Happy Halloween, TCM 2 Special Edition, RIP Tobe Hooper

 Earlier this year, the horror world lost another pioneer. Tobe Hooper made it alright to terrify and alienate your audience in new ways. I thought I would take this opportunity to eulogize Hooper by reviewing my favorite of his films. When I heard that he had passed away, I went online and ordered the blu-ray special edition of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986). Don't get me wrong, I love the original Chainsaw (1974), but I reviewed that one back when we lost Gunnar Hansen. As a matter of fact, I just went over the weekend to a screening of the 4K remaster of the original TCM and it is still a disturbing and effective horror film. But I will argue that Part 2 is a better film.

   Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 is the story of a retired Texas Ranger and a radio DJ that are both searching for the people responsible for a particularly gruesome murder that happened during Stretch's live radio show. This is how the audience gets to catch up with the cannibal family from the original film, who are now called the Sawyers...get it? Part 2 is where I feel Hooper really shines as he adds a heavy dose of black comedy with the horror. Aside from the humor, the other thing that will always make this film stand out is the amazing effects created by Tom Savini and his exceptional crew of the cream of the crop. I was delighted by the featurette on this set that introduces us to each of the artists and shows what they created. I also appreciate the in-depth documentary about the trials and tribulations of the film from pre-production to post. An especially enlightening featurette is the interview with stunt man, Bob Elmore, who reveals just how much of the film is really him behind the Leatherface mask. And it was pretty cool to see the deleted scene that featured Joe Bob Briggs.

   As for re-watching the film itself, I have to admit that I felt a little different about it this time. I tend to remember it as a fun romp with over-the-top gore effects, but this time it felt a lot bleaker and less funny. Overall the movie seems more brutal than I recall, but still effective. I want to stress that I still enjoyed the film and appreciate both the humor and gore, but I walked away with a stronger sense of dread than I used to. Perhaps it is me getting older and digging deeper or maybe as the film ages it will mean different things at different times.

   Going through the film, it was great to re-visit its classic moments. That backwards car chase on the bridge with the yuppies is the moment that you, the audience, realize that these guys mean business. Watching the glee that Dennis Hopper has buying and testing out the chainsaws is an awesome moment when notice that some of the good guys may be pretty screwed up too. And how can you not laugh at the joke of the Sawyers entering the chili contest...The secret's in the meat! And who doesn't feel sorry for LG long before the killers even show up at the radio station? Poor guy is just looking for love.

   I can't forget to talk about the scene that Stretch and Leatherface share. It is definitely an intimate moment. It is hard not to interpret it as a metaphor for sex in slasher films, a kind of thumb at the nose to people who feel horror films are anti-woman. You have to appreciate the way Stretch handles the situation with child psychology, because that's what Leatherface really is, a child trapped in the massive body of a killer. While the scene may come off as over the top and even silly, I get it and think it took some guts to poke a little fun at the bad press that horror movies get.

   Then there are the great moments that pay homage to the original Texas Chainsaw. There is, of course, the repeat of the dinner sequence complete with Grandpa and his hammer. I have to say how excellent the makeup job is on Grandpa for this film. In some ways it looks similar to the makeup from the original film, just with the volume turned up to 11. I remember that as a teenager watching the original I was so worried that I would have nightmares of Leatherface chasing me, but it was the sound of Grandpa sucking on Sally's finger that haunted my dreams. Re-watching both of these films this month, I have to say that Grandpa still creeps me out.

   How did I go this long without mentioning the greatest character that TCM 2 brings to the world? Choptop is the most insane member of the Sawyer family in many ways and Bill Moseley plays him perfectly. Filling Ed Neal's shoes from the original film was not going to be an easy task (You want some head-cheese??) but Moseley pushes the envelope even further with his messed-up one-liners (Lick my plate, dog dick!) and tripped out hippy-isms. And watching him scratch away at the skin around the plate in his head, that is some sick self-cannibalism going on there.

