Well, it’s Mahal Empire, so Madsen and Costas are almost certainly the only actors who didn’t pay to be in the film. That one scene they “shared” was definitely not filmed with both in the same room.

“Every time I go on the internet it feels like my head is gonna Ex-Plode!” It was also clearly a “one take and run” film. Michael Madsen literally looks off camera wondering if they are gonna yell cut multiple times… but nope. This is all going in. It’s magical.

This film is amazing. A) Michael Madsen giving zero shits. B) “this isn’t water”. C) Rudy newscaster cameo. D) late career Costas embracing camp cheese. E) “Are you going to finish that banana?”

I’m an absolute sucker for Saw rip offs, but this sadly was very middle of the road. At least have the decency to be cheesy or funny bad.

I used to watch this all the time as a kid. Recorded it off the telly. I knew the song off by heart. I’m not sure I know if it’s good or bad, and I haven’t watched it recently, but: why would you hire maybe the most popular comedy duo in the uk to be your leads and have them share one scene? 🤷‍♂️

This and the next one (the return of Kirsty!) might be my picks for low key highlights of the later sequels. Altho they are both exactly the same film, and that film is Jacob’s Ladder.

The Void is phenomenal. Like you say, Carpenter meets Lovecraft. I’ve loved all their stuff tbh. Even something like Divorced Dad, which seems like a one joke concept, goes utterly batshit Meshes of the Afternoon. They love films and they love making films, and it’s infectious.

That’s really nice of you. I’m never sure about the quality of my stuff, I’m just trying to figure it out as I go, & I hope they’re ok. DotSlashFilm is really good, criminally underseen, I mean it. I got recced a vid of theirs cos we covered the same film, & theirs was (imo) better.

The Thirteenth Chair (1929, dir. Tod Browning) is a dark house mystery film of murder, seances and secrets. A famous stage play, it has little Browning flair BUT get beyond the opening half hour and you're gifted with the answer to 'What if Bela Lugosi played Columbo or Poirot?' and it's good fun.
The Thirteenth Chair title cardA chalk outline of a body, a blood stain visible, illuminated by torchlight Bela Lugosi in light suit and striped tie looking off to the side, deep in thoughtLugosi again, this time in a dark suit. He looks deep in thought again, his hand held up to his chin. Next to him is Margaret Wycherly as Madame La Grange, a fake medium, dressed in dark clothing.

The one that is basically a Saw movie with Doug Bradley popping up at the end for no reason? It was an improvement on the one before and not quite the ashcan films of the ones after, that’s for sure. Cavill was clearly going to be a star tho, and Lance Henriksen is always good fun.

Definitely one of the best, possibly the best, Universal monster movie of the Standard Capital era. Some people don’t like Chaney Jr, too maudlin or dull, but I love that he plays these films dead straight.

Powell and Loy had such great chemistry. It’s overlooked how influential this film was too, mixing Hammett’s cool, bitter noir with screwball comedy.

The Astron 6 lads are great in general, but this is my favourite of theirs. A great giallo pastiche that nails the horror while still being genuinely funny (“Honey, I am in our home!”). Amazing it got made at all, given they ran out of money with barely a third of the film in the can.

This is definitely a good Amicus anthology. A well done collection of old fashioned ghost stories. David Warner and Margaret Leighton really shine in their segments too.

That's a tough one to recall, but i definitely remember seeing the public advert on TV about the dangers of playing near water. It's essentially a micro horror film, and its voiced by none other than Donald Pleasence, which, ironically would have been his birthday today. youtu.be/qfg5_X-Q7y8?...

What a fantastic film. O’Connor has just been doing great work, this is one of his best performances, and Rohrwacher is such a vibe, one of the best modern directors.

Curse of the Demon (1957) A regular October watch for me, and a near perfect classic. I'd prefer the British "Night of..." cut that's 14 minutes longer, but this is what #Svengoolie was showing. I'll say it every time, Dana Anders was a dick, the villain (Niall MacGinnis) was the protagonist for me.

People are mean about that puppet, I think it’s absolutely amazing, an example of a monster meeting expectations (the producer was right and Tourneur was wrong imo), and the film is such a great brew of 50s satanic paranoia tropes. As you say, a near perfect classic.
