, and we get what the ghost is,

(56:04):
we get what why it's happening pretty quick. I didn't enjoy.
They do pop in a few kind of clues and
stuff here and there, but for the most part you're
just kind of repeating the story and the hauntings for
two hours. But the ending, that ending a chef's kiss.
It's what kind of like, I think most people watch
this and if they're feeling what I'm feeling, like, get

(56:25):
on with it, like this is kind of boring that
happens and you're like jolted up and you're like, this
is the best movie ever. I gave it like three
three stars. I didn't like. I did take into account
how long it took to get there, but I love
the way it looks, how it's filmed and that ending
is something that everybody should experience once. Awesome you your next.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Yeah. My ghost pick is burn In one that I've
been saving. I finally watched ghost Watch from nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I still have never seen this. Oh I'm gonna I'm
gonna admit it here.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
And that's the thing, Like somebody posted in discord about like, oh,
I'm embarrassed to say I finally watched I think it
was Scanners or something, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no,
we don't shame anybody. We don't get embarrassed about anything
we haven't seen.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
But you've never seen skinners. I mean I hate when
that happens, I know.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
But the thing is is like when, yes, maybe sometimes
the initial reaction to something is shock, but it's like
this shock is more based in like, oh my god,
you're in for such a treat.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Yeah, it's almost like an envious thing. Yeah, oh my god,
I wish I was you. Yeah, and you.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
Get to watch it for the first time and experience
in that. And I'm glad I still have movies like
ghost Watch to watch because that means, like I've said
this before, like I'm not going to be stuck watching
like you know, Made for two the Originals for the
rest of my life. I still have plenty of movies
like this in my life that I haven't seen, so
I'm glad I got around to it. I will loan

(57:51):
you my Blu ray that I got if you would
like to watch it for next year's Horror gives back
if you save it for then. Yeah. So from the
letterbox descript directly. For Halloween nineteen ninety two, the BBC
decides to broadcast an investigation into the supernatural. Hosted by
TV chat show legend Michael Parkinson, assisted by Michael Smith

(58:13):
or Mike Smith, Sarah Green and Craig Charles and a
camera crew, they attempt to discover the truth behind the
most haunted house in Britain. This groundbreaking live television experiment
does not go as planned. So this was broadcast on
TV without a disclaimer that this was fake. So this
gets compared a lot of times to Wells War of
the Worlds, even though I think there technically was a

(58:34):
disclaimer on that if I'm remembering correctly. John actually told me,
of course he knows this, told me that a kid
killed himself a few weeks after this aired because he
was hearing the pipes banging in his house and he
thought it was the ghost from this Oh shit, yeah,
the power of cinema. Yeah. So a lot of people
call this found footage, and I guess that's partially or

(58:58):
technically true, but this is more like that. To me,
it's I didn't see it. It seemed more like that
new movie Late Night with a Devil, or like the
footage isn't technically found right or set up that way,
because this was intended as like a live broadcast for
people to watch in real time. And like, I guess

(59:18):
if you're watching it after the fact, maybe it feels
like found footage. But if you watched it in real time,
which I think. I think it was either Henry or
Jim in our discord that said like they watched this
on TV when it aired, which I'm so envious, Like
that's amazing. But if this is found footage, it's one
of the greatest ever made. Like this is up there
with like if you're you know, Cannibal Holocaust as far

(59:41):
as found footage goes. Like I gave this four and
a half out of five. I it, I loved it.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Yeah, I'm excited to watch it because every review and rating,
and everybody I follow on letterbox it's always positive and high.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
So yeah, this is like an annual watch for so
many people. And I'm like, I've never seen it, but
you know what, I also had never seen Trick or
Treat until I wrote the book, And fuck that movie,
dumbla Sam.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
It's fun, you know it's not. That's I think that's
Cody's favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Cody loves that movie, and every time you post about it,
I just want to vomit. Sorry, I'm a hater.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Apparently there's also movie you probably hate called Tales of Halloween,
which I thought it's great Halloween vibes.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
I Adam Sandler one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Now that's hoopy Halloween. You need to watch. You need
to You need to watch hoho Bey Halloween with captions
because you can't understand anything. Sandler say. I rewatched that
for stop it. You should watch it. No, and the Monsters, No,
let's stop.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Okay, physical media, I have two to talk about. So
the first one I watched was The Strange World of
Coffin Joe from nineteen sixty eight. This is an anthology.
This was in the Coffin Joe box set from Arrow
by the Way, So The film is an anthology. There's
three unconnected stories, no wrap around, so the title actually fits.

(01:00:58):
That is very coff you know, things are just happening,
you know, very coffin Joe. That's his world. So the
first is about a doll maker and his three beautiful
daughters and a gang of thugs overhears that the doll
maker doesn't use a bank, so they decide to rob
him and things go don't go well for them. The
second's really really interesting. It has no dialogue, and it

(01:01:19):
follows a man who's obsessed with a young woman but
never talks to her. And it takes place over several months,
maybe even years, but by the end he finally gets
a nerve do approach her, but not the way that
he wanted to. And the last one is a torture
chamber segment, and I give me throw a torture chamber
and anything, and I'll fucking watch it, even one where
it's Doctor Jekyl and wrestling, I'll watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
But hell yeah, I'll watch that a heartbeat.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Yeah. I love coffin Joe and his movies. I hadn't
seen this one before, so looking forward to finishing off
the rest of the ones. That I haven't seen. And
then my other physical media pick was Sex Demon from
nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Oh nice, this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Is an AGFA blu ray. Liz Purcell found this lost
film and played a big part in this release. She
has commentary tracks on all three of the films that
are on the release. But I've only watched Sex Demon
so far. It's just under an hour long, and it's
sort of a ripoff of the Exorcist. And I say
sort of because it's really only about a guy getting

(01:02:22):
possessed by a demon through a cursed amulet, and then
a couple of similarities. I don't want to tell anyone
how to make their gay exoruss sex film, but there
are a few obvious missed opportunities here. First, let Jesus
fuck you? Can we not find a guy named Jesus

(01:02:43):
at the club and that he goes to like they're
one of the characters goes to the club constantly like
why do we not have a Hazus there? Why do
we not have a let Hazus fuck you? Second, there
is no crucifix at the as. This seems like a layup.
That one's right there. Third, I feel like the couple
could have gone to a party at a friend's house

(01:03:05):
and then Jim, he's the guy who gets possessed. He
goes to the bathroom or something, and when he comes
back he says something like you're gonna die out there,
not like you're not like to the Astronaut where Reagan
says you're going to die up there, but he says
you're going to die out there. So you have a
close enough line to the Exorsist but not quite enough

(01:03:25):
to get sued. But then instead of pissing on the carpet,
he jerks off. Why is it come? I mean, like
again again, I don't want to tell anyone how to
make your your Exorcist, you know your you're gay Exorsist
ripoff film.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
But come on, right there, the jerking off on the
carpet sounds awesome. That's what you're saying it should should
have been should.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
I'm given the ideas here? Like I mean, I think
it's definitely worth watching. I think any Exorcist ripoff is
worth watching. There's one scene in particular that is gonna
make you go WHOA, oh so worth it for that alone.
Definitely worth watching. Tons of special features on this extra

(01:04:07):
films on.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
This Yeah, and other sextem minut and other hauntings. It
is currently on cell on the Malucine site.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
Yeah, pick it up for Black Friday, folks, throw it in,
throw it into your throw it into your order for
your Black Friday. At Benegar Syndrome. So physical media lance.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
I went with Doors Wishman's A Taste of Flesh from
nineteen sixty seven. This is from the AGFA Something Weird set.
This particular one is in the Moonlight Years set or
the blue one, the blue cover which they're so well
put together with the magnetic covering if you get the
actual boxes that they're in. What is this? I had
mentioned that during the Legacy of Satan episode when I

(01:04:43):
watched the amazing transplant from her set, was that was
from the other one. I think that I've been having
such a blast going through Doris Wishman films and these
AGFA releases, and a Taste of Flesh has been my favorite.
This has been my favorite. So the plot is it's
not too horror. I think the horror elements are a

(01:05:05):
lot of the some of the dream scenes they have,
which can be very psychoesque looking and feeling. But it's
about these two hitmen who break into an apartment and
hold the women in the apartment hostage while they wait
and peek out their window to assassinate a foreign dignitary
who is visiting the hotel across the street. So kind
of a cool, it's cool little premise. They're taking a

(01:05:28):
perfect location to kill somebody, so it's straightforward in that regard.
But the odd relationships that are established during the runtime
are really odd and fun to watch. One of the
girls obviously quickly falls in love for one of the
asseet the assassins, which is fun to watch, and then
everybody starts having these weird dreams about each other. There's

(01:05:48):
another like gay relationship that's really set up in dream
sequences that is such a beautiful scene to watch. I
just it's very very well put together. But I was
just impressed overall by how sucked in I was with
such like a bare bones plot. Nothing exciting really happens,
but the camera work is visually like captivating in this

(01:06:10):
one single location, that surreal, dreamy dream sequence. Actually most
of it is kind of it starts bleeding together and
how kind of hazy it is in the atmospheric, like
you don't know what's real. But if anyone decides to
watch this, I recommend skipping past the two minutes of
opening credits, which basically gives the entire movie away, and

(01:06:31):
single shots like oh, Dick, Dick, like okay, you're going
to see this person get murdered, or you're going to
see what happens in this stream. I always think it's
funny when movies do that. I think it's super silly
and it makes me so smile. But if you are,
if you don't want anything spoiled, I would just kind
of skip past that. Even if the music is fun
to listen to, little jazzy usually Door Swishman music. But yeah,

(01:06:53):
I'm really looking forward to continually going through all these
agfas something Weird sets. Then for nineteen sixties, I went
with Love After Death from nineteen sixty eight, also known
as Unsatisfied Love. This is also an AGFA and Something
Weird Blu ray release a few years ago, so spoiler alert.

(01:07:13):
I did a lot of I called this was an
audible too. I changed my list quite a bit, especially
when I was halfway through Horror Gives Back, because by
like October twentieth, I'd only watched nine movies.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
I was like, fuck, well, you were in Germany for
the movies.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
I wasn't. I was in Germany for a while and
jet like at me hard. I was laid out for
Chre's a lot of my picks too, and I picked
like a lot of short run time movies after that,
and I'm glad I did because I've enjoyed all of them.
Love after Death is one of them, pretty much a
softcore horror about a man who's buried alive by his
wife who's having an affair with his doctor who signed
the death certificate. So the man named Mantel, he has

(01:07:51):
a history of catalyptic fits. When he experiences one day
time it to where everybody thinks he's dead and they
bury him. So kind of cool idea, and you know
they're going to get his money and all that good stuff.
But again, there's really not a lot of horror. It's
it's a lot of women slowly undressing with some jazz
numbers playing over it, and Montell's kind of walking around

(01:08:12):
peeping on him, and the girls when they see him peeping,
they're like, oh, let's have sex, and then he gets
real angry and violent and runs away. Yeah, like this
is weird. But I'd actually pair this with Doris Wishman's
It Taste of Flesh because some of the relationship shown
the black and white, you know, photography, they're very kind
of very kind of similar in that way that the

(01:08:34):
audio was pretty terrible, but like, it's beautiful to watch
some of the music, you know, some it reminded me
of Doris Wishman. Again, very jazzy. Some of the music. Man,
we feel like I was playing GoldenEye on in sixty four.
It was like very good. Yeah, also seventy two minutes long.
It was worth the worth the change. I was happy

(01:08:55):
to watch this Love after Death, what's your sixties?

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Sixties? I watched The night Walker from nineteen sixty four.
This was on YouTube. This is a William Castle movie
based on a Robert Block story which I think John
has but I couldn't find it. I was going to
try to read it this month. There's a very long
and I think unnecessary opening narration about dreams and psychics.