    The finale of the film involves our protagonists Stretch and the double chainsaw wielding Dennis Hopper following the Sawyer family to their lair, the deserted Texas Battle Land amusement park. Stretch literally falls through the ground into a series of tunnels that definitely hearken back to Alice falling down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Here we truly understand just how unstable Hopper's character is as we end up with a massive chainsaw duel. This pushes the absurdity of the film to a whole other level. Couple that with Leatherface hiding Stretch by making her wear her friend's face just proves we are truly in a mad house. I do love how the score of the film matches this with it's funhouse-like feel, making the audience start to feel a little crazy too.

   Speaking of music, let me not forget that LG and Stretch work at a rock radio station in 1986. Thanks to this background motif, we are treated to tracks by Oingo Boingo, Concrete Blonde, Lords of the New Church and The Cramps. This has to make for the best horror soundtrack since Return of the Living Dead.

   Overall, I want to emphasize that if you have only seen the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre or (God help you) only seen the remakes or lesser squeals, I implore you to give Part 2 a chance. At the time of the release, there was a feeling that the film was a total flop since audiences were disappointed that the squeal was not more similar to the original film and the dark humor fell flat. It is a film that found appreciation years later on video and dvd releases. This is definitely the case of a film that was ahead of its time. This is a true post-modern horror film that sums up the 80s in a capsule that pokes fun at teen films (that classic poster of the Sawyers posing like The Breakfast Club), slasher flicks and the tropes of the genre. It is a film that can one minute make you laugh and a moment later horrify you and what more can you really ask for in a movie? Also, if you are already a fan of this film, I highly recommend this blu-ray edition as an excellent addition to your collection.

  Well have a Happy Halloween everyone and I truly hope that you too will remember the deranged genius that was Tobe Hooper. And remember, the saw is family!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 on iMDB

Goodbye, George A. Romero

One week ago we lost my cinematic hero, Mr. George A. Romero. What can I say to eulogize him that hasn't already been said? Romero's films were for the thinking viewer, but told using the working class monsters. In many ways, he legitimized horror.

Please don't be offended. Let me explain what I mean. You know when people ask you what kind of movies (or books or videogames) you  like and your answer is horror? You know how they roll their eyes and start judging you? How you can tell that they now think you are some kind of depraved psycho that burns ants with a magnifine glass or tears the wings off of butterflies or kicks puppies and makes babies cry? Well to me George was always the answer to that look. "But have you ever actually watched Night or Dawn or Day and their deep metaphorical looks at the problems with our society? Yes, his films have featured gore from day one, but did you pay attention to the dialogue and way it shows how humankind deteriorates under pressure?" These films go so much deeper that the average audience would anticipate. But not us horror fans. We understand what George is telling us. And this is part of the reason that he is my hero.

I was honored to meet George Romero a handful of times over the years. The first time was in the late 90s at the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in New York City. At the time I was an undergrad and had really become quite obsessed with his movies. I remember nervously waiting with my sister in the halls of the New Yorker Hotel.They had George sequestered in a suite upstairs, away from the convention floor. It felt like we were waiting for an audience with the pope. I was so nervous, but when I finally had my turn to meet the man, he instantly made me feel at home. He told me to have a seat next to him for the photo and so we could chat a bit. I thanked him and gushed about how much I love his work, which was pretty obvious in my Martin t-shirt. He asked me what I do and I said I was going to school at a small New Jersey college for filmmaking. "Oh, you make films too!" He said he had heard of my school and I said I know he probably hadn't, but it was so sweet for him to say so. Then we smiled for the camera and he signed my 8x10 photo with "Stay Scared!", like he always did, and sent me on my way. This small interaction meant so much to me and I cherish it to this day. How could a man that had made such important films take the time to make his fans feel so welcome and important? It boggled my mind.

About ten years later, when I was pursuing my Masters Degree, my husband and I attended the Horrorfind Convention is Hunt Valley, Maryland. I was working on a documentary project about the importance of independent cult and horror films of the 60s, 70s and 80s and had been collecting interviews with filmmakers and actors for a year. When I heard Geroge was going to be the guest of honor I wanted to go down to the show so that I could ask him for an interview. He was the epitome of my thesis, afterall.

