2024 Scary Movie Challenge Day 16

68 comments:

  1. MGM+ TRIPLE FEATURE!

    Francis Ford Coppola's DEMENTIA 13: THEATRICAL W/O PROLOGUE (1963, 75 min.).

    Young FFC's early influences: "Psycho," "Billy Liar."

    OR

    Roger Corman special: bland, lifeless, dull-looking Ireland.

    OR

    More close-ups than bad daytime soap opera.

  2. Roy Scheider and Karen Young in NIGHT GAME (1989) for the first time.

    "Cop" + "The Fan" = throat slasher.

    OR

    Chief Brody robs "Jaws... Revenge's" wife cradle.

    OR

    Pino Donaggio overdoes sexy sax score... again!

  3. Juan Piquer Simón's THE RIFT (1990) for the first time.

    Starts "Leviathan." Becomes "Contamination." Ends in "PIECES!"

    OR

    R. Lee Ermey, atomic toy submarine commander.

    OR

    Most stereotypical, one-dimensional black guy character... EVER!

  53. Build your own Universal Monster Franchise:

    1. Tale of the Mummy (1998)

    The Mummy is basically CGI toilet paper.

    2. Boltneck, aka Big Monster on Campus (2000)

    Featuring Tale of the Mummy's Shelly Duvall.

    3. Ginger Snaps (2000)

    Perkins and Isabelle should have bigger careers.

    4. Dracula 2000 (2000)

    Stacked cast. And that's just Jeri Ryan.

    5. Hollow Man (2000)

    Shue on cable release pedal fries Bacon.
