I caught 3 rats last night. Thought I was done after the first, then I felt something small crawling on top of my blanket. Didn't sleep much last night. That closet monster shit would have me up for days
Ironically i found a huge ass creepy centipede on my bed last night...it managed to get away and crawl under my bed... i didn't fall asleep til sun rise trying to find it and spray it...i only slept for about 2hr because i kept waking up thinking it was on my bed :(
Late last week one night, @@romeyromel, I found a big effin' black snake in my room. I did not bother to turn on my ceiling fan light (the only light source in my bedroom) because I have a bunch of plastic bags filled with cans of ravioli and other canned foods near the head of my bed. I had my box fan blowing on me that night. Fairly often with how I have my box fan angled to blow on me at night there will be some breezes hitting many of the plastic bags. This make it sound as though there is something there when there really is just some wind blowing around there. I wound up waking up to the sound of something being there, but discounted it to be just the wind from my box fan blowing on me. Mostly did this because I just woke up and I was dead tired trying to get back to sleep. It was not until I heard a somewhat loud sliding sound from those bags to my Gatorade promotional stand that I use for my rear computer speakers and a bunch of other stuff too. I practically leaped up thinking someone is trying to break into my room. I bolted to my light switch then turned it on. I saw the last foot length of a large black snake slithering between a bunch of food products I have on that side of my Gatorade stand. I briefly panicked fearing it was a venomous snake. I could not find it after a while. I had to go back to bed fearing it was going to try to snuggle up with me for warmth that night. I have actually been up to worried nightly since that effed up night that black snake will return.
GREAT review and really nice to see an actual "good" film in Mark's "weird" collection, one of the most beloved of 80's horror movies, especially if you saw it when it came out. Btw, the sexy blonde neighbor is Mary Stävin, a Swedish model who was Miss World 1977 and appeared in the last two Roger Moore James Bond movies, "Octopussy" and "A View to a Kill". Fun fact: as a huge William Katt fan from back in the day, one of my most prized possessions is an autographed photo of him and Sissy Spacek right before the climactic scene in "Carrie", where he added my name followed by: "let's go to prom!", hahaha. ;)
I miss those old hand drawn movie posters. The cover art of some movies really stood out when you visited a video store. Nowadays movie posters are photoshopped crap.
@@julioagua Yeah, the cover art was often a lot better than the actual movie. Its purpose was to seduce you into renting the movie. That's why it was so colorful and spectacular, so that your eyes would be immediately drawn to it. Ah, I miss the good old VHS days.
My dad was a landlord one time. A tenet said that her neighbor had their shower going for 24 hours. So my dad went in the room heard the shower and saw the woman in her chair dead. So yea I understand you worried about doing Uber eats Mark.
Yo what up Mark, I saw this movie when I was a little kid, I can't believe how weird this movie is after all these years. I thought it was a masterpiece when I was a kid 😂
In my head cannon. Roger is really Tommy Ross from Carrie, and instead of dying from a bucket to the head, he got amnesia and thinks he's a Vietnam vet
Despite its goofy moments, this movie is competently made and those monster effects and the set design were fucking amazing. There is nothing amateurish about it.
Only some years ago I accidentally stumbled on it... Already cynical, sad, 30-something... And it took me as a complete surprise. It has that Stephen King vibe to it. Like King on drugs, but in a good way, not Maximum Overdrive. Oh, some Poltergeist too.
This movie was meant to be a horror/comedy, obviously. It was one of the better movies to come out of the '90s and is rather popular among B-movie fans.
Mark, I don’t know how you do it, but you always manage to find the most unusual movies and find a way to make them infinitely more entertaining than they would be on their own. You’re a treasure.
Are we not gonna talk about the fact that he threw a microwave dinner still in the box into the microwave, and then set the timer for 30 minutes!? I mean……COME ON!! Lol
Old microwaves are weird to me. I have an old amana radarange from the 70s that will reheat spaghetti in a steel pot with a fork in it(don't ask how I found this out) no sparks, hot spaghetti in 1:45. I have no idea how that works.
In an alternate time line sweaters continued to lower their V necks until they reached the belly button. At that point the manufacturers were convinced they'd gone too far.
It appears that the production ordered the wardrobe from International Male, an 80s men's mail order fashion catolog. The underwear section was basically soft core gay porn.
Considering Luke Skywalker (minus the sequel trilogy) is my favorite fictional character of all-time, yeah, that is a fun fact. Seeing him in his prime in Mando was amazing.
I have found out a long time ago, @@Eemi_Seppala, there is no point to give a darn about your appearance unless if you are desperately trying to impress one or more people whose opinion(s) of you you somehow prize above all else. If people can not accept you for who you are initially without trying to win over others via first impressions then they are most definitely not people you want in your life. I am not saying nor meaning you should be the biggest slob possible complete with no personal hygiene whatsoever. I just mean be yourself as often as you reasonably can muster.
If you had to pay per letter when trademarking, the masterpiece that is “Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood” would have been no more than a what if. Lol
One of those pizza photos the pizza was not even cut. When I order a pizza from a pizza parlor or joint I *expect* the dang thing to be cut into appropriate slices! I do not want to have to tear apart the dang thing like how I enjoy tearing apart Totino Pizzas.
I heard a story once about a kid who did an oral report on a Goosebumps book he didnt even read. He got full marks and discovered his superpower of lying.
That is a true story. In elementary I definitely wrote a few book reports using goosebumps . Many kids did, in fact eventually teachers wouldnt allow them to be done as reportsml.
Always liked this one. A pretty comfortable haunted-house story with a good setup, great acting from the lead, mostly solid practical effects, and just enough creative self-awareness and humor to raise it a cut above most b-movies in the genre that take themselves too seriously or not seriously enough. House struck a balance, and while it doesn't quite excel in any particular way, it's competent and quirky and thoroughly enjoyable.
