As you would expect, things go awry.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With experimental treatments really hitting the public eye in the eighties there were a glut of B-movies about mad scientist's work spiralling out of control. However, the floodgates really opened with the cult success of <i>Re-Animator</i> in 1985 and <i>The Rejuvenator</i> was no doubt a by-product of this boom.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you can see by the cover, this movie presents itself as an FX picture and thankfully they had <b>Ed French</b> there to steer that ship. French worked on a ton of notable pictures from the eighties, including <i>The Stuff</i>, <i>C.H.U.D</i> & <i>Creepshow 2</i> so he was well versed in bringing creatures to the screen. The evolution of the effects in <i>The Rejuvenator</i> is fun to watch and kudos to Lanko because she was a trooper. Acting with what must have been at least ten pounds strapped to the back of her head for hours on end must have been unpleasant to say the least.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrsHicfvmp7m-hnZ9A924roythZ46JQD2ru-LMdSwfsEXAarDxkoJ1o5vcZPXbAQK-tr-OA7WW86keddYSAnn8de6O0WtnHuo8EtGTvgQr_DRx7I0uj82vfuJPKYIWkp6-7sRKF69vVIEy6vllDeJt2etEfpKdiH6sXDld5ru6Zu1OUGoif-IWE8fl3zM/s300/rejuvntr.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="300" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrsHicfvmp7m-hnZ9A924roythZ46JQD2ru-LMdSwfsEXAarDxkoJ1o5vcZPXbAQK-tr-OA7WW86keddYSAnn8de6O0WtnHuo8EtGTvgQr_DRx7I0uj82vfuJPKYIWkp6-7sRKF69vVIEy6vllDeJt2etEfpKdiH6sXDld5ru6Zu1OUGoif-IWE8fl3zM/w400-h244/rejuvntr.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And that's not even mentioning the air bladders galore, or the bonus mutant rats throughout.

