It's No Rules November, the one month of the year when we ignore our "under 1000 views" rule. Lance's pick for this month is the necro-romance drama Love Me Deadly. Join us as we fall in love with Fred's sensitivity and find our appreciation for a one-time writer-director's willingness to tackle this subject.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Prepare yourself for the terror the prison of madness. We
have a few inter and none return.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to Unsung Horrors with LUNs and Denica.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Leave all your sanity behind.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It can't help you now.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hello and welcome to another episode of Unsung Horrors, the
podcast where we discuss underseen horror films, specifically those with
less than one thousand views on letterboxed.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm Lance, I'm Erica and Erica. Yes, do you know
what time of year it is?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I can't say it, you have to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's no rules. November. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is the month where we kind of toss out
the rule of under a thousand logs on letterbox But
before you get into the episode, there's something else that's
happening in November. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So this is the last time I'll plug it, I promise.
But coming up on November eighteenth, I have my lecture
with Miss Katonic Institute of Horror Studies. It is online.
It'll be about two hours long. But if you buy
a ticket for it, I think they're about ten bucks,
you do have access to it for up to a
couple of days after that. Because it's at a weird time,
(01:28):
it's like two in the afternoon for us folks. So
I hope to see you guys there. The presentations coming
along great. I've been working on for a long time
and it should be a lot of fun. So hope
to see some familiar names in the chat questions group
whatever in the zoom I guess.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, two hours is a lot is a long time.
That's quite a lot of content. Yeah, but yeah, I
mentioned it a couple episodes ago too. Everybody should just
take a long lunch. Schedule your lunch, do it works,
not that important. Don't stress about work.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Ever. You're going to get fired at some point anytime, anyone.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah, you're expendable. We're all expendable, folks.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We all get laid off, so might as well enjoy
your long lunch breaks. Yeah, and what better way to
do it than the skotonic study fors I think so.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And So this episode now, normally our Horror Gives Back
episode is the first one of November, but I'm going
to be out of town, so that recap episode will
be our next episode. So we're starting November off with
no rules November, right, But.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's wonderful that we're kind of starting off with this
episode and given giving me a little more time to
watch movies for horror gives back because I'm a little
bit behind.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah, I'm going to be watching like three on November
first on my plane ride.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So so yeah, looking forward to doing that long episode.
It's always fun to chat about the sixty two movies,
so right, Yeah, I know we share some picks, but.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, we talk, We talk a lot. Yeah, but no,
let's let's dive into this. No rules.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
November first pick of the month goes to me and
I am picking Love Me Deadly from nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Not since Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho as a motion picture probe
the uncontrollable passions of the mind's darkest corridors with the
violent realism of Love Me Deadly.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Ah, don't cut me.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Doomed to love only the date.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
In this shocking film, you will witness the number before
seen blood curdling rights of the lovers of the dead.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Please just punch with my pick. I think it'll be
fun to talk about.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Please. I love it.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
So.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
This was apparently originally titled Kiss Me Deadly, but the
rights of that title were obviously owned by Mickey Spillane,
who wrote the short or the story for the nineteen
fifty five Robert Aldrich film Kissed Me Deadly, So Love
Me Deadly became the title. The synopsis of the film
is basically about a young woman named Lindsay who has
(04:16):
never really gotten over the death of her father, and
she copes through this long standing grief by making out
and ultimately having sex with Courses and we watched this
while she navigates a relationship with a normal living man who.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Looks a lot like her father.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Mind you, Yes, I've really enjoyed this short and sweet
summary that I found online. It was a coven of
devil worshiping necrophiliacs moved to Los Angeles and sets up
their base of operations out of a funeral home. That's subplot.
It's a little plot. It's a little it's true, but
it has nothing about like the main character in the
(04:55):
whole drive.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of the story, which is Lindsay. But I did appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I take issue with the devil worshiping aspect of it.
I'm like, there's no indication of that. Just they wear
cloaks and like have candles. Like that does not make
you a devil worshiper.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It doesn't but there are hints of like which we'll
get into the ritual stuff, but maybe there's shins of
like cannibalism when they start like tearing people up with
knives and shredding their backs, almost fillying their flesh.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Sure, but also not in you know, directly linked to
devil worship.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That's just yea what some people do, like it has
nothing to do with religion.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, but you know, before we get to you know,
into cast and crew, you know, Lance summarize the film.
We are talking about a film which centers around necrophilia.
Absolutely no kink shaming in this episode. As we mentioned
last last time when Lance mentioned his pick.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
At all, Yeah, we're very much. I think I even
mentioned that we'll probably celebrate.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, I would absolutely do that.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I know that there are some legality issues when it
comes to necrophilia. I know that there are are some
other people who talk about the issue of consent when
it comes to necrophilia. I'm a firm believer in when
you're dead, you're dead, and I mean my body's gone
to science, so like what do I care exactly? But
I am not here to judge anyone else who thinks, like,
(06:15):
you know, your body is sacred and you don't want
anyone fucking it or fucking with it after you're gone,
So we respect that, but just know that, like, we
are not going to be kink shaming anybody who has
this proclivity.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
This is correct.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, there's actually a scene in here that I'll be
talking about where I mean, it's the ultimate nok kink
shaming scene by one of the characters who tried to
explain and introduce the term of necrophilia. But we'll get
into that. You can find Love Me Deadly streaming on YouTube.
There are also a few releases out there. I picked
up the Code Read twenty eighteen Blue IY release for
(06:51):
cheap on eBay. It's out of stock right now on
their site, which includes quote a brand new two K
scan of the original camera negatives of the uncut version
from the thirty five millimeter original negatives. Unlike the other label,
who has one thirty five millimeter edited print, this Code
Read version is authorized by the rights owner Little Passive Aggressive.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But I thought, you know what that's on brand for
Code Read though.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It is, Yeah, and the other label they're referring to
from what I could gather is Shriek Show who released
a DVD back in two thousand and eight. What's funny
is the code red Blu ray that I picked up.
They reuse like the special features from that DVD, mainly
because there wasn't a whole lot out there, and there's
(07:37):
a commentary and audio commentary which I'll be sharing some
tidbits from from the producer Buck Edwards, who passed away
shortly after that Shriek Show release. So there was not
a whole lot of cast members, So.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Let's start with the crew.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
This is directed, written, and directed by high school drama
and English teacher Jack list Sert. This is his soul
writing and acting credit. He also has one acting credit.
He plays the handsome bearded man in the very beginning
before the opening credits that Lindsey makes out with in
the casket. He's the bearded guy. Oh so lucky for
(08:15):
him and.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He gets to kick off the movie makeing out with Linz.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Is it Jack or is it Jacques?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's well, it spelled Jacques, but he went by Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Oh okay, So I guess I should have said that
yeah is spelled like Jacques, g JA C q U
E S.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But he went by Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Okay, So Jack assert there's there's not a lot about
Lessert out there. I did find a short bio on
him on the official Morningside High School pages, which is
where he taught high school in Inglewood, California, and it
reads born May twenty fourth, nineteen twenty eight in Arkansas.
Jack received his associate, bachelor's and master's degree from USC.
(08:54):
He was married, but later divorced Eric Ill assert they
had one son, Lance.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh my godness wow, who.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
As of this writing, is a doctor of psychology in Colorado.
Jack started at MHS in nineteen sixty one, replacing ken
Ton as drama coach. Through the years, he also taught
stage crafts, English, and humanities. He left MHS in nineteen
sixty six to go on sabbatical, but returned again in
nineteen sixty nine, where he remained until nineteen seventy two.
(09:26):
He left to concentrate on writing and directing his first
feature length film, Love Me Deadley, starring Lyle Wagner and
Christopher Stone. He died November third, nineteen eighty eight, in
Los Angeles. I'm kind of surprised that they give the
Love Me Deadly credit on the official high school yeah bio.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Because like, yeah, if anyone is like, you know, on
the reunion committee looking him up and is like, oh,
what's Love Me Deadly? Is that like the Mickey Spellane
Is it related to that?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
And then well ether all lyle Wagner, what from the
Carol Burnett Show.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Okay, this is going to be really good. The music's good.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Maybe they'll play that at reunions, which we'll get into
the songs.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
He can slow dance to these songs.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So most of the crew are all pretty much just
one and done with Love Me Deadly being they're kind
of their only credit. A few of the crew members
have other credits, which I'm just going to go over them,
specifically producer H. B.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hallicky.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
He was a stuntman turned director, and he went on
to write and direct Gone in Sixty Seconds in nineteen
seventy four. He was killed while performing a stunt for
his sequel, Gone in Sixty Seconds Too in nineteen eighty nine.
But We love stuntman turned directors editor Leo H.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Shreve.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He edited Curtis Harrington's Queen of Blood and Voyage to
the Prehistoric Planet from the mid sixties. The makeup and
Love Me Deadly was handled by Al Fleming and Bob Westmoreland.
Fleming also did the makeup for Burnt Offerings, which the
banger Sam peckin Pause to Get Away Steve Klean. West
(11:01):
Moreland did the makeup for a few Spielberg films, like
Close Encounters of the Third Kind nineteen forty one and
his Twilight Zone movie segment.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
West Moreland also did envision in the Body Signer Friday Foster,
which when we talked about with Lars Cars he was
just like, Pam looks better than she ever has and
he's not lion.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, absolutely, I love Friday Foster.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah. There's one other film that Fleming did though that
I can't remember if we talked about it in a
previous hogats Back episode or maybe it was June's plitation,
or maybe it was our No, it wouldn't have been
when Amanda was our guest, but it was a name
for Evil from nineteen seventy three with Robert Colt, where
he shows his cock. That's the guy, the Colt cock Like,
(11:48):
that's where that originated from for our Discord folks, which
is very fitting because we have cock shots in this
as well.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Full frontal nudity.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Mad. Respect, yes, always always respect when it's male and female.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Another thing about both these makeup guys is they play
respectively dead men in this movie. Buck Edwards, a producer,
on the audio commentary, he was very confused. He didn't
he thought, like, you know the main actress, which we'll
get to in a minute, Mary will Cox. He's like,
this was like her last movie, this was all she
ever did, and that's not true. Like he was very confused,
(12:21):
but he did say and he believed that one of
the men who has his nose smashed in the coffin
was Al Fleming. Oh. Ok And then Westmoreland was another
one where she goes to or she has like the
individual session with the dead body in the funeral home.
