The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 12hGhostbusters II we saw like 3 times in a theater when I was 11! I think it gets a bad rap; yeah, it is pretty much a Mad Libs reskinning of 1, but like Home Alone 2 it adds some fun stuff too (Peter MacNichol!). 020
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 15hI have become aware via this site that there are Michael Jackson fans making an organized effort to get “Thriller” to No. 1 on the charts over Halloween (Oct. 30-Nov. 5), aka the “Thriller Challenge”. I am ready to lead a charge in preventing that from happening, who’s with me?!? 020
Reposted by The Rori Horror Picture ShowThe Ranty Highwayman @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No boss, I can't see there's anything problematic with promoting a Michael Jackson tribute for a family clubbing Halloween event. Oh, I'll stick these up outside some primary schools. 291

It inspires them to create in turn. It's a reinforcing triumph of human goodness. Gen Ai is a parasite, and it destroys creativity 1133
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 22hI got a feeling Hexed came out half-baked and they are cutting their losses because of it were good, the potential merchandising gold mine alone would have them all over promoting it. 110
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 22hI saw the trailer before Disclosure Day, but the point is, Whalefall is the only Disney-shingle title until Hexed, and there aren’t any kids’ movies to attached a Hexed clip to until Cat in the Hat, by which point it would be much too late to move the needle. 120
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 22hToo late in the week I reckon, and there's nothing to potentially attach it to for Disney. Maybe when Whalefall arrives we'll get one. 110
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 23hSaw Goose Creek Candle's offering up a Mickey Mouse & Friends-branded set of Christmas candles but one of them having "warm whiskey" as a central scent note feels way too on the nose for This Moment. 011
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 23hNever got around to Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas but saw the other three theatrically. (Also, their direct-to-video Joseph: King of Dreams is the best American DTV film I've ever seen and needs way more love.) 030
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 23hMy oldest niece was into this one for a while, but more importantly there's a Ladybug cross-player I've seen at most of the big Chicagoland conventions I've attended over the past decade. 010
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 23hShock Treatment (1981) spoofed the rise of the Moral Majority but that it's also a pretty direct prediction of how reality TV works...well. Actually there were a bunch of '80s comedies that were knocking at that door, especially the religious angle (Pray TV, In God We Tru$t, Pass the Ammo...) 010

The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A working title for the script was "Bay Window". #TCMParty 130
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026According to an interview with Dante quoted at Wikipedia, the original script was pretty much what we see here except the bad guys WON, and once Universal considered Tom Hanks for the lead, "And suddenly it was like, 'Well, you know we can't kill Tom Hanks.'" #TCMParty 130
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mmmm, looks like the Freelance Shame Squad (TM - MST3K) is in #TheBurbs #TCMParty 020
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026...Yeah, I guess it did. (Used to watch it when it was on the Disney Channel, before it migrated to TBS) 020
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026According to Wikipedia, the street set on the Universal backlot was being used for The New Leave It to Beaver basic cable series prior to being modified for this film! 🤣 #TCMParty #TheBurbs 121
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Not every movie gives you Bruce Dern playing ding-dong-ditch but again that's the Joe Dante difference #TCMParty #TheBurbs 040
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It was short-lived, repealed in 1990 or so. (That said, this is probably the best use of Corey Feldman I've seen, not that I have a lot to go on) #TCMParty 010
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026(TCM will actually be showing that in primetime on the 29th as part of the "Grande Dame Guignol" lineup) #TCMParty 020
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026That the horror movie reference here is Michael Winner's The Sentinel is the Joe Dante difference #TheBurbs #TCMParty 130
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know that the original shorts were running by this point on Tracey Ullman's show, but there is a certain proto-Simpsons humor to this movie. 😀 010
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We knew a few families in my immediate neighborhood as a kid, but nowadays in the subdivision we moved to about 6 years ago, nope! #TCMParty 010
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026February 1989, when #TheBurbs was released, was an odd month. Other movies arriving in theaters included Her Alibi, Who's Harry Crumb?, Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects, Wicked Stepmother, Tap, Cousins, The Fly II, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and the director's cut of Lawrence of Arabia. #TCMParty 130

The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026But doesn't the fact that it's Universal MAKE it International? #TCMParty 020
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's morning again in America with #TheBurbs on #TCMParty 🤪 030

Reposted by The Rori Horror Picture ShowDamon Houx @damonhoux.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Some films seem ended by the death of home video. (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, people actually liked it, but it came out as contentification was taking over so it never got a second life on home video. Never even got to a “I hate GARDEN STATE” style backlash. 022
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I really hate how WB is ruining Halloween and Christmas this year with all this merch and branding. 031

The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I can only hope so. These are not easy times. (I know they never are when you look at the big picture, but it's been so hard on genuine art in particular.) 001
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I was only able to "attend" tonight because of a change in my schedule so I can't be here as it happens every week, but this was fun! (Always nice to squee a bit over old-tyme Halloween media) #Fullmoonfrights 120
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This also continues into the 1980s, though it switches over from supernatural threats to slashers and body horror. 010

The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Maybe it was just the feeling of things falling apart on so many levels in the U.S. at least. People trying to figure out a reason or a rhyme for it. 🤔 #FullMoonFrights 130
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm not sure where the sea change began, maybe in the mid-'90s? 010
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think that's it. There's a pure campy joy to it whereas now we have all this slickness and self-seriousness and ironic detachment (even in entertainment for children) and grossness. 111
The Rori Horror Picture Show @missrori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Maybe it's just nostalgia speaking but there is something to be said about 1970s-'80s Halloween pop culture having a modest, largely homemade cheer and color that's so lacking from how the holiday works in the 21st century. #Fullmoonfrights 1111