By this point, Lizzie was sucking the brain juice right out of people's heads, cutting out the middle man so to speak. Soon after, the place is raided by the authorities, half of whom look like mob goons and cab drivers rather than detectives, and you can guess what happens next....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No one would say <i>The Rejuvenator</i> is top tier stuff, but despite being pretty dry for the first half-hour, it does have a lot of what you look for in an eighties FX picture so it's worth checking out if that's your bag - and you're reading this so I assume it is.</div>Jay Clarkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00943870346156273403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-31426356052566178622024-03-12T19:18:00.001-04:002024-03-12T19:18:20.909-04:00Halloween Meets Three-Mile Island.<div style="text-align: justify;">I just wanted to post about something really cool I discovered recently. I think a few sites wrote about this last year, but I didn't hear about until a friend of mine told me about a treasure trove of unproduced movie scripts over at <a href="https://archive.org/">archive.org</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So legend has it that circa 1977, <b>John Carpenter</b> took a job writing a script for a project called <i>Prometheus Crisis</i>. This screenplay, which was later called <i>Meltdown</i>, is essentially "Halloween in a nuclear power plant".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZCf3WV90vaKcbWVzniOvZFHuUDiNoXe-TkDlVbk8zXZPabp7ERhpOnri2Bu4N3hdm_hQQLrctQePPXPGVBv2ZBOX9_PhYZ2njYPu-UDhoWtB94ag7-hc5beDg3iRQ3cPG3u8x5eIMxHHw8MJcOT3G1fENlrNMPMvK9YKv_tr8VqofEbJ-9I-NXcjClKs/s557/meltdown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="435" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZCf3WV90vaKcbWVzniOvZFHuUDiNoXe-TkDlVbk8zXZPabp7ERhpOnri2Bu4N3hdm_hQQLrctQePPXPGVBv2ZBOX9_PhYZ2njYPu-UDhoWtB94ag7-hc5beDg3iRQ3cPG3u8x5eIMxHHw8MJcOT3G1fENlrNMPMvK9YKv_tr8VqofEbJ-9I-NXcjClKs/w313-h400/meltdown.jpg" width="313" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This script is fascinating for a few reasons. If you read it (you can <a href="https://script-fix.com/meltdown-unproduced-script-john-carpenter/" target="_blank">find it here</a>), you can see elements that would later end up in his future projects. The characters arriving and exploring the abandoned facility echoes that of MacCready and Doc Copper at the Norwegian camp in <i>The Thing</i> and there is a sequence that would be lifted verbatim a decade later for <i>Prince of Darkness</i>. I even saw a shot or two that would end up in <i>Halloween II</i>, but that could just be coincidence.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDnJzOe2kI73y_cNJWhGDrBMU61Vj8KZc69fyMWknTdFgoY_E5feu-1-lVWmRwprVCULWnYxWvkGLsk8D4HDbQZIDRi60szmRhWJbhM-SeoGNwhQmbVRWLd1uDjYONrE9YD8rGwFxxaYCrVmMe2UMYtmQl7iNg9Qlux_a3kFWO-oAuJr9VvB2MAuDTnE/s482/meltdown.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="482" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDnJzOe2kI73y_cNJWhGDrBMU61Vj8KZc69fyMWknTdFgoY_E5feu-1-lVWmRwprVCULWnYxWvkGLsk8D4HDbQZIDRi60szmRhWJbhM-SeoGNwhQmbVRWLd1uDjYONrE9YD8rGwFxxaYCrVmMe2UMYtmQl7iNg9Qlux_a3kFWO-oAuJr9VvB2MAuDTnE/w400-h171/meltdown.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps most impressive is that the technical jargon sounds accurate - at least from my rudimentary knowledge watching <i>Chernobyl</i> and a few Netflix docs - even though it was written at a time when I can't imagine information of nuclear energy was readily available. Carpenter wrote this before meltdowns were a reality, as Three Mile Island or even the film <i>The China Syndrome</i> wouldn't happen for another two years. It's basically like when <b>Stanley Kubrick</b> made <i>2001</i> before anyone actually went to space. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7H_a8UqN0yvFAEVbfo8_M73Z2IYWseJtHJvbhkbfyWNfww-qMekzuxmC9kMBjm149tgImrofjNYzQOvC0Ape8mptyqvPh6fhKREzm5_pkFLJyIaVyBN777YwdJqBQisi0PHRCPanBZ-0Jo8ic5F2LxdK5Knb-fz5kjWgk0WqNyohn357GgfeIOcCnpJU/s545/meltdown1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="545" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7H_a8UqN0yvFAEVbfo8_M73Z2IYWseJtHJvbhkbfyWNfww-qMekzuxmC9kMBjm149tgImrofjNYzQOvC0Ape8mptyqvPh6fhKREzm5_pkFLJyIaVyBN777YwdJqBQisi0PHRCPanBZ-0Jo8ic5F2LxdK5Knb-fz5kjWgk0WqNyohn357GgfeIOcCnpJU/w400-h276/meltdown1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aside from that though, <i>Meltdown</i> is a pretty brutal slasher script with an atmospheric and unique location and some really good set pieces - one kill I've still never seen even to this day! It's a bummer this was never made. Carpenter & Co were trying to get it done as recently as 1997, but things just never came together. Oh well, at least we have the script. </div>Jay Clarkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00943870346156273403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-77946961058225609832024-03-11T10:00:00.002-04:002024-03-11T10:04:52.227-04:00Horror Movie Guide: The Boogeyman<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwh5Sn4VJeiHfNGaYXSIIv4uTX255qoUBLRVqRVHgd7nCSuoumBgtA-OkvQnkQ4dya2XiGXeFH7g3zy1oX5y7f4boUWibMAsLDgbAiuh0yi59bFfkn0zuirE_7VB-Uv0BWn_iWIvUjel1N5ke9SVv3zs7Wwizi6sggvHbX-CJz1UQuEvusdPkt2O916W8/s780/horrormovieguide.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="489" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwh5Sn4VJeiHfNGaYXSIIv4uTX255qoUBLRVqRVHgd7nCSuoumBgtA-OkvQnkQ4dya2XiGXeFH7g3zy1oX5y7f4boUWibMAsLDgbAiuh0yi59bFfkn0zuirE_7VB-Uv0BWn_iWIvUjel1N5ke9SVv3zs7Wwizi6sggvHbX-CJz1UQuEvusdPkt2O916W8/w126-h200/horrormovieguide.jpg" width="126" /></a></div>The next title in the Guide is one of the more infamous and possibly surprising I'd never seen up until this point; <b>Ulli Lommel</b>'s <i>The Boogeyman</i>. I mean, I was aware of the coverbox of this and its 1982 sequel to be sure, but I guess it just slipped through the cracks for two reasons. First, there was the dull-as-dirt 2005 version that I probably incorrectly assumed was a remake, and second my actual introduction to Lommel was through his shit parade of direct-to-video serial killer flicks in the mid 2000s.

