According to IMDB, this was Ann "Alice" Nelson's first film, pre-dating her work on AIRPLANE! I remember her fondly also from the tv series FAME, where she was one of the regulars.
I watched "Ghosts That Still Walk" in the late 70's or early 80's only because I recognized the name Ann Nelson who played the grandmother, Alice. She was in both 'Airplane' movies. In the first, she was the lady that sat next to 'Ted Striker' who got sick and threw up in the air sick bag from listening to 'Ted' (Robert Hayes) go on and on and on. In "Airplane 2" she did the same but this time hung herself due to Teds going on and on and on. She had a few other film and TV roles before her death in 1992. Yes, the flying rocks and the RV sequence in "Ghosts That Still Walk" went on and on and on, just like Ted in Airplane!
My favorite film featuring hypnotism is "Dead Again" with Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi (as Frankie, the Antique Dealer from Hell). I love the way that the hypnotism scenes are used to provide the historical context, while maintaining the central mystery.
I liked Dead Again until the climax, when we saw the villain's apartment full of pictures and sculptures of scissors. When I saw it in the theater, everyone laughed at that moment. It was a shame it went off the rails at the end, as it was otherwise very good.
Well, since no else has made this terrible connection - "Ghosts That Still Walk" sounds like it should be about a reunion of retired former Phantoms. Not the Broadway musical one, the pulp superhero with the garish purple costume. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom
Hmmm, best hypnotism. Going to have to give it to the first Disney Jungle Book. Say what you will, Kaa's got a damn catchy tune in that one. "Trust in me, just in me, close your eyes and trust in me..."
"What are your favorite films featuring hypnotism?": VonWenk has already mentioned "The Hypnotic Eye" and "The She Creature" (remade, badly, in 1967 as "Creature of Destruction"); those would have been on my list. But I think my favorite is "The Undead" (1957), a movie that, influenced by the Bridey Murphy craze of the 1950s, involves both hypnotism and past lives regression. Both "The Hypnotic Eye" and "The Undead" star Allison Hayes and, thus, deserve to be on anyone's list of favorite films.
You have scored real heavy on this baby. One of my absolute favorite WTAF movies I actually saw one day while staying home sick. Classic whaaaaaaat movie. 💜
@@varanid9 Contrary to Freud's theory, Jung believed that instead of residing in ones head, each individual should fysically carry their individual desires around in a huge basket.
Great job, as always. We were so ... er ... "chemically relaxed" when we saw this movie, I honestly thought I couldn't be remembering some of the craziest stuff right, but I guess I was! Absolutely batshit. Great rock effects though, as you mentioned!
Favorite involving,hypnotism? My choice is Roger Corman's "The Undead" It's a lousy title but a good, twisty movie inspired by the Bridey Murphy reincarnation fuss in the 1950s. The sets and special effects are not great, but the story is good. Corman even has a bit of Ingmar Bergman thrown in.
The She-Creature is probably my favorite horror movie in which hypnotism plays a central role. King of the Zombies is a fun horror film in which hypnotism is briefly used as a gag for Mantan Moreland.
As movies featuring hypnosis go, I have a very soft spot for Stir of echoes, I think it was overshadowed by Shyamalan's the sixth sense, as there are some similar vibes here and there. Plus I think Kevin Bacon rocks in it, as he does so often. A very enjoyable watch.
The basket scene had some pretty good acting for the kid. That’s like saying “Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” after the assassination but credit where due and all that. A shaft of golden light with darkness all around. Excessive voiceover always a warning sign, like the danger hair chicks my sons avoid.
It's so bad that even a Bad Movie Review does it INjustice by inability to reach the nadir.

