Special Guest: Skimball!(Editor’s note: we’re going to try and be nice to everybody’s RSS feeds. Today’s post as one long post, so hit “Refresh” every so often to see our reactions.)
Oscar: “We got this after being sold by the trailer when it was shown as part of the Brattle Theater’s annual ‘Trailer Treats’ competition. I found it used at Newbies, but that almost goes without saying.”
Andy: The British are coming! The British are coming! (0:01)
Oscar: It’s a Dario Argento film!
Jackie: Susperia!
Sarah: I feel there’s a lesson about that in Kindergarten. (0:08)
Oscar: The movie with one typeface. (0:10)
Oscar: This is a really blatant Halloween ripoff!
Sarah: And it also includes Jamie Lee Curtis (0:25)
Stacey: Why don’t we have a light-up dance floor? (0:26)
Andy: I think this is Senior Prom.
Jackie: Wait, that doesn’t make sense, aren’t they 16? The girl was 10 and it’s 6 years later.
Andy: Maybe they were 12? Maybe they were older?
Jackie: That’s too much thinking for this movie. (0:29)
Oscar: I have confidence that no one will get stabbed by that piece of glass. (0:39)
Andy: Jamie Lee Curtis, you are not a good dancer.
Sarah: Naw, these are sweet movies!
Oscar: It may not be that she’s a bad dancer, it may be that disco dancing is bad.
Stacey: And the light-up floor is lame. It only knows one trick. (0:55)
(1:00 - Greg and Bethany are here!)
Sarah: Which ones are these, and when are they gonna die?
Oscar: With a better VHS Transfer, we might now. (1:00)
Bethany: The morals of these horror movies are so nebulous! (1:04)
Sarah: Are they on drugs!?
Oscar: Is he thirteen!? (1:06)
All: WOAH!
Oscar: Movie, you are forgiven.
Sarah: No way! That was a sweet van.
Greg: All vans explode on impact.
Oscar: Well, at this point it was a grease fire. (1:11)
Oscar: Is that the same shot as before?
Sarah: Is there a shot on the screen? (1:14)
Oscar: Is there a rule in high school horror movies that you have to hide in a biology lab?
Stacey: Yeah, so you can throw acid at them.
Oscar: Or blind them with science. (1:14)
Oscar: It bears repeating. A remake of this movie was the number one movie in America last week. (1:21)
Sarah: They’re both wearing the same sleeveless tuxedo shirt! That’s so gay! (1:21)
Stacey: Aw, the girl’s got the axe. Now she’s gonna miss and hit her brother.
Sarah: Brother? It’s her date.
Stacey: Whatever. (1:25)
Sarah: We gotta watch Robocop after this. (1:31)