Even without the tremendous score by <b>Tim Korg</b> (which truth be told is the best thing about this movie), you also have the inherent incoherence of the story. I mean, what are the rules here?

I'm surprised people don't talk about this one more, because it is a literal Venn diagram of silver screen horror movie greats.

Well, again I say, <i>THIS</i> one was tops. He's so deliciously evil as John Gray. I was sad to see Lugosi in a smaller part (apparently due to his health) but the scene him and Karloff last share together was a great one. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IRWF_JltzXO6liLZlONuDN8hanh3L0t530vOWd17xdTG4UMRHcyFbwglt8x7FfNXJ1Ed6u2g8e5dWIagqXEA0DrdDMks7pdaDcbPJGH31UMEKbfHI9B7IVwfSXrd_z2wUZfI0Me-2AFfZD4uzQ07mIjsEvgIxtk7E2V4Ezcp1pZShtaUuLfn7up8NRM/s562/bodysnatcher1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="562" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IRWF_JltzXO6liLZlONuDN8hanh3L0t530vOWd17xdTG4UMRHcyFbwglt8x7FfNXJ1Ed6u2g8e5dWIagqXEA0DrdDMks7pdaDcbPJGH31UMEKbfHI9B7IVwfSXrd_z2wUZfI0Me-2AFfZD4uzQ07mIjsEvgIxtk7E2V4Ezcp1pZShtaUuLfn7up8NRM/w400-h316/bodysnatcher1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Boris Karloff & Bela Lugosi in The Body Snatcher</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was initially disappointed that Lugosi didn't play the doctor, until I saw Daniell in action.

There have been tons of movies where characters see through a killer's eyes, but I can't recall one exactly like this, where they are communicating, even taunting, the person receiving the visions. Fear is not just a title, but refers to the killer getting off on the fear of his victims, and also Cayce's as she witnesses his misdeeds. Director Rockne S. O' Bannon's (no relation to Dan) confident filmmaking is helped along by a Henry Mancini score that really slaps.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDPknqlp1J6AEIa3jU0X-oLpzmESGmjsVXoZdp8yOo44z_8k9cyut14WD9JFpCdKSMVIHUhycBCmKU-4rONmjP3XsYfmAVGZBV31JbfX3PSuTv1I1d17TStYuVDvVAtlnNpo9AnWvt-DRq_lsDZBfzi9bOLiArCr93UrY05NtYMN7tFYHmkbCqNCljigk/s300/fear2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDPknqlp1J6AEIa3jU0X-oLpzmESGmjsVXoZdp8yOo44z_8k9cyut14WD9JFpCdKSMVIHUhycBCmKU-4rONmjP3XsYfmAVGZBV31JbfX3PSuTv1I1d17TStYuVDvVAtlnNpo9AnWvt-DRq_lsDZBfzi9bOLiArCr93UrY05NtYMN7tFYHmkbCqNCljigk/w400-h224/fear2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sheedy had to do all of the heavy lifting here and performs admirably, even through the more ridiculous situations she is put in and her almost Final Girl-like shift from victim to aggressor during the carnival set piece felt organic and bad-ass.

