Somebody describe The Wraith to me and explain why I should be interested?
(Yeah, I could IMDB it, but I'm more interested in what youse guys have to say about it.)
Giles: Helping out with the dishes makes me feel useful. Dawn: Wanna clean out the garage with us
Saturday? You could feel indispensable.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

I've never heard of Smiley Face but I had to add it just because I can't imagine what the intersection of those three films might look like.
At a guess, there will be directionless iconoclast teens or twentysomethings unhappy with their lot in life. And having lots of sex.

Theo,
A bunch of thug teens kill another teen who was dating a young woman the head of thugs liked.
The killed teen comes back as "the wraith" embodied as Charlie Sheen and wreaks havoc on the thug teens in often spectacular ways.
Features: a car race; some sex and violence

Hmmm... I think I liked that movie the first time, when it was called The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Also, good steampunk values on display.

More deco than steampunk, I'd say. Although the frog mask probably counts as proto-steampunk.
Honestly, though, for Vincent Price I'll always take Theater of Blood since you get Shakespeare, Diana Rigg and Robert Morley being force fed his poodles to death.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My Vincent Price of choice: Tomb of Ligeia. Gorgeous Hammer studio locations, supercool weird 19th century sunglasses, and a really tormented, romantic performance.
Also, of course, Tim Burton's Vincent.

Well, in that case there's also Laura, even if it's just a (very good) supporting role.
