I can see that. I wouldn't call it an outright parody myself, but it's definitely knowingly playing with the genre tropes and mining humour from them.

Haha same, I only found it relatively recently, and only because Universal lumped it onto the Wolfman bluray set!

The permanently shifty aunt!

Ah, of course.

That's probably for the best!

Indeed, and a shout-out to his performance in Longlegs, one of the most memorable roles of recent times!

All the music used in the videos are my own creations - just little unnamed tracks to throw behind the visuals for atmosphere!

@@HauntedBlowfish you should release it! I'm a producer and i think you're doing a great job! This background track made me feel stuff😉

@@Unhxlydk I assure you they sound a lot worse when isolated away from the narration and what not, but thank you!

@@HauntedBlowfish sure bud ;)

Thanks! I hadn't heard of the 1976 film but looks interesting, adding to my watchlist! And I never delved into the Acquanetta stuff as I thought it was all more adventure/Tarzan style... but I probably should give them a chance!

@@HauntedBlowfish 1940s horror has a thing about apes and mad scientists, and humans turning into apes lol

But sadly a bit wasted in this role!

He does indeed, it's a great look!

That's interesting - very glad they didn't go that route with Larry though! The crossovers of the 40s may have never occurred.

I think expectations were half of my issues with the film, true, especially because it was included in their Wolfman boxset when it probably shouldn't be.

It's a promotional image for the 1990 TV show that was also titled She-Wolf of London. It is... one way to advertise your show I guess!

Thank you Fletch! :)

Indeed, this was still quite early in her career

I could even forgive not being given an actual werewolf if the mystery/story had some intrigue to it. As you say, it's very predictable, which just makes it a disappointing watch.

@HauntedBlowfish I totally agree!

Agreed, the stunt is good but just a little anticlimactic in context. A fitting end for a Renfield type, but not a Dracula, so to speak. True about Universal's films holding back a little, especially in that wartime/post-war era. Even their non-horrors, like the Sherlock films always ending with a clunky rousing monologues to put you at ease after all the mystery and villainy.

Haha can't be committing endless interdimensional torture without some fine quality speakers for ambiance

And suddenly my head was filled with the sound Awooooooo

A wild John Landis has appeared

@@benderbendingrodriguez420 Why not a London She-wolf in America? Jk 😋 😉 😁

Surely the era where creativity peaked! Still waiting on She-Hunchback of Notre She-Dame, mind you

Why?

Ha that's right

They must really like the red buses.

@@HauntedBlowfish lol

Haha apologies!

They can work, especially if the touching hand comes from a bullying/clowning character. But I guess like anything, it's how the trope is executed. Lazy versions of the trope where there's no reason the character should or would creep on the victim, that's what becomes old quickly when consuming so many of these films lol

Thank you!

That was the conclusion I came to as well. Unfortunately She-Wolf doesn't come close to that quality.

Indeed, if only Universal had managed to poach him over to their studio. Great things could have occurred!

Nosferatu In Venice is a sequel. Just an unofficial... and rather unnecessary sequel!

@HauntedBlowfish what the hell would it be about

@@NoahBehlmaier The video explains that. But it basically amounts to a lot of Klaus Kinski walking around looking sad and angry.

I really should have known better

I would love to, there are so many films/topics I want to cover. But the reality is quite the opposite for now; with a second child arriving imminently I need to take a bit of a break from the channel to focus on domestic life. And then I shall hopefully return with a vengeance!

dogovoreno!

Thanks for continuing to play along! Happy new year to you too

You absolutely made the right choice. It may legitimately be the worst film I've ever sat through!

Haven't you heard, every single film apparently needs to be a franchise these days!

Thank you! :)

Oh I swear if they snatch GDT's Frankenstein away from us now... at least Warner Bros and their trigger-happy Delete button are nowhere near most of these movies!

I do think the 2020s so far have been unexpectedly strong in terms of horror films, and if it can keep up some of that momentum, it will easily surpass the 90s - which as you say, yeah, not the best decade despite a handful of stone cold classics

Revenge is indeed a dish best served with elaborate razorblade hallways.

@HauntedBlowfish note to self: never EVER make haunted blowfish seriously angry

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often honestly

Since the 50s yeah, and thus greatly influential on many of our favourite horror filmmakers and writers who then grew up with them - it's no wonder they were able to amass such talent for the eventual TV show, they all already loved the stories!

@HauntedBlowfish Damn, it's been around since the 50s? Learned something new. Twice even!

Thank you! About a month to go... this is where the excitement and utter terror really combine hahaha

@HauntedBlowfish Aww. 🥰

She has good taste!

If nothing else, hopefully it will produce something a little different! And that is always welcome

@@HauntedBlowfish true

I won't forgive them until they give my beloved Killers of the Flower Moon a physical release

I don't love it as much as most seem to, but I will give it some credit. The concept is delightfully simple and there's wonderful little snippets peppered throughout (the really tall guy creeping through the doorway scared the crap outta me!)

I loved it ❤

Lol I used to feel that way by the time the original run ended... but if I'm honest I've come full circle on it all (and I even enjoyed Spiral well enough)

True, given how often Goosebumps has been recycled over the last 30 years

@@HauntedBlowfish FS is a good book series. Are there any you wish they would adapt?