It was very similar to a lot of movies that came out around that time, which is why I found its release year of 1989 (before the floodgates opened in the 90s) confounding. Due to Vestron going tits up, it never got its planned theatrical release so it's not like this was widely seen. HITH is like a reverse <i>The Hand That Rocks the Cradle</i> where an outside party works their way into the family in order to take what they feel is owed. You know what's really crazy though? I thought for sure Mimi's pottery hobby was a reaction to <i>Ghost</i>'s popularity, but nope, that doesn't line up either. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJ6NZ4_MNQ63WJzSUp2oYTbc6VfgfVLHbYnlxS3FSrkD2-8Mg-ESP5vZ9lmNVQU1LSBlQeeZUDPzoGM84lE7ZIa6FR0rkhzJsG4zJb43_qvtm5ZY4tGrWjmXzTAlXL6Nxn8elx_p9LoZeYGMSFHmO6HSCGcrfszb5Jg8NHvBGvLLQNnH4uam4uRKDb0s/s300/hith2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="161" data-original-width="300" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJ6NZ4_MNQ63WJzSUp2oYTbc6VfgfVLHbYnlxS3FSrkD2-8Mg-ESP5vZ9lmNVQU1LSBlQeeZUDPzoGM84lE7ZIa6FR0rkhzJsG4zJb43_qvtm5ZY4tGrWjmXzTAlXL6Nxn8elx_p9LoZeYGMSFHmO6HSCGcrfszb5Jg8NHvBGvLLQNnH4uam4uRKDb0s/w400-h215/hith2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The performances, especially Rogers, were above board and grounded me enough to overlook the overall implausibility of the situation. For instance, I had no idea that loony bins had construction and electrical classes to facilitate their denizens building themselves accommodations upon release. Also, I assume most wives know what their husband's handwriting looks like? And that neighbour? He's always peeping on Julie, but somehow missed Busey climbing all over the roof and burying multiple bodies in the yard? That last one would have made sense if he got murdered for being a wtiness, but he didn't? How does a character who was even creepier than the antagonist survive?? Anyway, I digress.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNL6RxOcousJWdJfyGTFVaWJFuRH6VmvdDmLTPLHYxNtFtnnPJlhQH1lKq2F0KC9ey0qnD7iOuZrJ9T6JhB1kMK7xGiBAR6vJhDC1Yk10v7XiOHtsICxORCw720SW0d3Xugs_TTY4L4_UEGrvE8tCiDrcCjZWGL0qzCDLNH7cAcDrNl4IsgD1OCFEm7tY/s524/hith1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="524" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNL6RxOcousJWdJfyGTFVaWJFuRH6VmvdDmLTPLHYxNtFtnnPJlhQH1lKq2F0KC9ey0qnD7iOuZrJ9T6JhB1kMK7xGiBAR6vJhDC1Yk10v7XiOHtsICxORCw720SW0d3Xugs_TTY4L4_UEGrvE8tCiDrcCjZWGL0qzCDLNH7cAcDrNl4IsgD1OCFEm7tY/w400-h224/hith1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having said that, Busey actually showed restraint in this role, initially coming off as someone who really wanted to get better. In fact, his presence at the start was almost helpful. He prevented the daughter from drowning in the pool, taught the son how to defend himself against the school bully and shielded Julie from the aforementioned neighbour's advances. If he hadn't already murdered the family dog and an unfortunate exterminator by this point, I might have said this unknown tenant was almost a positive. However, it is also quite possible he was driven over the edge by the incessant chirping of that cricket that was stuck in there with him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ipDNdvFFEV_FY-F761V-ScuhVzsZR30TsbxsMsRAmNaTfFWB_WRmlBB2cHbTV98-PUk3cCyXKBWjVcIFX7ZupYhDKy5aSJT7cPwO6bdabJ11YjNrz5Y6dqNdXkWwgSbKcat5IBEKYFJUyXX9u_QptuAJR81B9JoMTh8sSIRJG4fiXIQYy1hP70Yv7gM/s419/hith3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="419" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ipDNdvFFEV_FY-F761V-ScuhVzsZR30TsbxsMsRAmNaTfFWB_WRmlBB2cHbTV98-PUk3cCyXKBWjVcIFX7ZupYhDKy5aSJT7cPwO6bdabJ11YjNrz5Y6dqNdXkWwgSbKcat5IBEKYFJUyXX9u_QptuAJR81B9JoMTh8sSIRJG4fiXIQYy1hP70Yv7gM/w400-h271/hith3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to the usual shits and gigs you get from a man-in-the-walls movie, there were also a few other intriguing things going on. I noticed there was a shift where Busey's character went from looking at Julie as a mother figure to wanting to become the husband. I'm not sure if that was triggered by witnessing anti-social behaviour (like pyromania) in the son and wanting to help, but it offered more depth than I was expecting. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, this was quite entertaining and even if it did play out rather predictability (minus the almost <i>Black Christmas</i>-like nod at the end) there's some good stuff in here.</div>Jay Clarkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00943870346156273403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-62613155933604779042024-02-12T08:00:00.015-05:002024-02-12T08:00:00.127-05:00Horror Movie Guide: Bluebeard (1944)<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IOGe7F4C-brw68C4z_OG8SOnJCcdCcpeYIBSvKMXlmxFv_9fhedCPLrCYjEql7kfH1u3FSEQBqOQulKtuPcrkLQYP2BPO2bIseGew9RQ2brI8SBAcMF0Bm_bhsbEdb4p4-BTMCO7VlUlAaZqotJ09DC65JGH-UUb2S_LZ1hACVi2jfBTDKHUM9C4DWs/s780/horrormovieguide.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="489" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IOGe7F4C-brw68C4z_OG8SOnJCcdCcpeYIBSvKMXlmxFv_9fhedCPLrCYjEql7kfH1u3FSEQBqOQulKtuPcrkLQYP2BPO2bIseGew9RQ2brI8SBAcMF0Bm_bhsbEdb4p4-BTMCO7VlUlAaZqotJ09DC65JGH-UUb2S_LZ1hACVi2jfBTDKHUM9C4DWs/w126-h200/horrormovieguide.jpg" width="126" /></a></div>As promised last week, it's time to get back to working my way through the <a href="http://www.thehorrorsection.com/2001/08/this-is-database-of-movies-i-have.html" target="_blank">Horror Movie Guide</a>.