(01:09:21):
Like I just after I watched the whole movie, I
was like, wait, why do we need that opening part? Anyway? Anyway,
so Irene Trent played by Barbara Stanwick. She is talking
in her sleep about another man, so her husband thinks
she's having an affair. After he supposedly dies in a
lab explosion in their house, she starts dreaming about being

(01:09:42):
haunted by her late husband. And I won't spoil it
any further than that. It's a lot of It is
like a it's a gas lighting, driving a woman crazy
type movie, using her dreams against her sort of thing,
like you're not sure when she's dreaming when she's not
because she's not sure. The score is really interesting. It

(01:10:02):
sounds like Morconey's score from Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion.
It's great, but I was also like, did they just
steal that from any and no shade on Barbi Stanwick.
But her scream sounds like, you know, the girl in
the recording booth into Palma's blowout. Oh yeah, it sounds

(01:10:23):
like that. I liked it. I don't think it's top
tier castle by any means, but I mean I enjoy
all of his films, so i'd watch it. So that's
a night Walker nineteen sixty four on YouTube. Next is Australia.
I watched The Death Train from nineteen seventy eight. This

(01:10:43):
is another one I had to get from legal adjacent
great Poster. It's about an insurance investigator played by Hugh
keys Burn. He's the Toe Cutter and Mad Max and
Immortal Joe and Fury Road. So he comes to this
small town to verify the cause of death of a

(01:11:05):
man who was ensured by his company. The locals, including
the man's partner, believed that he was killed by a
ghost train because the tracks used to run through the
man's property, but there since the tracks are long gone
now the house is built on the property. The movie
opens and like the Death of the Man, you really

(01:11:28):
are like, oh my god, he got ran over by
ghost train, and like you think it's a horror movie.
None of it is a horror movie after the opening.
But it's interesting because it's mostly this like quirky mystery.
It certainly has a sort of Twin Peaks vibe. You know,
you've got the investigator coming to a town to you know,

(01:11:50):
look into a death, and like they spend time with
like a bunch like a few different characters, but none
of the characters are quirky enough. Yeah, like the story
it's elf is quirky, but the characters don't live up
to that. You know, they're just not like eccentric or memorable,
So I really however, I really did appreciate the matter

(01:12:12):
of fact way that the relationship between the dead man
and his partner was treated. You would expect a seventies
Australian TV movie to have someone say something derogatory or
offensive about a gay couple, especially in a small town,
but their relationship is just very like matter of fact.
Like the insurance investigators like, oh, or you know, are

(01:12:33):
you going to sell the house? Are you going to
keep it? And the guy's like, well, I don't know,
Like he loved this house, so like I want to
keep it, but I'm not sure. Yeah, it's but I
can't really give this a hard or soft recommendation. But
I guess if you don't expect a horror movie going
into it, you might enjoy it more than I did.
I use this word a lot, like it's just kind

(01:12:55):
of a curio. I think it's interesting. It's one of
those movies that, like I would be surprised as if,
like here's the Australian label Umbrella didn't put it out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Maybe does it show the guy who is supposedly killed
by the ghost train, Like is he mangled up and
like totally destroyed. Doesn't show the body.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
They show a body, but it's not like mangled up
or destroyed or anything. But like, wait was it?

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Fuck?

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
Sorry, I watched it a few weeks ago in my
memory you all know, maybe, but like the ending because
it's like foggy and you hear the train and you
see the lights and like he's running and you're like,
it's like it's like Prometheus. Just run to the side,
run to the side, run to the side. And he's
just running in a straight line. I'm like, what the

(01:13:41):
fuck man?

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
I mean, he could have been picking blueberries or picking
berries whatever, like can stand by me whatever, I go.
He had something on his mind.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Yeah, so not a horror movie. But I think you know,
our Australian listeners, all two of you, I think you
would probably appreciate it if you haven't seen it, just
for like the Hugh keys Burn being in it. But nice, Yeah,
Death Training nineteen seventy eight for Australia, What about you?

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
I think mine's some more common. I think most people
have seen this thirst from nineteen seventy nine. Oh the
Henry Silva onan Henry Silvan which has a terrible poster
if we're talking about posters right now. Yeah, it's not great.
I do appreciate like the fangs on the end of
the teas, but now it's a bad poster. Directed by
Australian director Rod Hardy, who went on to direct Nick Fury,

(01:14:29):
Agent of Shield, starring at David Hasselhoff. So yeah, Thirst.
I loved this thing. Total mind fuck of a movie.
What it puts the protagonist, Kate through shifts between like
reality fantasy flashbacks in an instant, so it kind of
it really Obviously it's intended to throw confusion and confuse

(01:14:53):
the main character, but as a viewer you're just like
kind of feeling for her because you're right there with her.
It just it's really just Kate getting the thirst for
the first time. Scenes of some of it reminded me
of let Scare Jessica to Death, to where it's just
total mindful. So Kate is a descendant of vampires, and

(01:15:14):
there's this cult of vampires who are essentially trying to
get her to learn and accept who she is and
where she comes from. And I love the whole concept
of quote the thirst. You know, Kate, she starts freaking
out tripping and having what she believes are these crazy hallucinations,
but it's actually it's the thirst, a weird state of

(01:15:34):
mind that vampires go through when they need to have
their blood. So drinking blood is the only way to
make them feel normal. So she's kind of fighting it
the entire movie, and then she when she finally caves in,
it's like a light is shown upon her and she's
happy in life. And I'm like, this is so great.
It's a cool concept to learn that you're a vampire.

(01:15:55):
And this cult of vampires they have a blood farm,
which is they get humans to live in this compound
that they pretty much, you know, take care of them,
give them a great life, and then they feed on
them like their cows. I just I love the whole
concept of this movie. Yeah, And like you said, Henry Silva,
he's great as kind of the doctor in this cult.
In this his character spoiled Ert, has a tragic end.

(01:16:17):
He falls from a I'm going to say it, he
falls from a helicopter and he lands on power lines
and he's just she just burns to a crisp. David
Hemmings is also in it. Just a great cast, great
Australian horror. I think it's a great take and very
clever and original take on vampires. So I really like

(01:16:38):
this movie. And then fifteen is in Memoriam, so I
watch Blood Tide from nineteen eighty two. Rest in Peace
James Earl Jones OK, directed by Richard Jeffries. This is
a It's a British produced hour film that's shot in grease,
so right away, the exterior shots are beautiful, a lot

(01:17:01):
of bodies of water, jagged rocks and caves. The plot
it follows a young American couple who are visiting a
Greek island where the husband's sister had disappeared, and they
go there to find you know, where is she? Why
hasn't she contacted them? And they find out that an
ancient monster has been released, forcing the villagers to return

(01:17:23):
to the practice of human sacrifice to appease it. The
cast rules, there's like five main players in it. The
American couple is played by Martin Cove, the Ashole karate
coach in Karate Kill. Mary Luise Weller who's from Cue
This Wing, Serpent and Animal House. She's plays his wife

(01:17:44):
or his girlfriend who's she's great in this there's a
character named Barbara who's kind of James Earl Jones's love
interest or they're a couple, and she's like so adorable
and super funny. Debraah Shelton plays the missing sister, and
then of course there's James Earl Jones who kind of
controls the entire movie. He plays the deep dive treasurer
who accidentally unleashes this monster. Yeah. I thought it was gorgeous.

(01:18:08):
I get the hate, but this because like on Letterbox,
it's super low rating. A lot of people don't like it.
I totally understand it. It is slow, it's the plot's stupid,
but it's all about the cast to me, are just perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
That's like the ultimate quote is like, I get it,
it's slow, it's stupid, but I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
I love it. Yeah, I could watch these people all day.
So Shelton, she screams. There's a scene where she's looking
at this pain he or she reveals this painting and
it's a monster. It's a paining of a monster with
a big boner, and she just screams and I'm like,
that's acting, like this is fucking it. And then she
does her best kind of Captain Willard impression when she's

(01:18:48):
rising from the water like apocalypse. Now. In my letterbox review,
I put Martin cove Is who Val Kilmer wanted to
be in the doors. This dude's more Jim Morrison than
Jim Morrison, so like, you know, Palladi and Tan and
his shirts off every scene. But again, I thought it
was gorgeous, well made. I thought the cast is literally perfect.

(01:19:10):
I thought the mystery was pretty good. The music was good.
I just stug it. Overall. It's super silly, presented in
a serious manner, which I just kind of respected and
got completely behind. Also has a little bit of incest too.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Oh so that's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
That never hurts, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
So my in memoriam pick was one I know you've seen,
and I can't remember if it was for Horror Gives
Back or maybe I think it, Oh you know what,
I think it was for our episode on The Strangler.
Maybe Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte from nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Yeah, I think I've watched it. Yeah, I think I've
watched him before that. Oh okay, Oh that's a Victor
is so good.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
Yeah. So Lee Gambon has a booklet essay from the
Eureka Masters of Cinema Blu Ray, which I don't have.
I watched this on Hoopla. This starts Betty Davis, a,
Joseph Cotton and Olivia de Haviland. Davis plays Charlotte. She
is in present day being forced out of her house.

(01:20:11):
She's seen as a local crazy woman suspected of the
murder of her married lover, a very young Bruce Dene
in the flashback when she was a teenager. Her cousin,
Miriam to Haveland arrives to try to help her move
out of the house since Charlotte is unwilling to move
or to leave the house. I do love a good

(01:20:33):
gas lighting movie. That's what this is. Betty Davis is
the ultimate psycho biddy and I had a lot of
fun with this when I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
She can never go wrong with Betty Davis.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
Yeah, and then series episode. I watched an episode of
the British show Thriller and it was if it's a
man hang up. This is on YouTube. Yeah, so a
famous model is getting threatening phone calls. Lots of reviews

(01:21:05):
said this was the best episode of the series, but
I have not seen any of the other ones. For comparison.
So I don't know, folks, you can let us know
in our discorder on the post on socials. I will
say it did a very good job of making every
single male in this seem like a suspect. They all
have something skeevy about them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:26):
That's real life.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's realistic in that sense. But
I had a really hard time sympathizing with the model Susie.
She's played by Carol Linley. She is in Beside an Adventure,
Nightstalk or Beast on the Streets. Let me tell you
why I don't like her, this fucking broad.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
She can't say that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:48):
I can say that she leaves her adorable little dog
locked up in the kitchen all day and night. Why
do you even have a dog if you're just gonna
keep it in a basket in one room and you
never spend any time with him.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Maybe maybe she's an influencer, good Instagram post.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
This is nineteen, I know whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Fuck her, Yeah, fuck her.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
I don't care, you know what. I'm not trying to
victim shame or blame or whatever. But you deserve those
phone calls, you know what. You know why she was
getting those phone calls because that guy was just calling
to make sure the dog was Okay, this is a
fucking aspca Colin, bitch, take your dog out of the kitchen,
spend some time with it. What about you for a
series episode?

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Okay? I went with the Hammerhouse of Horror episode can
which you're wrong. Yeah, I think I've done that the
last couple of three years. Maybe this one is The
Two Faces of Evil, directed by Alan Gibson, who also
did the episode Silent Scream Oh with Peter Kashein and
Brian Cox. Yeah. He also directed Dracula AD nineteen seventy two,

(01:22:52):
which I love that fucking movie, of course I do,
and The Satanic Rites of Dracula written by Ranald Graham,
who wrote Shanks, which did as Bartek. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
I was like, that just got a release from Cinematograph,
So yeah, I'm I'm excited to finally watch that one.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
I immediately thought of Dennis when I saw that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
Yeah, I was like, he will I mean, I know
they started working on a way before we talked to Dennis,
but like it's just when when people bring something up
that you've never seen and like maybe even hasn't even
been on your radar and then that happens. You're just
like Dennis made it happen.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Yeah, I'm gonna well, I haven't picked it up, but
I do want to see that movie. So the Two
Faces of Evil, it's this is about a married couple
who are on vacation with their young son and while
road tripping, they pick up a hitchhiker in the rain
who attacks the husband who's driving, causing a car crash.
Then the wife wakes up in the hospital. The sun

(01:23:49):
is fine, by the way, unfortunately, but the husband he
had emergency surgery because a shard of glass one to
his neck. He can't talk. The police aren't going to
get anything from him. They explained to the woman that
they found a man's body away from the car crash.
The woman she can't identify him because his face was

(01:24:13):
hidden by like this rain jacket with the collar up.
He was wearing a hat, but she does remember he
had this creepy long fingernail on his right hand. She's like, oh,
if I look at his hand, I can identify him.
And they're like, yeah, his right hand was severed. We
can't find him, so, you know, supposedly in the car wreck.
So we spend the episode watching the woman start remembering

(01:24:35):
what happened through flashbacks. You see, like when she wakes
up in the crash, her husband appears to be fighting
with this man very reminiscent of Bird with the Crystal Plumage,
where she remembers more and more, and the husband is
finally released from the hospital. They decided to go to
the cabin where they were planning to stay for vacation,
and there's something really off with him, so it takes

(01:24:56):
this wild turn that I don't think anybody will sa
you coming, don't read anything about this. This has been
my favorite House of Horror Hammer House of War episode.
It's super creepy, it's it's probably it's definitely the scariest
of the episodes I've watched, because most of them are
pretty campy, like a lot of Hammer stuff is. This

(01:25:17):
one has a little camp to it, but it like
goes hard on the horror element, which I really respected.
And early Merry Christmas to you, Erica, because there is
a dead kid in this.

