My God, that was AWESOME!!!


I'm amazed at how little actually happens in this movie. Thanks Mike and Kevin for making it so blatantly obvious!!

Yup, I noticed the same thing, and was likewise amazed!

 I watched the movie before the rifftrax came out just to see if I could guess what some of the riffs would be. And I noticed that the three friends really didn't seem to like each other. After seeing that I was really hoping that Mike and Kevin would notice this too. Needless to say I wasn't let down. I think it was a good job all around on this one.

the time of day / rainy / sunny errors were great too!

According to the Behind-the-scenes material, the movie was filmed during the spring in Southern California, so they had to buy some fake leaves and paint them brown to scatter everywhere in an attempt to make it look like fall.

Those silly independent filmmakers!

Not as silly as studio pictures that will cover whole fields in fake snow.

I'll be honest, somewhere in the Pleasance riffing I was hoping for at least one Puma Man reference.

Pleasance: "Tony Farms! You're just a small, insignificant... human being!"
Tom: "That's Hooman being!"

I really liked this one - particularly the riffs about the hyperextended "people walking down the street" shots.

Unlike almost everyone I've ever met, I was bored senseless by Halloween the first time I saw it. Don't get me wrong; I fully recognise its place in movie history and the undeniable influence it has had. However, for me, it utterly fails as a horror film.

The Rifftrax treatment in this case was, in my lowly opinion, richly deserved, well judged and hugely appreciated.

Cheers,

Cy.

Congrats to DisembAudio for delivering his best line yet!

"...in honor of Halloween: boo."


In the words of ScottH: Champagne Comedy!

I watched this one last night (along with X Men).  Halloween has always been one of my favorite films of the genre, and I expected a great Rifftrax to come out of it.  I was not disappointed.  I had forgotton how slowly paced and methodical this movie was in dishing out the gore.  Much more refreshing than the Hostel's and Saw's that come out nowadays, where everything is so in-your-face and non-stop. 

I always love it when they make music references during a riff, such as the Janis Ian and Sheriff references during this, or the Talking Heads reference during X Men.

Speaking of which, did you catch the Radiohead reference in Halloween?

When Jamie's friend tries to confront Michael Myers behind the hedge, she shouts "listen, creep!" and Mike says Thom Yorke?

This one was pretty great, although I was having some unfortunate sync errors at the end. It was one of those situations where trying to correct it just seems to make things worse...

The second I saw Donald Pleasance, I started laughing. Damn you, thePumaman, for conditioning an automatic hillarity response to his Royal Baldness.

How did Jamie Lee Curtis manage to look an embittered 35 even at that age?

Favorite Riffs:

"Bloody knife... clown suit... Okay, well it's cold out here, we're gonna head inside."

"....and 15 years later, the parents are still both staring at the kid on their lawn."

(kid falls on pumpkin)  "A young Billy Corgan sets out on his musical career..."

For super meta- action, AMC aired Halloween last night in widescreen with added scenes and running text commentary.

Peter Cushing apparently passed on the role of Dr. Loomis, later calling it "the biggest mistake of his career."   But I love Donald Pleasence, and wouldn't trade him for a couple of Grand Moff Tarkin jokes.

I really liked the line "I don't know why I agreed to move in with my realtor."

My fav: "I'm already emailing Matt Drudge."
