I had come into this when it had already started and I'm now watching it from the start. Great to hear Prevenge mentioned. Great movie. Never goes where you think it's gonna go.
Just to clear up an old misunderstanding, the theater seats for "The Tingler" weren't wired to give people an electrical jolt, but used a vibrating mechanism, something like the old hand buzzers.
Gremlins 2 is at the top of my list! That scene where the Brainiac gremlin calmly and casually shoots the Dumb gremlin in the face never fails to make me laugh! 👹😁
To be fair to the guys, the film was very misunderstood at the time and quite ahead of the game in being so happy to not just break but destroy the fourth wall. They all seemed very open to revisiting the film again!
Born in 1969, so grew up with a lot of Jim Henson influence ..ergo, my top pick "tiny terror" is the menacing _Crazy Harry_ from The Muppet Show! He was this crazed, wild-eyed, cackling loon who'd run about the theater - replete with one of those old school push-down handle explosive detonators - blowing shit up.
@@chrisalo2989 / hey buddy. I know you meet and talk to a lot of people , but me and you talked about your first selection / The PIT on Oct 1. 2022. Lol. Take care Chris. Your the best 👍💯
The original "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" (1973) with Kim Darby & Jim Hutton......back in its day, it was really creepy. Those little furry demons living in the chimney were only shown at the end. The suspense and tension built through the film was very well done. An excellent vintage made-for-TV movie. Way better than the 2010 remake.
Hell yeah 👍 The 2010 remake sucked. They were more of a pest control issue than something scary. In the original movie (and the remake) the creatures are shown throughout the movie however, not just at the end, and they don't live in the chimney but in a mysterious large space sealed behind a bricked up fireplace in the basement.
@@b.g.5869 I think you're right now that I think of it. Haven't seen it since 1973 when it came out on tv that year....50 years ago. So seems I got the "olds"!
@@garyh.238 It actually holds up very well. It's probably on RUclips (it certainly used to be). It still scares the hell out of me. The Zuni fetish doll story scared the shit out of me as a kid and I still think it's one of the all time best tiny terror stories but I have to admit that one time when I re-watched it as an adult I laughed hysterically at it running into the suitcase. That doll is _vicious_ for sure. I would probably have invested more time trying to find the thing that fell off it to try to make it inanimate again. Then I would call the anthropologist date that gave it to her and say "What were you thinking?" The Zuni fetish doll makes the goblins from DBAOTD look positively chill by comparison.
@@b.g.5869 It's definitely a classic. I have been looking for years in used shops for a copy of it. It's my holy grail of horror films. It marked me in 1973. Scariest movie I ever saw.
@@alexandercaviedes2559 I've seen both a million times; that's why I mentioned them. As far as tiny terror films go I don't think anything else comes close. I assume when you mention Dan Brown you meant Dan Curtis? He directed Trilogy Of Terror. One of the creepiest parts of DBAOTD is when they scare her in the shower. One of them is brandishing a razor and says he wants to hurt her, and the other says, "No, just scare her; tomorrow we'll get her". The little bastard literally wanted to slash her with a razor. Vicious. I think I mentioned this elsewhere but the three goblins were played by 'little people' (aka dwarves) and one of them, Tamara De Treaux, later played ET. She was in the ET costume for most of the scenes. In others they used practical effects and another dwarf actor, Pat Bilon, played ET in a few scenes where special movements were required that he was better suited for. Another one of the actors portraying one of the goblins, Felix Silla, later portrayed one of the Ewoks in Return Of The Jedi. DBAOTD was directed by John Newland, who hosted a Twilight Zone like series in the late 50s/early 60s called "One Step Beyond".
@@b.g.5869 You know your stuff. ET! I saw DBAOTD for the first time just a few years ago (along with Trilogy of Terror). I am an adult now, and I would have been a child when it came out, but it was still unnerved by it, now. Cheers!
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode some awesome deep picks a couple I didn't know of to watch. i think that 80's period was just the best for tiny terrors no awful cgi just great 80's practical effects.
@@manuelper That was actually supposed to have been a Twilight Zone episode, but CBS thought it was too brutal for television so they had them rewrite it as what became the episode "The Invaders" where the old woman living alone in a cabin in the woods (Agnes Moorhead of "Bewitched" fame) is terrorized by the decidedly _not_ scary spacemen that look like tiny windup robot toys (it turns out that the woman is actually on another planet and the tiny wind up toy robot looking things are actually human astronauts from Earth; one of the laziest and most disappointing Twilight Zone twist endings ever). The story is based on a short story by Richard Matheson called "Prey", which the Trilogy Of Terror version stays very faithful to. I would have loved the Twilight Zone version to have stuck to Matheson's original vision; it could have easily been the best Twilight Zone episode ever if done right. Fortunately we got to see it later as part of Trilogy Of Terror.