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
Oh you just said the Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
I wanted to set it up terribly dumb, but a
kid is is killed in this and these are always
fun to watch. Also, very short obviously, that's why we
kind of pick the series episode every year. But this
one I recommend. I recommend all of them. I've seen
Silent Scream. What was the other one, the House that bled?
I believe it was called. Yeah, these are all just

(01:25:55):
fucking awesome, but the Two Faces of Evil really delivers.
And now we're jumping to lance. Wait is it still
me right? Okay? Yeah? Pick a lance? This one I changed.

Speaker 3 (01:26:12):
I changed mine too.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
There's so many lance to choose from. I loved looking
at everybody's picks and how they, you know, interpreted this
this category.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
My favorite still John to ambulance he picked. Yeah, Larry
Cohen's ambulance.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Is the best ambulance.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
Until my pick, which is the best? Pumpkinhead? Ashes to ashes?
Oh yeah, I've never seen three and four. I watched
part two, which I enjoyed. I watched it for a
Night of the Scarecrow is Jeff Burr. I actually liked it.
But this is a sci fi Pictures film, so you
know it's quality stuff. Directed by Jake West, released in

(01:26:49):
twenty sixteen. I don't know, it's like, so do you
remember the side? I think it's still around, but it was
called fiver with two rs at the end where you
pay you.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
It doesn't exist anymore, I don't know, oh okay.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
But yeah. The whole concept was you pay somebody five
dollars or like a low amount of dollars to have
them create something for you. It could be like a template.
It could be like a you know, a website, or
they could paint something or whatever. So many services. And
I had used this back in like two thousand, i
don't know, thirteen fourteen, Yeah, to create a teaser kind

(01:27:24):
of like a teaser video, like a two minute teaser
video of this comic book that I was working on
with Cody. And it was very you know, very simple,
and it was like dust in the sunlight from a window.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
You know, is this your pitch to them what you
wanted or the final product that you got from them?

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
Now, I just said, make something with this. It was basically,
provide us with the text you want to like, you know,
kind of tease what it's what's happened? Okay, So they
created this very generic you know, which I loved it
at the time. But it would look like dust particles,
like from the sunlight in the window. This is the
opening credits to this movie. It's like five minutes of that.
It looks like this is like the equivalent of Make

(01:28:06):
Me a Pumpkinhead sequel, Fiver, I'm contacting you, make me
a sequel It's terrible. Yikes, CGI that I don't know,
would would make like Dracula's Argenta's Dracula cringe like. It's
it's pretty terrible. Yeah, not much to talk about here,
Lance hendrixon the reason for the pick. He's back is
Ed Harley and he's just sleep walking through this whole thing.

(01:28:28):
He's given about five minutes total screen time. Pinhead himself.
Doug Bradley's in this, putting on his best slash worst
Southern country kind of rule drawl, like he's a creepy
doctor who murders people. There is a terrible scene in
his office where you can see a stack literally like

(01:28:50):
building blocks of lament configuration puzzle boxes, like just in
the background. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Of course,
Jake Web you would ask for that. I think you
have it in your book though, because there is a
dead kid. At least it's like the body of a
dead kid or skeletons.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
I have the original Pumpkinhead in it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
It doesn't show the kid died, but there's a dead
there's a dead skeleton that's burned in the furnace later.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
I think if I mentioned it, I mean that happened
before the evente of the movie, so I wouldn't have
counted it. But I feel I've seen this because now
you said Doug Bradley, and that's right. Oh, I remember,
I've seen this.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
Yeah, it's terrible, it's very forgettable. I prefer Jeff Burr's
Pumpkinhead Blood Wings sequel, which I think a lot of
people really really hate.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
Actually did the film one and a half stars.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
I gave it. I think I gave it two stars.
I mean I got one more to watch now, right, Yeah,
I guess what was your pick? A Lance is or
is it? Yeah? It's you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
I did, Yeah, so I did. Also, Lance Henrickson, I
had another movie, but the one that Letterbox linked on
tub was a totally different movie. I don't remember what
it was. Now to be that happens a lot box whatever,
get it together. So I just you know, I was
time crunch, so I just searched for Hendrickson on tuby

(01:30:07):
and this was the first one that came up and
was under ninety minutes, so bad choice. The Invitation two
thousand and three. Lance plays an author named Roland Levy.
He invites a group of old friends to his island,
poisons them at dinner, and the only way they can
get rid of the antidote is to confess their darkest,
darkest secret so that they can reach I don't know,

(01:30:29):
fucking enlightenment or something like he's done. I don't know.
The beginning is chaos in this movie. There's this montage
of characters who we haven't even been introduced to yet,
which I assume was supposed to be establishing the characters,
but by the time that they got poisoned, I still
didn't know their fucking names. I don't know. I was

(01:30:51):
hoping that maybe this was purposeful and like all the
characters and all of their past relationships would be revealed
and come together through their confession, and it kind of does.
But it's just not well executed. This garbage movie. It's
poorly made. I don't know. Lance Hendrickson, his character tells
some random story at dinner about when he was in

(01:31:15):
Africa and was helping to give elephants birth control pills,
which resulted in them being so horny that they were
constantly mating why is this important? Like the fucking screenwriter,
whoever you are, I didn't look you up because I
didn't care enough about this movie and even write your
name down? What did they think that this was clever?
Like I'm gonna tell this funny story about horny elephants?

(01:31:38):
Like what why would you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Yeah? I can't. I have no explanation.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
I don't either. This movie is horrible. No one watched it,
so I felt really bad for Lance Hendrickson. So I
actually watched another one after October was over that I'd
never seen before, and John grabbed it from We Love
Video and I was like, you know what, I'm going
to talk about this one, so we do not And
on a bad Lance Hendrickson note, and I watched Man's
Best Friend, and you know what, That movie is super fun.

(01:32:05):
It's about a killer dog being experimented on.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Oh yeah, that one also is a cool poster. Yeah
how you post that?

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
And it's it's super fun. It's weird though, because it's
got like a sort of very whimsical score, like the
dog is like walking down the street and it peas
on a fire hydrant, but it's got like acid piss,
so it's like burning the fire hydrant. And it's like
the scores like deep deep deep deep deep. So it's weird,

(01:32:32):
but it's got some great gore in it, like some
you know, it's missed opportunities for some child kills in it.
But I would watch that Lance Hendrickson movie, not the
Invitation and not Pumpkinhead Ashes to Ashes.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Yeah, earlier, Lance Hendrickson is the way to go for sure,
although this one's nineteen ninety three, it's not too early. Yeah, okay,
because I feel like Ashes Ashes was what ninety five?
Who cares? It was terrible?

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
It's an It's no.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
That was two thousand and six, okay, okay, all.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Right, So that was my Lance pick. And then Bleeding
Skull Way Bad Stone. We have an episode about it.
You should probably listen to it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
Yeah, you definitely should.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
What about you for a Bleeding Skull?

Speaker 2 (01:33:12):
This was probably one of my, if not the favorite
watch of my list my Horge gives back list. Frozen
Scream released in nineteen eighty one, although it was filmed
in nineteen seventy five. I learned, but I love this movie.
Watched it on Tube. Everybody should watch it, written, produced,
starring Queen Renee Harmon. According to Bleeding School's review which

(01:33:33):
I watch after, which I read after I watched it,
Harmon also directed it, but she quote thought if I
wrote and produced and directed and starred it would be
too much, so I gave the credits away. Frank Roach,
who was credited as the director, was the camera man
on the film, but I decided it would be better
to have another director credited on the film for business reasons.

(01:33:55):
I directed the film, so she did everything on this,
which makes it that much more impressive. Again, since this
is the Bleeding Skull category, I urge everybody to not
only watch Frozen screen, but to read Jozimba's full review
on this because it's great. Here's just an excerpt excerpt
to summarize the film straight from Leading Skull. So, Renee

(01:34:17):
Harmon is a scientist. She attaches computer chips to people's
necks with velcrow, then they become immortal zombies. The zombies
have large mustaches and sleep standing up in someone's broom closet.
Are these experiments for love or immortality? I have no idea,
but everyone keeps asking that question once in a while.

(01:34:38):
The zombies attack people with axes and knives, leading to
some rubbery gore on par with something you'd seen in
The Slayer. Meanwhile, Renee invades the dreams of a woman
named Anne. Anne's husband might be a zombie. Kevin is
a cop. He loves Anne, but he's not her husband.
Everybody goes to a warehouse party. They dance to a
nineteen fifty style rock band that seeings Jack around the

(01:35:01):
shack instead of rock around the clock. That scene is amazing,
by the way. Yeah, it's in a flashback on Halloween night.
A priest asked, and the thing about immortality, do you
think that's pagan? And then a sluggish woman dances naked,
a black hooded executioner with a skull face appears in
a window. Then it all doesn't come together. That's pretty

(01:35:25):
much the movie. But I really loved it. Like I said,
this one ends on Hallowey Night, So I think everybody
should kind of add this to their October watch list
for next year. In my letterbox review, I said, not
for most, but most definitely for me. So take that
how you will. Klawon actually commented on my review of
this when I watched it, saying that it's such a

(01:35:47):
strange movie and it quote felt like a fungus growing
on a log in a great way claw. So I
mean everybody had positive I think everybody's entertained by Frozen Scream.
Every review I read had me kind of psyched on
it when I saw it was on two B. It's
very clean, it looks great, you can hear and see everything. Yeah,

(01:36:11):
one of my favorites of the month for sure. Then
we move on to animal attacks. I watched Rats Nights
of Terror from nineteen eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Four All the Light Runs on Fire.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Directed by Bruno Matte and co credit to Claudio Figraso.
It takes place in two hundred and twenty five AB,
which means after the bomb. So the nuclear bomb occurred
in twenty fifteen, and once this bomb went off, survivors
were divided between those who live in comfortable underground cities,

(01:36:44):
and then there were the New Primitives who live above
the ground in sunlight, and a group of these scavenger
New Primitives bike riders. They come across an abandoned town
to find that the people living there were killed and
eaten by these crazy rats. Yeah, it's very end Game,
Bronx Warriors type apocalyptic Italian Jam has a great synse score,

(01:37:07):
But for me personally, Bruno matteyfilms are just so fucking exhausting,
like Strike Commando, Robo War and you know other hell
cruel jaw jaws. They're they're entertaining at times, but overall,
like if I take a step back, I'm like this,
this is fun. This is fun. But some I feel

(01:37:29):
like there's just slow motion movies. Like while I was
watching Rats, uh, you know, Night of Terror. By the
time I thought, okay, they're gonna start wrapping sh it up,
I clicked my you know, my Apple TV button and
there was still forty five minutes left and I was like, oh,
come on, and you know, I get to the ending,

(01:37:51):
and like every Mata movie, they're the endings are always
fan fuckingtastic, like he delivers. It's kind of like what
I was talking about in Woman in Black, like get
on with it, and then the ending happens and everybody's like,
this is the best fucking movie ever, but you sit
for like the first hour and a half to get
to it. I feel like most of his movie should
be like eighty minutes max, because this one I think

(01:38:12):
was a little over close to I think it's over
ninety minutes. I could watch it again, but I'm just
never invested the entire runtime, which is disappointing to me. Yeah,
like I'll probably be picking up my phone and shit,
which I hate doing. But you know, you've got to
love the terrible dub dubbing. The English scripted dialogue is
so unrealistic, which is always fun to watch, but this
one actually kind of This one took me. It was

(01:38:35):
hard to get through. What was your animal attacks?