When it was time for us to get online for his autograph, I couldn't decide which laserdisc to get signed, so I had them all in my arms. I figured I would decide while we waited our turn. Of course when the time came, I still hadn't really decided, but figured I would go with the Dead trilogy of films. When we were called up I told George about my project and handed him the three discs. I clearly remember him telling me, "Why don't I sign all of those you're holding so we can have more time to talk." He invited me to come up to Toronto where he would be starting to work on his new film, Land of the Dead, and I could film the interview while on the set. I was instructed to speak to Greg Nicatero (also a guest at the con) and send an email to Christine Romero.

I was on cloud nine! Of course when I spoke to Nicatero I found out that George had invited a few hundred people to come to the filmming, but to still contact Chris. I got an email back saying that basically it wouldn't be possible. There were just too many people coming up from the States to comply with Canadian film crew rules. But I still appreciated George's invitation and fondly remember our little chat.

Years later I finally did get that interview when George appeared down in Cherry Hill, NJ for the Monster Mania Convention. This time I was starting work on a new documentary project that focused on the evolution of women in horror and science fiction. This time George was promoting his new film, Survival of the Dead, and his manager granted me five minutes and three questions. Ever gracious, George kept talking and it ended up being more like fifteen minutes in all. I cherish that footage and hope the world will see it one day.

Geroge A. Romero made smart, thought-provoking movies set within the horror genre which showed the true horror of the human condition. He loved and appreciated his fans and embraced each of us as if we were part of the family. In fact his movies have formed a kind of family that includes not just us diehards, but also the people that starred in and worked with him to make these movies. We all have this everlasting bond of being touched by the importance of his work. While I may be just a distant cousin that can only come to visit on the big holidays, I know that I am welcome to the table with the rest of the family. And while George may be gone, his films will last forever as we all stay scared.

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005)

   About ten years ago we used to watch a lot of VH1 Classic in our apartment. I worked for the cable company back then, so we had all those digital channels. What reeled us in to the network was their retro programming that included music videos, concerts and on the weekends they would play music documentaries. One of the gems from this period was 2005's Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. A while back I picked up the 2-Disc DVD edition that featured bonus interviews and the like. I was happy to have the chance to finally re-watch this great documentary.

   What makes this movie stand out is that the host/interviewer, Sam Dunn, is not only a lifelong metalhead, but also a trained anthropologist who had just finished his Masters Degree. This adds an extra level to his research and the ability to analyze each of the separate movements from a sociological perspective.  What's great about this is an ability to look at the environments the musicians came from as well as show how their music affects their audience. There is quite a bit of discussion of why we choose to listen to heavy music and identify with the subculture. This level of study legitimized his work while he takes time from the beginning to prove his fan status as well, which is just as important. 

   The centerpiece of the film is a diagram that Dunn uses to establish subgenres starting from classic rock to Norwegian Death Metal. This grid helps to categorize key bands and see what led to them and what they eventually caused. Pretty cool work in my opinion. 

   What I really loved was seeing our fearless filmmakers interview some of metal's biggest icons. You feel like we all got together and picked the smartest fan and decided he should be our spokesperson. Watching him talk to Dio, Toni Iommi and Alice Cooper, just to name a few, you can just imagine how amazing it must have felt to sit down with these true legends. 

   The fact that the documentary is an oral history by the right people (because of how serious and important they treat the subject) makes me happy that this film exists. Knowing how many of the musicians interviewed aren't with us anymore makes me proud of them for making this film at the right time and so well. It does a great job of justifying what most of us already know, which is that heavy metal is more than a fad or musical trend that will disappear when it is no longer popular. Like horror films, metal may wax and wane in the public eye, but the die hard fans are forever.

   I highly recommend the bonus footage and interviews on the special edition. The highlight is an extended version of the section dealing with Norwegian Death Metal and the rash of church burnings that surrounded its origins. Considering this is a branch of metal music that I have only a little knowledge of since I have no interest in it musically, I learned quite a bit from this more in depth look.

   In the end I would highly recommend Metal: A Headbanger's Journey to all fans of music in general, but especially metal. You might even learn something while you bang your head along to the soundtrack.

Adjust Your Tracking (2013)

   If you are anything like me, you collect things. I know I started collecting books when I was pretty young (probably thanks to the Scholastic catalog at school). As I got older it became records and tapes. Then I found comic books and eventually I started collecting movies. Of course my original format was VHS tapes. Now if you collect movies like I do, you probably upgraded at some point for Laserdisc, then DVD and maybe even Blu-ray. That is not true for the guys in this movie. And once you find out how much room, time and money they invest into their collections, you may even feel better about your own collecting.