"Most....are boring because nothing is happening or happening too slowly. In this, stuff happens and happens at the right speed...but it just...Keeps. On. Happening". Yeah, I had a couple girlfriends like that.
What's really funny, is that the RUclips preview box on the TV keeps repeating the same few seconds over and over, rather like the film itself! Does this movie ever end, or does it just keep running somewhere, ad infinitum?
"Sailing Stones" moving under their own power across Death Valley were a big thing in the weird stuff culture of the 1970s, and even featured in the last episode of "Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World" (1980). Don't think they attacked tourists, though...
You know how you go to a party and someone you don't really know says they've written a screenplay for a film? Then they tell you about it and you're convinced it's a total piece of shit. Some of those screenplays actually get made.
I never get invited to those kinds of parties. Last one I went to a handsy, buzzed theology professor kept trying to crowd me into a corner. ...I don't go to parties of any kind anymore.
Sometimes I think the World is a mess😒, then I see in films like this that it could be worse 🙂, then I realize the people who made this film live in our World 😞
Surely the best movie featuring hypnotism is that all time classic of past life regression and lycanthropic Mayan mummies 'Face of the Screaming Werewolf'? Please don't hit me.
It's a TV movie not a theatrical one, but one great one about hypnotism is THE UFO INCIDENT, about Betty and Barney Hill. You don't have to believe the UFO part of it actually happened (the psychiatrist himself didn't) to like it.
It took me an embarrassingly long minute to figure out how it was done. Only when I saw one of the rocks jump the other rocks did I realize that they made the rocks move by rolling them away from the camera and then playing the film back in reverse. But, yeah, the end result looks great and weird
Hypnotism is always a sign of a bad movie. Not sure why. Maybe because there is something inherently silly about it, like a hokey magic show. And any drama arising always feels fake.
Sadly this movie was made in that time period when the paranormal was used more and more in movies ( late 70's ). Saw this stinker with a couple others that look like this one ( ultra low budgets that went straight to TV stations that showed them after Midnight). The rocks come a place out in the desert called THE DEVIL'S RACE TRACK. The rocks move when no one is watching them ( kind of like Invisible Boy from Mystery Men) and they leave a trail of their movements behind them. They could have made a better movie with THE DEVIL'S RACE TRACK instead of hypnotizing old ladies, having baskets talk, dressing mummies up in pajamas ( he looked more like a sleep-in-nude kind of guy) and trying to fling old people of an RV. Don't enjoy hypnosis in movies because know how to do it for real.
@5:00 I was waiting to hear "I shot a mummy in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know!"
2:00: No wonder the RV went out of control; look who's driving it...GERALD FORD!
Chevy Chase has nothing on this guy.
No, he looks and drives more like Prince Philip.
“...is it the ghost of a cat?!?”
Truly a new level of invisible, cuddly terror!
🙀
Filmmaker 1: We’re making a horror anthology!
Filmmaker 2: Cool. What’s the frame story?
Filmmaker 1: The what?
Hah!
Just be glad she didn't hypnotize the basket..
Here we go again. This show is the perfect way to start the week.

I like the disco-light hypnotism scenes in Tower Of Evil.

@@ThreadBombIsn't it the heroine who has the scissors fixation?

The Valdemar segment in Roger Corman's Tales of Terror was pretty good. And funny, too. The Romero remake in Two Evil Eyes, too.
Hmmm, best hypnotism. Going to have to give it to the first Disney Jungle Book. Say what you will, Kaa's got a damn catchy tune in that one. "Trust in me, just in me, close your eyes and trust in me..."
"The Ghost Who Walks" nickname for The Phantom.
FUN FACT: The actress who played Aunt Alice was also in the original Airplane! She asked Ted Striker if he was nervous!
I thought she looked familiar! Thank you. 😀
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

0:52 This was simply not Sigmund Freud's forte. "Carl Jung was the expert on basket cases.
Ah, "Basket Case", a true classic.
@@varanid9 Contrary to Freud's theory, Jung believed that instead of residing in ones head, each individual should fysically carry their individual desires around in a huge basket.
@@bambufan3636 It puts its animus in the basket, it does as it's told.
@@bambufan3636 Wow. I actually think you're stating a fact.
If we're talking hypnotism, might as well bring up all the best Dracula films; Lugosi's Dracula especially had a knack for it.
The ghost of a cat. lol
Ghosts, plural. Presumably they show up in groups of nine, right?
A new stinker to add to my list, thank you. Here's a favorite I'd like for you to review, about hypnotism, The Hypnotic Eye
Night of the Demon: really scary all the way through, but the hypnotism scene near the end has genuine shocks! 😱
Great job, as always. We were so ... er ... "chemically relaxed" when we saw this movie, I honestly thought I couldn't be remembering some of the craziest stuff right, but I guess I was! Absolutely batshit. Great rock effects though, as you mentioned!
Favorite movies involving hypnotism? The Hypnotic Eye, The She Creature, Tales of Terror (my first Roger Corman Poe film), Brian DePalma's Sisters.
Favorite involving,hypnotism? My choice is Roger Corman's "The Undead" It's a lousy title but a good, twisty movie inspired by the Bridey Murphy reincarnation fuss in the 1950s. The sets and special effects are not great, but the story is good. Corman even has a bit of Ingmar Bergman thrown in.
The Exorcist II: The Heretic is the best hypnosis movie, all because of the "Synchronizer" lamp.
Best movies about hypnotism?
'Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari' and 'Altered States' come to mind.
The She-Creature is probably my favorite horror movie in which hypnotism plays a central role. King of the Zombies is a fun horror film in which hypnotism is briefly used as a gag for Mantan Moreland.
I liked the theme music to King of the Zombies.
Sleeeeeeep!
I think I saw this on tv about one am; was that Gerald Ford in the RV?
As movies featuring hypnosis go, I have a very soft spot for Stir of echoes, I think it was overshadowed by Shyamalan's the sixth sense, as there are some similar vibes here and there. Plus I think Kevin Bacon rocks in it, as he does so often. A very enjoyable watch.
The best hypnotising scene...."Get Out"!
Wait.. Did they just use the theme song from Spider Baby.... LOL
Somewhere, Mantan Moreland is screaming.