Speaker 1 (01:38:38):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
This is another Lee Gambin one. He has got a
booklet essay in the Scorpion release of Dogs nineteen seventy six.
But I watched this one on Prime. It's fine. It's
a university near some kind of government experiment is caught.
Like the dogs aren't being experimented on. It's all like
the residential dogs. So it's like if Piper and I

(01:39:02):
live too close to some power lines or some shit,
and then she went like crazy, But it's causing all
the dogs to like join up together in a pack
and attack people. Lots of dog deaths in this movie, obviously,
but it's it's got a high body count.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
Of people are all killed by dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:39:20):
Yeah, no, no, no dead kids. So even though there's
a scene that's set it up like perfectly to have
at least one, and they didn't fucking kill any kids.
So again, yeah, it's fine. David McCallum is the lead
in this, and he's I like him, but he can't
carry this whole movie. There's not really any other interesting
characters in this. You know, if if you would just

(01:39:42):
follow the Jaws formula a little bit more closely, it
could have been like very serviceable. It's like, you know,
it's not that hard like they have like you know,
their dean of the school that's like, well we can't
shut down the whatever we're gonna do thing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
I got a set sphere project.

Speaker 3 (01:40:00):
Yeah, so yeah, Dogs is fine. I had a very
like two and a half three star months outside, and
then I had like a few bangers, right, and then
I had the invitation with land Shandwick's.

Speaker 1 (01:40:14):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
So in nineteen eighties, I watched I had something else
in my pick and I think I got about fifteen
minutes in and I was just like not feeling it
and I was like not in the mood for it,
and I just I didn't know if I'd even finish
it before the end of the month, So I think
it was clocker. In our discord mentioned watching The Enchanting
Ghost and it was on YouTube, and it literally would

(01:40:38):
just add into YouTube like a week ago. So I
figured I better get on this shit before Monafong gets
in there and issues it or her ghost issues a
copyright strike. So Enchanting Ghost nineteen eighty three on YouTube.
Don't know if it still is now as of this recording,
or if it will be by the time y'all listen
to it. So this has a lot in common with
Portrait and Crystal and Bloody Parrot. It's pretty fast paced,

(01:41:02):
not as much as those two, but it doesn't stop
for a breath, and it barely lets you keep up
with the new characters that are being introduced, and there's
a lot if you strip it down. It's a vengeful
female ghost story. She's killed eighteen years prior in a
palace which she now haunts, and uses her daughter to
put her soul into her when she needs to fight.

(01:41:25):
There's tons of fog. This is probably the biggest expense
for the film, like just fog, and then red green,
purple gel lighting sword fighting, wirework. There's a dead kid
in it. That's why I definitely put on my list
very solid. Shaw Brothers really light on the horror. It's
I think it's a lot like the movies that we

(01:41:47):
that we covered this year where they're like, okay, we're
light on horror. Like there's a horror element, there's a
ghost and there is some blood, but it's mostly about
the action and like the sort of colorful atmosphere in it.
But the Enchanting Ghost I really did like it is on.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
The Enchantress, the Chating Ghosts. It was the one we covered.
When you said that, I looked it up. I was like,
is it called the Chading Ghost too?

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
You're right, I'm stupid. The Enchanting No, no, thank you.
It isn't even on my list, right it is?

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Yeah, that's right. I went to your horg gets back yeah,
and I was like.

Speaker 3 (01:42:19):
Did I get the year right?

Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
Did I get everything right? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Yeah, all right, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:42:23):
You said it was on two B No, this was
on YouTube. Oh on YouTube? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:42:27):
Yeah, this just got added sweet not too long ago,
like a week or two A week before I watched
it is when it got added. But Okay, yeah, The
Enchantress nineteen eighty three, directed by chor Ewan my bed,
not The Enchanting Ghost. I'm stupid. No, I'm having a
rough month, all right. So that was nineteen eighties. Another

(01:42:51):
This is one of my favorites of the month. And
I can't even remember the title correct. I wrote it
down wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
Well, yeah, because when I was talking about like the
Enchanting Ghost, there was another one called the Enchanting Shadow.
That's another they get confusing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:04):
Okay, yeah, see they're not Okay, it's their fault.

Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
I'm Shaw Brother's fault. Yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Yeah, you should watch it before it leaves YouTube because
Shaw Brothers movies don't last. Yeah, what about you for eighties?

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
Okay, nineteen eighties. I'm cheating with this pick. It's not
a first time watch. But again, I was cutting time.
Time was running out for me. I'm going to pick
Zombie Death House from nineteen eighty eight, directed and starring
the sexy John Saxon. Go listen to our episode.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
Okay, we've got a few of those we're doing. We're
cheating a little bit. But it's been a it's been
a month.

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
It was my October pick, so it counts. It does,
and I did watch it again in October, so there
you go. Okay, let's go to Karen Black twenty one.
This was a change. I was doing what was it
called The Possession of You watched it one?

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, what.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
Was her name? Anyways, I changed this one out last minute.

Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Okay, you're lost because big time. Oh you want to
Rob zombie movie or something?

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
Yeah, very much so. No, I didn't watch the character,
but this was I mean, this could be even worse
in a Rob zombie movie. It's called Curse of the
forty nine Er from two thousand and two. Okay, I
was excited because it's you know, Karen Black, and I
looked at the cast, the list of cast members, and
I was like, there's some fucking awesome character actors in this.
It's directed by John Carl Beekler. I thought there's going

(01:44:24):
to be some good probably practical effects, some good makeup.
He obviously killed it, and from Beyond Terror vision trancers.
But no, no, no, no, no, this is again some
CG stuff that again would make like Argento's Dracula cringe
like it is bad. So it starts off with some
dude bro and a cabin who found gold, which resurrects

(01:44:47):
the ghost of Jeremiah Stone, an old forty nine er
played by Vernon Wells, not the baseball player but the actor,
and he kills the guy for taking his gold. But
the guy had already written to a sister about finding
gold and gives her half a map like you expect,
so her and her horny boyfriend and their horny asshole

(01:45:10):
friends all head to this town called Sutterville to look
for him and the gold. Very basic and like I said,
I was hoping for cool practical effects, but that didn't
happen because the cast was another reason I picked it.
Richard Lynch plays a dirty backwoods guy and he's always great.
He's fun. He has like a probably about a six
minute scene. They stop by his house because they want

(01:45:32):
to use the bathroom, so he's real funny. When they leave,
he's immediately killed by the forty nine er for no reason.
John Philip Law from Barbarella, he's in death rides a horse. Yeah,
he plays the sheriff. He's great in it. Martin Cove
once again, which I was like, okay, let's get I
loved him in Blood Tight. I'm gonna watch this He

(01:45:53):
has a very small scene, but he's having a blast.
He plays like this horny country guy named Caleb Jeff
Conaway from you know, Grease, and he plays Reverend Sutter
in a flashback scene. And of course there's Karen Black
who she plays this backwoods mom of a girl named
Eve who befriends the group. Yeah, she's fantastic in this.
She has a gruesome death in it, probably the best

(01:46:15):
death scene, probably the it's a stunt work thing, which
I really respect. She gets lit on fire. I don't
think anybody's going to watch this. It's not a spoiler,
but I just love Karen and her her head of hair.
It's so great. But yeah, the movie is so two
thousand and two. The character all the characters are are annoying.
The dudes are sexist assholes to all their girlfriends. You

(01:46:38):
hate them all, but it's kind of like living in
the early two thousands, where everybody has attitude. They all
look like characters. I'd be sitting at a central perk
in a friend's episode. Okay, I don't know. There's one
scene that kind of had me laughing. There's one one
of the idiot guys eats a canna beans around a
campfire and he immediately has diarrhea, you know, very gross, stupid,

(01:47:00):
kind of lazy humor. Yeah, and he runs through the
woods and he has diary and the sound effects are
something that I would have done, like when I was
in sixth grade, like so fake, but I still have
a sixth grade mentality from time to time. So I laughed.
And there's also one scene where the forty nine er
he gets his hand cut off, so he has a

(01:47:21):
pick axe and he breaks the handle off and he
just shoves it into his arm, so he has a
pick axe arm, kind of like ash Chucky. Chucky. Chucky
did it too, Yeah, Chucky as well. Yeah, I mean,
obviously they're stealing from a lot. It's it was kind
of fun but very forgettable.

Speaker 3 (01:47:38):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
I think I probably gave it two stars, which is
too much, but I like how I spend too much.
I like my notes for longer for the worst movie.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
I know that's usually how it goes, because you're yeah,
I mean I didn't do much better, only because so
Karen Black is credited in my movie. Well she's uncredited, actually,
and that's because it was the last horror film from
nineteen eighty two, which was a film that cons Film Festival,
and I didn't see her in the movie.

Speaker 4 (01:48:08):
Like, Okay, you see is she like in the Red
Carpet or yeah, exactly, Like so there's a few like
actors that you that you see on the Red Carpet,
and anyone that's uncredited in it are people who are
like arriving in the Red Carpet or in some like
press junket thing or something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:26):
I can I must have blinked and missed her because
I didn't see her at all. So really, like I
just wanted to watch this movie because I had never
gotten around to it. It was kind of one of
those like blind spots for me, the last horror film.
But severeign put it out. I picked it up. It's
got the maniac two box box. Is it a box

(01:48:46):
or slipcover? I don't know, it's one of the things.
One of the cardboard people can correct me. So. Joe
Spinell very sweaty in this of course. Oh yeah, plays
Vinnie Durand in New York Taxi Driver. He's got am
of being a filmmaker, so he travels to con Film
Festival with plans to meet actress Jana Bates played by

(01:49:07):
Carolyn Monroe and to get her in the movie. Coincidentally
or not, numerous people who are close debates are being
killed at the festival, So, like I mentioned, you know,
it's shot during the actual festival, so there's a lot
of footage of actors arriving and like people who probably
don't know they're in this movie being filmed. Anyway. There's

(01:49:32):
a poll quote. There's a poll quote on the back
of the severin slipcase that says this is more enjoyable
than Maniac, which is absolute fucking insanity. And you wrote
that Daily Dead. You are collective morons over there.

Speaker 2 (01:49:48):
Fucking damn.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
This movie's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
It's great. I mean I actually enjoyed it more because
of like with Caroly Monroe and Spinell kind of back
at it.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
No, I like the idea of them back together in this.
But to say that this is like, Okay, they didn't
say it's better than Maniac. They said it's more enjoyable.
So I don't know what that says about me, but
it just no, just no, it's fine. It's very sweaty.

Speaker 2 (01:50:17):
It's very sweaty, it's very heavy breathing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:20):
Yeah, it's also maybe there's a big part of me
that was just really hating Carolyn Monroe's hair in this.
She is not good as a blonde. You know, she's
got like the blonde on the side.

Speaker 2 (01:50:31):
It's kind of cocker Spaniel.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
Yeah, it's not like I know, it's you know, early eighties,
but still just it's not a good look. She's beautiful,
who why would you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:50:43):
She still looks great with blonde streaks. No, no, I.

Speaker 3 (01:50:47):
Mean yeah, but it's just not a good look. Anyway,
I felt bad. I didn't even get to watch Karen
Black in my movie, so I knew she wasn't going
to be like in the movie like as, but I
at least expected I would see her, and I didn't
even see her, So there weren't that I took too
long to talk about that. Mexico, I watched The Bloody

(01:51:08):
Vampire from nineteen sixty two. I watched the song Prime Now. Unfortunately,
I watched the Cay Gordon Murray American version, so it's dubbed,
and I think that takes a lot away from it.
That's what was available. It's got count Frankenhausen and a
very sort of convoluted plot. This is literally I watched

(01:51:30):
this like a couple of days ago, and I'm already
struggling with it. I had a yeah, it's been a
rough week though. It's got a great poster. Oh it's
got a big fake bat, and I am pretty sure.
So you know the the in Ship of Monsters where
they show like the exterior of the cave where like
they're hiding all the monsters and there, I think it's

(01:51:52):
the exact same one in this where like the big,
the big giant bat flies out of from this. So
that was like the high point the movie for me.
I was like, that's a came from Ship of Monsters,
a much better movie that I wish I was watching.