That's Bob Westmoreland.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Actually a lot of the crew just kind of popped
up in this film. Like he said, the party scene
in the beginning at Lindsay's was pretty much all the
all the crew members, like camera operators, HB. Hallicky was there,
Al Fleming, Westmoreland, They're all just walking around the party.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
So the last remember I really want to bring up
is Phil Moody, who did the score and soundtrack. He
wrote the original songs in this film, one called love
Me Dadley, which plays over the opening credits. It's a
full four minutes, feels like a James Bond original song
opening or something, and then another song called titled You're
(13:20):
Something Special. He also wrote original songs for films like
Paris Follies of nineteen fifty six and Three Nuts in
Search of a Bolt starring Mami van Doren, but the
original songs in this movie are sung by a performer
named Kit Fuller, who also sings the song in the
Saturday the Fourteenth horror comedy sequel Saturday the.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Fourteenth Strikes Back.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I refuse to watch it.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I've never seen it. I've never seen either, honestly. But
you know, like me Joey from the Trash Mechs podcast,
I saw in his review on Letterbox, we're big fans
of original songs and soundtracks and movies. He said, there's
a forty five of the love Me Deadly song out there.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So I'm sure the other side is You're Something Special. Yeah,
but I'll probably close the episode out with that.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So what I want to know, did Kit know this
song was for this movie?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know. I didn't find that information. I would imagine,
because like there's no.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
In the lyrics themselves. It's basically it's a love song
it is, which is fine because you know, again we're
not kinkshaming this. This is what you love, this is
what you do. But I was, you know, one of
my first notes in the opening credits was, does she
know that this song is for this movie? Probably not,
is my guess?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Probably not, because Buck Edwards just say most of this
stuff was filmed illegally, a lot of gorilla filming, no permits,
very friends and family. I think he said the budget
was about forty two thousand dollars, so, which I think
is amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't look like it's a you know,
forty two thousand dollars movie.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He mentioned scenes like the crazy montage mosh montage scenes
where they're all kind of dating and stuff and they
go to like a restaurant. He said that they didn't
have to really pay. Basically, the restaurant owner was like,
if you, I don't know, you buy ten buffets for
the people, I'll let you. I'll let you film for
ten minutes. Oh and he did so, like yeah, so
(15:27):
I bet kit full. I bet He's like, hey, let's
sing this song. It's for a romantic drama that we're working.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I mean those are genre tags for this film, so
I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
This is a romance one hundred percent. There's a lot
of there's like love triangles going on in this and
it's all started by Mary Wilcox, Mary Charlotte Wilcox, who
plays Lindsey, our necrophile young woman. She has a role
in one of my favorite eighties comedies, Strange Brew from
nineteen eighty three starring Rick moranis Dave Thomas, max founced.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I was in it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
She plays a nurse there. If you haven't seen it,
watch it everybody. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
She's also a nurse in Psychic Killer from nineteen seventy five,
which I actually that was an episode in my old podcast.
I did that with my friend Shad from Jump Scare podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh nice.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, did y'all talk about her at all? Is she
just like a nurse in the background.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I honestly, it's been years so I don't remember. Probably
a background thing, but I mean he was hospitalized, so
she might have been like a you know, mid level role.
Maybe Shad will remember. I'll pay him. Yeah, I do
like that movie a lot.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Now, it seems like most of her roles are smaller parts.
She did co star in Eddie Romero's The Beast of
the Yellow Night from nineteen seventy one, but she mainly
worked quite a bit in television, acting in series and
TV movies, like most.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of the cast.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Actually, I read that she apparently left show business entirely
to become an Anglican priest in Canada in.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The nineteen nineties.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Well, all right, how true that is? I don't know,
but I read it online, so it has to be true,
all right, I.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Mean, sure, Yeah, at least it's not like, oh, I'm
quitting to devote myself to popping out babies.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah. No, I feel like I mean to say she
didn't though.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, she probably was in this role and she's like,
I kind of want to be more. I really enjoyed
filming these wake scenes and visitation scenes, so it's doing
I don't know, okay. Next is art gallery turned or
art gallery owner turned husband of Lindsay Alex Martin, played
by Lyle Wagner. He was a television star through and through,
(17:46):
most well known for being the handsome announcer and playing
multiple characters on The Carol Burnett Show from nineteen sixty
seven to nineteen seventy four. But he also played Steve
Trevor in the original Linda Carter Wonder Woman television series
from seventy five to seventy nine. But he was pretty
much popping up in every major TV series during the
(18:06):
seventies and eighties, playing characters on The Love Boat, Happy Days,
Mark and Mendy, Charlie's Angels, Murder, She wrote The Golden Girls,
even popping up in that seventies show episode as Lyle
Wagner because yeah, he was a star, and during the seventies.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I never watched it.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Sound yeah, I couldn't even name that episode, but I
saw that he was on there.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, I think it's funny that he so last episode
I mentioned some random Fred Olan Ray movie Wizards of
the Demon Sword that like someone was involved with from
that show. I think it was Blake Bonner, the main
guy it was in that film. And so with Lyle Wagner,
he is in this movie. So there's way too many
(18:49):
connections from like not on purpose, from last episode to
this one.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
That's funny. He also played Chief boy Rd in Surf two.
The end of the Triller, that's right. Yeah, and he
was in a Murder Weapon from nineteen eighty nine, co
starring LENEA.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Quigley.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So mostly again kind of like Mary Willcox a television actor.
Then we have next in the cast, is I guess
kind of Lindsay's first love interest, the very forceful asshole.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's such a weird relationship. Yeah, we'll get into it,
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah. The character's name is Wade, played by Christopher Stone. Yeah,
probably known as I mean, probably best known as being
d Wallace's husband.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yeah. I think that's his like I don't want to
say like his claim to fame, but it kind of is.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You know what's cute is I was looking when I
was like looking him up again and looking her up again,
I stumbled across this this video that was d Wallace
and Christopher Stone's daughter, who's grown up now, she's probably
our age. She has a family, and for Halloween every
(20:07):
year they do like a themed group costume of d
Wallace movies. So they've done like the Hawleen and Cujo.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I was like, that's cute, that's really cute.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, there's one movie that Christopher Stone did that I watched.
I can't remember what circumstances I was in this world
for and why I watched it, and maybe I just
randomly came across it. But it was a movie called
The Shepherd, and the poster is exponentially better than the
(20:39):
movie and it tries to sell you on like it's
like top gun kind of movie. But the guy is
in a fighter pilot costume holding a sheep.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Was this a Jewane's ploitation? I remember you showing this.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Maybe maybe if that sounds right, it's probably like a
jeane'sploitation movie. But like the description of the film, and
it's directed by Donald W. Tom who also directed A
Fief in the Night, which are these like Christ's flotation,
like you know, bow down to Jesus films. Image of
the Beast is also as a child kills, So it's great.
(21:14):
But yeah, yeah, oh so you're looking at poster.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Okay, Yeah, it's yeah, that's classic. The Shepherd is like
a shiny chrome and he's he's in a pilot outfit,
like a fighter jet pilot get upholding a fucking jeep.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yeah, I mean it's it's so weird and I love
like the description of it is trying to like it
is really trying to sell you as like, you know,
Jesus Christ fighter pilot kind of thing, where it's the
description a father chooses between his enemy and the life
of his own son. Bursting with top gun action, the
Shepherd explodes into the lives and conflicts of the men
(21:49):
who push the edge of supersonic danger while defending our skies.
Isn't God in the sky though, Like what are they defend? Anyway?
The resulting bitterness of a split moment decision that means
split second anyway. I didn't write this. It threatens to
destroy the lives of the widowed wife and her young son. Anyway,
This movie fucking Hanks. It's got a great poster. But
(22:11):
I mean, if you love your Christ's fallutation movies, I
guess it's okay.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And if you're a d Wallace Christopher Stone complete sure.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Another one I recommend is Invisible Mom, which I think
I might have watched for junexploitation. I actually watched the
sequel too, which was terrible, but Invisible Mom I actually
really like. But yeah, Christopher Stone, like Wagner was other
than being married to de Wallace, he was probably most
well known as being what is the recurring character Bill
(22:39):
Horton on Days of Our Lives over seventy episodes. He
was a TV so it was also like he started
the new last ETV series. He popped up on the
aighteen Fantasy Island, also murdered. She wrote, So, yeah, another
TV star. And then finally there's Timothy Scott who plays
Fred Sweeney. He's the funeral director, leader of the quote
(23:01):
devil worshipping graffeitly, I.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Need to find out who wrote that.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
He's another TV series actor, but he does have film roles,
including playing Shagbag from the In the Heat of the Night.
He was in Footloose, also in Fried Green Tomatoes. Yeah,
he has a lot of small parts in some big
movies like Terrence Malex Days of Heaven, which Cassidy and
the Sun Dance Kid, and in John Houston's musical Annie,
(23:29):
which I will say, while the original songs are impressive
and memorable, in Annie, you can't touch the original tunes
here and love me deadly, I'm going to listen to
these over Annie.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Sorry, that's okay, I mean, that's fine. What's funny to
me is that, you know, if you go on letterbox
and you look up Scott's filmography and you go down
to find because they automatically filter and sort these by
film popularity. So if you go down and you find
Love Me Deadly, that row like two other films like
(24:01):
that I've seen and I really love. So it's got
Lolli Madonna from nineteen seventy three, directed by Richard Sarapian.
He's got which Bridges isn't it? Jeff Bridges isn't it?
And it's kind of a hat Field in McCoy situation.
It's really good. I definitely recommend.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah, That's what Buck Edwards kept saying that Scott was
well known in Western work.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He did a lot of Western movies.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, he was also in The Way West, which Kirk Douglas,
Robert Mitcham, Richard Woodmark like hello, like that's great. So yeah,
I mean he's in a lot of like smaller parts
in like really big films. So to me, like he's
got the best filmography out of any anyone in the cast.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, and I do love this cast, but his character
was definitely the best. Yeah, most I felt like committed.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, I mean it looks like a double worshiping cult leader.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, a cabal like yeah, and you know Moonlighting is
a fucking funeral director.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, he tells, Yeah, he looks like a funeral director.