    Adjust Your Tracking (2013 by Dan M. Kinem and Levi Peretic) is a documentary that further investigates the recent trend in VHS collecting. Yes, it really is a thing that people do. While partially based on the nostalgia driven hording of movies that remind of our youths spent at the local Mom & Pop video store, there are some further motivations for this hobby. While there were literally millions (maybe billions or more) titles available on video tape, not all of those movies made the transfer to digital mediums. Most notably, the world of "direct to video" and extremely low budget horror films suffered a massive loss, especially the ultra low budget "shot on video" movies that came out during the video store boom. Some also collect VHS so that they can revel in the cover art and large packaging of the movies. The bigger the better in a world of slipcovers, clam shells and big box (or what we used to call porn box) variations.

   I found myself mesmerized as these collectors discussed video tapes as if they were fine wines as they made sure they found the right editions to add to their collections. Showing off the rooms devoted to their tapes and sharing war stories from browsing through garage sales, flea markets and closing stores, the viewer can't help but relate to their own collecting, no matter what it is you collect.

   The real kicker is the discussions about what came to be considered the rare gems, those crown jewels in the collections of the true aficionados. It is unreal to hear first hand accounts of eBay sales that went up to $700 by the sellers, the buyers and the other bidders. This is truly one of the most bizarre success story of the ages. For those gamers out there, hearing these guys talk about their quest for Tale of the Quadead Zone just made me remember the eBay debacle years ago back when Nintendo's Stadium Events went for thousands of dollars.

   All in all, the story of these collectors, which includes a few filmmakers from that era, is like any other fan-base around an extinct medium. Records and 8-bit video games also give us those warm and fuzzy memories of the first times we encountered the things that became precious to us. They may be outdated, but these tapes can help us to remember simpler times...before Amazon and Netflix. Back in the day when you had to get of your couch to drive down to the store to see if they had the movie you wanted or, heaven forbid, you may have to travel to a different store, even further away if your store didn't carry it. Then you may have even have been out of luck if someone rented it before you got there. These were tough times, people!

   As someone who worked for years at a local video store, I particularly appreciated the portion of the documentary when they asked people for their opinions of Blockbuster Video. They were the big monster that was slowly eating up all of the little guys that made up their competition, only to be devastated a decade later by mail order and now the streaming services of today. But nothing compares to the shared hatred of the interviewed than the topic of Red Box, those heartless vending machines in grocery stores and outside of 7-11. In an age where this small group of die hard collectors are trying to keep hope alive that one day video stores will make a comeback, Red Box even more than Netflix, seems to embody everything they feel is wrong with society today. I get it. I miss the days when I could walk into a store and browse the boxes till I found something that sounded entertaining and then talk to a clerk for a few minutes about movies. As much as I would love for that to happen again, I know it is a part of the past.

   If you find this documentary as fascinating as I did, I recommend the Two-Disc Edition. Disc two has a few short docs on the fall of the video store as well as a piece where the crew gets sidetracked and tries to find the famous spot of the Bigfoot sighting which has a statue commemorating the event. There are also extended cuts of each interview that include even more horror stories and antidotes from the wild and crazy world of VHS collecting.

  I really enjoyed this movie and would highly recommend it to horror fans and collectors of all kinds. If you frequent comic cons or horror and scifi events looking for that piece de resistance for your own collection, you will appreciate this film too.

Holiday Week Bonus Edition - Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 (1987)

Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 (1987) by Lee Harry is a waste of time. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. You would be better off just re-watching the original movie, because that is most of this movie anyway. Let me explain...

It takes 39 minutes to actually get to the story of Part 2. I thought the first one had too many flashbacks, but this is ridiculous. The majority of this film is told through a narrated series of memories being told to a psychologist. The main character this time is the little brother of last episode's protagonist. So the extended re-telling of the original murder of the boy Billy's parents from the first film is now told by the little baby in the scene, Ricky. This is almost as believable as that flashback in The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 that is from the family's dog.

