Yes, yes, Ghost House is a film about a dead little girl who has an evil clown doll that commands her to kill. That's all well and good. But it's the little things about Ghost House that really make you stand up and say "Wait, what?"

The star of Ghost House is a Ham Radio operator who, HEY GET BACK HERE!!! Anyways, this Ham Radio operator one day asks a fellow Ham Radio operator "Who is more popular in Denver, Kim Basinger or Kelly LeBrock?" This has nothing to do with the plot of Ghost House, but we just wanted to point out that this pressing question is raised in an actual movie at some point in time.

So the Ham Radio guy and his ambiguously European girlfriend eat some chili, debate Ham Radio ethics* then go to the Ghost House where they meet a guy named Jim Dalen. We learn a lot about Jim Dalen, who's staying outside in an RV with, among others, his sister Tina. That would be Tina Dalen. Jim Dalen's sister.

And hang on a second, we nearly forgot Pepe! Pepe is no relation to Jim Dalen, but he...you know what, this whole thing will make a lot more sense once you watch Ghost House. Go spend some time with Jim Dalen, Tina Dalen, Kelly LeBrock and Pepe, then come back when you're ready to discuss the film. We're going to go get some chili.

*Both of those things actually happen in Ghost House

Edit: It's this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093090/

Wasn't Pepe the name of Disembaudio's ventriloquist puppet?

Hoo-boy.



Can't wait!

Fantastic.

One IMDB reviewer said of Ghosthouse - "Not only was it good, but it was also good! "  Hard to argue with that.

[Compound]

Oh, wow.  This looks absolutely insane.

Hooray! VODs are probably my favourite thing you guys do now.

Looking forward to the new VOD!

But I gotta tell ya', I really really can't stand the new poster designs.

I'm beggin' ya', PLEASE bring back the Mike/Kevin/Bill bobbleheads.

Even with DisembAudio, it just doesn't look like it's a RiffTrax product without them on the posters.

I appreciate all the effort, and I know what you're trying to go for, but I honestly don't think it's helping define the brand. I think it's actually taking away from the iconic format that was working before...

[Darth Geek]

I have to agree. Having Mike Kevin and Bill on the covers in some way (as well as Disembaudio) is what makes it distincly for a Rifftrax product and not the movie itself.
Had you done this style from the beginning, perhapse, then Dis would be the "embodiment of Rifftrax" and it's symbol. But really, Mike (and to a lesser extent Kevin and Bill) is.

My sister went to college with a girl who played a ghost girl in some cheesy old horror movie.  I *think* it was this movie, but I can't remember.  This was in 1997 that we saw this movie, so I guess this girl, who's name I seem to recall was Kristin, would have been about 20 at the time.  I remember thinking how awesome it would be if that movie were featured on MST3K.

This is an Italian film though, is that right?

I could be selectively remembering to make the pieces fit, but I think my sister's friend grew up somewhere in Europe.

Damn.  I could just ask my sister if not for that uncomfortable falling out we had a few weeks ago.

This is an Italian film though, is that right?

I think so. My google searches last night (because I wanted to see this before the riff)  shows an alternate title of "La Casa 3 - La Maison du Cauchemar."

[Pak-Man]

Awesome. So it's part 3! That always works out well for horror films. :^)

[Darth Geek]

Did they make Part 4, Ghost House: In Space?

[MrTorso]

Awesome. So it's part 3! That always works out well for horror films. :^)

It is not really a sequel to anything, but the first two Evil Dead films were called La Casa so a lot of people were duped into seeing it.