He looks like he should be hired by the tall Man.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Well, the funeral home the mortuaries calling Inside, and that
was actually named because that was the high school that
Jack Lisert taught at. But that's also the mortuary and Phantasm.
So was that inspiration for phantasm?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Well, we'll have to ask Don Costa. Really he does
make the rounds, so.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, he will be our guests for our next episode.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
So I had mentioned that the makeup guys were dead
bodies in this but most of the extras, which Buck
Edward's a producer. In the audio commentary, talked about the
services in the chapel, like the opening scene and actually
in the ritual they came from the Church of Satan.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Oh good for them, so Edward said, they made a
small donation to their church and they were that. He said,
they were more than happy to act as extras in
this film, so mad respect there. The necrophiliac or the
necrophiles a cult. He said it was very difficult to
hire and pay actors to fully disrobe, so he hired
(26:18):
sex workers. Oh and and I got to say, lead
by example. The bald guy in the whole cabal, the ritual,
the short, bald guy with the goate, Yeah, that's producer
Buck Edwards. He's stripping with the sex workers and saving money.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, I gotta say I respect the lead by example approach.
So this movie, you know me, I love the soap
opera melodramas in my horror films, and this is chock
full of that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
This is heavy on the on the melodrama.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, it's definitely written that way. The majority of the
lead actors are known for their television work, which I think, actually,
I don't know. It kind of helps the story for
me personally because I do love these melodramatic feels. It
just comes across as an R rated soap opera because
you do have kind of like these love not really
love triangles, but like swapping of partners almost like you know,
(27:13):
she's dating Wade and then she takes way to the
gallery and she hooks up with Alex and Wade leaves
with somebody from the gallery. It's very soap opera.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, but like Wade is still keeping an eye on
her and sort of not fully stalking, but like you know,
if he is if she's gone, he's like, where have
you been? And then he like follows her to the
funeral home. Wade is not a great person at all,
Like I mean, we've established that from the very beginning
(27:45):
where he nearly rapes her. He does assault her, but
he doesn't like like actually finish because.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She scratches him.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, so it's tough to Yeah, and yeah, Wade's a
fucking dirt bag and it it's tough to watch, and
I respect it, and maybe it could have been explored more,
but I think it does a good job. But Lindsey
struggles with this so.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Well, yeah, so yeah, having him be this character it
makes sense, but it is hard to watch because especially
when not too long after this assault, she's calling him
and she's like, I'm sorry, Like why are you apologizing?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
That's what's difficult to watch, And I it's understandable because
she's struggling with you know, Wade, who's forcing himself on her,
and you know, she, you know, very in a strong
kind of act, scratches him, but then goes over to
hugs her Teddy bear, and we get this flashbag of
flashback of how her father always cared for her if
she was hurt, he would take.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Care of her, give her a teddy bear.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And then when she's introduced to Alex, she immediately becomes
infatuated because he looks so much like her father, and
she starts literally stalking him, but when he tries to
make advances, she pulls away because there's one main problem.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
He's alive.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, but yeah, I just it's it's very it's very
soap operay, but because of these struggles that Lindsay's having,
they're very melodramatic.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I read one review by a guy.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Named Sean Leonard online and it said love me Dadley
is the love child of a soap opera plot and
a German horror movie, which I thought was great because
I guess the necrophilia.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he's referencing necromantic And what
I really like and respect about this is, I mean,
obviously we know like she has some for lack of
a better term, daddy issues going on right, which are
the root of her not being able to have a
(29:49):
quote unquote normal relationship with Wade or with her new husband. Eventually,
new husband Alex. What I do like about this is
at the very end, when and we see what happens
to her father, how he was killed, and her at
his funeral and seeing him in that state and this,
(30:10):
you know, cold and dead and things like that. I
think it does a good job of showing how someone's
brain can get rewired to something like this, because I
don't think it's I mean, and again I'm not like
a psychologists, psychiatrist anything along those lines, but when it
(30:32):
is something like necrophilia, usually I think it can be taught,
you know, traced back to something that happened in your
life earlier that sort of rewired your brain that way.
And that's in that event, that funeral, like the death
of her father in the funeral and her seeing him
(30:53):
in that way, and that's the final way that she
saw him, and so he's frozen literally and you know,
sort of figuratively in her mind that way. So I
think it does a good job in showing like, this
is what can happen to your brain, and like what
you know, what your sexual procl sexual proclivities are when
(31:13):
something happens to you at a certain.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Age, right, Yeah, And that reminds me of the scene
that I already brought up briefly when Fred is explaining
necrophilia to Lindsay where he's like, the word is necrophilia
when you know they're at the cemetery, gets in the car. Again,
there's absolutely no Key King shaming on his part. He's
actually making the whole situation very It's a very sympathetic outlook,
(31:37):
saying like it's people don't accept this passion that we have. Again,
I thought it could be explored a little more, you know,
even specifically like the cabal or the cult and how
that all got together, and I would have liked.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
To see more of their their actions.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
But yeah, it's almost a sympathetic given the viewer, like
an understanding of yeah, this is just something that that
we're going through. It's something that we love to do,
and it's we have to keep it hidden from society
because I mean, at this point when this movie was filmed,
it was not illegal, but obviously it's taboo. You're not
supposed to have sex with the corpse. Yeah, but yeah, same,
(32:15):
I like how it's presented in this case. It's a
very traumatic. You know, we'll just say it right now.
You mentioned it how her father was killed, which she
accidentally shoots him in the face with the shotgun, which
loved that scene. I think the gore's really well done too,
because he gets the shotgun spray in his face and
the blood immediately starts pouring out of the open holes.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And I was like, yeah, there's not very much gore
in it, but when there is gore, it's pretty good.
There's only like a few instances of it. The hustler, Yeah,
the hustler, the sex worker at the beginning who gets
brought back by Fred by Fred, and.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
That scene is so intense.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
It is He's like screaming, like my blood, my blood.
I'm like, okay, no one actually would scream much.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I mean when you're like in shock, like I could feel.
The actor's name is i William Quinn. William Quinn, who
went on to star in the adult film horror The
Climax of Blue Power.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Oh I love. Yeah, he's a lead in it.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Oh okay, that's where Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
He's an amazing actor. I mean you feel his fear
and the pleading for his life as he's getting stuck
with the embalming fluid and it's it's not for the squeamish.
I think it's very intense. It's graphic in a lot
of ways because the blood is I mean a lot
of times the blood looks very Italian paint pleasure. In
(33:39):
this case, it's like dark and it looks like water
down blood on the table that he's laying. It's that's
my favorite scene, but it's also the most kind of
unbearably uncomfortable of the movie.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
It's it's heroine for sure, and like when that scene happened,
I was like, oh, okay, So this is like where
sort of the the real horror element comes in. Like
this group of people is going to be killing folks
so that they have bodies for their for their rituals. Right,
But it does turn that way, but the rest of
(34:11):
the death seem to be more by circumstance versus like
actively going out to find someone to kill, because like
they kill Wade, but that's only because Wade followed her.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah, it's an odd murder scene. Yeah, because he pops
in and one guy's like embalming a dead body and
he just turns around and sticks them with the embalmers.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I mean, Wade should have been fucking minding his own business. Anyway.
So I mean, I'm not here to victim shame, but
it kind of is Waite's fault.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
He's dead.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah, No, I definitely absolutely needed in this movie. He
needed to die, and I was kind of waiting for
him to die because he is, uh, he's written well
as a fucking asshole character. Yeah, but yeah, when he dies.
I do love the whole transition where he's he's stabbed
by the Embalmer's sword and goes down. He's dead on
the floor, but his hands slowly move up and it
transitions into him being tied and hung for file at pined.
(35:03):
But yeah, then it brings up kind of they starts
like cutting open his back and it was like, that's
very So what do they do? Do they have sex
with them or are they just like mang like it
was a little confusing.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, that scene.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I think because that was part of I'm assuming that
part was like her dream, like she saw him die
and then yeah, and so I think that's because it's
the dream. But that's a good question because are they
doing anything else with the bodies besides if they are
killing someone preparing them in order to use them for
(35:36):
sex or to have sex with them, or are they
doing other things with them because they are supposedly also
a devil worshiping.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Right, So that wasn't hinted on or brought up during
the audio commentary at all. Okay, again, Buck Edwards was like,
this is all thrown together. He's like jack list. Sert
really had no direction. He was an inexperienced person who
came up with this script and story. Apparently they had
a falling out the producer, Edwards and Lessert over a
(36:07):
payment of like twenty five hundred dollars where they went
to court. But he kept bringing up he wasn't during
the film. He was like, I really wish you would
have done something different here, very vocal about how uninspiring
the direction was, and he admitted that obviously he was
a high school teacher, he wrote a good story. He
came from stage director. So his belief was that Lessert
(36:29):
was like, Okay, let's put the camera on a tripod
and let's let the actors do what they do, just
a straight shot, which you see a lot of that
on them.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I did see one scene that I loved how it
was shot, when Lindsay's first approached by Fred and he
follows her into the car and they're talking in the car.
The camera's in the back seat, and you see in
the foreground in the windshield in the background of the
casket being loaded up in the hearse while they're facing
each other talking. I was like, that's a great shot.
(36:57):
So he did have like inspiring moments. But Buck Edwards
was basically not very interested in Lissert's direction, and I
think that probably goes also with, you know, a lot
of the confusing decisions made and what the cult was doing.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I don't know, the cult scene was different.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Also, I read too on the Shriek Show release it
was matted to where it didn't show the full frontal nudity.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
The code read correct, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
You always show the full frontal, you know, yes, if
they signed up to be in the movie, I mean
unless like people regret it, but I'm assuming if they
were sex.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Workers literally the money shot the filmmakers paid for that.
So some favorite parts. Do you have any favorite moments
that really pop out from this film?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I don't. Yeah, I mean I have a few of
like like lines that I wrote down as they were
they were happening. I was trying to come up with
a joke for this but I couldn't. But like when
Wade gets killed and I was I made like a note.