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
Well, I'm glad you got a big fake bat.

Speaker 3 (01:52:08):
Yeah I did get that. I don't know, it's just forgettable,
and I mean the quality wasn't great, and I just
honestly wish I had watched the original version, not the
American dubbed version. So yeah, yeah, I'm sure you fared
better than me in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (01:52:24):
I think I did. Yeah. I initially picked the incredible
Professor Zovic, who remember I watched Renee Cardona's Invasion of
the Dead for June's plitation, and I was like, this
guy is so captivating. He died filming that Invasion of
the Dead movie falling from a helicopter. But it wasn't
streaming where I thought it was. I thought it was

(01:52:44):
on YouTube or Daily Motion. I couldn't find it at all,
so I instead watched Planet of the Female Invaders from
nineteen sixty six, directed by Alfredo C. Cravenna, who he
directed a lot of the El Santo films. But it's
about these alien beautiful women who land their UFO in

(01:53:04):
an amusement park next to carnival rides and ferris wheels
and stuff and actually.

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
Venus looking for men. Is this a sequel to Ship
of Monsters?

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
No, but there is, Uh okay, so Lorena Velasquez, who
is Beta and Ship of Monsters she is one of
the women. Oh okay, so it's fantastic. But yeah. They
actually land their UFO next to a sign that says
trip to the Moon five pesos, which is like, you know,

(01:53:35):
a carnival ride there, but they land on top of it.
So these people, carnivalgoers do go in and they give
them a tour of their ship and they end up
taking off to space. Money and while everybody like from
Earth is looking up and they're freaking the fuck out
because there's a swine saucer. But their goal is to
bring the people back to their planet to take their
lungs because they can't live. They want to take over Earth,

(01:53:57):
and they can't live in an Earth's atmosphere for more
than like a day without choking and dying. I was
hoping there was going to be a child kill because
they find out that adult lungs are kind of worn
out and they're not really helping. But there's one kid
on the flying saucer that they do tests on and
they're like, oh, yeah, we need children's lungs to survive,
So our plan is to go back to Earth and

(01:54:20):
take all the children's lungs. Sadly, they're no child kills.
Sorry spoiler alert. But they also have an old legend
on this planet that twins are in fact a single
person separated by a deity and one embody's evil and
the other one is kinder.

Speaker 3 (01:54:36):
I know which one you are.

Speaker 2 (01:54:38):
I am the very very kind and sweet one and
the always captivating like I said, Lurana Velasquez plays the
twins in this so you can't get any better than that.
It's the best. When this happened, I was like, Okay,
I'm so glad I had to switch. Yeah again, She's
in Ship of Monsters. I've seen her in a few

(01:54:58):
other Mexican horror film where she plays the same character
named Gloria Venus in Renee Cardona's Doctor of Doom and
The Wrestling Women versus The as Tech Mummy. I could
watch her all day. I definitely need to watch more
of her filmography. I feel like every time we do
HORR Get Back, I'm like, I need to watch more
Mexican horror, but I just I get taken away for
some reason. Anyways, including her, the cast is great mal Ramanti,

(01:55:23):
who plays the Batwoman in Renee Cardona's film The Batwoman,
She's in this, Elizabeth Campbell, who plays She's in a
lot of Luchador horrors that Cardona directed, like The Panther Woman,
Doctor of Doom. I love Doctor Doom. By the way,
A lot of recognizable faces pop up. Yeah, this one
is worth watching. It definitely doesn't have that horror element.
It's labeled as a horror on letterboxed and I'm like

(01:55:45):
maybe IMDb, but it's like sci fi through and through
the idea behind it is, you know, taking lungs from
people's kind of horrific. Totally worth the watch. Then we
go to twenty three. Day twenty three is Hail Satan.
And another one that's been sitting in my watch list,
this one for years. The Devil's Men from nineteen seventy six,

(01:56:06):
also known as Land of the Minotaur.

Speaker 3 (01:56:09):
Oh okay, I haven't seen this one either.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
Directed by costas Kara Janie I think that's how you
say it, and musical score by Brian Eno.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
Really yeah, huh.

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
I got so excited when this happened. Also, at the
end of the movie, there's this great kind of out
of place song where this guy's kind of singing and
it says like song by Paul Williams, but it's not
the Paul Williams. I looked it up, but it's still
it's a catchy tune. Anyways, I was totally sold. The
first three minutes you have a red cloake, Peter Cushing.

(01:56:44):
He's leading a sacrificial ritual where he has this young
girl who's carrying a knife and she murders two adults
while a statue, this huge statue of a minotaur is
just like blowing fire out of its nostrils, and the
minotar is naked, and it has like a little statue
of David Dick. You don't see that till later in
the movie. But then when I see it. When I

(01:57:04):
saw it, I just that's all I think about. But
it has it has music from Eno playing over and
I thought, fuck, yeah, this is this is tailor made
for me. This is hitting my October spot.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:57:16):
Donald Pleasance plays a priest. He's aware of the Satanist
and wants to stop them. That's kind of the whole
premise of the movie. Satan is killing people for like,
you know, for ritualistic reasons. It's filmed in Greece. Again,
beautiful ruins, exterior shots. Cushing is very grand moth tarking
looking because this was filmed just a few months before

(01:57:37):
Star Wars. Okay, and yeah, I, like I said, I
loved this. It hit all my sweet spots. And I
was kind of worried going into it because it has
an unbelievably low rating on Letterboxed for some reason. And
I will admit the ending is terrible. Okay, but Pleasants,
he Pleasants drives this thing as the committed priest. He's

(01:57:58):
trying to convince everyone of the email that is out there.
He's very Loomis before he even played Loomis, because this
is before obviously Halloween. Cushing, of course, is great as
the head Satanist. I mean, not much to say other
than it's very much my speed. There is a scene
where a woman is being chased. This one made me laugh.

(01:58:18):
She's being chased through the woods by men and cloaks
and they have like hoods and they're all just clearly
she's being chased. And when she runs into her boyfriend
or her husband, I forgot who he was. He's like,
what's wrong, and she's like, oh, they're trying to kill me.
And he's like, I don't see anybody, and he says
it's probably just a cow loose in the woods. That's
so fucking specific. I loled pretty hard at that. So,

(01:58:42):
if you haven't seen it The Devil's Men, I really
had fun with it. If you haven't seen it, ignore
the low rating, because but you know me, I'd love
movies that probably deserve low ratings.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
I mean, it's got Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance. I'm
already sold.

Speaker 2 (01:58:57):
Yeah, and Brian Eno doing the music Come on, what
was Your hell? Satan?

Speaker 3 (01:59:02):
I went back to Hong Kong and I watched Satan
Returns from nineteen ninety six. This is on YouTube. It's
a Hong Kong horror crime comedy. A serial killer is
abducting women and cutting out their hearts at the direction
of his master, Satan, who is Satan's looking for his daughter,

(01:59:24):
and it's said that she would be able to survive
having her heart be removed. So any woman born on
June sixth, nineteen sixty nine is a potential victim and
daughter of Satan. Donnie Yen is in this. He's leading
the investigation and he does some of his typical martial
arts moves, you know, like when someone will like throw

(01:59:46):
a can and he'll like kick at midair and it'll
go in the basketball hoop or something like that, you know,
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
That's like demon wind style.

Speaker 3 (01:59:56):
Yeah, stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, Yeah. It's got some
terrible comedy, mostly coming from one of the cops who's
supposed to be the comic relief in this. It's got
some really good gore moments in it, though, but it
is mostly a crime film. In the comedy can be distracting,
and the comedy isn't like an untold story. It's kind

(02:00:17):
of like, oh, let's take a you know, let's have
some tonal whiplash or break for levity, and like the
show just how stupid the cops are before they torture this.

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
Guy kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (02:00:28):
It's not really like that here, but it has enough
in it that I did enjoy it. I think I
probably gave it three stars. Yeah, it's good. Hail Satan,
Hail Satan, and then black and White. This is another
of my favorites of the month. I watched The Beast
with Five Fingers from nineteen forty six and grab this
one from the library. Stars Peter Lourie Nice. There are

(02:00:52):
some murders taking place at the estate of a recently
deceased pianist. His caretaker, a woman like his nurse, is
willed the entire estate and her boyfriend. The deceased pianist, family,
and astrologer Peter Lourie all seem to want a piece

(02:01:12):
of it. The local commissario, this takes place in an
Italian village, is surprised to find out that the main
suspect is not just the deceased pianist, but his severed hand.

Speaker 2 (02:01:26):
Oh shit.

Speaker 3 (02:01:27):
Peter Laurie is great in this. He's very him as
it like he's this bookworm astrologer as I mentioned in this,
who thinks he can find some kind of immortality or
at least death prediction through the stars. And the hand
is awesome in this. It's like it's like proto Adam's family, Like,
oh cool, yeah, it's it's cute. Yeah, so beast with

(02:01:50):
five fingers. In nineteen forty six, one of my favorites,
what about You.

Speaker 2 (02:01:55):
Black and white, I went with the page of Madness
from nineteen twenty six. So this was directed by Tinosuke
ky Nugasa. I'm pretty sure this was included on that
letterbox list you put in Discord the one hundred highest
rated underseen horror film.

Speaker 3 (02:02:09):
Oh okay, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:02:10):
A silent movie, so if I highly recommend it, but
be in the mood for a silent movie. Personally. For me,
I watched it. I watched like seven am one Friday morning.
I was just like, I'm gonna pop this on before work.
My mind and my imagination was very impressionable, and I
just kind of totally got thrown into this movie. It
does have added music. I think the one I watched

(02:02:31):
is from the latest too. I think there's a twenty
sixteen restoration that was released. Some of those can be annoying,
some of the music they add to stuff that's on
YouTube or wherever. This fit fit perfectly. It was really great.
But this one kind of started off. This was my
I was taking notes as I was watching it. Then
I went back to Letterbox and realized I got it wrong.

(02:02:51):
But I went back to like wiki Wikipedia and like
learned the actual plot because it does kind of You're
open to interpret it however you want. But it starts
off like in this asylum or an institution, one story night,
one stormy night, and we get a glimpse into what
some of the patients are experiencing, witness sing like this
exhausting kind of madness that they're going through. We see

(02:03:13):
what they're seeing, which is filmed, like very impressive considering
that this was made in nineteen twenty six. I kept
kind of thinking in the back of my mind when
this was made, and like all the techniques, there's a
lot of like animation over some of the live action stuff,
cameras passing through like bars, of cells, like some of
the stuff from like how they do that. There's this

(02:03:34):
lonely janitor who seems to also be descending into his
own kind of madness as he watches the patients and
their cells. And at first I couldn't tell if he
might be a patient himself, but he seems to have
an old established relationship with one of the one of
the women patients there. And it's difficult to decipher, which

(02:03:54):
is what the whole thing is kind of difficult to
decipher because and that's what helps like kind of turn
this into horror because it's shawt in black and white.
Obviously it's very dark. There's a lot of kind of
like madness going on, no like real killing or anything though,
nothing horrific, but it's just you kind of make up
in your own mind that this is a horror. And
that's why I guess it makes the list because it's

(02:04:15):
kind of like like Begotten, Have you seen Begotten? Where
it's this one which is very much in your face
you know it's horror, but this one just kind of
you lose your thoughts. But I thought very much of
Begotten and stuff, unless she kind of sits in your
own thoughts I read the synopsis, like I said, after
I watched it, and it's a little different. Apparently he

(02:04:36):
was married to one of the patients. She went mad
because she tried to kill herself and their young daughter,
but it didn't happen. There's no dead kid in this. Sorry.
I did read that the actual film was thought to
have been lost for forty five years until it was
rediscovered by the director in a rice barrel he kept
in a storage cabin in nineteen seventy one, which is interesting. Yeah,

(02:04:56):
but again, it's slow. If you're in the mood, it's
incre incredibly easy to get lost in. I highly recommend
it was one of my favorites of the watch and
it's only seventy one minutes long. Page of madness okay.
Made for TV crawl Space from nineteen seventy two. Amanda
mentioned this in Our Fear No Evil made for TV

(02:05:19):
episode directed by John Newland, apparently co directed by Buzz Kulick,
who directed Bad Ronald, which is another great made for
TV banger. So Arthur Kennedy and Teresa Wright play an
old couple who have they've never had children and Kennedy
they're both a pro and this Kennedy's and a ton

(02:05:41):
of Arthur Kennedy's and a ton of Westerns, a lot
of Anthony Mann Western's, like the Man from Laramie Bend
of the River. But he's also in great horrors like
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, Alberto de Martinos, the
Anti Christ. He's in Renee Cardonia Cardona Junior's Cyclone, which
I love him in. Anyway, I love this guy. He's

(02:06:02):
very recognizable. He's kind of like a Joe Cotton, where
he always looks old no matter how, even when he's young.
But yeah, he plays this old guy living with his
old wife. Teresa Wright, who's just as good. She starred
in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. Just this power couple
that we're cast in this TV movie. And okay, imagine this.

