I watched the two Cinemasochism Halloween Safety shorts.
Halloween Safety 1977 - Just, kinda dull. I'm not just comparing it to the Hor-Riff-ic Productions riff either, since they are hard acts to follow. No, taken on it's own this riff is just..unimpressive. The vocal performance is rather flat. Not bad, per se, but not enough uniqueness and energy put into it.
Yes, write it all down. There were no stalkers back in 1977.
Huh. Look at Steven Tyler camping it up.
"Stay in your own neighborhood when you are Trick-or-Treating."---Indeed. Watts gives out crappy treats.
Halloween Safety 1985 - Right from the very first two riffs, I can tell this is going to be a MUCH better performance. I wrote that last sentance only a few seconds into watching this (fully aware I might have to remove it). But fortunately I was right. This couldn't be more night and day difference in vocal performance and quality of riffing antertainment from the 1977 short he riffed last year! And remember, I didn't hate that one per se, it just didn't impress much. Here, we have plenty of different voices and emphesis, giving this an impressive amount of energy.
I do note that there are some points of too long stretches between riffs. Not common, but it's when he is trying not to riff over the dialog. I understand this is a good idea, it just shouldn't be a hard and fast rule. Just don't cover any dialog that is pertinant to the plot and you're fine.
There was an unexpected added bonus of an old commercial for an 80s brick-like handheld calculator (for only $345!) that is riffed at the end.
Judging by the narrator's voice, I think he's on the Sex Offenders Registry List.
Indeed. This Ted Bundy correspondance course is awefully messy, though.
The sherrif is a ni*gong*.
"It isn't hard to have a safe Halloween."---But it's flipping boring as hell.
And you're well on your way to successful management opportunities, uh, I mean a safe Halloween.
What are you doing Dave? What are you doing Dave? What are you doing Dave? What are you doing Dave? What are you doing Dave?
Couldn't they just rent an asian kid for less money?
All in all, I would recommend both of these. My opinion is not the end-all be-all, so you may get more enjoyment out of the 1977 one than I did (and I did have some I laughed at that I noted). While still not as good as the Hor-Riff-ic Productions riffs, the 1985 one is definitely worth getting. Kudos to Cinemasochism for improving so much in just a year.