A shaft of golden light with darkness all around. Excessive voiceover always a warning sign, like the danger hair chicks my sons avoid.
I could mention some filler walking scenes in various movies or the un-ending scenes in Manos the Hands of Fate
Ghosts That Still Walk brags alot, most ghosts can only float
4:51 -> inspired by ''The Heavenly Cat" A Tom&Jerry Cartoon.
Love the bit about the ghost of the cat!
The out of control caravan shots look like "Priscilla Queen of the Desert"
Terence Stamp looks awful and years older without makeup.
Favorite films to feature hypnotism? The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Oldboy (2003) come first to mind.
i thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 had a little of that 'exciting thing goes on for too long' issue, though not to nearly such an extent
Dangling keys. Somebody's trying to get in here. You keep on knocking but you can't come in. Christine
Clever placing of the book Robin ;)
...I ghost out walkin' after midnight

Still? I've never seen a ghost that could walk in the first place.
An unusual movie in that it stars former US president Gerald Ford.
Maybe the power steering in the motor home just went out??
they could damage the RV. it's one of those annoying things that become obvious in hindsight.
Well, since people have already mentioned The Hypnotic Eye and The She Creature, I will throw in I Was a Teenage Werewolf and Tower of Evil.
Ghosts......WITH LEGS?? 🤯
excellent,thank you....
"Sailing Stones" moving under their own power across Death Valley were a big thing in the weird stuff culture of the 1970s, and even featured in the last episode of "Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World" (1980). Don't think they attacked tourists, though...
They did attack, but working with the dirt, they buried the evidence.
The rock scenes reminded me of some of the less convincing Supermarionation stuff - TerraHawks, perhaps.
Made me think of Neil Breen!
Have you done Lair of the White Worm yet?
"ghost of a cat"....good one, mate.
if they hired an editor---it would be a short subject film.
Hey Dark Corners, with your long career of watching bad movies what do you think would be your go to example of wasted potential?
Had this film been British, I can just hear Mark saying the line, "I saw Mummy talking to the mummy!!!" I'll see myself out now.
You know how you go to a party and someone you don't really know says they've written a screenplay for a film? Then they tell you about it and you're convinced it's a total piece of shit. Some of those screenplays actually get made.
At least in the old days they didn't all start by telling you which Star Trek timeline it's set in.

1:56 Five minutes?! How the hell are they supposed to cook their meth at those speeds?
Hey, it's the old lady from Airplane! "Firm, supple breasts..."
Ill say one thing from looking at it- they drive the suv at bonkers flat out

You can buy this on VHS tape off of Amazon for $95 plus tax and shipping....
They'd pay me that much to watch it? Seems fair.
I didn't know that you liked The West Wing, Robin?
It's a TV movie not a theatrical one, but one great one about hypnotism is THE UFO INCIDENT, about Betty and Barney Hill.
You don't have to believe the UFO part of it actually happened (the psychiatrist himself didn't) to like it.
Hypnotism? Eye of the Devil
the rolling stones really look visually very interesting...
It took me an embarrassingly long minute to figure out how it was done. Only when I saw one of the rocks jump the other rocks did I realize that they made the rocks move by rolling them away from the camera and then playing the film back in reverse. But, yeah, the end result looks great and weird
Is it ghost that still walk or SILL walk? Lol can’t tell by the thumbnail lol
Damn it!
Another "wow, just wow," film.
Hypnotism is always a sign of a bad movie. Not sure why. Maybe because there is something inherently silly about it, like a hokey magic show. And any drama arising always feels fake.
Alice and Harry. Have a good time wherever
them ghosks should be floatin' not walkin'

I could not help and watch this because this movie is so bad the thumbnail was misspelled
I’m not sure I believe ghosts can walk. If they can pass through walls, why don’t they fall through the floor?
They're like spaceships in the original "Star Trek" and on the horizontal plane. 😁
Okay - so kid goes to a shrink and turns into a basket case and things roll downhill from there...
This flick is a real winner.
man, this spinoff of "The Phantom" looks pretty bad
Stones are dumb as rocks
🎉
The ideas can be fun, but the scenes go on too long, it makes the movie boring. It’s like a Quentin Tarantino film.
Candyman in theaters September 2020.
This movie is the precursor of 'Matrix' sequels.
20+ minutes of an action scene. Wake me to hear all the exposition. Repeat.