How long before he strikes again?</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I found this one was a bit of a bore, though I admit it was pretty cool to see <b>John Carradine</b>, not only when he was young, but also in a leading role. You know, it would be funny to count up how many movies in this Guide that Carradine is actually in. I feel like I've already covered half a dozen two letters in. He's definitely one of those guys where you think, <i>"was he ever young?"</i> so it was good to see some proof. He's rather dapper and solid in this one, but doesn't get to do as much as I'd like.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm assuming that the Hays Code was weighing on this production heavily because you never get to see anything remotely graphic onscreen here. You'll get the close-ups of Carradine's eyes after the first few frames of a strangle and then a shot of the victim on the ground. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRP29pU6CZ3B4v93k_IvGiv48aL0E8J_lZRqw9TT_l_Gtw2AKv2m9PRG6vrgdGCFJ5AhF24VNR-vjZRJQyBz_JGHF2yR-S9H7TntdMjRLLcfE1khFDtxLSXYup9aXl5eBdt6F6dMe-YB-HXa8mGiuhAD1HCuP1ZC0Pjrk3lUap3-hQExbwc2Kx1mQ8zYo/s529/bluebeard1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="308" data-original-width="529" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRP29pU6CZ3B4v93k_IvGiv48aL0E8J_lZRqw9TT_l_Gtw2AKv2m9PRG6vrgdGCFJ5AhF24VNR-vjZRJQyBz_JGHF2yR-S9H7TntdMjRLLcfE1khFDtxLSXYup9aXl5eBdt6F6dMe-YB-HXa8mGiuhAD1HCuP1ZC0Pjrk3lUap3-hQExbwc2Kx1mQ8zYo/w400-h233/bluebeard1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They also do that thing where someone gets hit on the head and then freezes in tableau for a few moments before keeling over.