I should have known better during the opening credits of this movie. Any time that there are no less that eight names in the "written by" credits, you can be pretty sure you are in for a big pile of excrement.

The only movies to successfully re-tell the original in the sequels was the Evil Dead series. And the key to Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn was to completely re-shoot the pre-story to help blend the backstory into the new movie to get viewers that missed the original up to date without insulting your audience that is returning. Silent Night 2 is more along the lines of a filler episode of a television series that uses clips to fill in their season when they are out of original material.

So after we sit through about 80% of the original film, we can finally get to the new story of Part 2. What would a bunch of nuns operating an orphanage do to deal with the little brother of a guy who dressed up as Santa and punished people to death? Make sure he is adopted by a nice Jewish family, of course. No Christmas rage triggers here. Only problem is that now anytime he sees nuns or the color red he freaks out.

The real problem here is that once we finally get to the story of 12 year old Ricky, we really don't care anymore. Then things get confusing when the kid in the 17 year old flashbacks is not the same guy that plays 18 year old Ricky in his most recent flashbacks (who is also playing Ricky in the present day). It really starts to feel like the filmmakers just filmed chunks of the movie whenever they had a chance and tried to tie it all up together in post-production.

The following killing rampage doesn't bother to follow any of the rules previously established in the movies. We no longer need a Santa, Christmas or even the color red to trigger Ricky to punish people. Now he just kills because he can. This scene is so classy that the highlight is Ricky shooting a guy taking out the trash and screaming "GARBAGE DAY". Its in one of the trailers. Actually this entire sequence makes up most of the trailer on the extras.So we have gotten so far off topic by now in the movie that the only thing I am thinking about it is, "how many bullets can he possibly have in that handgun?" I will admit that the way the film answers that question is one of the only clever moments it has.

So the ending that you expected from the start of the movie finally happens. We finally get to see Ricky dressed up as Santa, but the actor is hamming it up so much by now that he comes off as a cross between Jack from The Shining and Freddy Kruger. Meanwhile the end of the movie plays off like an extended rip off of the opening from Friday the 13th Part 2. Nothing new here.

But wait...I forgot to mention that they use EVEN MORE footage from the original when Ricky takes his girlfriend to the movies to see a killer Santa film. Now this is just getting stupid!

There is nothing subtle or remotely interesting about this cheese ball sequel. While the original had a kind of sleazy charm, this one failed to keep me entertained. I am glad that I picked up this Christmas Survival Double Feature DVD set so that I could re-live the original, now I know why I couldn't remember anything about Part 2. There really wasn't enough new material  to stand out in my mind. Oh, and it's also sad that there are much more Special Features on the disc for Part 2 than the original.

I would only recommend this movie to people that haven't seen the original film yet, but to be honest, you're probably better off just waiting till you can get your hands on Part 1.

Holiday Edition - Silent Night Deadly Night (1984)

A yuletide classic if ever there was one, Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), is a true video store classic. A morality tale that hits you over the head (sometimes literally) with its message about the dangers of being naughty. It also reminds you that sometimes the holidays can be pretty brutal.

Charles E. Sellier's Silent Night, Deadly Night is the story of a young boy who watches his parents get murdered by a criminal in a Santa Claus costume. This obviously causes severe trauma and the grows up equating being naughty with a vengeful Santa. Years later the boy grows up to be a strapping teenager who gets a job at the local toy store. Everything seems to be going just fine till the store's Santa calls out sick and the boss asks their newest employee to step into the red suit. Then all hell breaks loose and the naughty must be punished!

I must have been a young teen when I first rented this cult classic. Paired with the Santa story at the end of the original Tales from the Crypt movie from 1970, there was quite a reputation for these killer Santa flicks. Fangoria loved the Silent Night series (there are a handful of squeals) and the gory moments they highlighted made me fall in love with them too. I also have a soft spot in in my heart for the original film because it was one of the first laserdiscs I owned. To be honest though, I only know part one and two, so I can't speak for the second half of the series or the recent remake.

The pacing, acting, costuming and kills all feel like rejected scenes from the Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises. This film is so 80s that the toy store sequences feature Smurf Shrinky Dinks, the Krull boardgame and the Return of the Jedi Jabba's Palace playset (a personal favorite from childhood). The only thing that makes it even more 80s is that one of the naughty, fornicating teens is a young Linea Quigley.

