Poltergeist marked Hollywood's big-budget engagement with the ghost film in 1982. Produced by Stephen Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper, it took the haunted house film and mashed it together with the family adventure film. Throw in some special effects courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic, and you end up with the film that relocated haunted houses to the suburbs. The film obliquely references the settlement of land in California and a failure to acknowledge earlier inhabitants of that land. It also explicitly engages with the growing consumer boom of the 1980s, using technology - here in the form of the TV set - as a means to communicate with the other side. It's a film worthy of study for various reasons. But one of the talking heads in the special feature on the 25th anniversary edition of the film exclaims that everything in the film 'really happened'. Does the depicted activity bear any relation to historically recorded cases of poltergeist activity? Where does the film draw on this record? What are these earlier cases? Let's find out!

Cultists, continuing with the Sinners theme. Another one of the film's often cited influences was Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Adapted as a two part TV movie by Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror throwback scarred the Gen X kids that grew up with it on television, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires the Nosferatu-esque Kurt Barlow.

On this episode of Parallax Views, J.G. Michael is joined by writer and self-described film analyst Albert Lanier to discuss his work on the blog The Final Cut and his Retro Reviews website. We kick things off by exploring why Albert prefers the term “film analyst” over “movie reviewer,” delving into what it means to engage deeply with cinema rather than simply judge it. From there, we dive into his thoughtful takes on: Psycho II, the surprising and often overlooked sequel to Hitchcock's classic, and how it rethinks Norman Bates for a new era. Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, a wild blend of sci-fi, horror, and eroticism that could only have come out of the 80s. The heyday of raunchy 80s comedies, what they reflected about the culture at the time, and why they endure (or don't). Split Image, a lesser-known thriller about cults that holds up as both a tense drama and a cultural artifact of its period. It's a conversation that ranges from cult cinema (and movies about cults) to the philosophy of film criticism, nostalgia, and why some forgotten gems deserve a second look.

It's Halloween in July! Pete has once again allowed Martha free reign to talk about her nonsense, so we're doing a horror episode. Homework discussed: House on Haunted Hill (1959, dir.

Spring break came a little late this year but don't worry, the message stays the same - STAY OUT OF THE DAMN WATER! We're pontooning like it's the millennium with Tobe Hooper's 2000-era romp CROCODILE. No matter what your drunk frat boy pals or the floozy with striped hair tells you, it is decidedly not safe to party in the swamp and bust open all of those mysterious reptile eggs you found. And don't even think about stowing one away in your girlfriend's backpack - she'll have to carry it around like a fool while being chased by an angry lizard. Don't drink and boat or you'll get chomped in half this week on Horror Movie Night! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Who will survive and what will be left of them?! This week, Peaches and Michael are out enjoying the summer sun in celebration of 1974's THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE! In addition to discussing how this groundbreaking cult classic changed the face of horror forever, our hosts delve into Tobe Hooper's longstanding assertation that he made the film as a comedy. Joining the conversation is genre icon David Dastmalchian, who speaks to this harrowing vision's lasting resonance and how it continues to inspire him. Then, DINNER WITH LEATHERFACE filmmaker Michael Kallio stops by to share how his friendship with one of cinema's most legendary monsters encouraged him to create a tribute as warmly baked as a Texas afternoon. From meat hooks to John Larroquette's narration, this episode has it all! Go!

Einleitend besprechen wir Torstens Figur des Jahres (bisher) und auch noch einige andere Ankündigungen. Olli hat sich einen Spielberg-Klassiker gegönnt, der NICHT der weiße Hai ist, denn dieser Film wurde ja eigentlich von Tobe Hooper inszeniert. Und das Steam Deck wird neben der Switch 2 auch mal wieder thematisiert. #popkultur #actionfiguren #movies #tvserien #vinyl #games #comics #retro

