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/

A dubbed cheap Italian horror movie from the 80's?  Oh, man, I can't wait, maybe I'll save it for tomorrow if the weather gets bad and I can't drive across the river to NJ...

Reading the stuff on IMDB it sounds like there's some gore, did Rifftrax do any editing?

Well there's 'gore' in this movie yes, but there were also 'birds' in Birdemic.

I have to say the way they try to scare you is gold. Nothing like balloon special effects to pump up the heart rate. Worked for 'IT' didn't it?

And I was just waiting for a Scooby Doo joke. The characters were all there, except the part of Velma was played by an ethical ham radio operator in a leather turtleneck.

Chimental is right there is some gore. I am not a fan of horror movies and can list some of them as the only Rifftrax's I haven't seen. This is as much a horror movie as your typical haunted house is. The special effects are lame to say the least. With the one that's supposed to be the scariest shown during the sample. That being the maggots on deaths face. Those werent scary either.

Of course there is one death that is pretty interesting.  One that cut to the point pretty well. Her death is both funny and honestly a surprise. But I don't want to spoil one of the few things worth spoiling.

The riffing is good and I get the feeling that this will be one that gets better with multiple viewings. Plus how bad can a movie be when we get yet another random Euro accent from the female lead.
Fodder's just this guy, you know.