I was like, don't be so fucking nosy, Wade, because
like this is this is the moment where she is
finally like she's alone with a body, and she's like
(38:12):
finally able to be with someone, to be with a core.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Because she is not into the group sex scene. No,
it seems she wants a private session. She wants to
be alone with her father in more ways, when I
guess yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
So, and I was trying to come up with a
joke and I was like, you know, poor thing was
finally getting her cold stones off, and then I was like,
that's not it, and then that happened. But anyway, I'll
give that a half thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Okay, Yeah, this was little. I wasn't. I'm not at
my best right now with with the one liners. But
there was another. I think it was Wade when she
you know, she had said she wasn't feeling well and
he came over after being like where were you and
she says, you know, you are kind of warm. Maybe
we should call a doctor, And in my head I
was like, bro, she knows how to cool off next
(38:59):
to a cold stiff.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yes, I like that.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I think so a few things stand out to me.
One I already mentioned about how it really kind of
shows root cause of these sort of alternative kinks, if
you will, the contrast of this whimsical score with the
subject matter. If you took out the necrophilia, this is
(39:25):
a like and it's not like it's not a huge
part of the film at all. Like it happens in
maybe fifteen total minutes of the.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Film, Yeah, which is quite significant.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
It is significant, But like, if you took that out,
you have a completely different film, especially with that score
in there. And like when she's on the street and she's.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Like, go to the art gally, Yeah, it's a Phil
Moody jingle.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Ye that.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Buck Edwards admitted.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
After the first rough cut he hated the dialogue of
like them in the art gallery, them on their dates,
them walking in the park. So he went to Moody
and he's all, throw like a four minute jingle over
all this, We're gonna montage it, and yeah, when it
pops up, it's like, yeah, I'm so happy, this is perfect.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
They'll throw in a couple of like voice stubs over.
Those scenes make this movie so appealing.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
It's it's total whiplash. It's like that phrase is very
much exemplified in this Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Some of my favorite stuff that popped up is obviously
when she accidentally destroys the nose on the corpse, which
is both terrifying realistic but very funny.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh one other quote, sorry, Norupt, but you probably have
this on your list too, So I'm you know, I'm
getting in ahead of you. Something like did anyone ever
tell you what a hot, passionate broad you are?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I didn't have that one.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, and I love how Lindsey meets her future husband
at his brother's funeral. Yes, she's getting ready to she's
waiting for the room to clear out. She's hope, hopefully
gonna you know, smash that nose if you know what
I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Gonna sit on his face, smash that nose.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
And Alex is there to view his dead brothers open casket.
So I had this whole, this whole wedding Crashers canon
popped in my head that Alex is actually a Will
Ferrell type character and he's picking up women saying that's
my brother.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
You know we should get together and yeah, that's wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
One thing I do love about Lindsay though, is how
she treats the obituaries or the funeral notices as single ads.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Basically it says c C DTF cold corpse down the front.
She's circling that one.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
All right. That's the unslung horror joke of the.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Year CDT.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Lindsey going to these these visitations and very bored out
of her skull, blowing on her veil, staring at the
weeping family members and friends of the deceased, and just
like waiting, like, get on with it.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I want to I want to fuck.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
I really love that scene too. What are some other
ones that I have here that I thought was great?
I thought it was very sweet of the cult leader
Fred McSweeney mailing her that letter and being like, hey,
bring a friend if you feel it, you know, an
easy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
I would be stoked if someone sent me a letter
and invited me to a group of people who share
my same sentiments.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Right, and then being respectful to be like, if you're uneasy,
bring somebody.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I thought that was very respectful, and I was like,
you should don't tear that up, don't call wade go.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Yah'd be like, you should be ecstatic that your people
are out there. Like if I got a letter in
the mail and like, hey, we're a film you know
group we like watching kids dying movies, I'd be like,
sign me up, I will be there. I'd be so stoked.
I feel like because my film passion, whatever you want
to call it, I have forced upon other people. I'm like, no,
(43:12):
you guys, like you have to like it. Here's why
it's funny, Like it's not like everyone just naturally was
super you know, like oh yeah, I'm into that too,
Like there there are people out there I know that
are that do have that.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
I was like so happy for her. I'm like, oh
my god, he's so nice. He's sending you letters nd
their little necro you know, necrophile circle, like you should go.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, she doesn't at that point.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
And then one more scene that I especially liked was
at the very end, we're jumping to the end. Now
Alex has murdered her husband because he walks in on
her and she's mounting a dead man and all the
ritual there's a ritual happening. The cole members are around her,
you know, just but ass naked, and Fred, you know,
(44:01):
sees Alex has walked in and he's like, oh shit,
and he looks at the table and there's all these
like dissection tools and they're all sterile looking instruments. And
then you have this like clunky ass wooden handled like
machete like laying there, and he's like, oh, of course
he's going to grab that one. Like what the fuck's
that one doing there? It's like a busted like salvation
(44:23):
army knife.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
Yeah, wood handled weapons are not sanitary along in there.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Yeah, I mean there's probably like chicken bacteria over that
from like the yeah, or just human bodies.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah. But I.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Love that scene where it was like the table of
sterile instruments and a big wooden handled knife mat respect.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
But like the end where Fred actually prepares Alex's body
for her and she is able to like snuggle up
with him and she's finally happy. She's like, I have
a like corpse that looks just like my dad. I
can snuggle up, And you know.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I don't even I don't like how she treats Fred
in that moment. No, because Fred is you know, they
all got the same passion. And I think he's overtaken
by this handsome man laying on the bed. He's you know,
she's taken her time in the other room.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
He might as well have at it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
And then yeah, then Lindsay walks in busts him over
the head with a statue.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Which poor Fred, He's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
He is, he is, he is my favorite.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I'm wondering if we're going to have anything else you
want to talk about. I wonder if we're going to
have the same double feature pick. What's yours?
Speaker 4 (45:36):
I don't know. Mine's pretty like niche, so not niche
for like. But I'm focusing on like one very specific
aspect of the film for the double feet. Oh maybe
we do have.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
It, and we brought it up a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
M Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
I think you know, you mentioned the whole morning side thing,
so I think Phantasm would be a cute double feature
to go with it for that aspect of it. You
got the funeral parlor home all of that aspect aside
from that. But my double feature pick is The Honeymoon
Killers from nineteen seventy. Okay, so we Don't Have It
Down All Right Good, directed by Leonard Castle, starring Tony
(46:12):
lo Bianco as Ray and Shirley Stoller is Martha. They
meet through a singles ad, much like how Lindsay finds
funerals by searching the obituaries her CCDTF and then, even
after Martha discovers that Ray is a con man praying
on single women, she marries him and poses as his
sister as he continues to con other women. You know, besides,
(46:35):
like the newspaper ads announcements sort of connecting these people
with their alternative path to love or whatever. I think
they're both sort of John Waters adjacent and would sort
of work really well as like these different types of
love stories.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (46:54):
This is no rules November, so I'm picking romance drama
I think is the nineteen ninety six film Kissed, directed
by Lynn Stopkowitch. It's roughly based on the real life
nineteen seventy nine case of Karen Greenley.
Speaker 4 (47:09):
Okay, yeah, who.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
At twenty one, she worked as an apprentice embalmer and
stole a hearse that was carrying the body of a
thirty three year old man. She was arrested and later
admitted to having sex with twenty to forty dead men
while she was working at this funeral home. And the
movie follows her from childhood into her adult life, providing
(47:31):
kind of this innocent understanding as to why she did
what she did and why she's into necrophilia. Also necrofilia.
It wasn't illegal in California at the time, so in
real life she got a two hundred and fifty dollars
fine and a few days in jail for stealing the
hearse and interfering with the funeral.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
Yeah, I mean that's cheaper than most other hobbies, right.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
So Lindsay was safe in this movie. If she was arrested,
they would have been like, don't do it.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Any crimes, like just waggon our finger it yet, don't
do that.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
But in Kissed it does a lot what Fred does
and Love Me Deadly, I feel like, which is kind
of provide the sympathetic overview of the act of necrophilia
and what Karen Greenley herself called an addiction. And she
she went around and started like writing poetry and stuff
and would talk about necrophilia. And she kind of toured
(48:26):
the country after she was charged two hundred and fifty
dollars and people knew her case obviously made.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Neck dealers made illegal afterwards. But yeah, kissed. It's like
a quick, like seventy five minute movie. Even better, all right,
last pick of twenty five.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yes, all right. So next episode, as I mentioned earlier,
is going to be our Horror Gets Back recap. That'll
be in November coming out, and then I think this
will come out. My pick episode will come out like
the week of Thanksgiving. Probably we may have a guest.
I'm still figuring that out, but we'll see. But we
(49:04):
are going to be talking about Aunt Alejandra or Latia
Alejandra from nineteen seventy nine, directed by arturro Ripstein. This
is about, you know, the titular character, Aunt Alejandra. She
arrives at her family's home after you know, she's by herself,
and they're like, oh, well you have to come live
with us. Her presence triggers a series of these, you know,
(49:28):
sort of supernatural events that are sort of happening all
around them. Really really fell in love with this movie
the first time I watched it. It's been on my
No Rules November list ever since. So we'll see if
we have a guest for it. But I'm excited to
watch it doesn't matter how many views it has right now,
it's still low though I think it's probably still under
(49:49):
two thousand. This is available to stream on Akru. I'll
put a link in show notes for folks, and I'll
put one in discord when it gets closer, you know,
probably mid month, I'll put that in there for folks
to watch. But yeah, at.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Alejandra, Yeah, I'm excited. And this wasn't planned.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
I had made my Horror Gives Back pick because I
was picking picking a bunch of Mexican horror and I
saw Aunt Alejandra and that's my sweetest taboo pick.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Oh, so it's on my list.
Speaker 3 (50:20):

In this podcast, I'll be joined by a different guest
each week to discuss a classic Western movie or TV show.
I've been a fan of classic westerns for as long
as I can remember, and in recent years they've become
very nostalgic for me. I love the esthetic, the tropes,
and I love seeing different filmmakers takes on.
