03:09 I always really dug Alan King as the clinic director dancing down the staircase in that flashy silver jump suit to Every Breath You Take, it's like a bizarre riff of Saturday Night Fever

@skinnydipper9 On the subject of attractive actresses in the horror genre, what do you think of the big-chested skinny dipping girl at the prologue of Freddy vs Jason? The audience i saw the film with clapped & hollered at the screen during her nocturnal nudism

The Candyman embodies the unsavory racial hatred of white men, their hate birthed a boogeyman

Dr. Brundle's lab of genetic horrors produces fused primate/feline hybrids that he bludgeons to death with a pipe, pure Cronenberg

definitely has the repulsive Cronenberg obsession with grotesque mutation/mutilation of the flesh, i wonder why he didn't return to helm the sequel?

@aigg I concur, Jessica Lange was a work of art in King Kong 76, this version was more sexually overt than the 33 Kong, i just wish the ape had finished disrobing her before the giant serpent showed up!

@dylantiger2 The idea of Jack aiding Kong in his fight against the airplanes was part of the 1996 version Peter Jackson had tried to get off the ground before his adaption of Lord Of The Rings, wished that bit would have been kept

@wandererlain @wandererlain Dawn of The Dead crossed with Caligula best describes this David Cronenberg classic, modern society slowly consumed by an enveloping orgy of sexual lust, what a way for mankind to go!

An erotic variant of the zombie genre, Cronenberg's ghouls are caused not by the supernatural but by mankind who breeds a parasite who enhance's sexual energy to the extreme, a fitting apocalypse

2:25 When Kong rises up and puts Ann Darrow down because of the sound he heard, it's as if the gorilla is thinking "Damn, not another dinosaur, can't me and my bride get any peace?!"

@VanDamme11 The genesis for his disturbing classic "Pet Sematary" was King who saved his infant son from being run down in the road like what happens to the Creed family,to this day, Pet Sematary still causes goosebumps to break out with me, when the baby's corpse returns from the grave possesse...

The Ink & Paint club where Jessica does her seductive dance onstage made me fall in love with her before i had hormones at age 5!

Gus Van Sant's nearly scene for scene recreation of the innovative 1960 landmark miscast Vince Vaughn as mama's boy Norman Bates, the bit where he spies on Marion disrobing through peephole has an added sleazy dimension showing Bates masturbating, ugh. Vaughn is nowhere near the actor Anthony Per...

Director Tony Randel also made Hellbound: Hellraiser II for New World Pictures prior in 1988, a gore drenched successor to Clive Barker's bondage from hell classic

The Beast Within being produced during the early 80's cycle of horror films which featured elaborate skin stretching transformations of humans into monsters, was based loosely off a novel. Tom Holland who later penned Psycho II wrote the script

Texas Chainsaw's lurid title conjuers up these ghastly images of a depraved bloodbath when in fact very little is actually shown on screen, the remake comes nowhere near as close in duplicating it's intensity. The 2003 Chainsaw had a style that owes a lot to Se7en.

The Hills Have Eyes is a cult classic featuring primitive cannibal freaks preying on a brokedown family, i regularly watch it as a back to back double feature with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974

@kovik62 I wonder if Lorenzo Semple Jr. originally intended for there to be other giant monster or perhaps dinosaurs like the 1933 Kong featured, Jeff Bridge's scientist character refers to himself as a paleontologist professor, a field that includes the study of prehistoric creatures, did the fi...

Roadhouse was may very well be the ultimate 80's all out brawl action cheesefest, it contains all the ingredients

A plethora of smoking hot babes with delicious bodies

Almost non stop brutal scuffles every few minutes

The requisite rock soundtrack blaring a mixture of country & rock n...

Bram Stoker's Dracula was an eroticized guilty pleasure for me, it's stunning visuals, old fashioned technique as opposed to more modern filmmaking, the only other cinematic tale comparable would be John Boorman's silly mega flop Exorcist II. One of the brides giving a toothy fellatio on Harker w...

Psycho III incorporated a slew of references & homages to Alfred Hitchcock, also as director of this third installment Anthony Perkins amped up the darkly comedic aspect to Charles Edward Pogue's script which works in some bizarre and off the wall religious imagery. Part III is a loose remake of ...

@MmeLEnfer Cat People was Nastassja's "best of" in showcasing her European muscular figure, evocative visuals as well

Mulholland Dr is about broken dreams & unfulfilled love, this marvelous moment at Club Silencio features a singer whose rendition of "Crying" spells the end of a woman's fantasy, the two women even begin weeping and clutch each other's hand knowing the dream is over

Paul Schrader's Cat People was an 80's adaption of the classic 1942 original, certain set pieces like the aforementioned swimming pool stalking have been needlessly revamped with vivid gore for the Fangoria generation & reels of explicit nudity. But the 80's adaption has a sleek, classy style li...

@supergodzilla12 I've heard also among the many deleted,added scenes that were nixed for it's theatrical incarnation include

1* Jack and the sailors being attacked by the giant snake that Kong later battles with

2* Kong crossing a vast murky swamp inhabited by giant crabs while on the way to h...

@TMNTRPG It's funny you mention King Kong vs Godzilla (one of my favorite monster brawls of all time despite the running time being mostly talky) because quite a few scenes and set pieces in the 1976 Kong reminds one of a Toho production, like the iconic men shaken off the log chasm where it's o...

@schultz1963 Rick Baker is among my favorite Hollywood makeup men, what do you think of the bizarre effects he created for 1983's Videodrome?

Definitely not the classic old school Universal Mummy, it's been digitally ramped up to enthrall today's CGI generation, i was reminded of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly when the title corpse was walking upside down on the ceiling at 1:31

The Mummy had elements in it that strongly recalled 1982's gore-fest The Evil Dead,like at 1:32

Wow, i was unaware of just how much material was cut out totally & excised, like Drebin strolling past naked women in the shower who are aghast 1:43, the same set piece with Leslie Neilsen accidentally entering the women's shower was recycled in the absymal Exorcist spoof Repossesed

I must say that i rather enjoyed when Ornella Muti was subjected to being flogged on her back shackled facing down BDSM style, pretty overtly sexual imagery in that bit, not that i'm complaining, her butt in that spandex attire was delicious

I appreciate how Peter Jackson made Kong as much like a real silverback gorilla, as opposed to the more brutal "monster" incarnations the title gorilla was portrayed as in the 1933 & 1976 versions. But ironically, it's also what makes his Kong less frightening, Jackson's Kong was WAY too soft, o...
