Here in Humboldt County in the 1990's we had this nut with a Southern Texas voice host horror movies. I like the commercial break ..a bearded guy is wearing glasses with weird eyeballs and he says "Without weird, this would be a boring planet" !!!!!
i wanna see when he watched all 3 Poltergeist movies.. "lets not do this again." "carol ann, carol ann... how many times do they call her name out in this movie series??"
Btw the actor who played the real estate guy in Poltergeist who told Craig T Nelson about how they were going to relocate the graveyard to make space for more houses, that actor was one of those two goofy guys who both appeared in Return of the Living Dead 1 and 2 lol.
OMG that poster behind him is NOT from Tobe Hoopers "The Funhouse" but it is the poster of Roger Watkins' 1977 "The Fun House" better known as "The Last House On Dead End Street" : now that is a real cult classic!
According to the novelization of Poltergeist, Joe Beth Williams’ character was the second wife of Craig T. Nelson, making her the biological mom of the younger brother and sister, but Dominique Dumne’s character’s young stepmom.
That Fun House poster in the background (behind Joe Bob Briggs in the opening segment) looks like the cover of "Last House on Dead End Street" which was aka as "The Fun House" in some releases. Can anyone confirm that?
When Poltergeist came out, Joe Bob, in his newspaper column of movie reviews referred Poltergeist as " some kind of indoor trash film ". He was doing reviews of movies at the drive in then and seemed to feel like Toby Hooper betrayed his fans by going away from his drive in roots.
At the time - Spielberg's career hadn't had time to breathe to allow folks to be aware of how great Steven is and the Legacy he created. If people thought that Tobe was the true visionary behind Poltergeist - look at what came from Cooper for the years to come vs Spielberg is what I was saying...
"If people thought that Tobe was the true visionary behind Poltergeist - look at what came from Cooper for the years to come vs Spielberg is what I was saying..." Oh, I don't disagree on that. I've read that Spielberg didn't officially direct Poltergeist because of legal reasons. He was under contract with Universal and directed ET for them. I also heared that Tobe Hooper was coked out most of the time.
Yup - All of that. I think Spielberg wanted to make Poltergeist but as you also know and said, he was under Contract to Solely direct ET, so he needed a name in Horror to put on the paperwork. Tobe being responsible for Texas Massacre was a good choice for that role. It's almost too bad too that Tobe Cooper Didn't direct the movie. It would be nice to have a Horror director have a Library of films like these.
so strange to hear Joe Bob basically insinuate that Spielberg directed Poltergeist and not Hooper when he now is very adamant about this being Tobe Hooper's film and that it's a "vicious rumor" that he didn't direct it. Yet here he is saying the opposite...SPREADING that rumor! It's so weird.
I've never actually watched Poltergeist in it's entirety, I've only seen a few minutes here and a few minutes there when it's been on tv. Not sure about the studio interference but it seems that Heather O'Rourke's health problems and the doctors totally screwing up her diagnosis leading her to be unable to complete most of her scenes are what made the film what everyone considers to be a mess.
They had wrapped up principal photography months before her death. The producers and studio got little weird after Heather died and forced re-shoots. Her body doubles did most of the work near the end anyways cause of the possession/evil Carol makeup.
Clay3613 I meant "Poltergeist 3 in it's entirety" in my earlier post, but anyway, I can understand the studio not wanting to feature O'Rourke in the film all monster'd up similar to Linda Blair in The Exorcist, seeing as how people and especially her family would be watching the film so soon after her death and it would be in bad taste imo, even though anyone going in watching the film knows that the Poltergeist series has always been about ghosts and the dead/undead and other dark stuff like that and it would be expected. But it would be so uncomfortable to watch, and she was just a kid.
@@cfhcowboy9292 Such a shame. One thing that hurt monstervision was USA had the rights to a lot of the great horror, sci-fi, or thriller movies like Terminator, Tremors, Child's Play, Psycho 2, Temple of Doom just to name a few.
I don't agree with Joe Bob criticizing Poltergeist for not being very bloody and gory. It was a haunted house movie with ghosts, not a slasher flick like Friday the 13th.
You have to understand though that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is Joe Bob's favorite horror film of all time (Joe Bob even appeared in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 but his part was cut in the theatrical edit but he is in the tv edit). So with Tobe Hooper directing, he expected a lot more but was disappointed that it's more of a Steven Spielberg-ish film. Joe Bob wanted a grindhouse flick and got the exact opposite.
@what? That doesn't make much sense. At the beginning of this episode he admitted that he had already seen Poltergeist a many time before. So he knew what kind of movie it was. I have to agree with jason sramek. If you prefer gore watch a slasher movie not a Ghost movie.