Speaker 2 (53:50):
Them at their best.
Speaker 8 (53:51):
They're incredibly entertaining, rewatchable, and some of my all time
favorite movies are westerns. We'll mostly focus on Western movies
made in Hollywood, but will also be covering spaghetti westerns
and one thing I'm very excited to get into our
Western TV shows. I've got some amazing guests coming on
the show, film professors, historians, and podcasters and Tumbleweeds and

Leave all your sanity behind.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It can't help you now.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hello and welcome to another episode of Unsung Horrors, the
podcast where we discuss underseen horror films, specifically those with
less than one thousand views on letterboxed.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm Lance, I'm Erica and Erica. Yes, do you know
what time of year it is?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I can't say it, you have to say it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's no rules. November. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is the month where we kind of toss out
the rule of under a thousand logs on letterbox But
before you get into the episode, there's something else that's
happening in November. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So this is the last time I'll plug it, I promise.
But coming up on November eighteenth, I have my lecture
with Miss Katonic Institute of Horror Studies. It is online.
It'll be about two hours long. But if you buy
a ticket for it, I think they're about ten bucks,
you do have access to it for up to a
couple of days after that. Because it's at a weird time,
(01:28):
it's like two in the afternoon for us folks. So
I hope to see you guys there. The presentations coming
along great. I've been working on for a long time
and it should be a lot of fun. So hope
to see some familiar names in the chat questions group
whatever in the zoom I guess.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, two hours is a lot is a long time.
That's quite a lot of content. Yeah, but yeah, I
mentioned it a couple episodes ago too. Everybody should just
take a long lunch. Schedule your lunch, do it works,
not that important. Don't stress about work.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Ever. You're going to get fired at some point anytime, anyone.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah, you're expendable. We're all expendable, folks.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We all get laid off, so might as well enjoy
your long lunch breaks. Yeah, and what better way to
do it than the skotonic study fors I think so.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
And So this episode now, normally our Horror Gives Back
episode is the first one of November, but I'm going
to be out of town, so that recap episode will
be our next episode. So we're starting November off with
no rules November, right, But.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's wonderful that we're kind of starting off with this
episode and given giving me a little more time to
watch movies for horror gives back because I'm a little
bit behind.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah, I'm going to be watching like three on November
first on my plane ride.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So so yeah, looking forward to doing that long episode.
It's always fun to chat about the sixty two movies,
so right, Yeah, I know we share some picks, but.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, we talk, We talk a lot. Yeah, but no,
let's let's dive into this. No rules.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
November first pick of the month goes to me and
I am picking Love Me Deadly from nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Not since Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho as a motion picture probe
the uncontrollable passions of the mind's darkest corridors with the
violent realism of Love Me Deadly.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Ah, don't cut me.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Doomed to love only the date.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
In this shocking film, you will witness the number before
seen blood curdling rights of the lovers of the dead.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Please just punch with my pick. I think it'll be
fun to talk about.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Please. I love it.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
So.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
This was apparently originally titled Kiss Me Deadly, but the
rights of that title were obviously owned by Mickey Spillane,
who wrote the short or the story for the nineteen
fifty five Robert Aldrich film Kissed Me Deadly, So Love
Me Deadly became the title. The synopsis of the film
is basically about a young woman named Lindsay who has
(04:16):
never really gotten over the death of her father, and
she copes through this long standing grief by making out
and ultimately having sex with Courses and we watched this
while she navigates a relationship with a normal living man who.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Looks a lot like her father.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Mind you, Yes, I've really enjoyed this short and sweet
summary that I found online. It was a coven of
devil worshiping necrophiliacs moved to Los Angeles and sets up
their base of operations out of a funeral home. That's subplot.
It's a little plot. It's a little it's true, but
it has nothing about like the main character in the
(04:55):
whole drive.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of the story, which is Lindsay. But I did appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I take issue with the devil worshiping aspect of it.
I'm like, there's no indication of that. Just they wear
cloaks and like have candles. Like that does not make
you a devil worshiper.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It doesn't but there are hints of like which we'll
get into the ritual stuff, but maybe there's shins of
like cannibalism when they start like tearing people up with
knives and shredding their backs, almost fillying their flesh.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Sure, but also not in you know, directly linked to
devil worship.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That's just yea what some people do, like it has
nothing to do with religion.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, but you know, before we get to you know,
into cast and crew, you know, Lance summarize the film.
We are talking about a film which centers around necrophilia.
Absolutely no kink shaming in this episode. As we mentioned
last last time when Lance mentioned his pick.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
At all, Yeah, we're very much. I think I even
mentioned that we'll probably celebrate.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, I would absolutely do that.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I know that there are some legality issues when it
comes to necrophilia. I know that there are are some
other people who talk about the issue of consent when
it comes to necrophilia. I'm a firm believer in when
you're dead, you're dead, and I mean my body's gone
to science, so like what do I care exactly? But
I am not here to judge anyone else who thinks, like,
(06:15):
you know, your body is sacred and you don't want
anyone fucking it or fucking with it after you're gone,
So we respect that, but just know that, like, we
are not going to be kink shaming anybody who has
this proclivity.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
This is correct.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, there's actually a scene in here that I'll be
talking about where I mean, it's the ultimate nok kink
shaming scene by one of the characters who tried to
explain and introduce the term of necrophilia. But we'll get
into that. You can find Love Me Deadly streaming on YouTube.
There are also a few releases out there. I picked
up the Code Read twenty eighteen Blue IY release for
(06:51):
cheap on eBay. It's out of stock right now on
their site, which includes quote a brand new two K
scan of the original camera negatives of the uncut version
from the thirty five millimeter original negatives. Unlike the other label,
who has one thirty five millimeter edited print, this Code
Read version is authorized by the rights owner Little Passive Aggressive.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
But I thought, you know what that's on brand for
Code Read though.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It is, Yeah, and the other label they're referring to
from what I could gather is Shriek Show who released
a DVD back in two thousand and eight. What's funny
is the code red Blu ray that I picked up.
They reuse like the special features from that DVD, mainly
because there wasn't a whole lot out there, and there's
(07:37):
a commentary and audio commentary which I'll be sharing some
tidbits from from the producer Buck Edwards, who passed away
shortly after that Shriek Show release. So there was not
a whole lot of cast members, So.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Let's start with the crew.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
This is directed, written, and directed by high school drama
and English teacher Jack list Sert. This is his soul
writing and acting credit. He also has one acting credit.
He plays the handsome bearded man in the very beginning
before the opening credits that Lindsey makes out with in
the casket. He's the bearded guy. Oh so lucky for
(08:15):
him and.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He gets to kick off the movie makeing out with Linz.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Is it Jack or is it Jacques?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It's well, it spelled Jacques, but he went by Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Oh okay, So I guess I should have said that
yeah is spelled like Jacques, g JA C q U
E S.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But he went by Jack.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Okay, So Jack assert there's there's not a lot about
Lessert out there. I did find a short bio on
him on the official Morningside High School pages, which is
where he taught high school in Inglewood, California, and it
reads born May twenty fourth, nineteen twenty eight in Arkansas.
Jack received his associate, bachelor's and master's degree from USC.
(08:54):
He was married, but later divorced Eric Ill assert they
had one son, Lance.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh my godness wow, who.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
As of this writing, is a doctor of psychology in Colorado.
Jack started at MHS in nineteen sixty one, replacing ken
Ton as drama coach. Through the years, he also taught
stage crafts, English, and humanities. He left MHS in nineteen
sixty six to go on sabbatical, but returned again in
nineteen sixty nine, where he remained until nineteen seventy two.
(09:26):
He left to concentrate on writing and directing his first
feature length film, Love Me Deadley, starring Lyle Wagner and
Christopher Stone. He died November third, nineteen eighty eight, in
Los Angeles. I'm kind of surprised that they give the
Love Me Deadly credit on the official high school yeah bio.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Because like, yeah, if anyone is like, you know, on
the reunion committee looking him up and is like, oh,
what's Love Me Deadly? Is that like the Mickey Spellane
Is it related to that?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
And then well ether all lyle Wagner, what from the
Carol Burnett Show.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Okay, this is going to be really good. The music's good.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Maybe they'll play that at reunions, which we'll get into
the songs.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
He can slow dance to these songs.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So most of the crew are all pretty much just
one and done with Love Me Deadly being they're kind
of their only credit. A few of the crew members
have other credits, which I'm just going to go over them,
specifically producer H. B.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hallicky.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
He was a stuntman turned director, and he went on
to write and direct Gone in Sixty Seconds in nineteen
seventy four. He was killed while performing a stunt for
his sequel, Gone in Sixty Seconds Too in nineteen eighty nine.
But We love stuntman turned directors editor Leo H.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Shreve.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
He edited Curtis Harrington's Queen of Blood and Voyage to
the Prehistoric Planet from the mid sixties. The makeup and
Love Me Deadly was handled by Al Fleming and Bob Westmoreland.
Fleming also did the makeup for Burnt Offerings, which the
banger Sam peckin Pause to Get Away Steve Klean. West
(11:01):
Moreland did the makeup for a few Spielberg films, like
Close Encounters of the Third Kind nineteen forty one and
his Twilight Zone movie segment.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
West Moreland also did envision in the Body Signer Friday Foster,
which when we talked about with Lars Cars he was
just like, Pam looks better than she ever has and
he's not lion.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, absolutely, I love Friday Foster.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah. There's one other film that Fleming did though that
I can't remember if we talked about it in a
previous hogats Back episode or maybe it was June's plitation,
or maybe it was our No, it wouldn't have been
when Amanda was our guest, but it was a name
for Evil from nineteen seventy three with Robert Colt, where
he shows his cock. That's the guy, the Colt cock Like,
(11:48):
that's where that originated from for our Discord folks, which
is very fitting because we have cock shots in this
as well.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Full frontal nudity.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Mad. Respect, yes, always always respect when it's male and female.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Another thing about both these makeup guys is they play
respectively dead men in this movie. Buck Edwards, a producer,
on the audio commentary, he was very confused. He didn't
he thought, like, you know the main actress, which we'll
get to in a minute, Mary will Cox. He's like,
this was like her last movie, this was all she
ever did, and that's not true. Like he was very confused,
(12:21):
but he did say and he believed that one of
the men who has his nose smashed in the coffin
was Al Fleming. Oh. Ok And then Westmoreland was another
one where she goes to or she has like the
individual session with the dead body in the funeral home.