(02:06:23):
A furnace repairman comes to your house. Right, you're old,
you're living with your spouse. You know you never had children,
but you kind of wanted children. I know that's hard
to imagine. You're out of the equation. I'm talking directly
to my listeners. So the repairman supposedly fixes the problem,
and he's kind of a weirdo, but you invite him
for dinner because he's worked all day and it's late.

(02:06:46):
He accepts the invitation. At the table, he definitely confirms
that he's not all there, and he sees you have
a quite the library, so he looks at your books.
He begs to borrow this book of Blake's poems, which
you let him borrow, and he's on his way. And
then a couple nights later, you start hearing weird noises

(02:07:06):
in your furnace and you're like, what the fuck's that?
I'm gonna call the furnace guy again, or actually you crawl.
Arthur Kennedy crawls into the crawl space. He sees all
this weird stuff around the furnace and in the crawl
space of their home that looks like somebody has been
living there, and he sees the book that he lent
to the furnace guy. So he calls the furnace company.

(02:07:28):
They send a different guy who's and when you ask
like words the other guy, they're like, oh, he just
quit a couple of days ago. He just quit ands
never showed up. So you figure out, and this is
what happens. This old couple figures out that this weird,
creepy guy that prepared their furnace had returned and started
living in their cross space because I think they were
nice to him. They offered him dinner, they offered him

(02:07:50):
a book, and they're okay with it. They start bringing
him trays of food to the cross space. They even
like yell out to him saying like, hey, if you
want to come up and live in our guest room
by all means. You know, he starts shitting in the
cross space and they can smell it, oh my, through
the kitchen and they he goes down. He's like, hey,
do us a favor, just go up and use the

(02:08:11):
bathroom when you want to. You know, like they're super sweet.
It's very kind of tender, but like you know, you're like,
what the fuck are these people doing. It's it's sad
to watch. And that's pretty much the plot. The wife
becomes completely enamored with this idea that there's somebody living
in their house that she begins signing their Christmas cards
with the guy's name. I think his name was Richard, Yeah, Richard.

(02:08:35):
So she signs like Christmas cards like love you know,
me and my husband and Richard, and the husband's like,
what are you doing? But they become so kind of
like committed and in love with this Richard kid that
they invite him out for Christmas dinner. He finally pops
out for the first time. They have a suit for him.
Then he starts freaking out when they leave. They go
to they leave town for two days. He freaks out.

(02:08:58):
He destroys his grocery, story destroys their place, and he
starts becoming very possessive, saying you can't leave me again.
And you know, it gets it gets very dark, and
that's where like, definitely the horror element comes in. Although
it's terrifying not wanting kids and they're just bringing in
some man and treating them like your kids.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
And he's pooping in your walls.

Speaker 2 (02:09:19):
Yeah, I mean, they don't say it's poop, but he's like,
you know, they say it's she's in the bathroom, So
I'm assuming it's not just like piss either one. I know.
But what was really funny to me is the creepy guy,
the Richard kid. He looked like a skinnier to me.
Bruce McCullough from Kids in the Hall, So I kept thinking, like,
this is some dark, fucking dark comedy. Kids in the

(02:09:42):
Hall episode that I'm watching, and it made it a
lot more fun. It has great music. Jerry Goldsmith does
the score. I do highly recommend it. It's sad and
scary at the time. At the same time, it has
an ending. I kind of wish when a little darker,
but I was very happy with it. But Cross Space
is definitely made for TV movie. More people should watch
What was your pick?

Speaker 3 (02:10:04):
I watched Family Sins from nineteen eighty seven, so terrible
copy on YouTube. This turned out to be more of
a family drama than horror. Really, there is an horror
in this actually, except I guess for parents because a
kid drowns in this.

Speaker 2 (02:10:19):
Oh so you got that to your list? I did.

Speaker 3 (02:10:22):
Yeah. It's basically about this really shitty parent, the father
who's pushing his son Brian to play baseball and he
doesn't want to, and so he favors the other son, Keith,
who's like, i'll play sports dad, I'll do this, I'll
do that, And so Brian lets Keith drown in the

(02:10:44):
lake because Keith is trying to be like, I can
swim all the way to the shore by myself, and
Brian's like, all right, go for it, and then he
gets tired and he just sits there and watches him drown,
So very similar to like leave her to heaven. So
there is that. But the problem with it is is
that the opening scene gives that element away. So like

(02:11:05):
it opens with a they're on the lake, and then
there's this boat pulling up to Brian sitting in a
boat by himself, looking like despondent, and then it flashes
back to however long ago before that, like a few
months earlier, and then it goes through like the dad
being shitty to the kid and being like hit the

(02:11:26):
you know, hit the sports ball, do the thing, and
you know, and and basically like all this shit that
the dad does to him to make to show that
he's favoring the other son, and like how mentally unbalanced
Brian is, and like, you know, like he ends up
he kills a cat in this because like the dad

(02:11:47):
wasn't you know it's a bunny still, because the Dad's like,
you can't keep an animal in the house, and so
Brian's brain is like, Okay, well I have to kill it,
like he doesn't think yeah. Like so the problem this
is like we know where it's going already, rather so
like rather than like think, oh my god, is it
going to go to that? You already know the answer

(02:12:09):
to it. So like the opening gives the movie away,
so it's not very effective and it's messaging at all, Yeah,
which is like, you know, don't be a shitty parent.
Don't make your kids play baseball if they don't fucking
want to.

Speaker 2 (02:12:20):
Parents are the worst.

Speaker 3 (02:12:21):
Yeah, they really are. So yeah, don't be a shitty
sports ball parent, folks, all right. The nineteen seventies. I
watched count Yorga Vampire from nineteen seventy. This is part
of a double release from Arrow that has count Yorga
and count Yorgan's Return and it has two couples, Paul

(02:12:43):
and Erica and Donna and Michael. And it opens with
count Yorga performing the seance and they are trying to
contact Donna's mother. Paul and Erica later end up stranded
on count Yorga's property that's in the hills overlooking La
Yorga attacks Paul and bites Erica sort of without them knowing,

(02:13:05):
like Paul didn't see who hit him. Erica is like
screaming her head off and doesn't really know what happened.
She's turning into a vampire because she got bit. Paul
and Michael start looking into the situation, and they bring
in their blood specialist friend, I'm doctor Jim, and then
they all just like they go to count Yorga's house
and are like, you know, they all suspect him of

(02:13:26):
being a vampire because the blood specialist is like, oh,
I've studied vampires, and it's like you're a doctor in
the seventies and anyway, on the surface, like there's really
nothing special here, but it's just one of those like
very comforting movies to watch where you're like, I know
exactly where this is going, but I just I love

(02:13:47):
all this. I can imagine like being in the drive
in in nineteen seventy and just like, you know, fucking
watching this movie and just loving it. And I'm really
looking forward to watching count Yong's return.

Speaker 2 (02:14:00):
Yeah. I've had this one in my watch list for years.

Speaker 3 (02:14:03):
Yeah, yeah, I definitely I would recommend picking up The
Arrow double because I can't wait to watch the second one.
Like count Yorga is I can't remember the name of
the actor played him, but he's great in this and
he's he just fits as a vampire and I don't know,
it's just I can't. I can't say like, oh my god,

(02:14:24):
this part was so great and this part was so great,
like everything is just the whole movie is just like
a straight line across, very even keeled, but just like
it's like a warm blanket movie. It's only comforting, just
really good.

Speaker 2 (02:14:36):
You can't ask for much more than that. Yeah, my
seventies pick I wanted to throw in like an Italian
kind of Jello if I could. I in The Labyrinth
from nineteen seventy two, directed by Mario Cayano. It's about
a woman whose psychiatrist's boyfriend disappears after she has a
nightmare of him being murdered, and she travels to a

(02:14:58):
seaside village where he went missing and encounters people who
at first tell her they've never seen him before, but
then they start telling him, Oh, yeah, he was here,
so you know, they're hiding a secret and the woman
whose name is Julie. Her investigation leads her to this
house where the mystery just gets more tangled and super strange,

(02:15:19):
until she finally learns what happened to her psychiatrist's boyfriend
and what he was actually involved in. I actually loved
this the weird cast of characters. I think the mystery
was really cool too, because you don't know what's happening
until the very end. They just keeps sprinkling in a
little a little more like what the fuck? Like what
does this have to do with anything? Like just the

(02:15:40):
mystery is just so tangled that it becomes completely captivating.
But the characters are all interesting to keep you entertained
guessing who the suspect is. I mean, a lot doesn't
happen for most of the runtime, but again, they every
character who they're kind of established from the beginning, so

(02:16:00):
you're introduced to all of them. They're all just so
entertaining that I don't really care. It's like a weird
hangout movie where you just can't trust any one of
these people. And I was completely into it. Also, the
lead Rosemary Dexter, she looked like a mashup of Rosalbanieri
and Veronica Heart to me, so.

Speaker 3 (02:16:18):
Oh wow, you were in love.

Speaker 2 (02:16:20):
It did not hurt my interest in all this movie.
A young Sybil Danning's in it. She looked like a
she had really bleach blonde, like a young Barber Steele
in it. She's a very attractive cast even the men,
but the slow jazzy score by Roberto Nicolosi, who was
Baba's main composer, who did Black Sunday, Black Sabbath, The

(02:16:41):
Girl who Knew Too Much, really good music. I really
like this one, so I recommend that one. And then
we get to the Sweetest Taboo. I've seen a couple
of dad, you know, kids films already, and this one
was probably the least impressive. Lady in White from nineteen
eighty eight, I've had this one in my watch list,
so I was like, I'm finally gonna watch it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:03):
Yeah, everyone loves this movie and you'll get it.

Speaker 2 (02:17:06):
It's very wholesome, like yes, like it's.

Speaker 3 (02:17:10):
Well, it's not even like there's even like gore Hounds
are like they have some nostalgia for it. I mean
maybe it's one of those that you had to see
when you were younger, But like I only watched this
a couple of years ago for the book, and I
was like, fuck, does everyone love this movie?

Speaker 2 (02:17:24):
A lot of the reviews I read is that it
like has awesome fall vibes and Halloween, because it does
it takes place over Halloween, but then it moves to Christmas. Technically,
it could be a movie, but yeah, it's just a
weird vibe. It's kind of kid friendly horror, yeah, which,
you know, it does have some dark moments like the
subject matter. It's like about a young girl who's murdered

(02:17:45):
in a cloak room and this young boy, Frankie, he
has a vision of her being murdered while the killer
comes back to look for a ring that fell into
the great and it turns into trying to figure out
who that killer is. The town's kind of racist, trying
to convict like a random black guy in the town.
It's you know, and then the lady in white is

(02:18:06):
like the young girl's dead mother who pops up Mona
from Who's the Boss is in it? Oh that's right,
she pops up and I'm like, oh that's cool. But yeah,
this is probably something I'll never never revisit because it
never sucked me in. And I was kind of hoping
based on a lot of the reviews I saw, like
this is going to be a banger, but I think
I gave it three stars. Some of the scenes were cool,

(02:18:27):
like when the dead child as a ghost is being carried,
it looks cool. Yeah, visual school elements.

Speaker 3 (02:18:31):
Yeah, definitely some moments in it, but like overall, like
I don't I just don't understand like the love for
this movie.

Speaker 2 (02:18:38):
So it feels like, yeah, it feels like a serious
like Disney Moved, like Disney Horror moo yeah or something.
What was Your Sweetest Taboo?

