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 HouseEdit: It's this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093090/
http://www.rifftrax.com/vod/ghost-house
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.
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...
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.

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."
Awesome. So it's part 3! That always works out well for horror films. :^)
Did they make Part 4, Ghost House: In Space?
Quote from: Pak-Man on January 14, 2012, 10:36:48 PM

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.
the driving song is almost as good as funky spock. i approve.
I agree about disliking the new poster designs. Almost didn't buy the Captain America riff because the poster made me think it was a "rifftrax presents" and I couldn't figure out who did the riff.
But I'm excited about watching both Cap't America amd noe Ghosthouse this weekend. Have a feeling that Ghosthouse will be especially great.
Does this movie have anything to do with Denver?

I can't see that because I am at work. The synopsis mentioned the popularity of Kim Basinger vs some other chick in Denver. It intrigued me is all

The main guy is trying to reach someone in Denver. The exterior street signs show Boston references, so, nope. We just get a mention.
If you need a Denver movie fix, I'll loan you my copy of Aspen Extreeeeeeeemmmmmeeeee!!!!
It's available naow by the way..
I'm gonna wait till the weekend to get this as I'm awaiting a eBay sale (hopefully) and I'll have the extra funds I need :o
Where'd the Divx option go?!?
Had to make a correction, should be back up soon.

Yeah, that is much better. Never thought I would say that about Bill in drag, but...

Yeah, well, y'know. That's, just like, your opinion, man.
Just found out about this. Don't think I've seen this movie. Might have it in one of my box sets somewhere. Italtian horror. Should be interesting.

I agree with these. Without Mike Kevin and Bill, there's just 'a distorted poster', not a parody/clearly-'RiffTrax' poster.

Yeah: THAT is a distinctly RiffTrax poster! Thanks eegah!
By the way: I know that it is The Powers That Be, not Jason Martian that made the 'film-actors-not-M/K/B' decision. So no complaints about Jason's work. Just please bring back the Mike/Kevin/Bill posters for the RiffTrax.
I never look at the posters. Are they even necessary?
Quote from: Artie on January 21, 2012, 05:21:42 PM

I think so. For one, they provide an eye-catching and humorous label for the website, especially on the individual product pages.
However, I have to agree that the new style just isn't working. I guess I just don't get the point of using the actual faces of the actors. It's not very funny nor is it all that interesting.
I opened up this discussion to general RiffTrax users (who might not stop in this specific thread).
That thread - Bring Back the Mike, Kevin & Bill RiffTrax Movie 'Posters' - is here: http://forum.rifftrax.com/index.php?topic=23444.0 (http://forum.rifftrax.com/index.php?topic=23444.0) if anyone wants to comment on that, rather than this specific VOD.
I wonder how many emails I am going to get about this release.... I think I've counted about 26 already.
Is there something wrong with the mailing list?!? Janelle also says she gets about 4-10 (for a more realistic number) emails about each release too....
Weird, I just got my first one today and thought it was odd it was coming so late.
Yeah, I just got the Ghosthouse e-mail today as well. I don't think I've ever received duplicates. Beefer, your innertubes be all messed up 'n' shit.
Woops posted a new thread instead of here. I`m a doofus, live with it.
Shame my money off coupon came a few days after I bought it.
I think it can be used for other stuff but consarnit(is that how you spell it ?)

Well if Janelle wasn't having the same thing happen to her, then maybe I'd think it was just my interwebs. Next time there's a new release, I'll count how many emails I get.
Is it possible to have ended up on the mailing list multiple times??
I just got another one.... Now they're just mocking me.
i've only received three emails. i guess i'm not cool enough. :(

Well the most recent one has a coupon code, so I'm not complaining. :^)

I got 2 coupon codes.
They`re the same so nuts to that. I`ve already got the good VOD`s, don`t want unriffed stooges.
Tried to use on the new short (it`s meant for full length VOD only). Darn it, it didn`t work.
New short... means i got something to watch. Can`t knit socks every night.

So, what is the rule of posters now ?
Sometimes it`s the guys and sometimes it`s drawn.
They wanted to try the illustrated posters because there were some on the team who did not like the original formula (which I still think was perfectly fine) and later decided to go with the original formula but using the actors from the film instead of Mike, Kevin & Bill I am guessing as a way to reach a wider audience who aren't necessarily familiar with MST3K. Sorry to hear so many fans here aren't into the latest versions of the posters. :-\ It's not my fault, I SWEAR! haha... In any case, I stand by my work, whatever style they prefer at RT headquarters.

Thanks for weighing in and giving us the lowdown, Jason. Much appreciated. I don't think anyone thought it was your decision.
I hope it ends up boosting sales for them. Still don't like it, but if it increases business, it increases business, and that's good for all of us.

I agree. I love RiffTrax and I love working with them. I am for anything that keeps RiffTrax afloat and me on deck sailing with the crew.
