Best of the Worst: Halloween 2022 

"Bad movies aren't fun unless the person who made the movie tried." One of the wisest things I've ever heard.

I love how the trekkie called Jay a nerd for knowing Shelob

_"I GOT MOLESTED"_ _"IN THE LITTLE BOY'S ROOM!"_ RLM can be over now, we've hit the peak.

Putting the shot of David Carradine putting a noose around his neck over the line "Everyone's having a real good time." at 1:26:27 is some of the most brilliant comedic editing I've ever seen.

Oh hey, Demons at the Door! I actually knew Pat Tantalo (the writer). He was a special effects guy who did work on movies like Ace Ventura and many others (lots and lots of B movies). He also did lots of recording for wrestling matches and music videos, including the Insane Clown Posse, hence why they had access to d-grade wrestlers for actors and F-grade ICP music for the soundtrack. Roy Knyrim (the director) was a buddy of his. This is something they apparently did "for fun", but oh my God, I felt like I was going to die while watching it. Honestly though, Pat was a really cool guy. Had a very nice family. Big fan of classic horror and would be the one who set up the haunted house in his neighborhood. Sadly he contracted brain cancer and died in 2018. Try and remember him for the better things he did in life ... and not for Demons at the Door.

"We are bound to review bad movies until we die" good to know we might get another year of this.

Mike accurately pulling "Tokyo Rose" out of nowhere and only Rich getting it was so sweet I love the way they love

Congrats to Mike for still being able to fit into his “I’m Just Here For The Boos” t-shirt for this many years

"The climax happened years later in a hotel in Bangkok" Rich is genuinly one of the funniest people i have ever seen.

“The climax happened years later in a hotel in Bangkok” was by far the best line of the episode

I guess now that I'm 39, I should finally come out and admit I swapped Evil Toons out with a G to PG-13 rated movie at Blockbuster when I was a kid. A lot. Like sooo many times. And now my parents know why on certain nights I had all of Thundercats and Masters of The Universe buildings and castles stacked on each other right behind the door when they opened it. I would hear them start crashing and falling and hit Stop on the VCR, and pretend I had that stuff stacked there because I was cleaning and needed it out of the way. Though I suspect my dad knew with how he would chuckle. RIP dad. Lol

“They re-arranged the fishes in the shape of a person out of respect" is the best line i have ever heard in my entire life

The David Carradine jokes always have me choking back laughter

"I'm too scared, my brain won't work" may be the greatest line ever said in cinematic story.

"Do you have any evidence to back up this evidence?" got me.

For a guy outside the US where we don't really celebrate Halloween, I now associate the date with a Best of the Worst Holloween Special and even bought some drinks to fully celebrate the event.

The Halloween set this year looks absolutely incredible. Rich really went all out with the spooky props this time

The compositing work on Tim and Josh is great, I can almost believe they’re in the same room even though I know they agreed to never meet again after *last time*

Jay's freakish encyclopedic memory of movies will always fascinate me

"We arranged the fish in a shape of a person out of respect" - Rich Evans with his bulletproof Italian movie logic.

Halloween just isn't complete without the annual spooky themed "Middle-aged men getting drunk and watching awful movies for the internet" video.

You gotta appreciate the amount of effort they put into these sets for just a one-off video.

"You can't stop David Carradine by choking him! Only he can do that!" by Jay at 53:20 was hilarious. Then they go on to give him shit for a much more mild joke hahaha.

Mike learning the word swol for the first time is way funnier than it should be

it's just not a BOTW episode without someone smashing or destroying a piece of equipment during filming. thanks for keeping the tradition strong, josh.

Monique Gabrielle has been a star in our "Bad movie nights" for such a long time, I remember being excited when RLM saw Deathstalker II for the first time just to see their reaction about Monique Gabrielle and they HATED her. But I am glad they grew fond of her by now, she is an acquired taste of amazing bad acting. She is just pure fun.

Honestly, the nudity in Evil Toons feels a lot less gross than most BoTW movies. It doesn't feel they were coerced into it, they're not sitting on a disgusting Chooper mattress, they probably didn't get the Marina Sirtis in Death Wish 3 treatment between takes...that's really the best you can hope for.

russell crowe as mr. plinkett is the gritty reboot the world needs right now

Rich calling out Jay for knowing who Shelob is as if that man doesn't know Captain Pickard's shoe size.

I love how Rich is constantly fighting against the spider webs. An underrated bit 😂

"He never misses face day." -Tim Most underrated joke in the episode.