Watching the original film now, I can honestly say that I can't think of any other films the use so many flashbacks. There are event moments that feature flashbacks in the flashbacks. We constantly relive the original murder scene from the beginning of the movie.It's like they weren't sure we could follow the main character's correlation between naughty behavior leading to death by Santa. It's the premise of the freaking movie! It's safe to assume we figured it out in the first 15 minutes.

Regardless of some of the klunkiness of the plot and the "premarital sex leads to violent death" trope, this film still holds up pretty well. It is a great example of the slasher genre and has had a major influence on the world of horror. There were many imitators, but this film stands out as the first of its kind. It may be a little sleazy and a little schlocky, but its still a good little movie.

As a nice added feature on this "Christmas Survival Double Feature" edition was the look at how controversy added to the legacy of the movie. In a collection of text re-prints from articles and reviews of the film, we get to see how adults from all over the country freaked out from the posters and ads. The clever filmmakers started to turn the tables and use the negative comments to fuel the fire for their revised ad campaign. "The film they didn't want you to see!" and "They tried to ban it!" just made the posters all the more alluring. The real moral to the story of Silent Night, Deadly Night is that there is no such things as bad press!

So snuggle up by the fire and break out the eggnog and holiday cooking while you enjoy this holiday video nasty. I recommend this film to all fans of slashers, grindhouse films and sleazy video rentals of the 80s. Oh and Merry Christmas!

The Conjuring (2013) - Halloween Extravaganza Part 3!

As I have said before on this blog, I am a big fan of the original Amityville Horror (1979). The case has always fascinated me. When I first heard about The Conjuring (2013) it definitely peaked my interest. I loved the idea of seeing another story based on a case that the Warren's investigated. I was a bit put off by the marketing campaign for the film that made it seem like every other films of the past decade though. Now that I have finally sat down and watched it, I am glad to say that I loved it.

If you don't know, The Conjuring is a story of a haunting. A family of 7 (five daughters and their parents) move into a big old house in Rhode Island. After only a few days, strange things start to happen. Eventually it builds to a point that the family realizes that they are in danger because of the ghosts or whatever it is that is tormenting them in their home. The mother finds out about a couple that is giving a lecture at a nearby college about paranormal investigation. She meets them afterwards and persuades them to come see her home, for the safety of her daughters. That couple are Ed and Lorraine Warren and this story is before the case that would make them famous at a house in Amityville Long Island.

I really appreciated that The Conjuring does not feel like modern films. Its more like the scary movies of the 70s and 80s. Unlike the re-make, this movie really could fit well with the original Amityville Horror. The approach is much more personal and heartfelt to me than you expect these days. You really do start to not just care about these people, but worry about their safety.

I was so surprised that the film was well cast, well written, compelling and not just a set up for repeated jump scares. The characters really are fleshed out and feel natural. These are not just one dimensional people, destined to be tortured for our amusement. This realistic approach made the movie feel very respectful of both families that are involved and honest in telling their version of the story.

I also appreciated both the attention paid to the droning, unsettling score as well as the use of physical special effects when possible. I am so happy to see that James Wan really is more than just that guy who made Saw (2004). He really does know how to make effective horror that will haunt you after the movie is over. I enjoyed The Conjuring so much that it makes me not only want to watch the sequel, but to also check out Insidious (2010) which was also helmed by Wan. Both series of films had so much hype that I lost interest, but its great to see that it may all have been warranted.

As for the Blu-Ray, the first two featurettes are excellent mini-docs on both the Parron family's haunting and the life's work of the Warrens. It is so powerful to hear the real Mrs. Warren recall the couple's experiences over the years as paranormal investigators. Couple that with the actual Parrons describing the horrors they experienced in their home, you can really appreciate what everyone in the film feel that they experienced. It will make you want to believe.

So you have probably all already seen this movie, so I am probably preaching to the choir on this one. If you are like me and hadn't jumped on board yet, I am here to tell you it was worth the plunge! Anyone who enjoys haunted stories or good scary movies needs to give The Conjuring a chance. Believe me!
