@jimk5447 they started calling it Joe Bob's Big Hollywood Movie and showing crap like Problem Child 2 instead of the good drive-in movies. Even Joe Bob was disgusted with the change in format. Man, I sure miss Monstervision!
I've spent the last week or two finding all these great Joe Bob videos on Youtube, and it's making me so nostalgic for the 90s. I miss "MonsterVision." It was perfect, as I discovered it in 1996 just as I was getting into horror films, and it was great to be able to see all these movies each week, plus Joe Bob was informative and hilarious. Wish he was still on TV.
wow i remember this night. first time I'd seen the movie, and had to run out and find all the others right away. Phantasm is now my absolute favorite horror film series. I miss Monstervision and spending my saturday nights hangin out with joe bob briggs
Oh god, thank you to whoever posted this. I remember staying up to watch this show and ending up passed out on the couch before the movie was done. I still remember his most awesome joke, having to deal with a blonde wife and a kelloggs cornflake box.
They had to call the first Phantasm film here in Oz The Never Dead so not to confuse it with a softcore sex film Fantasm, I've seen both and Phantasm was better, Fantasm was just bits from porn films shown in response to dear abby letters, you know, one for the raincoat brigade. there was a follow on too Fantasm Comes Again which was more of the same.
@lefty5128 LMAO! Dude, you just made my day! I always wondered why they called it that in Australia, but the truth is far more hilarious than any of the more sensible marketing reasons I tried to come up with! Thanks!
@44excalibur No worries mate, I had to laugh at that too, as the 2 films have nothing in common unless alien midgets give you wood. At least on DVD you can see the film better, I remember on video tape you could hardly see who was who in the night scenes. The Tall Man rocks, I wish I had a dad like the tall man, you know, always having time to play ball.
There is an internet radio show called Death By DVD that is broadcasted live every friday night at 11 PM eastern on a website called Blog Talk Radio. This week they are doing an homage/tribute to Joe Bob Briggs. Check it out!
this is what tv is missing now a cool host that talks about and shows cool movies. i watched this and usa up all night as a kid miss them both. they should just replay them for us if they can't come up with anything new.
Used to love joe bob doing these. It's a shame he got fired back in 2000. He filled the void when sci-fi channel cancelled mystery sci theater 3000(and yes I am aware Joe bob was doing this while that show was still on..
"We got a whole buncha plot getting in the way of the story."
Holy crap I remember watching this when it aired. Really takes me back. Thanks for the upload!
Btw you wouldn't happen to have the segments from "The Nair Witch Project" would you? Never got to see all of that one, don't even remember the movie that they played during it but it was when they'd changed to the vastly inferior "Joe Bob's Saturday Night" format IIRC.
from what ive heard Universal has no plans or interest to release this on dvd...seems they dont or wont release the licensing rights.. guess thats why Anchor Bay has them all out on DVD except #2...
I remember this!! I think this was late-1998 or early-1999. I could not sleep at all that night after watching this. The movie scared the hell out of me.
Dude, there's nothing like kickin' back with some Jack and Coke and remembering the good ol' days of TV with Joe Bob! Miss this kind of stuff. thank goodness for YouTube and the like. TV today is terrible.
It bums me out that Monstervision is gone. I really miss USA Up All Night and Monstervision. There isn't even a mutated version of this type of show right now. Macabre Theater still airs in Phoenix, AZ, but even that isn't Monstervision.
aww the good old day. I miss monstervision it was awesome and it been ten years wow how old am I. can not belive that I wish we had show like that now it suck without a good horror movie night.
Chill out Joe Bob. the Hemi'Cuda in this was a 318 Barracuda and a ratty one at that! Check out the cracked dash pad and black tape on the ripped seats.
LOL. I'm with you all the way hamtrak. Coscerelli may have had a 3 million dollar budget on this one but there was no way they were going to shell out for a Cuda with a 440-6 or a 426 hemi. My guess is that the money went into the paint job. Afterall, they blow the thing up in the film.
LOL! From 04:03-04:40, about his reaction to the embalming needle slurping scene is halarious!! Especially after he says "..Embalming needle splurpee happened -WHOOOOO!!" Just classic Joe Bob. Miss those Monstervision days! Thanks for posting!!
"Too much plot getting in the way of the story". LMAO!!! Joe Bob is AWESOME!!! THANK YOU for posting some good ole JB. Definitely post more Monstervision if you get a chance. :-D!!
Dude, Thank you for this! I havn't seen this in years! I'm getting a kick out of these old MonsterVision segments.
Do you have the segments from Lengend of Boddy Creek? I do somewhere, but i need to figure out how to get it from VHS to the computer. Is there some kinda machine i can get at Radio Shack to do that, friend?