My top three are probably the original Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, the Zuni fetish doll segment of Trilogy Of Terror, and the Talky Tina episode of The Twilight Zone. Speaking of The Twilight Zone and tiny terrors, fans of The Twilight Zone and the Zuni fetish doll segment of Trilogy Of Terror might be interested in learning that the Zuni fetish doll segment of Trilogy Of Terror was supposed to be a Twilight Zone episode some ten plus years before. The network thought it was too brutal as originally written and therefore rewrote it as the Twilight Zone episode with the little robot looking spacemen terrorizing Agnes Moorhead ("The Invaders").
The puppet? I love creepy puppet stories (there were two creepy puppet Twilight Zone episodes) but "Magic" was actually a psychological thriller; the puppet isn't actually alive it's just a psychological projection of Hopkins' deeply disturbed character. It's not a bad film but a lot of people were disappointed with it because they were expecting a well crafted, well vast creepy puppet horror movie and it turns out that's not what it is.
I'm with Davy Gremlins 2 is great. You just have to understand it going in. It's not a Gremlins sequel, it's a spoof of sequilitis and turning all successful movies into franchises. And basically a resignation from the studio system. And poisoned the well so we're not suffering through the 3rd reboot of the Gremlins franchise right now.
To be fair I hated the movie the first time. Decades later a friend explained it and I rewatched it and the light went on. So I understand them. If you're expecting a Gremlins sequel it sucks. When you're expecting what it is it's brilliant. I think we need a follow up episode after they rewatch it.
Terrific post, and I agree with Joe as well. The expectations of a sequel are probably why the guys remember not liking it 30 years ago but may well be why they do appreciate it more now if they revisit it. Although meta humour always appeals to me so I May still like it more than they do.
The troll sucking the breath from Drew Barrymore is one of my top childhood haunts. That scene disturbed the hell out of me. Gremlins 2 was the first non PG film I saw in the theater and loved it! But I was also just proud to see a PG-13 movie at the time at 8 years old.
I like the movie and thought the medieval clothing on the troll was a creepy touch (how old was that thing supposed to be 🤔?) but the reptilian humanoid thing definitely decreased the creepy factor for me (reptilian looking things just aren't scary in the way, say, the fireplace goblins from DBAOTD are). That and the fact that the creature was killable. That's one of the things that ruined the 2010 cinematic remake of DBAOTD; not only did they look more like rats than creepy goblins, they could be squished to death by a little girl ffs. They should have made them look like the originals. With 2010 CGI they could have been even more creepy; instead they're more of a pest control problem than a seemingly invincible supernatural force.
Thanks everyone, the Monster’s Den is so good because of the great people on the panel and the perfect host. I’m never disappointed it’s always a joy and I have watched many episodes again and again, Bela Lugosi and Dracula ranking being two of my favourites but there are so many to enjoy. Cheers.
Being such a hammer horror freak, I still struggle with the ranking of the Dracula episode. Chris had a flight to catch and we had to be quick. But I love all of those films so much that even a five hour show? I would probably still think was too short!😂
@@DavysFlicks I know it was rushed and Dan always seems to be blamed for wasting time, but Because of my love for Hammer that episode is dear to me. Looking forward to ranking the rest of the Hammer vampire films and as you rightly said, there’s a few more then 5 or 6. Love the Monster’s Den and your presence is a definite bonus to the show. Cheers Davy.
Arachnophobia is a brilliant shout. Possibly the most frightening PG film of the 1990s. What you don’t see it’s absolutely terrifying. A perfect example of how to do Hollywood filmmaking but also oldschool chiller.
Funny that you should mention Critters 2! Mick Garrris is coming to my local horror film festival here in Norway in October, where he'll be presenting both Critters 2 and Riding the Bullet. I know I've seen some of the old Critters films, but it's so long ago I can't remember which ones. I watched 'Critters Attack!' from 2019 recently and it wasn't great, but also not dogshit. An okay way to kill 90 minutes. I'll also give a mention to the most recent Puppet Master film, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. I just really enjoyed it back when they showed it at the same above mentioned festival like 5 years ago. The main actress (Jenny Pellicer, she's actually Norwegian) presented and watched the film with the rest of the crowd. I remember wondering if she was feeling awkward watching herself naked on screen with a couple of hundred people. Most importantly though, the film was pretty damn good.
It wasn't an African witch doctor doll, it was a Zuni fetish doll. The Zuni were a North American indigenous tribe (also known as Pueblos). I never thought it looked like an American Indian either, but I don't think it looked African. I thought it looked more like a Papua New Guinean native than anything else.
@@AndyTeale-uy8mw Hey now. I'm a pretty big fan of film. I don't think I could have participated in the David Lynch and Alfred Hitchcock ranking shows if I wasn't.