That's Bob Westmoreland.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Actually a lot of the crew just kind of popped
up in this film. Like he said, the party scene
in the beginning at Lindsay's was pretty much all the
all the crew members, like camera operators, HB. Hallicky was there,
Al Fleming, Westmoreland, They're all just walking around the party.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
So the last remember I really want to bring up
is Phil Moody, who did the score and soundtrack. He
wrote the original songs in this film, one called love
Me Dadley, which plays over the opening credits. It's a
full four minutes, feels like a James Bond original song
opening or something, and then another song called titled You're
(13:20):
Something Special. He also wrote original songs for films like
Paris Follies of nineteen fifty six and Three Nuts in
Search of a Bolt starring Mami van Doren, but the
original songs in this movie are sung by a performer
named Kit Fuller, who also sings the song in the
Saturday the Fourteenth horror comedy sequel Saturday the.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Fourteenth Strikes Back.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I refuse to watch it.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I've never seen it. I've never seen either, honestly. But
you know, like me Joey from the Trash Mechs podcast,
I saw in his review on Letterbox, we're big fans
of original songs and soundtracks and movies. He said, there's
a forty five of the love Me Deadly song out there.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I believe it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
So I'm sure the other side is You're Something Special. Yeah,
but I'll probably close the episode out with that.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
So what I want to know, did Kit know this
song was for this movie?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't know. I didn't find that information. I would imagine,
because like there's no.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
In the lyrics themselves. It's basically it's a love song
it is, which is fine because you know, again we're
not kinkshaming this. This is what you love, this is
what you do. But I was, you know, one of
my first notes in the opening credits was, does she
know that this song is for this movie? Probably not,
is my guess?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Probably not, because Buck Edwards just say most of this
stuff was filmed illegally, a lot of gorilla filming, no permits,
very friends and family. I think he said the budget
was about forty two thousand dollars, so, which I think
is amazing.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't look like it's a you know,
forty two thousand dollars movie.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He mentioned scenes like the crazy montage mosh montage scenes
where they're all kind of dating and stuff and they
go to like a restaurant. He said that they didn't
have to really pay. Basically, the restaurant owner was like,
if you, I don't know, you buy ten buffets for
the people, I'll let you. I'll let you film for
ten minutes. Oh and he did so, like yeah, so
(15:27):
I bet kit full. I bet He's like, hey, let's
sing this song. It's for a romantic drama that we're working.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I mean those are genre tags for this film, so
I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
This is a romance one hundred percent. There's a lot
of there's like love triangles going on in this and
it's all started by Mary Wilcox, Mary Charlotte Wilcox, who
plays Lindsey, our necrophile young woman. She has a role
in one of my favorite eighties comedies, Strange Brew from
nineteen eighty three starring Rick moranis Dave Thomas, max founced.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I was in it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
She plays a nurse there. If you haven't seen it,
watch it everybody. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
She's also a nurse in Psychic Killer from nineteen seventy five,
which I actually that was an episode in my old podcast.
I did that with my friend Shad from Jump Scare podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh nice.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah, did y'all talk about her at all? Is she
just like a nurse in the background.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I honestly, it's been years so I don't remember. Probably
a background thing, but I mean he was hospitalized, so
she might have been like a you know, mid level role.
Maybe Shad will remember. I'll pay him. Yeah, I do
like that movie a lot.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Now, it seems like most of her roles are smaller parts.
She did co star in Eddie Romero's The Beast of
the Yellow Night from nineteen seventy one, but she mainly
worked quite a bit in television, acting in series and
TV movies, like most.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of the cast.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Actually, I read that she apparently left show business entirely
to become an Anglican priest in Canada in.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The nineteen nineties.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Well, all right, how true that is? I don't know,
but I read it online, so it has to be true,
all right, I.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Mean, sure, Yeah, at least it's not like, oh, I'm
quitting to devote myself to popping out babies.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah. No, I feel like I mean to say she
didn't though.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, she probably was in this role and she's like,
I kind of want to be more. I really enjoyed
filming these wake scenes and visitation scenes, so it's doing
I don't know, okay. Next is art gallery turned or
art gallery owner turned husband of Lindsay Alex Martin, played
by Lyle Wagner. He was a television star through and through,
(17:46):
most well known for being the handsome announcer and playing
multiple characters on The Carol Burnett Show from nineteen sixty
seven to nineteen seventy four. But he also played Steve
Trevor in the original Linda Carter Wonder Woman television series
from seventy five to seventy nine. But he was pretty
much popping up in every major TV series during the
(18:06):
seventies and eighties, playing characters on The Love Boat, Happy Days,
Mark and Mendy, Charlie's Angels, Murder, She wrote The Golden Girls,
even popping up in that seventies show episode as Lyle
Wagner because yeah, he was a star, and during the seventies.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I never watched it.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Sound yeah, I couldn't even name that episode, but I
saw that he was on there.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, I think it's funny that he so last episode
I mentioned some random Fred Olan Ray movie Wizards of
the Demon Sword that like someone was involved with from
that show. I think it was Blake Bonner, the main
guy it was in that film. And so with Lyle Wagner,
he is in this movie. So there's way too many
(18:49):
connections from like not on purpose, from last episode to
this one.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
That's funny. He also played Chief boy Rd in Surf two.
The end of the Triller, that's right. Yeah, and he
was in a Murder Weapon from nineteen eighty nine, co
starring LENEA.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Quigley.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
So mostly again kind of like Mary Willcox a television actor.
Then we have next in the cast, is I guess
kind of Lindsay's first love interest, the very forceful asshole.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's such a weird relationship. Yeah, we'll get into it,
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah. The character's name is Wade, played by Christopher Stone. Yeah,
probably known as I mean, probably best known as being
d Wallace's husband.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yeah. I think that's his like I don't want to
say like his claim to fame, but it kind of is.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You know what's cute is I was looking when I
was like looking him up again and looking her up again,
I stumbled across this this video that was d Wallace
and Christopher Stone's daughter, who's grown up now, she's probably
our age. She has a family, and for Halloween every
(20:07):
year they do like a themed group costume of d
Wallace movies. So they've done like the Hawleen and Cujo.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I was like, that's cute, that's really cute.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, there's one movie that Christopher Stone did that I watched.
I can't remember what circumstances I was in this world
for and why I watched it, and maybe I just
randomly came across it. But it was a movie called
The Shepherd, and the poster is exponentially better than the
(20:39):
movie and it tries to sell you on like it's
like top gun kind of movie. But the guy is
in a fighter pilot costume holding a sheep.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Was this a Jewane's ploitation? I remember you showing this.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Maybe maybe if that sounds right, it's probably like a
jeane'sploitation movie. But like the description of the film, and
it's directed by Donald W. Tom who also directed A
Fief in the Night, which are these like Christ's flotation,
like you know, bow down to Jesus films. Image of
the Beast is also as a child kills, So it's great.
(21:14):
But yeah, yeah, oh so you're looking at poster.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Okay, Yeah, it's yeah, that's classic. The Shepherd is like
a shiny chrome and he's he's in a pilot outfit,
like a fighter jet pilot get upholding a fucking jeep.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yeah, I mean it's it's so weird and I love
like the description of it is trying to like it
is really trying to sell you as like, you know,
Jesus Christ fighter pilot kind of thing, where it's the
description a father chooses between his enemy and the life
of his own son. Bursting with top gun action, the
Shepherd explodes into the lives and conflicts of the men
(21:49):
who push the edge of supersonic danger while defending our skies.
Isn't God in the sky though, Like what are they defend? Anyway?
The resulting bitterness of a split moment decision that means
split second anyway. I didn't write this. It threatens to
destroy the lives of the widowed wife and her young son. Anyway,
This movie fucking Hanks. It's got a great poster. But
(22:11):
I mean, if you love your Christ's fallutation movies, I
guess it's okay.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And if you're a d Wallace Christopher Stone complete sure.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Another one I recommend is Invisible Mom, which I think
I might have watched for junexploitation. I actually watched the
sequel too, which was terrible, but Invisible Mom I actually
really like. But yeah, Christopher Stone, like Wagner was other
than being married to de Wallace, he was probably most
well known as being what is the recurring character Bill
(22:39):
Horton on Days of Our Lives over seventy episodes. He
was a TV so it was also like he started
the new last ETV series. He popped up on the
aighteen Fantasy Island, also murdered. She wrote, So, yeah, another
TV star. And then finally there's Timothy Scott who plays
Fred Sweeney. He's the funeral director, leader of the quote
(23:01):
devil worshipping graffeitly, I.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Need to find out who wrote that.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
He's another TV series actor, but he does have film roles,
including playing Shagbag from the In the Heat of the Night.
He was in Footloose, also in Fried Green Tomatoes. Yeah,
he has a lot of small parts in some big
movies like Terrence Malex Days of Heaven, which Cassidy and
the Sun Dance Kid, and in John Houston's musical Annie,
(23:29):
which I will say, while the original songs are impressive
and memorable, in Annie, you can't touch the original tunes
here and love me deadly, I'm going to listen to
these over Annie.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Sorry, that's okay, I mean, that's fine. What's funny to
me is that, you know, if you go on letterbox
and you look up Scott's filmography and you go down
to find because they automatically filter and sort these by
film popularity. So if you go down and you find
Love Me Deadly, that row like two other films like
(24:01):
that I've seen and I really love. So it's got
Lolli Madonna from nineteen seventy three, directed by Richard Sarapian.
He's got which Bridges isn't it? Jeff Bridges isn't it?
And it's kind of a hat Field in McCoy situation.