A mi gusto, es uno de los relatos más interesantes y extraños que King escribió antes de alcanzar la fama mundial con #Carrie.Trata de una máquina de doblar ropa de una lavandería que,curiosamente parece haber cobrado vida y está matando a la gente que trabaja ahí. El relato, a pesar de su temática tan rara, fue adaptado como película en 1995 por Tobe Hooper (quien anteriormente ya había hecho la versión televisivade "Salem's Lot"). Esta adaptación, a pesar de contar con Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), no fue bien recibida por la crítica. ¿Ustedes la han visto?  Espero que sea de su agrado y lo disfruten mucho.  Colóquense unos audífonos o auriculares y disfruten de estahistoria de Stephen King.  Y aquí... las redes sociales oficiales de Historias deEspantos por Fernando Palacios: · Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/HistoriasDeEspantosxFP/ · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistoriasDeEspantosxFP    Estas son mis redes sociales: ·Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fer.mr.bones/ ·Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/fer.mr.bones/?_rdc=1&_rdr &https://www.facebook.com/FernandoPalaciosAKAMrBones ·Twitter: https://twitter.com/FerMrBones    También lo encuentras en Spotify y cualquier otro serviciode podcast. https://anchor.fm/fernando-palacios94https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/historias-de-espantos/id1554046415

The film writer Meg Shields returns to the podcast from Vancouver for a show to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Tobe Hooper's schlock sci-fi horror masterpiece, Lifeforce.Cannon Films' big swing for the fences, Lifeforce had an astronomical budget for the time, with huge practical sets, hundreds of extras and innovative special effects from the great John Dykstra including massive miniature work and cutting-edge optical effects, all in the service of a bonkers tribute to Hammer horror. The runaway production was a cocaine-and-Dr Pepper-fueled vision of naked space vampires hiding in Halley's Comet (led by the beautiful Mathilda May) who arrive on Earth and unleash havoc on the city of London.We discuss 1955's The Quatermass Xperiment and 1967's Quatermass and The Pit, huge influences on John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, before diving into the madness of Lifeforce, rejected by audiences in 1985 and setting off the eventual collapse of Cannon Films. We also compare the two cuts of the movie (as the American distributor Tri-Star changed the title from Space Vampires and shortened their version by 10 minutes against the director's will) and how this crazy movie has stood the test of time to become a cult favourite.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1979 was an okay year for horror movies. But that top 7 is so strong it's unreal.

Episode 324: “Poltergeist” (1982): Movie Review This week, Chris and Derek go back to 1982 to watch and review the Tobe Hooper directed film “Poltergeist” starring Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams. The guys discuss the box office, behind-the-scenes trivia, the cast, practical effects and more. For the “Fun with Caveman” segment of the show, Derek quizzes Chris about the 1982 Academy Awards. You can... Read More

From the director (Tobe Hooper) of The Texas Chainsaw Massacare and the writer (Dan O'Bannon) of Alien comes this crazy sci-fi horror thriller about a potential alien invasion which occurs around London after a race of space vampires (yes you read that right) come calling via Haley's Comet and an Earth-bound spaceship.  This ambitious Cannon Pictures release was a notable flop when it was first released in June of 1985 but has since garned a cult following due to several crazy setpieces, ample female nudity (from one alien in particular played by Matilda May), and.....some very inventive visual effects thanks to contributions from the same F/X wizard (John Dykstra) who had worked on the original Star Wars just eight years prior.  Starring alongside May (in her on-screen debut) are Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, and Patrick Stewart! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