The RedLetterMedia Halloween Best of the Worst is one of my absolute favorite annual traditions. Thanks boys, and may you continue to have fun doing what you love.

Josh immediately asserts dominance by destroying the environment

The edit to Josh/Jay when Rich talked about "going anal" had me in stitches. Also awesome set, thanks for keeping the h'ween BOTW tradition alive.

The demons in that movie reminded me of Robot in the Family, where the overdubbed, frantic dialogue actually brings on anxiety

"You throw a rock in our movie room and you're gonna hit rape" - Jay Bauman

Tim & Josh together at last? This truly is a Halloween miracle.

I was lying in bed sick and had RLM videos on auto play while I drifted in and out of sleep. I woke up briefly just in time at 01:07:25 to hear _"I got molested... IN THE LITTLE BOYS ROOM!"_ and laughed myself back to sleep. It was like a fever dream.

we should not let such a great joke as "he never misses face day" go by without hearty applause

Best of the worst is a series I hope never dies…

Can we all just appreciate the set they built for this? What a gorgeous backdrop for this episode.

Mike fucking with the spiders and being in the back of the shot killed me

42:30 Jay gaslighting Rich Evans into thinking he mispronounced "perverts"

Rich Evans shows his physical comedy genius by managing to quietly struggle with a fake spider web for 5 minutes.

Monique Gabrielle is gonna have to be added to BOTW's Hall of Fame at some point, right alongside the Cameron Mitchell portrait.

Man, Jay's laugh is underrated. I contend that his laugh is as memorable, recognizable, and as contagious as Rich's laugh is!

How did NO ONE laugh at the "OH is that what this is?! I thought it was a.... a solar eclipse?!.." line?!?!?!?!

“This is like reading the necronomicon in Dario Argentos basement!” -Gex

The fact that John Dilworth of Courage the Cowardly Dog fame animated the Evil Toon really makes the softcore porn/horror memorable.

I'm just glad to see Rich is still alive.

I ran across Evil Toons about a month ago and watched it. In the privacy of my own home I had SO much fun ridiculing the David Carradine aspect. I immediately thought it would be perfect for a BOTW. Sometimes dreams come true.

Rich can’t pronounce 90% of English words but can pronounce the German word “Schadenfreude” almost perfectly. Okay…

this is one of the best halloween BOTW sets ever, the letters dangling in cobwebs is such a nice touch

This is one of the episodes I watch once a day. At least lately. The Evil Toons discussion is my favorite out of the three ^_^

"Evil Toons, because boobies." Tim is a man who knows his priorities.

"He never misses face day" was an underrated comment by Tim

My new favorite thing is Tim telling a joke, then Mike drunkenly trying to one up him by telling the same joke.

If Monique gabrielle is still alive, you guys gotta get her on your show and watch her movies she stared in on an episode. It would be fantastic

I know that Rich Evans is so irresistible the guys had to stop having women on the show, but could we please try to get Monique to guest star?

1:06:23 The best moment. Mike's delivery of "You want me to Winnie the Pooh it?" is gold!

"Use the Force, Linda Hamilton" I lost it.

Rich struggling in the web is the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

That terrifying Halloween monster you guys have, Rich Evans, was too spooky to be featured in this episode, glad you guys kept his use to a minimum this year

Rich calling Jay a fucking nerd is one of life's simple pleasures

I hope these David Carradine jokes never run out of breath.

Evil Toons is freaking awesome! Great fun to watch and clearly to make, too. The "nobody died" thing is actually brought up by the same director (Fred Olen Ray) in his commentary for similar movie Witch Academy, explaining that it just made everything more light-hearted and easier to laugh with if nobody actually died. So glad the crew have seen Deathstalker 2 since the time I saw it on one of their Plinketto videos not getting picked. Not just for Monique, but as the only Deathstalker that was an outright comedy and like Evil Toons knows it is silly shit and is much better for it. Monique Gabrielle is adorable in anything (check out her bizarre cameos in Hard to Die and Not of This Earth) and always makes me laugh. Jim Wynorski has a great eye for fun talent regardless of actual acting ability, and not just the obvious attributes he loves. Silk 2 is terrible, though. Finally, cheers to Jay for being just seconds behind me in yelling "that movie exists and is called Sorority House Massacre II!" It is even better than Evil Toons, mainly because of Peter Spellos as Orville Ketchum, one of my favourite horror slasher villains (kind of) who is hilariously brutalised during the course of that movie and the semi-sequel Hard to Die. PS if you like Evil Toons, check out Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama with Linnea and Brink as well as Michelle. Oh, and the Evil Toons Michelle Bauer cameo with Dick Miller is my second favourite thing he's done onscreen after "you clumsy son of a bitch!" :)

"This demon is like Twitter personified". Jay has never said anything more true.