I was born in 1982 & the "House" movies were muh favorite. The monsters pulling the kid up through the chimney made me scared of the chimney in my childhood home. Ahh... Memories. Definitely gotta do "House II" & 3!!
The first time I saw George Wendt, I yelled "NORM"!! You hit the nail on the head about the special effects. Especially when you consider that this movie was made in 1986.
I can't believe I haven't seen a single comment about his chic sweater in the beginning of the movie, when he first moves into, HOUSE. I can't look at something that low cut without imagining the woman that is supposed to be wearing it...
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that Big Ben Is played by Richard Moll, best known as Bull from Night Court and Two-Face on Batman: The Animated Series. He was nominated for a Saturn award for this movie.
Second time watching this episode randomly, even though I've already watched it before it felt like I didn't because it entertained me so much. Congrats Mark, with all due respect to cinemassacre, nostalgia critic and all the others, this is definetelly the best movie reviews channel on YT and it deserves a LOT more love
William Katt was one of my favorite actors growing up, like many in my generation. And Bull Shannon (Richard Moll) is great as Big Ben. Great movie with tons of nostalgia... That VHS cover was iconic and every kid my age HAD to watch House if they wanted to say they liked Scary Movies. Awesome, Mark!
I used to watch this film a lot as a kid. The effects are very good and it is a genuinely creepy movie in parts. I also loved the use of anachronistic pop music the movie would play to contrast the dark comedic bits. Great video Mark! Also I'd be all over that shit if the owner of the take out food died.
I am a Postmates driver, multiple times I've delivered food and no one answered the door, I have eaten the food a few times, but I once gave a whole bucket of chicken and sides to a homeless guy. I kept the biscuits
@@wallyman292 growing up and n Maine I always said ant but some times aunt kinda depending on there name. When I was 9 we moved to CO always heard aunt also like stated by another comment the spiderman cartoon got me to saying aunt more often.
Glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for something like this to watch. You remind me a little of Ryan from pitch meetings, your sense of humor is just *chefs kiss*🤌 thanks for being on here man
This is one of the 5 movies I had on the VHS (Notable others: Karate Kid II, Willow) back in the day. I must have watched it like 478 times... It's not a worst way to waste your life. It's not a bad movie.
There are far too many people on RU-vid that try really hard to be funny....and fail miserably. You sir are genuinely funny! Thanks for some great videos!
I love how the guy delivering groceries at the beginning of the film actually walks into the room and only spots the hanging body after a few seconds. It's literally in front of him, but he doesn't see it at first.
Maybe when the pool lady asked him to be the babysitter it is one of the few decisions in this movie which actually make sense. Maybe she realized that he was the perfect opportunity to get rid of her child when she saw him burying suspicious looking plastic bags in the backyard - that's the only logical explanation for her decision to leave her child alone with this guy. The joke would be that her plan almost worked out when the monsters pulled the boy up the chimney. Imagine how disappointed she must have felt when she got the little brat back - that's why she never showed up again: He had one mission and he failed.
If a paperback book is read enough times, it falls apart. If you really love a book, the individual copy you own can have a lot of sentimental value, even if it's falling apart.
Awww, I remember this movie. They used to show it on Saturday/Sunday afternoons in german TV when I was a kid. Watched it at least three or four times.
Great video Mark! Love this movie with all of my heart. Was just a lil one when this came out lol......man time, flies. Love your series/Videos ! Keep em coming bro!
I saw this movie when I was a kid, when it came out in the cinema. I remember that I thought it was one of the best movies and it was one of the ones that made me love the horror genre. Now that I see the review I realize that it was a very crazy movie with little sense hehe. Long live the 80's
for YEARS i've had memories of a horror movie i watched on tv as a kid. remember bits and pieces but not much else. FINALLY thanks to your video. i looked up the sequels and it was House II. mystery solved!
"Ghost of missing son, off.". Mark realizing what he said and looking confused saying, "Wait what?". Immediately moving on and not giving us closure. Mark, I may just be really stoned but your channel is the greatest thing next to being stoned and watching Stone Quakers on Hulu, Mr. Bean reruns and binge watching 1960's Japanese Godzilla movies when I didnt even know Japanese but it's cool because I'm slowly eating chips while my cat and I laugh and talk about life.
But if you live a lonely life and don't want your body decomposing for weeks/years until someone finds you, what else are you supposed to do but order some delivery?
Oh Mark your impression of R.L. Stein thinking up Goosebumps stories is so funny. I loved those books too. I actually still have a hardcover compendium here in my room that o saved from the trash a few months back. It’s a lovely sky blue colour with yellow and then a skeleton sitting up in bed reading a book.. lol they’re so cheesy but the best when you’re a kid.
Well then I hope you never end up in any Indian social/ family event cuz every female distant relative is "aunty" and yes someone will call you aunty too at some point 😂
I love this film, as it's part of my childhood! I specially love when after that ghoul is killed by the garden-tools, we listen to Betty Everett's "You're no good"
Just got done watching Killer workout :) already watched the Room, Manos the hands of fate and Miami connection i got to say I'm getting addicted to these bad movies Mark I blame you thanks for the socks asshole I mean thanks for the awesome movie reviews 😀 very entertaining
Honestly Mark every episode you put put is just better and better. Ive been a fan for a long time now at least 5 or 6 years now and I gotta say since the switch to WMWM you've been on serious fire. I know it sounds cliche and sappy but things have been real tough the last 2 years for me and your videos have truly helped me out during some dark times. Keep up the awesome work, I appreciate you.
Love how Mark highlights the important issue of what happens if a delivery drivers customer kills themselves before delivery. Always hard hitting questions, cutting through the BS lol don't ever change