This week on Born to Watch, we dive into the horror landmark that changed the game: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Brutal, raw, and grimy in a way that still shocks today, this episode sees Whitey and Damo take on one of the most infamous cult classics ever made, with Morgz and Gow hilariously "noping out" after the first five minutes.Despite its terrifying reputation, the team quickly notes something surprising: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't about gore, it's about dread. Director Tobe Hooper weaponises your imagination with low-budget ingenuity, turning rural Texas into a sweat-drenched nightmare of implied violence, claustrophobia, and screaming madness.Whitey and Damo break down how the film uses its documentary-style visuals to make you feel like you're inside the nightmare. They discuss the iconic opening narration, the genius use of real animal sounds in place of a traditional soundtrack, and the deeply uncomfortable "dinner scene," which remains one of the most disturbing sequences ever filmed.The episode also explores the surprising lack of blood, the history of censorship surrounding the movie (which was banned for decades in the UK!), and why Leatherface, chainsaw-wielding, mask-wearing, and alarmingly agile, became an instant horror icon. There's serious appreciation for how Texas Chainsaw influenced Evil Dead, Seven, Pulp Fiction, and even the style of Star Wars' opening crawl.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without a few detours:Franklin and his endless whining take a brutal roasting, and deservedly so.Picking up hitchhikers is a bad move. Hitchhikers carrying photos of slaughtered cows—extra bad move."Don't go in the house, mate" becomes the ultimate horror PSA.Damo tells the all-time story of accidentally picking up hitchhikers while having "Northern Beaches Gay Board Riders" accidentally stuck to his car door.The cast of unknowns stayed unknown, most fading into cult obscurity. But the legacy of the film is undeniable, and the team argues that it might be the rawest and most authentic horror movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE:Why a minimal budget made Texas Chainsaw even scarier.The genius of Tobe Hooper's “no soundtrack” approach.How Sally Hardesty became the prototype for the Final Girl trope.That horrifying Grandpa scene and why it still messes us up.Whether Leatherface could qualify as CrossFit's most terrifying champion.It's loud, it's grimy, it's uncomfortable, and it's a horror masterclass that still hits like a hammer to the skull.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fixes!Join the conversation:Is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the most disturbing horror film ever made?

Nathan and Ryan take a deep dive into Tobe Hooper's 1986 remake of Invaders from Mars! This ‘80s reimagining of the 1953 sci-fi classic brings eerie paranoia, practical creature effects, and that distinct Hooper weirdness. Is it an overlooked gem or a misfire from the golden age of practical effects? Tune in as the Drive-In Double Feature duo dissects the Martian mayhem, creepy teacher transformations, and nostalgic ‘80s charm of this cult flick.

It should have been so simple. In fact, the hook is just two words: space vampires. That's it! And yet what resulted is a roiling boil of Dracula tropes, sweaty performances, extended nudity, and some of the best shriveled puppets you'll ever see! That's right, we're zapping the energy out of 1985's LIFEFORCE with the help of actor and stand-up, Matthew Broussard (watch his new comedy special, Hyperbolic here!!). Along the way, we learn all Tobe Hooper's magic touch, how the producers of Cannon Films nearly tore the film apart, why Steve Railsback is playing so many different Bram Stoker roles in one movie, and Matthew schools us on physics!! All this, plus fallopian flashbacks, biscuit bribes, physician prescribed swords, helicopter blood conferences, male ass technology, Patrick Stewart bald pate worship, and a cosmically insane edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

Episode 194: This week we are haunted by guest Rob of The Cinemigos podcast, to cover 1982's classic horror film Poltergeist. They're here......Make sure to check us out next week for our coverage of the 1967 thriller, Wait Until Dark.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-cut-above-horror-review--6354278/support.