It's really good. I definitely recommend.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah, That's what Buck Edwards kept saying that Scott was
well known in Western work.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
He did a lot of Western movies.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, he was also in The Way West, which Kirk Douglas,
Robert Mitcham, Richard Woodmark like hello, like that's great. So yeah,
I mean he's in a lot of like smaller parts
in like really big films. So to me, like he's
got the best filmography out of any anyone in the cast.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, and I do love this cast, but his character
was definitely the best. Yeah, most I felt like committed.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, I mean it looks like a double worshiping cult leader.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, a cabal like yeah, and you know Moonlighting is
a fucking funeral director.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, he tells, Yeah, he looks like a funeral director.
He looks like he should be hired by the tall Man.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Well, the funeral home the mortuaries calling Inside, and that
was actually named because that was the high school that
Jack Lisert taught at. But that's also the mortuary and Phantasm.
So was that inspiration for phantasm?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Well, we'll have to ask Don Costa. Really he does
make the rounds, so.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, he will be our guests for our next episode.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
So I had mentioned that the makeup guys were dead
bodies in this but most of the extras, which Buck
Edward's a producer. In the audio commentary, talked about the
services in the chapel, like the opening scene and actually
in the ritual they came from the Church of Satan.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
In Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Oh good for them, so Edward said, they made a
small donation to their church and they were that. He said,
they were more than happy to act as extras in
this film, so mad respect there. The necrophiliac or the
necrophiles a cult. He said it was very difficult to
hire and pay actors to fully disrobe, so he hired
(26:18):
sex workers. Oh and and I got to say, lead
by example. The bald guy in the whole cabal, the ritual,
the short, bald guy with the goate, Yeah, that's producer
Buck Edwards. He's stripping with the sex workers and saving money.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, I gotta say I respect the lead by example approach.
So this movie, you know me, I love the soap
opera melodramas in my horror films, and this is chock
full of that.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
This is heavy on the on the melodrama.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, it's definitely written that way. The majority of the
lead actors are known for their television work, which I think, actually,
I don't know. It kind of helps the story for
me personally because I do love these melodramatic feels. It
just comes across as an R rated soap opera because
you do have kind of like these love not really
love triangles, but like swapping of partners almost like you know,
(27:13):
she's dating Wade and then she takes way to the
gallery and she hooks up with Alex and Wade leaves
with somebody from the gallery. It's very soap opera.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah, but like Wade is still keeping an eye on
her and sort of not fully stalking, but like you know,
if he is if she's gone, he's like, where have
you been? And then he like follows her to the
funeral home. Wade is not a great person at all,
Like I mean, we've established that from the very beginning
(27:45):
where he nearly rapes her. He does assault her, but
he doesn't like like actually finish because.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
She scratches him.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, so it's tough to Yeah, and yeah, Wade's a
fucking dirt bag and it it's tough to watch, and
I respect it, and maybe it could have been explored more,
but I think it does a good job. But Lindsey
struggles with this so.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Well, yeah, so yeah, having him be this character it
makes sense, but it is hard to watch because especially
when not too long after this assault, she's calling him
and she's like, I'm sorry, Like why are you apologizing?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
That's what's difficult to watch, And I it's understandable because
she's struggling with you know, Wade, who's forcing himself on her,
and you know, she, you know, very in a strong
kind of act, scratches him, but then goes over to
hugs her Teddy bear, and we get this flashbag of
flashback of how her father always cared for her if
she was hurt, he would take.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Care of her, give her a teddy bear.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And then when she's introduced to Alex, she immediately becomes
infatuated because he looks so much like her father, and
she starts literally stalking him, but when he tries to
make advances, she pulls away because there's one main problem.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
He's alive.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, but yeah, I just it's it's very it's very
soap operay, but because of these struggles that Lindsay's having,
they're very melodramatic.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I read one review by a guy.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Named Sean Leonard online and it said love me Dadley
is the love child of a soap opera plot and
a German horror movie, which I thought was great because
I guess the necrophilia.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he's referencing necromantic And what
I really like and respect about this is, I mean,
obviously we know like she has some for lack of
a better term, daddy issues going on right, which are
the root of her not being able to have a
(29:49):
quote unquote normal relationship with Wade or with her new husband. Eventually,
new husband Alex. What I do like about this is
at the very end, when and we see what happens
to her father, how he was killed, and her at
his funeral and seeing him in that state and this,
(30:10):
you know, cold and dead and things like that. I
think it does a good job of showing how someone's
brain can get rewired to something like this, because I
don't think it's I mean, and again I'm not like
a psychologists, psychiatrist anything along those lines, but when it
(30:32):
is something like necrophilia, usually I think it can be taught,
you know, traced back to something that happened in your
life earlier that sort of rewired your brain that way.
And that's in that event, that funeral, like the death
of her father in the funeral and her seeing him
(30:53):
in that way, and that's the final way that she
saw him, and so he's frozen literally and you know,
sort of figuratively in her mind that way. So I
think it does a good job in showing like, this
is what can happen to your brain, and like what
you know, what your sexual procl sexual proclivities are when
(31:13):
something happens to you at a certain.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Age, right, Yeah, And that reminds me of the scene
that I already brought up briefly when Fred is explaining
necrophilia to Lindsay where he's like, the word is necrophilia
when you know they're at the cemetery, gets in the car. Again,
there's absolutely no Key King shaming on his part. He's
actually making the whole situation very It's a very sympathetic outlook,
(31:37):
saying like it's people don't accept this passion that we have. Again,
I thought it could be explored a little more, you know,
even specifically like the cabal or the cult and how
that all got together, and I would have liked.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
To see more of their their actions.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
But yeah, it's almost a sympathetic given the viewer, like
an understanding of yeah, this is just something that that
we're going through. It's something that we love to do,
and it's we have to keep it hidden from society
because I mean, at this point when this movie was filmed,
it was not illegal, but obviously it's taboo. You're not
supposed to have sex with the corpse. Yeah, but yeah, same,
(32:15):
I like how it's presented in this case. It's a
very traumatic. You know, we'll just say it right now.
You mentioned it how her father was killed, which she
accidentally shoots him in the face with the shotgun, which
loved that scene. I think the gore's really well done too,
because he gets the shotgun spray in his face and
the blood immediately starts pouring out of the open holes.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And I was like, yeah, there's not very much gore
in it, but when there is gore, it's pretty good.
There's only like a few instances of it. The hustler, Yeah,
the hustler, the sex worker at the beginning who gets
brought back by Fred by Fred, and.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
That scene is so intense.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
It is He's like screaming, like my blood, my blood.
I'm like, okay, no one actually would scream much.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I mean when you're like in shock, like I could feel.
The actor's name is i William Quinn. William Quinn, who
went on to star in the adult film horror The
Climax of Blue Power.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Oh I love. Yeah, he's a lead in it.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Oh okay, that's where Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
He's an amazing actor. I mean you feel his fear
and the pleading for his life as he's getting stuck
with the embalming fluid and it's it's not for the squeamish.
I think it's very intense. It's graphic in a lot
of ways because the blood is I mean a lot
of times the blood looks very Italian paint pleasure. In
(33:39):
this case, it's like dark and it looks like water
down blood on the table that he's laying. It's that's
my favorite scene, but it's also the most kind of
unbearably uncomfortable of the movie.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
It's it's heroine for sure, and like when that scene happened,
I was like, oh, okay, So this is like where
sort of the the real horror element comes in. Like
this group of people is going to be killing folks
so that they have bodies for their for their rituals. Right,
But it does turn that way, but the rest of
(34:11):
the death seem to be more by circumstance versus like
actively going out to find someone to kill, because like
they kill Wade, but that's only because Wade followed her.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah, it's an odd murder scene. Yeah, because he pops
in and one guy's like embalming a dead body and
he just turns around and sticks them with the embalmers.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I mean, Wade should have been fucking minding his own business. Anyway.
So I mean, I'm not here to victim shame, but
it kind of is Waite's fault.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
He's dead.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah, No, I definitely absolutely needed in this movie. He
needed to die, and I was kind of waiting for
him to die because he is, uh, he's written well
as a fucking asshole character. Yeah, but yeah, when he dies.
I do love the whole transition where he's he's stabbed
by the Embalmer's sword and goes down. He's dead on
the floor, but his hands slowly move up and it
transitions into him being tied and hung for file at pined.
(35:03):
But yeah, then it brings up kind of they starts
like cutting open his back and it was like, that's
very So what do they do? Do they have sex
with them or are they just like mang like it
was a little confusing.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, that scene.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I think because that was part of I'm assuming that
part was like her dream, like she saw him die
and then yeah, and so I think that's because it's
the dream. But that's a good question because are they
doing anything else with the bodies besides if they are
killing someone preparing them in order to use them for
(35:36):
sex or to have sex with them, or are they
doing other things with them because they are supposedly also
a devil worshiping.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Right, So that wasn't hinted on or brought up during
the audio commentary at all. Okay, again, Buck Edwards was like,
this is all thrown together. He's like jack list. Sert
really had no direction. He was an inexperienced person who
came up with this script and story. Apparently they had
a falling out the producer, Edwards and Lessert over a
(36:07):
payment of like twenty five hundred dollars where they went
to court. But he kept bringing up he wasn't during
the film. He was like, I really wish you would
have done something different here, very vocal about how uninspiring
the direction was, and he admitted that obviously he was
a high school teacher, he wrote a good story. He
came from stage director. So his belief was that Lessert
(36:29):
was like, Okay, let's put the camera on a tripod
and let's let the actors do what they do, just
a straight shot, which you see a lot of that
on them.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I did see one scene that I loved how it
was shot, when Lindsay's first approached by Fred and he
follows her into the car and they're talking in the car.
The camera's in the back seat, and you see in
the foreground in the windshield in the background of the
casket being loaded up in the hearse while they're facing
each other talking. I was like, that's a great shot.
(36:57):
So he did have like inspiring moments. But Buck Edwards
was basically not very interested in Lissert's direction, and I
think that probably goes also with, you know, a lot
of the confusing decisions made and what the cult was doing.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
I don't know, the cult scene was different.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Also, I read too on the Shriek Show release it
was matted to where it didn't show the full frontal nudity.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
The code read correct, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
You always show the full frontal, you know, yes, if
they signed up to be in the movie, I mean
unless like people regret it, but I'm assuming if they
were sex.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Workers literally the money shot the filmmakers paid for that.
