I really enjoyed The Hallow. I love a good creature feature, the more unusual the creature the better, and this movie delivered in spades. motherfucking spriggans hell yes. Plus as mentioned it was competently made, with solid performances & special effects. Hush is another recent horror flick that Netflix recommended highly (4 stars) that I didn't like nearly as much. The premise and performances are solid, but it just failed to do anything interesting with the tension & dread it built up in the first 20 minutes.

I saw that Hulu has some Elvira series which I gather is similar. All I know about her is something about a Vampira feud and she was really big in the early 90s. I'd read the thread!

Yeah, I watch Svengoolie pretty often on ME TV and he shows some great old movies. I discovered Island of Lost Souls through his show.

Probably to silence what I hope were the constant questions of why he never went for Dottie's advances, because 80s era Elizabeth Daily was a fox. Basebf555 posted:It was a straight porn theatre huh?

The_Rob posted:His Bela Lugosi stuff on stern is legit the hardest I have laughed almost ever. I think the best part is that Howard think its hilarious because he and Gilbert are around the same age, but he realizes that it just confuses the hell out of some people, so he has Gilbert do the impression at random times when it makes the least possible sense.

So while we're still talking about Gilbert Gottfried I thought the whole bad genie wishes jokes when he was on We Hate Movies were hysterical. So to keep with the thread topic is there anything like The Twilight Zone out there - ironic twists are a must - but I couldn't get into The Outer Limits 60s show and I've seen Monsters and Tales from the Crypt and Tales of the Unexpected but anything else with a sense of humour where someone gets screwed over in the story.

New Outer Limits had a devastating twist 9 times out of 10. 80s Twilight Zone is tight as hell. Neither are on netflix so I'm useless. There was also a great bizarro show on netflix that I forget the name of that was like a true crime documentary show like you'd see on Investigation Discovery or something, but fictional and featuring stuff you'd see in science fiction. So there's one about a fossilized astronaut with dog tags from the 60s found with dinosaurs that explains a time-travel accident like it's Dateline, with interviews with old guys explaining how they built a time machine back in the 60s. There's one about a house that eats people and a bunch more that I don't remember. It's a weird, kind of funny (but played straight) twist on the genre.

You might like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which apparently has four seasons on Hulu and one on Netflix. Fewer ironic twists but more comic nastinessquote:Some of the episodes are pure malice (the successful framing of someone for a murder, for example), and that’s when it falls to Hitchcock the host to reassure viewers that justice has been done in the end. That’s the legend, anyway. In reality, his concessions toward Standards And Practices are either perfunctory (“Of course, he got caught”) or ludicrous. After one man seems to get away with killing his wife, Hitchcock explains that “his dog… was a detective in disguise and turned him in.”