Single White Female from 1992 is an interesting movie. It seemed to be a big deal at the time, but neither of us remember anything about it. The rumors of Jenna Ortega starring in a remake are certainly interesting, however. The Saw franchise brings back a lot of pleasant memories. Sure, the vast majority of them are tied to the first, but the same can be said about most long running movie series. Naturally, we have opinions about the cancellation of Saw XI and its future.Though we do not have the opportunity to cover them as much as we would like to, we enjoy short films. In this episode we get to talk about three shorts from the Boston Underground Festival. A gory anthology, the truth about banjo strings, and a really cool stop motion flick all caught our attention.Another movie from BUFF that interested us was Chain Reactions. That it was about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was cool enough. Chainsaw is one of the most important horror movies of all time and has a special place in our childhoods. That Stephen King is also prominently featured made it impossible for us to ignore.Alexandre O. Phillipe is a great filmmaker who has made tremendous documentaries about David Lynch, Alien, and The Exorcist. His signature style is on full display here as Chain Reactions is a perfect mix of nostalgia, theory, and opinion on Tobe Hooper's classic. It is a must watch.It has literally been years since we have reviewed a documentary about a cult. So, we were very excited to watch AUM: The Cult at the End of the World. We knew it would be interesting, but we had no idea what to expect. One of us was so dumbfounded by what they saw that they could only use one word to describe it.Aum is unlike any other cult. (Somehow, it is still in existence - kinda.) At its peak, it could legitimately claim worldwide membership that was in the tens of thousands. The existed in full view of the public, Worst of all, they had a relationship with the media that can only be described as friendly. It is a truly wild documentary.

If you weren't afraid of industrial laundry machines, well guess again sucker! Tobe Hooper was brave enough to film a screen adaptation of one of Stephen King's earliest short stories and 30 years later, we're talking about THE MANGLER (1995). Obviously, some liberties were taken in the storytelling aspect here to pad it out into a feature-length film, but the basic tale is more or less intact: possessed laundry machine likes the taste of people and eventually becomes sentient and chases the detective main character around town. The premise is wacky and Hooper really got into the scrubbing here, so our discussion has time to… air dry, if you will… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This level of the podcast is a wayback brought to you by grief and the realization that this level wasn't available on the spotify collection of the podcast. Words don't do it for this experience of losing a kiddo. Grief unfortunately isn't a team sport but I take great comfort in having these episodes both for myself and to share. Let's activate the wayback and head to September 17, 2017 back when life was happier and the podcast was much much younger. Hey howdy hey friends. Wookiee back with another guest joining me for an episode about life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. I'm so stoked my oldest kiddo joined me to talk all about the 2017 movie IT. We went to see it and had to get some of our thoughts out to the interweb. Most of the podcast is all about the movie in a general overview sort of way. We tried hard to avoid spoilers but just in case, here's your warning there might be something given away if you haven't seen IT. Overall, we stayed on task with only a little digression about other things like politics. Hard to avoid that when you're talking with a politically woke human being like my oldest little wookiee.If you ever wondered what I look like watching scary movies… this is your show. This is an honest review of the newest Stephen King adaptation plus some digression into the novel, the miniseries from the 80s, coulrophobia, a-holes in Pennsylvania, other creepy clown movies (Stitches/Dead Clowns/Killer Clowns From Outer Space), actors the Losers would like to play their adult selves, Happy Death Day, an RIP for Tobe Hooper, Poltergeist, circuses, hybrid animals, American Horror Story Cult, and Stephen King tweets. So much fun having a conversation with one of my offspring and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. Congrats on completing another wayback level of the podcast! Despite the sadness, I'm so happy I have a conversation like this saved. Think positive, test negative, stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, and good luck out there.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3's star final girl, Lauren LaVera, has a new fright flick, The Fetus, coming out on March 7th that'll combine comedy and body horror! And it'll also feature horror icon Bill Moseley, know for his roles as the brutal killer Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects and the demented Choptop in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, in a deliciously macabre role as a blind veteran with psychotic side. As you can probably surmise from the title, the movie will tackle pregnancy horror and creature feature thrills vis-à-vis a demonic baby. If you're a fan of 80s horrors like John Carpenter's The Thing or Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be glad to know that the movie relies heavily on practical creature effects. It also promises to be a timely fright flick in light of the debates the rage on in American culture over abortion. Joining us to discuss the movie is the film's director, Joe Lam. We'll talk about the experience of working with Lauren LaVera and Bill Moseley, the long process of writing the movie, the influence of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane on Joe, the film's use of practical effects and the award-winning work of Alex Rojas on the creature effects, the decision to release The Fetus unrated and increasing obsolescence of the MPAA ratings system in the age of streaming, thoughts on Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he made a call for defending independent film and movie theaters in an age where both are under threat, balancing comedy/humor and horror, the importance of story and character development in Joe Lam's approach to horror, and much, much more!

