Jim Hanks was interviewed briefly in "I Know That Voice" and its creepy how much he can sound like him.

I guess that actually kind of puts things into perspective. Tom Hanks might get paid (way) more, but he's one of the most famous people in the world and has to live with that and deal with that everywhere he goes. Jim Hanks can get a regular paycheck, make more than most of us here, and still walk down the street in broad daylight free from hassle.

I keep picturing someone blasting an airhorn everytime something scary is about to happen, and I think the horror is not as effective that way.

I like the idea that all the built-up scares will be overridden by the jump-scare of the airhorn.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Upon the first showings the movie's creator realized that people found the sudden warning noise much scarier than what was actually in the movie and thus the jump scare was born, dooming many generations to horror movies that are not actually scary.

Here's the trailer, to give you a taste of the HORROR HORN and the FEAR FLASHER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJ0e4gfopA

Note how terrifying this movie must have been! (For those people prone to siezures, at least...)

Really, who needs tension in a horror movie?

I do like they give a warning that SOMETHING SCARY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN when there's already been this really slow scene of the guy screwing the cleaver onto his arm stump.

I love this one because there was no actual alternate ending. Nobody noticed until years later because every audience voted to kill Sardonicus.

If I'm remembering correctly, when asked by the press why Straight-Jacket didn't have any sort of classic William Castle gimmick, his reply was "Why? I have the biggest gimmick of them all: Joan Crawford."

He wasn't wrong.

Don't listen to them, it is good - especially if you're familiar with the giallo tropes they're clowning on.