Speaker 3 (02:18:47):
I watched row Roh from twenty nineteen and this was
on two B. It's Malaysian centers around forest demons that
can take the form of humans. So there's this single
mother and her two children, and they live in this
hut sort of separate from the nearest village, like so

(02:19:09):
they're just like kind of deep in the forest by themselves,
and a young girl who they think is from that
village comes to their hut, and then soon really bad
things start happening to the family. A mysterious guy shows
up and is like, Hey, where's that little girl. They
think it's the father, and so they lie about seeing her,

(02:19:31):
but it turns out he was sort of that's halfway true,
but he's kind of like hunting her at the same time.
So I don't want to give too much away. It's
slow burn. There's only a few characters in this. I
think there's six total. That's all that's needed to tell
the story, you know. But even then, with only six characters,

(02:19:52):
you're still trying to figure out, like wait, who can
we try?

Speaker 2 (02:19:55):
Like what?

Speaker 3 (02:19:56):
You know? You still don't quite know what's going on
beautiful Forrest to contrast the you know, the horror that's happening.
I did really enjoy this one. It was from twenty nineteen,
and so my streak of only liking new horror if
it's foreign continues.

Speaker 2 (02:20:11):
Very I'm always happy when you give something like three
stars are up in a later horror movie.

Speaker 3 (02:20:17):
They are always foreign movies. Yeah, well, no, I take
that back. I did. I did like the new Omen
movie and she's.

Speaker 2 (02:20:25):
Like Immaculate too.

Speaker 3 (02:20:26):
It was, yeah, I liked it. I didn't love it
like everyone else was freaking out about it, and I
was like, guys, she's obviously going to kill the baby
with rock.

Speaker 2 (02:20:34):
Come on. Sorry if I just I haven't seen it,
well sorry, I'm just spoiled it for you. That was
when I left. I went to the premiere at south By,
but I just wasn't feeling it. So I left, like,
I mean five minutes.

Speaker 3 (02:20:45):
Since I didn't love Immaculate like people did. I didn't
love the first Omen like people did like I was
like I more. I think they just did a better
job than most horror movies that are trying to make
references to older stuff to be like, hey, look we
can do it. And I'm like, and first Omen was
shot on film too, so it looks great.

Speaker 2 (02:21:04):
That's awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:21:06):
I liked him. I didn't love him. I would never
give either more than three stars. But three stars that's
good for me for a new or for sure, I'm
growing as a person. Don't worry. I'll watch something. I'll
watch Megan two and go back to hating everything. All right.
Then Gothic I change this category like three times, but

(02:21:27):
I finally ended up on The Hunchback of Notre Dame
from nineteen thirty nine. This was on two B the
Star with Charles Lawton as Quasimoto and I. You know,
people have listened to this podcast saying no, I love,
love love Charles Lawton. This is again kind of like
Fano of the Opera, not really horror. Definitely gothic, but

(02:21:49):
it's not really horror at least until the end. Lawton
is so good in this, like he is every single
emotion you can have, like you feel like empathy for him,
feel joy with him, you just you feel everything with him.
He is so fucking good in this And then it
got to the end. The end of this movie is

(02:22:11):
so good. I've never seen a Hunchback of Notre Dame film.
I've never seen the anime, the Disney Want anything like that.
So I didn't I didn't even really know. I knew
kind of the story. I was like, Okay, he's like
he lives in the church because you know, no one
else will have him, and there's you know, the Ramani.
They call them gypsies in this film, so I can

(02:22:32):
use that word. But so I knew like the basic story,
but I didn't know all of it, and seeing this
one it was so good. So it's basically that by
the end, it's Quasimoto against an angry mob. He's in
the church looking down over them, like over like a
balcony or like open not even windows, just like it's

(02:22:55):
just open. They're trying to push their way into the
church because of a conflict that's happening outside. This guy
who's in love with a woman who's who's in the
church for sanctuary reasons because she's accused of killing someone.
This guy wants to remove the sanctuary law so that

(02:23:16):
they can pull her out and kill her. But all
the people are like, no, you can't remove the sanctuary law.
So they go to the church trying to pull her
out because they don't they don't want the sanctuary anyway.
I'm over complicated. The fucking end is all about Quasimoto
against the angry mob. He is pushing rocks over the balcony.

(02:23:36):
He's pouring molten lead over that, and he's just jumping
and laughing and people getting crushed by rocks are getting
like poured with molten fucking metal over it. I watched
this two days after I got laid off, and this
was pure joy. This is what I needed. I needed
to watch this and see like, yes, this is exactly
how I feel about my old company. So yeah, this

(02:23:58):
is the energy. This is full energy that I needed
to watch. And this again another one of my favorites
of the month, not just for the end, but like,
the whole movie is great. Charles A. Lott is fantastic,
four and a half out of five stars.

Speaker 2 (02:24:11):
I loved it. Oh yeah, it's really almost two hours long.
It's long. Nice.

Speaker 3 (02:24:15):
Yeah, it's a long one, and I mean I'm sure
there are going to be some parts that are going
to feel like they're dragging a bit for you. It
feels like a universal horror movie. It's actually r KO.
But I mean it's definitely like in that Wheelhouse. So
give you know, give yourself the time for it. But no,
like when you get to the end, it's just going
to be the best thing ever. It's a good thing
to watch when you're having a really really really bad

(02:24:37):
day like I was.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
That's good, that's awesome. My gothic core was also from
nineteen thirty nine. Oh the Face at the Window. So
this is with Tod starring Todd Slaughter. This is a
quick sixty five minute British horror directed by George King.
Perhaps a bit of a stretch for Gothic, but I
think it works. There's like old architecture. It's nineteen thirty nine,

(02:25:00):
so like the Hammer horre and like all the gothic
stuff isn't really established right. There's a lot of candle oberas,
there's cakes, spooky laboratories, there's talk of a werewolf of Frankenstein,
monster dungeon, secret corridors. Yeah, no, I just it felt
like a Hammer horror film. But in this there's said
to be a wolfman with a terrifying face they usually

(02:25:24):
looking through the window that's killing people, and uh, you know,
the town are trying to figure out who the murder is.
And there's this doctor who's kind of a Frankenstein character.
He's using electricity. They have a scene where he has
electricity and he's bringing a rabbit back to life. Yeah,
it's like, look at his leg twitch. He's all excited,

(02:25:44):
but he wants to try the experiment on the next
victim of the wolf man so that the victim can
come to life to identify the killer. I'm like this
this cool, Yeah, very cool idea. But during this there's
a very melodramatic love triangle and kind of people trying
to frame other people was going on. I was very
into it. Todd Slaughter is amazing in it. He plays

(02:26:06):
the wolfman, who he's kind of an asshole the whole film,
like in his real life human persona, but when he
shows this wolfman character, the makeup is fucking awesome. It's
super creepy. He reminds me very much of a very
like a thin Jerry Stiller, like how he acts, and
he's very kind of like charismatic and the way he

(02:26:27):
delivers his lines that it's just with such conviction where
I'm like, what a great actor this man is. Yeah,
I did post in discord with there are a couple
dummy drops from a bridge into a river. The twist
was surprising, so it's it's worth sticking around. You're not
sticking around much because again it's like just over an
hour long, but yeah, I recommend it facing the the

(02:26:49):
window has really good makeup too. Then we go to
Slasher Day twenty nine. I went with William Girdlers three
on a meat Hook in nineteen seventy two. We all
know Girdler, Abby Risley, Daily Animal. We love him. This
one has been my least favorite of Girdlers, to be

(02:27:10):
honest with you. This is his first film, I believe,
his directorial debut. But for four girls, they take a
vacation to a lake house and their car breaks down.
This man pulls up in a car offers him to
stay the night at his house. They're like, sure, because
it's starting to get you know, bad weather. When they
enter the home, the man's old dad is living there

(02:27:32):
and he's freaking the fuck out, saying they can't stay here.
You know, you know what's gonna happen. The Sun ignores
his dad and in the morning, all the girls have
been murdered, and the dad said, the Sun did it.
They're like, He's like, you did it again. I told you.
You know, leave town for a while, which he does
as the dad cleans up to get rid of the bodies.
And while the Sun is in town, he falls in

(02:27:53):
love with the waitress and it becomes this sappy, long
winded love story of their relationship just you know, block
I mean, and he invites her to his old farmhouse
and she shows up with a friend and obviously this
worries the dad and we kind of go through the
hole what are you doing all over again? Supposedly, this
film's loosely based on the crimes of ed Gean, so

(02:28:15):
you know, I can see why. So like the girls,
they're stabbed, they're blown apart by shotguns, decapitated with axes.
This is all like in the first I don't know,
ten minutes of the movie, and it's super effective. Like
the dead bodies look really gross, like they look like
they're from like Texas Shansaw Massacre. It's kind of gritty
and like just it looks, it looks kind of real,

(02:28:36):
and they're all kind of you know, hung up at
the end spoiler alert. But a lot what I did,
like because I have watched his Asylum of Satan movie
from nineteen seventy two. I think he did that immediately
after finishing Three on a meat Hook. So a lot
of the same cast. They're mostly from like Louisville, Kentucky,
which is where he's from. Just great you know, prime

(02:28:58):
regional horror. And he was only like twenty four twenty
five when he wrote and directed these films, which is
just fucking impressive. The score is amazing. It's like a
great kind of cannibal holocaust ORDELAUNI like sounding score because
it sounds like it's like misplaced kind of acoustic guitar
and like harmonica. Some scenes. There's also weird scenes that

(02:29:21):
go on for about five minutes of like you know,
it's when the sun is like walking a park with
his new waitress girlfriend that he just met, and there's
like a guy singing about being free, like you gotta
live free, Like it makes no sense, like what the
hell's happening. I love what Girdler's going for because it's
so out there, and then I learned that he did

(02:29:42):
most of the music himself. I was like, this guy's
a fucking pro, all right. Yeah, But other than the
initial murders, nothing really happens for like an hour. It's
it's pretty boring, and I could still find some entertainment
scenes and the very wooden performances. The Dad is great
in this. The tonal shifts are pretty wild, because like,
it starts off so horror, but then it's like a

(02:30:03):
love story for like an hour. But I think I'd
have a hard time watching this again unless it was
like programmed and I went to like a Dismember the
Alamo and it happened to be on, I'd be like, oh,
this kind of fits perfectly for a Dismember the Alamo.
It's great title, though it is three on a meat hook.

Speaker 3 (02:30:18):
It's yeah, did you go to dismember this year?

Speaker 2 (02:30:20):
I did every fund of my tickets. I watched like
four Horror Gives Back movies that day, though I was
way behind. Yeah, it was a good lineup, I did.
I saw the lineup. Yeah, some of them I had
never seen either. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:30:35):
The Return to Salem's a Lot was new for me.
I'd never seen it before that one's wild. Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (02:30:42):
Yeah, all right, Moriarty's just like, what what movie are
you in?

Speaker 5 (02:30:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:30:49):
I don't know. As soon as Sam Fuller showed up, though,
I was like, okay, this is fun now anyway, all
right slasher for me? I watched Lady Killers from nineteen
tomks no, this is on YouTube. It's a TV movie
starring Mary Lou Henner, Thomas Collaboro. He was the doctor

(02:31:10):
in melrose Place. Oh okay, and a surprise cameo from
Keith David. Yeah, he wasn't even on listed on letterbox.
So like his name showed up in opening credits or no,
his name wasn't even in opening credits. He showed his
name was in credits at the end, but he showed
up in one scene as a police psychologist.

Speaker 2 (02:31:31):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (02:31:31):
So someone is killing men at a strip club with
a mysterious four bladed knife. Now there are tons of
cover songs in this that the men are dancing to. Lance,
what is your stripper song?

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
What is my stripper song? Man? I don't know, I
got nothing. I'm gonna say, Bonjo, you're living on a prayer.

Speaker 3 (02:31:55):
Okay, I'll take it. You know what, that's better then
it's better than Midnight Oils. Beds are Burning, which is
an actual stripper song in this movie.

Speaker 2 (02:32:06):
Okay, Whistley, why the beds up? Oh? That's good.

Speaker 3 (02:32:10):
Yeah, I'm like, do they not know what that song
is about?

Speaker 1 (02:32:13):
Like?

Speaker 3 (02:32:13):
Are they?