God i miss this so much.......and now these are gonna be on my background while i "work".
Thanks!!!!
I would have to agree with you.
you do realize he's still making new shows on shutter with this similar format right??
It’s such a time machine listening to Joe Bob and Rusty talking up their website, back when the internet was new 😂
Hellz yeah dude. I just rediscovered joe bob, my childhood! So entertaining
The crew laughing in the background makes those episodes better.

Two months ago I meet Joe bob Briggs and Darcy the mail girl and it is awesome ❤❤❤❤
I just uploaded the host segments for "They Live", with special guest Roddy Piper =)
Was it just me or did Piper basicaly belittle Joe almost constantly.
@@oxogood9018 is going to weoww oooo and oiowwwwwwwoowowoow
Lmao "Dwarf babe"
I agree about the moment with the chairs. That got under my skin way more than anything else in this movie.
Btw the actor who played the real estate guy in Poltergeist who told Craig T Nelson about how they were going to relocate the graveyard to make space for more houses, that actor was one of those two goofy guys who both appeared in Return of the Living Dead 1 and 2 lol.
Yup that's James Karen amazing actor

Thank you! In the movie he says his wife 32 (i think) but the the older daughter is 16. I always wondered what the deal was. Thank u!
@@ericasklar4584 No problem! Craig T. Nelson was only four years older than JoBeth Williams. He was born in 1944 and she in 1948.

you are right, it is the poster for Roger Watkins' "Last House on Dead End Street"
I heard this playing in the other room and 100% thought it was Dr. Phil talking 😂
I like the Fun House poster in the background. That's my 2nd favorite Toby Hooper film after Texas Chainsaw
Did anybody notice the credits and the name Bob put in a lot of the names?
19:18 "Let's Boogie..." ...fart!
lmaooooooo ~
Zelda was also the voice that says “Taste the rainbow” in the Skittles commercials back in the day.

Yet - Tobe Cooper's career went to Shit while Spielberg went on to become one of the Greatest Filmmakers of All Time !!!
Went to became? He already had made JAWS, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and Riders of the lost Ark when Poltergeist was directed.
At the time - Spielberg's career hadn't had time to breathe to allow folks to be aware of how great Steven is and the Legacy he created.

Wish I could find whole episodes and dinner and a movie
Zelda Rubenstein - dead.Beatrice Straight - dead. But she was a hottie in the Poltergeist days. And that red hair!

the neighborhood wasnt filmed in irvine, it was filmed at simi valley.
I preferred Poltergeist 3...that movie got fucked up so much by studio interference but it had so many weird ideas and cool effects.
I've never actually watched Poltergeist in it's entirety, I've only seen a few minutes here and a few minutes there when it's been on tv.

Horribly, some people think Heather got fucked up... literally while making the movie and that's what killed her.
he sounds like Jim Varney. knowwa i mean?
I think Tobe Directed POLTERGEIST, but I think Speilberg EDITED it.Putting in his own Frames in the Process .
I don’t even have to watch the movie
Daaaam Joe Bob "Shes dead, Right?" 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Did he ever do this for child's play?
Don't think so. Not 100% tho