RLM really spared no expense on Rich's CGI this year. He's so life-like it's scary.

😆 🤣 😆 "The Blair Witch, I f@#$ed her!" 😆 🤣 😆 Dying!!! Just made my top ten list of best one liners of all time!! 😆 🤣 😆 ❤️

The strangest thing about Demons at the Door is that Danny Elfman's brother is in it

I absolutely love the moment at 51:23 where Tim loses it because of Jay’s obscure sex provert B-movie knowledge. He’s like “of course Jay knew another movie exactly like this trash”

It's hard to tell when the demon's laughter ends and Rich Evans laughter begins.

We can't get enough of the incomparable Rich Evans in our household. He's a genuinely great actor, among his many other talents.

35:10 It is fucked up that no one was laughing as hard as Jay during this sequence. I could barely breathe. You soulless bastards.

Finally, the hole in my soul has been filled. And it starts off with Tim Higgins? Truly a Halloween miracle.

I've just had the worst two hours of my life. I opened youtube to seek some escape and I'm greeted by one of the few things that can help dull the pain. Genuine thanks to you RLM fellas.

He didn’t say provert! He said it right! Justice for Rich Evans!

Mike getting blackout drunk is one of my favorite Halloween Traditions

how is no one talking about how great Rich Evans looks? keep it up man!!!!

Every day the RLM cast gets closer to just accidentally watching porn together

If “It’s a sleazy piece of shit used to exploit women” - Rich Evans isn’t used as a pull quote on the case of the DVD restoration of Evil Toons I will be terribly disappointed

I saw the cover still and was like No Josh On A Halloween Episode? BOO!!! Glad I watched anyways.

PORK CHOP SANDWICHES! I also want to say how much I appreciate the motif throughout the entire run of BOTW of never bothering to refer to the actors by their actual names (real life or character) and refer to them by the name of a famous look-alike. I love it.

The production value of RLM's special effects is unparalleled

Mike jumpscare at 57:24 was actually scary for a sec lol

the delivery of the homophobic demon saying "homosexuals" made me laugh for a solid 3 minutes

56:48 jay’s shocked face is amazing

"Tickle me homophobe" had me on the floor!

''For reasons that are not clear, until the end of the movie, where they are also not clear'' Every BOTW movie

Monique Gabrielle is becoming the female version of cameron Mitchell. All we need is a drunk version of her acting

Rich Evans being slowly being consumed by the webs was nice touch.

It ain't a real Halloween episode without Mike's classic "I'm Just Here For The Boos" t-shirt.

"Light rape" has to be the best line in the history of BotW

There comes a moment in every man’s life when he realizes he has been watching RLM for over a decade. Thanks guys, stay cool

I find it really wholesome at 50:10 how Mike feels like he has to clarify that he didn't mean to insult Rich, especially how often he is the butt of jokes. Also, that scene whn David Carradine hangs himself was so bizzare. Fate does have a sense of humor, it seems.

That David Carradine reveal was on par with the Twin Towers in Rem Lazarr

😂 “I’m too scared my brain won’t work!” I laughed so hard, I cried. These halloween specials are always amazing!! 🤣 Giggles, the Tickle Me Homophobe , this movie was so obviously written by ICP it’s crazy omg the last movie takes place in the city I live in 😂 yes we only have one street and only sell hot dogs sandwiches lol also also: there is a thing called a rapeseed, rapeseed oil is in peanut butter. I’m a graphic designer for a popcorn company and I’ve personally read “rapeseed oil” more times than I can count 😂 I think about how weird it is EVERY time I spellcheck labels

I just wanna share the exact quote about the reception to Demons At The Door from it's Wiki page. "The film received universal acclaim from audiences and critics alike. It was praised for its action sequences, witty humor, complex characters, soundtrack, and story." ......Did it now?

Rich Evans can't say simple English words, but lets out _Schadenfreude_ effortlessly

30:00 I love this scene so much because the way the music cuts and the shot changes, it's an excellent "fantasy, reality" joke like, "aww shit, the demon attacked and he's fighting back, everything's intense and cool and scary" and then you get to see what it really is, some guy flailing around with a rubber worm on his arm, smashing into shit