Cats Eye as well as a bunch of anthologies are quite underrated nowadays! The Goblin, made this one special though! My Favorite three I am a Huge "Critters" fan! The first 2 are true classics! I actually really like the first Troll movie! Though it has been years since I have seen it. Barbara Billingsley, (June Cleaver), being in this is priceless, just like in AIRPLANE! I will not bother watching Troll 2 however, as it just looks stupid, despite the lore and reviews of how bad it is, and a film in name only. Tales From the Darkside TV series.. There was a creepy story about a deformed little monster living in the wall of a womans bedroom. I should research this more.. I remember that this episode gave me the creeps when I was younger.. Honorable mentions.. Twilight Zone "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" is an old staple.. But the Movie version, I thought was creepy.. The Gremlin was horrifying! Gremlins = What is there not to love about this movie.. I mentioned that I am a huge Critters fan! People accuse Critters as being a rip off at the time.. However Critters was being written before Gremlins! My last, which should be noted.. is XTRO.. What a WEIRD fucking movie. Very creepy! The alien could be anything that it wants to be. There is a scene where it posses a GI Joe type of doll, (Old Style), to kill a victim. Worth watching, if you are nat familiare with it! All right one more.. The weird baby in "Eraser-Head" Talk about a Weird as Fuck psychotic movie!! = WOW!
Dear Chaps, really, really good show. It hurts me to say this, but after all this time, I am starting to suspect that I may be the "anti Pete". First of all let's ignore Magma and Television "Marquee Moon”. Here are a few movie issues: “Critters 3” (1991) is by far my favorite of the Critters series (featuring Leonardo DiCaprio’s greatest performance) Tremors is probably my favorite (horror) movie series - even though I did not agree with the end of the final movie (what were they thinking). Charles Band's greatest movie (by a country mile) is "Trancers" (1985) I would just like to mention that I believe 4 of the Puppet Master movies were directed by (the great) David DeCoteau, who directed two of my favorite movies, “Creepozoids” (1987) and “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama” (1989) Great show chaps and Pete, my wife kindly overlooks my mistakes, so I feel that I can overlook (some) of yours. Keep up the good work.
I have a different take. A show without Chris on SOT is a good show, however an episode having King 👑 ALO is getting the 5️⃣ point extra credit question correct, for a 1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ on your examination 👍💯
Agreed and isn’t Pete the moderator anyway ugh! Don’t say we need to keep this moving and then apologize?? Nothing should have been said there. Keep up with the stories Dan! Just like everyone else does.
@@ChiefWiggum08151 Dan's takes tend to be my favorite. He provides great insight to an era that I wasn't around for. I'd rather hear what Dan has to say about his picks instead of Chris complaining about Dan taking an extra minute or two in a 90 minute video.

Well I think it's crazy for someone to call Gremlins 2 a piece of shit. I thought everyone loved it, honestly. Guess I was wrong lol.
Well, I was more than happy to defend Gremlins 2! Totally fantastic film in my book, number one with a bullet.

I’m surprised no one mentioned The Gate.
Pete held up his Blu Ray towards the end
Phase IV is a really interesting and strange sci-fi thriller from the seventies about super intelligent ants.
The Key and Peele skit on how they came up with Gremlins 2 is hilarious. I like that movie better than the first.
Gremlins 2 is at the top of my list! That scene where the Brainiac gremlin calmly and casually shoots the Dumb gremlin in the face never fails to make me laugh! 👹😁
They shit on it till Davey picked it, that was hilarious. Became clear they couldn't remember it after he praised it.

The weird baby in "Eraser-Head" Talk about a Weird as Fuck psychotic movie!! = WOW!
I was going nuts wondering why no one was mentioning Child’s Play. You should def do a ranking.
Dear Chaps, really, really good show.
It hurts me to say this, but after all this time, I am starting to suspect that I may be the "anti Pete". First of all let's ignore Magma and Television "Marquee Moon”. Here are a few movie issues:
“Critters 3” (1991) is by far my favorite of the Critters series (featuring Leonardo DiCaprio’s greatest performance)
Tremors is probably my favorite (horror) movie series - even though I did not agree with the end of the final movie (what were they thinking).
Charles Band's greatest movie (by a country mile) is "Trancers" (1985)
I would just like to mention that I believe 4 of the Puppet Master movies were directed by (the great) David DeCoteau, who directed two of my favorite movies, “Creepozoids” (1987) and “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama” (1989)
Great show chaps and Pete, my wife kindly overlooks my mistakes, so I feel that I can overlook (some) of yours.
Keep up the good work.
Aylmer from Brain Damage.
Crap!! Completely forgot about that one!
Yayyyy new video!!
Gremlins bc Phoebe Cates.
if Alo didn't say his penis this was a lost cause...

Can always count on Chris to ruin a good time.
I have a different take. A show without Chris on SOT is a good show, however an episode having King 👑 ALO is getting the 5️⃣ point extra credit question correct, for a 1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ on your examination 👍💯
Agreed and isn’t Pete the moderator anyway ugh! Don’t say we need to keep this moving and then apologize?? Nothing should have been said there. Keep up with the stories Dan! Just like everyone else does.
@@raymondschmalz4300 yes he was very rude there
Come on. Chris explained why he interrupted Dan and excuses himself for it. And Dan seems to have no problem with it.
@@ChiefWiggum08151 Dan's takes tend to be my favorite. He provides great insight to an era that I wasn't around for. I'd rather hear what Dan has to say about his picks instead of Chris complaining about Dan taking an extra minute or two in a 90 minute video.
Any significance to the pipe Davey ?
Yes! I was on a Sherlock Holmes channel earlier on and it was still just sitting there!