So some favorite parts. Do you have any favorite moments
that really pop out from this film?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I don't. Yeah, I mean I have a few of
like like lines that I wrote down as they were
they were happening. I was trying to come up with
a joke for this but I couldn't. But like when
Wade gets killed and I was I made like a note.
I was like, don't be so fucking nosy, Wade, because
like this is this is the moment where she is
finally like she's alone with a body, and she's like
(38:12):
finally able to be with someone, to be with a core.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Because she is not into the group sex scene. No,
it seems she wants a private session. She wants to
be alone with her father in more ways, when I
guess yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
So, and I was trying to come up with a
joke and I was like, you know, poor thing was
finally getting her cold stones off, and then I was like,
that's not it, and then that happened. But anyway, I'll
give that a half thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Okay, Yeah, this was little. I wasn't. I'm not at
my best right now with with the one liners. But
there was another. I think it was Wade when she
you know, she had said she wasn't feeling well and
he came over after being like where were you and
she says, you know, you are kind of warm. Maybe
we should call a doctor, And in my head I
was like, bro, she knows how to cool off next
(38:59):
to a cold stiff.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yes, I like that.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I think so a few things stand out to me.
One I already mentioned about how it really kind of
shows root cause of these sort of alternative kinks, if
you will, the contrast of this whimsical score with the
subject matter. If you took out the necrophilia, this is
(39:25):
a like and it's not like it's not a huge
part of the film at all. Like it happens in
maybe fifteen total minutes of the.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Film, Yeah, which is quite significant.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
It is significant, But like, if you took that out,
you have a completely different film, especially with that score
in there. And like when she's on the street and she's.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Like, go to the art gally, Yeah, it's a Phil
Moody jingle.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Ye that.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Buck Edwards admitted.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
After the first rough cut he hated the dialogue of
like them in the art gallery, them on their dates,
them walking in the park. So he went to Moody
and he's all, throw like a four minute jingle over
all this, We're gonna montage it, and yeah, when it
pops up, it's like, yeah, I'm so happy, this is perfect.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
They'll throw in a couple of like voice stubs over.
Those scenes make this movie so appealing.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
It's it's total whiplash. It's like that phrase is very
much exemplified in this Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Some of my favorite stuff that popped up is obviously
when she accidentally destroys the nose on the corpse, which
is both terrifying realistic but very funny.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Oh one other quote, sorry, Norupt, but you probably have
this on your list too, So I'm you know, I'm
getting in ahead of you. Something like did anyone ever
tell you what a hot, passionate broad you are?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
I didn't have that one.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah, and I love how Lindsey meets her future husband
at his brother's funeral. Yes, she's getting ready to she's
waiting for the room to clear out. She's hope, hopefully
gonna you know, smash that nose if you know what
I mean, it's.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Gonna sit on his face, smash that nose.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
And Alex is there to view his dead brothers open casket.
So I had this whole, this whole wedding Crashers canon
popped in my head that Alex is actually a Will
Ferrell type character and he's picking up women saying that's
my brother.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
You know we should get together and yeah, that's wedding crashers.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
One thing I do love about Lindsay though, is how
she treats the obituaries or the funeral notices as single ads.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Basically it says c C DTF cold corpse down the front.
She's circling that one.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
All right. That's the unslung horror joke of the.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Year CDT.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Lindsey going to these these visitations and very bored out
of her skull, blowing on her veil, staring at the
weeping family members and friends of the deceased, and just
like waiting, like, get on with it.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I want to I want to fuck.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
I really love that scene too. What are some other
ones that I have here that I thought was great?
I thought it was very sweet of the cult leader
Fred McSweeney mailing her that letter and being like, hey,
bring a friend if you feel it, you know, an
easy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
I would be stoked if someone sent me a letter
and invited me to a group of people who share
my same sentiments.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Right, and then being respectful to be like, if you're uneasy,
bring somebody.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I thought that was very respectful, and I was like,
you should don't tear that up, don't call wade go.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Yah'd be like, you should be ecstatic that your people
are out there. Like if I got a letter in
the mail and like, hey, we're a film you know
group we like watching kids dying movies, I'd be like,
sign me up, I will be there. I'd be so stoked.
I feel like because my film passion, whatever you want
to call it, I have forced upon other people. I'm like, no,
(43:12):
you guys, like you have to like it. Here's why
it's funny, Like it's not like everyone just naturally was
super you know, like oh yeah, I'm into that too,
Like there there are people out there I know that
are that do have that.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
I was like so happy for her. I'm like, oh
my god, he's so nice. He's sending you letters nd
their little necro you know, necrophile circle, like you should go.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, she doesn't at that point.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
And then one more scene that I especially liked was
at the very end, we're jumping to the end. Now
Alex has murdered her husband because he walks in on
her and she's mounting a dead man and all the
ritual there's a ritual happening. The cole members are around her,
you know, just but ass naked, and Fred, you know,
(44:01):
sees Alex has walked in and he's like, oh shit,
and he looks at the table and there's all these
like dissection tools and they're all sterile looking instruments. And
then you have this like clunky ass wooden handled like
machete like laying there, and he's like, oh, of course
he's going to grab that one. Like what the fuck's
that one doing there? It's like a busted like salvation
(44:23):
army knife.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
Yeah, wood handled weapons are not sanitary along in there.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Yeah, I mean there's probably like chicken bacteria over that
from like the yeah, or just human bodies.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah. But I.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Love that scene where it was like the table of
sterile instruments and a big wooden handled knife mat respect.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
But like the end where Fred actually prepares Alex's body
for her and she is able to like snuggle up
with him and she's finally happy. She's like, I have
a like corpse that looks just like my dad. I
can snuggle up, And you know.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
I don't even I don't like how she treats Fred
in that moment. No, because Fred is you know, they
all got the same passion. And I think he's overtaken
by this handsome man laying on the bed. He's you know,
she's taken her time in the other room.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
He might as well have at it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
And then yeah, then Lindsay walks in busts him over
the head with a statue.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Which poor Fred, He's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
He is, he is, he is my favorite.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I'm wondering if we're going to have anything else you
want to talk about. I wonder if we're going to
have the same double feature pick. What's yours?
Speaker 4 (45:36):
I don't know. Mine's pretty like niche, so not niche
for like. But I'm focusing on like one very specific
aspect of the film for the double feet. Oh maybe
we do have.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
It, and we brought it up a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (45:47):
M Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
I think you know, you mentioned the whole morning side thing,
so I think Phantasm would be a cute double feature
to go with it for that aspect of it. You
got the funeral parlor home all of that aspect aside
from that. But my double feature pick is The Honeymoon
Killers from nineteen seventy. Okay, so we Don't Have It
Down All Right Good, directed by Leonard Castle, starring Tony
(46:12):
lo Bianco as Ray and Shirley Stoller is Martha. They
meet through a singles ad, much like how Lindsay finds
funerals by searching the obituaries her CCDTF and then, even
after Martha discovers that Ray is a con man praying
on single women, she marries him and poses as his
sister as he continues to con other women. You know, besides,
(46:35):
like the newspaper ads announcements sort of connecting these people
with their alternative path to love or whatever. I think
they're both sort of John Waters adjacent and would sort
of work really well as like these different types of
love stories.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (46:54):
This is no rules November, so I'm picking romance drama
I think is the nineteen ninety six film Kissed, directed
by Lynn Stopkowitch. It's roughly based on the real life
nineteen seventy nine case of Karen Greenley.
Speaker 4 (47:09):
Okay, yeah, who.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
At twenty one, she worked as an apprentice embalmer and
stole a hearse that was carrying the body of a
thirty three year old man. She was arrested and later
admitted to having sex with twenty to forty dead men
while she was working at this funeral home. And the
movie follows her from childhood into her adult life, providing
(47:31):
kind of this innocent understanding as to why she did
what she did and why she's into necrophilia. Also necrofilia.
It wasn't illegal in California at the time, so in
real life she got a two hundred and fifty dollars
fine and a few days in jail for stealing the
hearse and interfering with the funeral.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
Yeah, I mean that's cheaper than most other hobbies, right.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
So Lindsay was safe in this movie. If she was arrested,
they would have been like, don't do it.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Any crimes, like just waggon our finger it yet, don't
do that.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
But in Kissed it does a lot what Fred does
and Love Me Deadly, I feel like, which is kind
of provide the sympathetic overview of the act of necrophilia
and what Karen Greenley herself called an addiction. And she
she went around and started like writing poetry and stuff
and would talk about necrophilia. And she kind of toured
(48:26):
the country after she was charged two hundred and fifty
dollars and people knew her case obviously made.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Neck dealers made illegal afterwards. But yeah, kissed. It's like
a quick, like seventy five minute movie. Even better, all right,
last pick of twenty five.
Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yes, all right. So next episode, as I mentioned earlier,
is going to be our Horror Gets Back recap. That'll
be in November coming out, and then I think this
will come out. My pick episode will come out like
the week of Thanksgiving. Probably we may have a guest.
I'm still figuring that out, but we'll see. But we
(49:04):
are going to be talking about Aunt Alejandra or Latia
Alejandra from nineteen seventy nine, directed by arturro Ripstein. This
is about, you know, the titular character, Aunt Alejandra. She
arrives at her family's home after you know, she's by herself,
and they're like, oh, well you have to come live
with us. Her presence triggers a series of these, you know,
(49:28):
sort of supernatural events that are sort of happening all
around them. Really really fell in love with this movie
the first time I watched it. It's been on my
No Rules November list ever since. So we'll see if
we have a guest for it. But I'm excited to
watch it doesn't matter how many views it has right now,
it's still low though I think it's probably still under
(49:49):
two thousand. This is available to stream on Akru. I'll
put a link in show notes for folks, and I'll
put one in discord when it gets closer, you know,
probably mid month, I'll put that in there for folks
to watch. But yeah, at.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
Alejandra, Yeah, I'm excited. And this wasn't planned.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
I had made my Horror Gives Back pick because I
was picking picking a bunch of Mexican horror and I
saw Aunt Alejandra and that's my sweetest taboo pick.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Oh, so it's on my list.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
I haven't watched it yet, so I'm glad I can
watch that as a Horror is backpick and our next
