The Last Person You Hooked Up With Dies, Short Film Review by Case Wright


The youtuber didn’t have a title card; so, I made a scary ghost. I hope that it didn’t scare you too much! This is a parody of “It Follows”, the horror movie based on an STD that follows the next person and kills them. I always liked “It Follows” because if you were a child of the 90s, AIDS always the big warning that if you had sex, you would die. I would always ask; “why can’t I just use a condom?” and the response was always the same- “You’d risk your life for sex?” and me being me, I would respond with – “I thought that I already established that?” and they would pearl clutch.

In this short, the protagonist is a virgin who no one wants; so, he befriends the “It Follows” puritanical evil spirit and does ride-alongs with it as it explodes its victims. I thought it was fairly funny. There were some actual stars in the films and it appeared to have an actual budget, which gave me some nepobaby vibes. The films were ok, but I couldn’t understand how the budget would be this big, but then I saw that the channel has 1 million subscribers and 1 million views even for this short; so, I guess people have low standards.

I mean, it’s not horrible- just aggressively mediocre. If you’re a wonder bread as a burger bun kind of guy, this is for you.

Music Video of The Day: The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg by Iron Maiden (2006, directed by ????)


When Iron Maiden released this song, they knew that their fans would try to find out who Benjamin Breeg was so they created a website about Breeg.  According to the site, Breeg was a painter of disturbing images who later found work in a cemetery and then as a paranormal investigator.  He disappeared in 1978.  Of course, this was all fictional.  There was no Benjamin Breeg.  The “Breeg” painting that was displayed on the site was actually a painting of Eddie, the band’s mascot.

The video features footage of Iron Maiden performing mixed in with a montage of early band pictures.

Enjoy!

Horror on TV: Fear Itself 1.11 “The Spirit Box” (dir by Rob Schmidt)


In this episode of Fear Itself, a dead teenage girl wants her friends to help her get vengeance on her murderer.  This episode may be called “The Spirit Box” but it’s better known as “The One With Anna Kendrick.”

This episode was meant to air in 2008 but Fear Itself went on hiatus and was cancelled before it happened.  The Spirit Box was later included when Fear Itself was released on DVD.

Great Moments In Television History #44: Nightmare At 20,000 Feet


It was 63 years ago today that America watched as William Shatner played a nervous man on an airplane who looked out the window and saw something on the wing!

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet was the fifth episode of the fifth season of The Twilight Zone.  Written by Richard Matheson and directed by Richard Donner, it starred William Shatner as Robert Wilson, a man who had just been released from sanitarium and who was taking a flight with his wife (Christine White).  When he spotted a gremlin (Nick Cravat) on the wing, he couldn’t get anyone to believe him until, finally, he was forced to take an extreme action to save all of the other passengers.  I remember the first time I saw this, as a kid, I was actually relieved when Rod Serling told me that, even though everyone on the plane thought Robert was crazy, they would eventually find evidence that there had been a gremlin.  That’s how good a job Matheson, Donner, and Shatner did with this show.  If Robert hadn’t been exonerated, viewers would never have never recovered.

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet was one of television’s best scary programs and it aired 63 years ago tonight, on October 11th, 1963.

Leprechaun 3 (1995, directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith)


This time, the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is in Las Vegas! At the start of the movie, he’s been turned into a statue but that doesn’t last long. This time, his lucky coin is found by a college student named Scott (John Gatins) who has stupidly gambled away all of his tuition money. What I always wonder with these films is why the Leprechaun is so careless with his coins. They’re the only thing that he really cares about but he’s always dropping one and leaving it behind. Scott and Tammy (Lee Armstrong), herself a recent Vegas arrival, are pursued not just by the Leprechaun but also by a host of other greedy humans who all have wishes of their own to make. It’s Vegas and everyone has a game going.

Yesterday, I stated that Leprechaun 2 was the best of the Leprechaun films but Leprechaun 3 is a close runner-up. Leprechaun 3 has the strongest sense of humor of the series and some of the best and most creative kills. Scott starts to turn into a leprechaun himself, complete with a craving for potatoes, which adds something new to the proceedings. Leprechaun 3 may not have as good a lead as Jennifer Aniston and Shevonne Durkin but it does have the great Caroline Williams as a casino employee who makes the mistake of wishing for a younger, more voluptuous figure. Thanks to Warwick Davis and director Brian Trenchard-Smith, this Leprechaun film is mean, humorous, and more fun than it probably should be.
