Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Shaun of the Dead.

How could I forget this?!

Anyone have any suggestions for something ostensibly "scary" that will 1, not horrify and 2, please a bunch of comedians?

  • Anything starting with "I Was A Teenage...";
  • Anything produced by Roger Corman with a "scary" font;
  • You probably couldn't go wrong with any of the recent remakes of older, scarier movies, but I haven't seen the 13 Ghosts movie that Dana mentioned, so I might be wrong.

Oh, and anything with Bruce Campbell in the lead is a good bet. I'd recommend Evil Dead II, which is pure slapstick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I think that's generally a good bet.

Anything involving an "updating" of an old villain. There's one called something like...Dracula 3000? And the Jason movie in space.

Me being wrong? Heck, it's practically engraved on stone tablets.

If you don't mind a little chill, there's a high cheese factor in the great old horror movies, too: the Ray Wise The Haunting, The Innocents, I Walked With A Zombie. Plenty of grist for the comedy mill.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Young Frankenstein ?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a clip movie that came out in theaters like 20 years ago, that was all the "scary" parts of movies, which made them not actually all that scary. Called Terror in the Aisles or something.

Yikes, Jesse! I just wet myself.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That old Ray Milland & Rosie Grier movie The Thing with Two Heads.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and if you can find it Elvira's Haunted Hills.