Wasn't Bluey the one that hid all his dead wives in a locked room? Carradine's character Gaston is a starving artist bachelor in this tale, and most of this movie is spent talking about art dealing, painting and puppetry.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While I did fall asleep during my first attempt to watch this, I did find it more interesting in the third act. The police sting sequence and the last chase across the Parisian rooftops were somewhat exciting even if they both ended rather clumsily. Speaking of the latter, the most positive attribute I would say about <i>Bluebeard</i> is the set design which was almost certainly influenced by the Expressionism movement of the 20s.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7dvzsKydfau2hG7Sr8ce-uEXi7IX6479C1Xd4jykAlMe8TIX62xfj5u5gmwecc9MmAtn6Xxl3-XFYOQC43rQsWW2-7OxACWfJ5l09HiiZM3z0H-q_1-p6qIlt8b7qw_HiMqixLCFS5VgIfpdaQI4JrGTqxKoFKhL8GbnlhLr0sfYOZiDAGAM-8f2y9CU/s538/bluebeard2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="538" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7dvzsKydfau2hG7Sr8ce-uEXi7IX6479C1Xd4jykAlMe8TIX62xfj5u5gmwecc9MmAtn6Xxl3-XFYOQC43rQsWW2-7OxACWfJ5l09HiiZM3z0H-q_1-p6qIlt8b7qw_HiMqixLCFS5VgIfpdaQI4JrGTqxKoFKhL8GbnlhLr0sfYOZiDAGAM-8f2y9CU/w400-h300/bluebeard2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is another one to file under <i>glad I watched it, but it's not really the best is it? </i>It's surely no <i><a href="http://www.thehorrorsection.com/2023/02/horror-movie-guide-bedlam.html" target="_blank">Bedlam</a></i>.

Let's kick things off with a title that is a long time coming in <b>Jon Irvin</b>'s go at gothic, 1981's <i>Ghost Story</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnMzgeo09jzefBtJE27K5ZuhNl-QxNxZH5vIKYHGveOts0r8qEeGYvY8Ry4wUgNlAvK27wCfvGxSg5X1Olld0DV_ishl0pdkXzj6Mi4cTtmTqVPiV8OMXVtiCCSzT4sSHfZLj8SZM890f3nz-SDLai1ol8dZ5klGDO8anYrblJrtzSKhctJ7IvwCgB2Wo/s1040/vhs-ghoststory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="588" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnMzgeo09jzefBtJE27K5ZuhNl-QxNxZH5vIKYHGveOts0r8qEeGYvY8Ry4wUgNlAvK27wCfvGxSg5X1Olld0DV_ishl0pdkXzj6Mi4cTtmTqVPiV8OMXVtiCCSzT4sSHfZLj8SZM890f3nz-SDLai1ol8dZ5klGDO8anYrblJrtzSKhctJ7IvwCgB2Wo/w226-h400/vhs-ghoststory.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Don (<b>Craig Wasson</b>) returns to his hometown for his twin brother's funeral and gets pulled into a mystery involving the elder statesmen of the village.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I gotta admit, this is totally not what I expected. I thought <i>Ghost Story</i> was going to be about moldy geriatrics sitting around a fire swapping stories - and to be fair, to a point, it is. The four old timers - who adorably call themselves The Chowder Society - do wax scary tales for a time, but then it goes off the chain in all kinds of fun ways. Before I knew it I'm seeing the face of a rotting corpse that I have a vague recollection of peeping on a Fangoria cover as well as some flying Wasson-peen. Okay, you have my attention.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrjnlaIB6bGsNyiILrJg-pN3gFvU2750EcDE0WZKcqik9Q-RKWvcR7GwS1y23oSs6ARGljIOQ-HLA-lVN1A9HH5XSs1rrnCt-DTXUrTZam9VknptwbhRKbKjSOYYN41PpZ-pAReDY2Ndp1sjJMtlja2hpJTsddTJKu3TFE7mcJcdO3y1JlSw8F4jZigY4/s537/gs-face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="537" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrjnlaIB6bGsNyiILrJg-pN3gFvU2750EcDE0WZKcqik9Q-RKWvcR7GwS1y23oSs6ARGljIOQ-HLA-lVN1A9HH5XSs1rrnCt-DTXUrTZam9VknptwbhRKbKjSOYYN41PpZ-pAReDY2Ndp1sjJMtlja2hpJTsddTJKu3TFE7mcJcdO3y1JlSw8F4jZigY4/w400-h285/gs-face.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a good collection of character actors here. Wasson no doubt carried this character's constant bewilderment with him into <i>Body Double</i> three years later and <b>Douglas Fairbanks Jr</b> and <b>Melvyn Douglas</b> match up well with <b>John Houseman</b>, who was already well versed at telling spooky stories from his stint in <i>The Fog</i> one year prior. I think the real heart of the picture of <b>Fred Astaire</b> as Ricky Hawthorne though. <b>Alice Krige</b> is great as the icy femme fatale and provides 100% more nudity than I was anticipating. This is not your mother's ghost story, folks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvh9OUO4Cc8ElTYDVAmm1IvwCd2c4tPdxs9rux9tm30TYxKWoLyvdpBfwvHGIrMCiBBcnOS04seo909MRUEbv90qzES2cm5YLzdxCBhN9dI689_Q2aYEJpB5ECr8ZZX53a_vBLN6_Lbu0NCPsVkCRySp0LFMusPLr46tNK9Mdhbp9wdCVb07y9ywlxHM/s625/ghoststory.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="625" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvh9OUO4Cc8ElTYDVAmm1IvwCd2c4tPdxs9rux9tm30TYxKWoLyvdpBfwvHGIrMCiBBcnOS04seo909MRUEbv90qzES2cm5YLzdxCBhN9dI689_Q2aYEJpB5ECr8ZZX53a_vBLN6_Lbu0NCPsVkCRySp0LFMusPLr46tNK9Mdhbp9wdCVb07y9ywlxHM/w400-h203/ghoststory.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to the aforementioned, there are a few more gore gags that are pretty badass, especially that creep above that looks like something out of <i>Creepshow</i>.

