 And welcome to today's edition of Frightfully Forgotten, but to start things off, what are we drinking today? Vienna of the Damned, Vienna style. Today we're going to be bringing to you a made for TV movie, Amityville for the Evil Escapes, done in 1989. Directed by Sandor Stern and he also did another great movie called Pin which we had covered in the past. It stars Patty Duke, she was in Valley of the Dolls, and the made for TV sequel to Rosemary's Baby called, look what happened to Rosemary's Baby. Aaron Eisenberg is in this, most of us would know him from Deep Space Nine, he played Nogg. Jane Wyatt is in this, she was in Star Trek 4, The Voyage Home. This movie was edited by Skip Schoolnick, who directed Haydn Go Shriek. So the movie starts off right in the thick of it, Priest going to the Amityville house to do battle with the evil. It's already hit the fan, furniture is flying at the priest, the stove is all in flames. There's this lamp there and he starts like, I guess the evil of the house go down the cable of the lamp, then he gets like thrust back and gets knocked out. The house is being liquidated, yard sale happening, two older ladies are there looking around and she likes to play a joke on her sister by buying her real ugly stuff. He thinks this lamp would be a great joke, it kind of cuts her finger on it. A few days later when she goes to actually ship out this lamp, her fingers have gotten all black and rotten. We then get introduced to Alice, who is the sister to her daughter Nancy's coming to move in with her with her kids. They arrive about the same time as this lamp does. Plugs it in and you can see the evil go down the cable. The youngest son comes down to make breakfast or opens a toaster oven and the bird's all there and dead. Ah, mom. Eric Robert style. The little girl, she's kind of still grief-stricken that her dad died and she starts talking to the lamp and starts calling it daddy and everything. There's another scene where the son goes downstairs to get something, and he sees this chainsaw like on the workbench. Look at his face. It's almost like he's getting a blow job for the first time. Sort of playing with it and making the chainsaw noises. And then it actually starts up cutting through all these wooden beams and having to support the beams. It goes into all these potatoes and onions. It's not like the mason jars with all the preservatives. All these canned goods. Near the mother and the grandmother come down, the grandmother loses her footing and here's y'all falls onto the stairs and everything. It's like it's in the background and tears. Just total mayhem's going on in the basement. Finally, the maid comes down and grabs this like iron bar, blocks the chainsaw and then it just conks out. Naturally, the grandmother thinks that the kid started it up himself. Oh, of course you would think that, you know? He started it on his own, I swear. Like, sure, of course the mom believes him. Like, he's telling the truth. Any other parent would be like, what the fuck are you doing? You just fucking destroyed the whole basement. The daughter is like stuffing food in the garbourgator and the garbourgator kind of just stops working. Then she gets him to put his hand down and start trying to get the clog out and right away the switch just... Neeeeeeer! Nooo! So just like in Amniville number one, the pipes are being clogged up with this black tar shit. Cathy! Get a plumber along, big support beam kind of comes down onto his chest, the pipe kind of breaks open and all that black tar shit starts pouring on his face and the hand comes out and it's all intact. Yeah! It's not the full hand. From the wrist down if the plumber's car is still there they're gonna assume that he's still in the house I put the car into gear and drive away It's all in like rush hour Travellers looking over like who's driving this thing? The ghost is all driving so You left at the wrong time The maid is upstairs and she kind of hears giggling behind the door and the door slams behind her and the court actually It's all super long this corn. It wraps right around her neck and kills her The priest has been trying to track down who bought this lamp where it's gone to Cuz he knows it's possessed. Yeah, he knows that is carrying the evil Alice's sister who bought the lamp and cut her fingers now. She's all laid up and like Quarantine and everything and dying from this lamp So he squeezes information from her that she sent it to her sister He actually sends them a letter just so happens that like the letter blows away. It's urgent. I'll mail a letter And just wait Yeah, he also tries phoning the phone starts to melt and everything so finally he's had enough and he drives down to where They live he tells her what he thinks is going on. She takes them back to the house That's where we're gonna end it because he's gonna get ready to do battle with the lamp. It's all scared Why are we covering this movie? Well, it is a forgotten sequel and it's a part for sequel It is just a lot of fun. It's a very entertaining movie and for a maid for TV movie It's pretty damn good actually and it doesn't take itself too seriously, right? The effects are good Yeah, even watching them. How did they do that? Yeah, when you think how did they do that? That's usually the sign of a good effect, right? That's right. Yeah for a maid for TV movie, too There's actually a decent amount of gore and blood it also rehashes a lot of the stuff from the original movie Normally never really turns out that well, but they use it in different ways too, right? So they kind of keep the ideas fresh the music does a good job of building attention where it needs to be built a Little daughter when she starts to get possessed and max all evil. She's pretty kind of shitty Yeah, and the music is a band-aid over the shitty acting a little great, right? All the kids in this movie kind of don't act all that well, but the adults are good in this Patty Duke is actually really She's she's great that kind of brings us to the ending of this movie, too Which we're not gonna spoil it for you But you do get a pretty good payoff in this movie pretty damn tense and climactic Like it really builds to his big climax when you sum it up that way for a movie about a possessed lamp I'm sure there's worse movies out there that have the same kind of idea if you kind of gave up on the Amityville movies after part three because part three was so stupid and bad monster coming out of the basement and everything Monster This movie is kind of a nice kind of back-to-basics a little bit give number four a try It's actually a lot of fun. Yeah, exactly and try not to take it too seriously because it doesn't either