This week we're kicking off a new franchise with the 80s paranormal classic POLTERGEIST. This blockbuster was produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper (or was it? We get into it.)

On this episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, we're joined by journalist and horror scholar David Katznelson. Known for his meticulous exploration of the horror genre's history, David shares details behind a fascinating project where he watches and analyzes every horror movie from the 1970's. His most recent focus has been 1974—a pivotal and hauntingly transitional year in horror.From Texas Chainsaw Massacre to forgotten gems like Help Me, I'm Possessed, David's work breaks down the evolution of horror, how societal chaos like the Vietnam War shaped the genre, and what makes 1974 a landmark year for the genre. We also discuss his upcoming book on 70s horror and the enduring impact of directors like Tobe Hooper. Whether you're a die-hard horror fan or a filmmaker looking for historical inspiration, this episode is a treasure trove of insights into horror's rich legacy.Show NotesMovies DiscussedTexas Chainsaw MassacreHelp Me, I'm PossessedIt's AliveDerangedBlack ChristmasFlesh for FrankensteinBlood for DraculaLegend of the Seven Golden VampiresCannibal HolocaustThe Friday the 13th franchiseThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise (including Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and Texas Chainsaw 3D)Exorcist-inspired films (The Sexorcist, Legacy of Satan)70s exploitation films (Vampyros Lesbos, Blood Splattered Bride)Mother of Tears (2007)Dark Glasses (2022)Longlegs (2024)The Substance (2024)Strange Darling (2024)Evil Dead Rise (2023)Heretic (2024)Terrifier 3 (Upcoming)Barbarian (2022)Renfield (2023)Jason X (2001)The Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985)Cannibal Holocaust (1980)Directors & Filmmakers ReferencedTobe HooperAndy WarholPaul MorrisseyHerschell Gordon LewisDario ArgentoBooks & ProjectsDavid's upcoming book on 70s horrorThe Dybbuk (classic Judaic horror)Music ReferencedThe MisfitsBauhaus The DamnedJapanese noise musicPlatforms & NewslettersDavid Katznelson's Substack: The Signal from David KatznelsonFollow David Katznelson at:IMBd: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10775975/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oakiedog/X (Twitter): https://x.com/oakiedogSubstack: https://oakiedog.substack.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-katznelson-3a1601/

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views, it's Valentine's Day Parallax Views special! And to celebrate the J.G. decided to dig up an interview that was previously unreleased related to holiday. In 1981, George Mihalka's Canadian slasher My Bloody Valentine hit theaters. In the years since it has become a cult classic, enough so, in fact, to get a Hollywood remake in 2009 directed by Wes Craven protege Patrick Lussier & starring heartthrob Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural. The original movie, in which a town known as Valentine Bluffs experiences a series of murders seemingly committed by a vengeful, deranged miner known as Harry Warden, has never received a proper sequel. Fans of the movie, however, came together to get a professionally done, feature-length fan sequel. It's called Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film and even features a guest starring performance from Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as the Mayor of Valentine Bluffs. It features all the bloody mayhem one would expect from a sequel to My Bloody Valentine, and, best of all for fans of 80s horror, features lovingly made practical effects rather than CGI. In this previously unreleased interview, I speak with director and special effects artist Tom Smith and lead actress Rachel Keefe about Valentine Bluffs: A My Bloody Valentine Fan Film in-depth! You can view the fan film for free on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIIOv49awUU. Near the end of the conversation Rachel talks about her upcoming role in Joe Lam's horror movie The Fetus. As it turns out, The Fetus is set to be released next month, March 2025, and, in addition to Rachel Keefe, stars Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3's Lauren LaVera as well as genre stalwart Bill Moseley from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!