Love to see it! <i>Ghost Story</i> feels like it is of two minds, as you have the fairly standard gothic haunt with a DePalma-like trashiness leaking through the cracks. I wager it's that mix that sets it apart from other haunting yarns of the time.</div>Jay Clarkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00943870346156273403noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-32949713385928078582024-02-05T08:00:00.016-05:002024-02-05T08:00:00.143-05:00Good Morgan To You!<div style="text-align: justify;">As I await the release of <i>Stopmotion</i>, <a href="http://ww25.robertmorganfilms.com/?subid1=20240205-0931-53cd-91cb-8c31ee000aed" target="_blank">Robert Morgan</a> has released a new short online called<i> Ray Incident</i>.

I'm definitely getting <i>Ghostwatch</i> vibes from this latest effort from the <b>Cairnes Brothers</b>. Lastly, <i>The Man in the White Van</i> just sounds like a cool, ripped-from-the-headlines horror movie.

We made it through another one. The Big C is finally on the run, or at least ignored for the time being while we deal with more pressing atrocities. Me, I've been trudging along, making regular visits to the <a href="https://revuecinema.ca/" target="_blank">Revue Cinema</a> to soak in my gal pal Serena's terrific programming.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The trivia business is booming. At one point, Pat & I were doing it three times monthly at two different venues. We've now amassed a pretty decent roster of regulars as well as constant walk-ins. In the New Year, we're going to strive to make streaming the event a more common thing so those of you outside the Big Smoke can partake. On the <a href="https://rue-morgue.com/" target="_blank">Rue Morgue</a> side of things, I have taken over the <b>Short Cuts</b> column from the exiting <b>Bryan Christopher</b>. With me already watching a thousand short films a year for various film festivals, it made sense for me to slide in there. My first go at it is in the Jan/Feb 2024 issue hitting stands (or your mailbox/inbox) imminently. I have another couple of things I'm cooking up for 2024, but maybe I'll leave them unsaid for now...</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for absorbed media, I think it was more quality over quantity this year.

I just wanted to let you know about an exciting new animated anthology series that is dropping today on Tubi (among others) called <a href="https://www.lakesideanimation.com/redironroad" target="_blank">Red Iron Road</a>. It features six different stories (most of which I have seen and are ace) with varying styles recalling everything from <b>Secret of NIMH</b> to <b>Heavy Metal</b> to <b>A Scanner Darkly</b>. Check out the trailer below, and then give it a whirl!</div>
