Was your high school prom an absolute nightmare? Carrie White can relate and then some! For the third week in our horror series, we dive into the film adaptation of Stephen King's spectacularly tragic tale, Carrie - which not only was King's first published novel, but also his first book to be adapted into a film! In this episode, Georgia and John discuss how Brian De Palma and George Lucas shared casting calls for Carrie and Star Wars, the split screen editing and cinematography choices, Pino Donaggio's haunting score, the richly deserved (and unheard of for a horror film) Oscar nominations for Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, the impressive car stunt by Dick Ziker, the interesting differences between the book and Lawrence D. Cohen's screenplay, Hitchcock comparisons, and the genesis of the jump scare. Stop on by and geek out with us, because if you miss this episode, they're all gonna laugh at you!
31 TDI (Día 11) - IT 31 Traumas de Infancia es el típico reto de ver una película diaria durante el mes de Octubre (31 Días, 31 Películas) y que como si no fuera ya suficientemente difícil completar este tipo de retos, se intentara subir un Audio (el mismo día) con el comentario de la película que se vio. Día 11 - Payasos: IT / Eso (miniserie de 1990) It (también conocida como Stephen King's It) es una miniserie del género de horror, estrenada en 1990 y basada en la novela homónima de Stephen King. Cuenta con la actuación de Tim Curry en el papel principal de Pennywise. La miniserie también es conocida con otros nombres, como Eso en México, como It en España, e It: El Payaso Asesino en Argentina. La historia gira en torno a un ser sobrenatural que tiene la capacidad de transformarse en los peores temores de su presa, lo que le permite explotar las fobias de sus víctimas. En su mayoría toma la forma humana de un payaso sádico y bromista llamado Pennywise. Los protagonistas son un grupo de niños marginados conocidos como "los perdedores" que descubren a Pennywise y juran destruirlo. La serie tiene lugar en dos períodos de tiempo diferentes, el primero cuando los perdedores se enfrentan por primera vez a Pennywise como niños en 1960 y el segundo cuando vuelven como adultos en 1990 para derrotarlo por segunda vez después del resurgimiento de la criatura. Originalmente el proyecto estaba planificado para emitirse como una serie de televisión de ocho episodios de una hora cada uno. Sin embargo, el canal ABC reclutó al escritor Lawrence D. Cohen para adaptar la novela King de 1.138 páginas. El guion de Cohen condensó la obra fuente en una película televisiva de dos partes y tres horas que retuvo los elementos centrales de la novela, aunque Cohen se vio obligado a abandonar numerosas subtramas en virtud de la duración de la novela y las restricciones de tiempo de la red.

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 1 Ghost Story (1981) Some supernatural revenge should be visited upon the filmmakers for this travesty of a film. We at VHS Rewind feel that Peter Straub's novel, Ghost Story, upon which this film is (shall we say, loosely) based, is one of the great horror novels of all time. It has the scope and heft of one of those bricks produced by Stephen King (Salem's Lot; It; The Tommyknockers; etc.) but is much more literate and creepy and atmospheric. VHS Rewind is only too happy to dedicate our latest episode discussing why this film is a damn shame, a missed opportunity of epic proportions, from top to bottom. The raping of Straub's novel is just the first (albeit the most egregious) of the movie's sins. Then there is the unforgivable error of casting Craig Wasson: why did people cast this utterly talentless individual? This is the man who would go on to single handedly destroy Brian DePalma's BODY DOUBLE (1984). An actor with less charisma (and, apparently, a smaller dick) would be very hard to find. We are VHS Rewind were relieved to discover Craig Wasson seems to have stopped getting work after 2006. Is it us or does Craig Wasson look like a bastard cross between Bill Maher and Robert Englund (with none of the talent of even Mr. Englund)? And what of the famed Chowder Society? For an old-timer like myself, it is great to see this quartet of octogenarians (the great John Houseman; the great Fred Astaire; Douglas Fairbanks Jr (I guess he was great, but who was he?); and Melvyn Douglas (I guess he was great, but who was he?) but neither the director (John Irvin) nor the screenwriter (Lawrence D. Cohen) do these actors any favors. VHS Rewind is also only too happy to expound (and at length) upon the virtues of the film's one shining star: actress Alice Krige, who plays the sexy-as-all-get-out vengeful ghost. This is meant as a compliment but Ms. Krige's copious nudity is surpassed by her acting here: she does portray an especially menacing supernatural entity. We hope you will join VHS Rewind for this seance where we wish evil retribution upon the filmmakers responsible for 1981's GHOST STORY.
