Can a vampire movie from 1979 still give you chills, or does it now just make you laugh? Join us on Screams & Streams as we dissect Toby Hooper's adaptation of Stephen King's "Salem's Lot." From the slow pacing and inconsistent accents to Mike's nostalgia-fueled disappointment, we leave no gravestone unturned. Chad vents about the film's tedious stretches, while Sam recounts her battle with its repetitive scenes, all agreeing that tighter editing and a better narrative flow were desperately needed.We also compare "Salem's Lot" to other iconic vampire flicks like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Bram Stoker's Dracula," picking apart common horror tropes and laughing at the unintentionally funny moments. The 1979 adaptation goes under the microscope, with surprising aggressiveness in character sexuality and Fred Willard's baffling wardrobe choices among the many points of critique. We breakdown the sound design, noting odd choices like incongruous wolf howls and overbearing music that muddles the film's tone.Finally, we delve into the behind-the-scenes insights of the miniseries, from George Romero's early involvement to innovative filming techniques that either triumphed or flopped. Whether it's the eerie floating child vampires or the iconic creepy house, some elements still resonate amidst the general disappointment. Our watchability ratings reflect a mix of letdown and appreciation for the film's few lasting contributions to the horror genre. Don't miss this episode full of laughs, critiques, and fond memories of what could have been. Head to www.screamsandstreams.com for more information related to our episode.
In the 1970's a small, low budget film by Toby Hooper called "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" terrorized audiences nationwide. Fans had a hard time determining if characters like Chop Top and Leatherface where real found footage of cold blooded killers in action. By the time Texas Chainsaw Massacre two reached audiences, Hooper added a sense of humor and production values that carried the tradition further. In late 1999, rumors of a theird Texas Chainsaw reached a frenzied fanbase, this time brought to you by the master's son, Tony Hooper. Despite rumors and a great deal of promotion for the film, "All American Massacre" never made it the big screen, or even to video stores. This week's guest, Edward Payson, retraces the story of this mysterious lost film in his fascinating documentary "All American Massacre: The Lost Texas Chainsaw Movie"! It's great story, peppered with hard rock guitar virtuosos, iconic horror actors and intrigue. What happened to this fully completed film that prevented it from making the box office?

In this episode I talk about the 1974 slasher film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" directed by Toby Hooper as well as the newest "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" which released on Netflix earlier this year.
Okay, so we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the female lead's body this week, but in our defense, this movie features about 40 minutes of full frontal nudity and we challenge anyone to not be stunned by the quality of it. It's the final film in our Cannon Canon retrospective, Toby Hooper's naked space vampire epic, LIFEFORCE (1985). Starting next week we plan on kicking off an entire month where we talk about dog movies, so we expect the discussion to become far less filthy. You can start looking forward to that wholesomeness now (unless one of the flicks distracts us with some bomb-ass dog titties, no guarantees).
This week our spooky trio discuss Toby Hooper's 1976 follow up to “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, the technicolor crocodile fever dream “Eaten Alive.” How does this stack up to his work before and after? What hallmarks of Tobe Hooper do we see in his follow up? Plus, good lord, this movie has a lot of great character actors...
