- Ah, Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker...or is that Night Warning...a movie with not one but two "uh...okay? no idea what that means" titles. I'm so glad it's gotten some These Modern Times re-releases because for so long it was hard to find and woefully underseen--though really it's probably still woefully underseen, and that's a crime. It's bonkers and juicy and it goes without saying that Susan Tyrell makes it more than worth your while.
- Nice to see some unexpected films in this list-chunk: Bound and Beloved.
- "Blood of Dracula's Castle" sounds like such a made-up title! I mean, all titles are made-up titles, of course, but you know what I mean. It would have made a fine episode of Ghostella's Haunted Tomb back in the day is what I am saying.
- A reader on the inimitable, unexplainable Blood Diner: "Slapstick gory humor, gratuitous nudity, gratuitous KUNG FU nudity, random talking dummy that everyone acknowledges as a normal human, multiple actors who aren’t actors, several quotable lines. The humans in this movie don’t speak or act like real humans, and that only dials up the cartoonish gore and vaudevillian inspired comedy even more."
- For some reason I've been thinking about rewatching Blair Witch lately. Should I? Apparently one reader would say yes. I saw it in the theatre and didn't like it--was that just because it was 2016? Was it because I hold The Blair Witch Project too dear? I feel like I should give it another chance.
- Goodness gracious I love Bloody Birthday. I really do adore a killer kids flick and I think that's one of the best.
Welp, neither “Dracula vs Frankenstein” nor “The Incredible Melting Man” (yes, I watched it AGAIN the other day) made the list. My bad. There’s always next year!
ReplyDeleteMan, I loved 'Ghostella's Haunted Tomb', 'The Scare-ening' and all that fun stuff you and Heidi used to do.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful time, before my life went to complete crap.
Ah thanks, Cash! (and <3 ) Making Ghostella episodes is probably the most fun I've ever had doing anything, so I'm glad they were fun to watch as well. And I can't believe The Scare-ening was a frickin' live call-in show. The idea of having unvetted callers just...on the air chills me to my core, there's no way I'd do it now :D
DeleteAh yes, Blair Witch - I remember really jonesing to see it again a couple of Octobers ago and - you know. It's fine. It's ok. It's not a disgrace. But they probably shouldn't have bothered. TBH I think Book of Shadows is actually the more interesting (albeit deeply flawed) sequel.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, slightly shocked that Susan Tyrell's finest hour didn't get more than 1 vote. It's somewhere in my top 100 but not in my top 20, but it's pretty gr8! I loved that the deeply homophobic cop is the secondary villain, and pretty much for the reason of his homophobia.
"in my top 100 but not my top 20" is exactly how I feel about it!