Speaker 2 (02:32:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:32:14):
They think like, oh, the sex is so hot, the
bed is on fire? Is that why they picked? Anyway?
Oh there's another. They do a cover of Nasty by
Janet Jackson. Okay, but they dub or no, they don't dub.
They change the line, Uh, it's you know the line
it's Janet and miss Jackson if you're nasty. Yeah, they

(02:32:38):
change that completely, uh to like it's me your lover
if you're nasty or something stupid like anyway, substitute something else.

Speaker 2 (02:32:51):
That was super pretty expensive to get some of these songs.

Speaker 3 (02:32:54):
They are covers of the songs they probably still have
to I don't. I mean, there's ABC TV movie, so
maybe they had the money for it. I don't know,
but I am curious if the rights were paid for
for any of the songs. But you know, I would
like I would guess maybe because ABC.

Speaker 2 (02:33:14):
Who knows.

Speaker 3 (02:33:14):
But anyway, this is pretty tame. There's lots of drama
after the first Kill. It's mostly like between Mary Lou
Henner and Thomas Collaboro, and they have a relationship and
they're trying to navigate like her being his supervisor. She's
the lieutenant. He's a detective kind of thing. So here's
my pitch for fixing this movie is, Okay, we're in

(02:33:36):
nineteen eighty eight, right, Give this movie to Andrea Bianci,
and this movie would be a fucking banger. It does
have a very jollo ending where one character we meet
once turns out to be the killer. It's not really
a spoiler since there's actually a lot of characters who

(02:33:56):
you only meet once in this movie, so you'll be fine.
But yeah, it is fine. It's weird. The music thing
threw me off, but I was I just I know,
it's a TV movie and that's like the bar that
I set for rating it. But at the same time,
I just sat there wishing that that Bianchi had directed
this instead.

Speaker 2 (02:34:16):
I like to play on the title lady Killers, but
male strippers are being killed.

Speaker 3 (02:34:21):
Well, that's the name of the club too, is the
lay Killers. Yeah I like it that too, But yeah,
there's there's a stripper in there who's definitely like he
looks like like John Michael Thor and it's just you know,
he's got that long, like teased out hair, blonde hair,
and I'm just like, all right, good guy, okay, still me, right, yeah,

(02:34:44):
all right, hammer time, Okay, Hammertime. Case of the Vampire
nineteen sixty three. I watched this on YouTube real quick.
A couple on their honeymoon. They end up stranding in
a small town in Bavaria, where they encountered doctor Robna
and his family. They have Sinister playing for the young wife.
There's a really great surprise moment in the opening, like
the funeral scene where and I'm not spoiling because it's

(02:35:06):
opening scene where their version of Van Helsing just has
a shovel and he just fucking throws it in there
and it just stabs through to the coffin and blood
comes out and everyone's screaming like what the fuck. So
the rest of the movie for a while is very
much kind of for me, was sort of just Hoe
humming along, nothing special. He's got a vampire and his

(02:35:27):
plans and whatever. There's a mask party. But then we
get to the ending. Yes, oh my god, every movie
should end like this. Every movie. Jurassic Park, Blade Runner,
Blazing Saddles. Every fucking movie ever made should end like
this movie, because the fucking castle gets swarmed with bats

(02:35:51):
who all come into the fucking the top room of
the castle that they're in. Fake bets everywhere, Fake BET's killing,
Fake that's fine, Fake that's bumping into each other, fake
bats bumping into walls, fake bets everywhere. This is the
best ending in cinema ever.

Speaker 2 (02:36:06):
Yeah, bad attack. I like your review, Like every fuck
fire horror, Yes should Hammer Horse should end with bats? Yes? Yeah,
this movie fucking rules.

Speaker 3 (02:36:16):
I'm like I said, I was kind of just like, yeah,
like this is great opening and then the rest I'm
just like, yeah, this is fine, Like it's you know, comfortable,
like hammer Hordes whatever, and then the end. Good lord,
greatest thing fucking I've ever seen in my life. I
love it.

Speaker 2 (02:36:32):
Love it, folks.

Speaker 3 (02:36:34):
I am still looking for a Carlo Ramboldi fake bat.
If you have a line on one, I am never
gonna stop looking for one.

Speaker 2 (02:36:42):
Hammer Time, hammer Time. All right, my last two picks.
Here we go. H This was another one on my
watch list for quite some time. The Peter Cushing Jam
The Abominable Snowman from nineteen fifty seven, directed by vow Guest,
So Cushing plays a doctor, a botanist who he was

(02:37:03):
also once an experienced climber that you have to know
this before a tragic accident. But he sent to the
Himalaya Mountains to test plants for medicinal purposes. But it's
actually found that he's sent there to team up with
another expedition who is after the Yetti, which is what
they referred to it as. And his wife is his colleague,

(02:37:27):
and she's completely against him going, especially since the weather's
extremely bad at that time and he shouldn't be climbing,
but Cushing is just too fascinated and goes with a
small group and only one guide who is familiar with
the area. So it's a very it's early hammer, it's
very talky. It's a very talky film. But the filming

(02:37:51):
of the scenes of the expedition on the Snowcap Mountains
they're legit, they're very real. I read that vowl Guest
actually had seasoned climbers and he filmed them in the
French mountains what are they called, the Alps, the Pyrenees
or oh, I don't know, but they actually had real
climbers filmed like doing these they're legit crime climbings, and

(02:38:14):
it's just it's really great to watch. Obviously they weren't
the real actors, but the sets that pop up you
can tell they're created sets with all the snows and
the jagged rocks that they're very they're very impressive to
look at. Good music to accompany the scenes. It's not
your standard Hammer horror, like I said, but Peter Cushing
and the music make it feel like Hammer for sure.

(02:38:37):
And also the Yetti, the snow man who's he's never
a threat because you know, men are hunting him, so
they're the true evil, which you know kind of is
the message here. But yeah, Cushing, he theorizes that. There's
this one scene where he's talking about the evolution of
the Yetti and I could just listen to him talk

(02:38:57):
about that for hours.

Speaker 3 (02:38:59):
Because his hands, while there's no washing hands.

Speaker 2 (02:39:02):
It's cold. Okay, it's gold up there, but yeah, he
just you know, he just sells everything he says, and
every movie's in he's my favorite actor for sure. So
this isn't really a spoiler, but they do end up
killing a YETI about an hour in. But there are
others who are calling, and the calling, like the sounds,
the howling that they're making is super creepy, Like it's

(02:39:22):
actually scary. And there's this one scene where one of
the men from the expedition he sees a yetti and
he dies of fear, and like whether they show his
dead body, Like the expression on his face is super creepy.
It's like this stand by me body, like it sticks
with me, very memorable. They show the face of the yetti,

(02:39:42):
which is funny but also very memorable and something I'll
probably have a nightmare about, like in the next coming days,
because it's weird. It's unlike anything you can imagine, like
when you think of abominal snowman this when this face
pops up, You're like, what the fuck is that? That's terrifying.
I also put into scored another great fall in this.
But yeah, this was fun. I'm glad I finally knocked

(02:40:04):
it off my watch list. I think it was just
on I think it might have been like Daily Motion,
or it might have been on just YouTube Viewer's Choice
last one of the month. So I had never seen
hocus Pocus all the way through, and I watched that.
Actually Halloween night. Sarah's like, put something on that, you
know that's stupid, and she had seen it before, but

(02:40:26):
I did not want to talk about hocus Pocus, so
I was like, I really need to squeeze in my
original pick, and I did last night. Okay, I watched
it at about like midnight. Flesh Eater from nineteen eighty eight.
Bill Heinzman Revenge of the Living Dead as it alsois,
but he wrote, produced, edited start in. It has great

(02:40:49):
animated credits of him just growling. So this takes place
on Halloween night, which was perfect. I wish I'd watched
this on Halloween night. Starts off on a tractor heyride.
I was immediately into it. There was a rancher who
looks a lot like Levon Helm, the drummer from the band.
He's pulling stumps from his property and he comes across

(02:41:11):
a grave and opens up the coffin, and there is
Bill Heinzman popping out. A bunch of kids are you know,
in the same area, kind of camping out for the night,
having a great fun Halloween with beer and music and pot,
and they're all very horny, and the whole movie is
them getting killed and zombies starts spreading to the town.

(02:41:31):
This has really good practical effects, really great gore. Heinzman's
literally shoving his hand into like a girl's stomach and
ripping guts out, you know, pushing his hand through other
girl's chests, kind of like what is it called in
a violent nature? It's like, okay, that's where they got it.
But he's grutting and ground the whole time, taking bites
out of people that are like flesh the size of

(02:41:53):
like a big mac in his mouth. He's ah, but
it's completely plotless. There's no story here at all, just
friends hanging out getting killed off one by one, which
is kind of all you want from a nineteen eighty
zombie flick. So I was completely sold. The Halloween vibes
were great. All the idiot characters die in obscene ways,
and I'm like, this is making me very happy. The

(02:42:14):
only thing that really really threw me off as I
was watching it, because it continuously happened, was the weird editing.
Scenes would just turn to black and You're like, what's
going on? Is there going to be like a two
B commercial? And then no, it goes to like another scene.
So Heinsman obviously doesn't know how an edit a film.

Speaker 3 (02:42:32):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (02:42:33):
Also, the actors have no idea how to really act,
but it's just fun to watch. Luckily, you don't have
to watch them like act and say their lines for
long because when they turn into zombies all they do
is grunt and growl their way through. Yeah again, I
just had a fucking blast. It was one of my
favorites to kind of end all this. The practical effects
were great. Yeah, the ending is very similar to Ramera's

(02:42:54):
Night of the Living Dead. I was kind of expecting
something like that, but you know, goes The ending also
goes on too long, where it's like firemen that are
having taken care of like controlled fires. The ending ruined
kind of like the whole fast pace this for me,
But overall it's a great Halloween film. I think it'd
be fun to watch on Halloween and maybe I'll try

(02:43:16):
doing that one year. All right, your final one.

Speaker 3 (02:43:19):
Yeah, I've got another good one to watch on Halloween.
That's Haunted Ween from nineteen ninety one is on twob
I watched it from the Vinegar Syndrome Homegrown Horrors box set.
I think it's the second one, so twenty years after
the killing of a young girl, I think she's like thirteen.

(02:43:40):
At the Berber House, a Kentucky fraternity decides to throw
a Haunted House fundraiser at the same house. This guy
shows up and is like, here's the keys to the house,
and they don't know that the guy who gave them
the keys is actually the kid who lived there when
he was younger, but his mom like took him away

(02:44:01):
from the house because he's the one who actually killed
the young girl and she gets stabbed through and like decapitated.
They don't show her decapitated on screen, but anyway, so
the man gives him the keys, like here, have your
thing at my house, and he has plans of his
own for this new haunted house because the Berber House
in the past was apparently like the go to place,

(02:44:21):
like they did like a Halloween thing at their house
every year, like a haunted house. And so, yeah, this
was really charming. It was a lot of fun. It
has a title song Haunted Ween Song in it, so
you would love that. There's a lot of RC Cola
in this, and yeah, I can see this becoming a
regular Halloween watch, not maybe not every year, but like

(02:44:43):
every few years for folks but I really liked this one.
I thought it was cute. Okay, So favorite watches from
the month, just as like a quick recap for me,
Hunchback of Notre Dome nineteen thirty nine, East with Five
Fingers from nineteen forty six, The Enchantress not the Enchanting

(02:45:06):
Ghost from nineteen eighty three, ghost Watch obviously in Return
of the Demon, and then also Doppelganger, which we'll get
into now. Yes, what about you, Lance.

Speaker 2 (02:45:18):
I mean, I had a good month. Most of mine
were about three to three and a half. I had
a couple fours. I don't look out anything more than that,
but yeah, Frozen Scream was one of my was probably
my favorite. Empire of Passion from nineteen seventy eight, A
Candle for the Devil was definitely up there. A page
of Madness. I really loved FleshEAteR, I mean, and then

(02:45:39):
the Terrible ones too. I love Blood Tide, I love
the Devil's Men like that. Yeah, only a few that
I would stay away from. Pumpkinhead and yeah, the forty
Curse of the forty nine er. But yeah, I had
a good month. That was a great great horror gifts back.
