- Here I explain (with clips!) what I love about Joe Dante's cult classic horror comedy, The 'Burbs, starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Rick Ducommun, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schall, and Bruce Dern!
More spooky movies to come!

one of my favorite movies of all time...
"Can Ray come out?"
"He's not allowed outside until he resembles the man I married!"
"Aw, come on, Carol... We don't have that kind of time!"
fantastic writing.
3:31 It was also used for "Fright Night" from 1985, and "Deadly Friend," 1986.
Interesting!
Person favorite, glad people finally appreciate this film Great research and editing as well Joshua!
Well seeing as I searched for this movie and review, The 'Burbs is def one of my favorites. I liked the way Corey Feldman's character was in sort of a "safe zone" from all the craziness. I especially liked the bit with him inviting all of his friends and then ordering pizza. It's a cool contrast of soft suburbia next to mild "horror."
Queeny is also the dog from Silence of the lambs
The Burbs had a profound impact on my former house mate and myself. We found Hank's overacting to be ridiculously hilarious and how his best friend is a scumbag. And how Corey Feldman was meant to be some "cool dude" but came across like a total poser. We used catchphrases from the film constantly and even called the weird family next door to us The Clopeks. A real classic.
My family still says, "The pizza dude!"
@Inside Barry's Mind Old enough to have owned it on a format called video tape. That was purchased as an ex-rental from a something called a video shop.
Corey Feldman was VERY cool in that movie 😎
@@DrCash7 That 's the Corey Feldman emoji. I Bet he surfs to the shops every day, buys a six pack and struts home in a tank top, pointing at people on the street like "Yo, Mr Peterson 😎".
Caught this at like 2am on TBS one Friday. Should've been in bed but I was hooked.
Fun fact: Walter's little white dog was also "Precious," Buffalo Bill's dog in Silence of the Lambs.
Great movie! I will also point out that the creepy old man (Reuben Klopek) is played by Brother Theodore, whose most famous role was probably the voice of Gollum from the 1977 animated adaption of The Hobbit
Wow, I didn’t realize that! That 1977 version of the Hobbit was one of my favorite movies as a kid!
One of my all time favorite movies. I could recite the whole thing.
A friend of mine recites the whole movie all the time. No matter how much nobody knows what he's talking about or how many times he's asked to stop. Good movie though.
0:46 They could have been digging for anything, they could have been digging for, you know, like night crawlers.
I love this film!
I think my favourite horror comedies are probably Killer Klowns From Outer Space and Shaun of the Dead
Excellent choices! I love anything Edgar Wright makes, so Shaun of the Dead is a particular favorite of mine!
Fix yor life, mate!
I always enjoys this film.
Fright Night is also very good!
Lets not forget Brother Theodore !!
Never forget!
love this movie
Quite literally one of my favorite movies!!!!!!! Used to watch it with my mom every October. Think I'm gonna ressurect that tradition!
I saw this in an empty theater late at night as a kid,fucking awesome
Fave horror/comedy?
The Lost Boys
Definitely in my top ten of comedy films.....probably 9 or 10 no higher....
It's a comedy classic.
Watched this with my older brother as a kid. It disturbed and confused me.
I love this movie.
My favorite horror comedy _is_ actually The Burbs, followed by Tremors.
You've great taste
Damn, this movie isn't streaming anywhere. What a shame.
That surprised me as well. I’ve watched it on Amazon prime before and have seen it on Hulu so I thought it was still easy to find online and actually said so in my initial recording until I went back to check while editing and realized that it has since been taken off all platforms. Really strange for a Tom Hanks film released by a big company like Universal Studios. Hopefully whatever the problem is gets sorted out soon.
Mike Nichols' underrated _Wolf_ (1994) is the one I keep going back to. A gothic, contemporary take with a sharp wit.
Robert Fuest's art deco-style _The Abominable Dr. Phibes_ (1971) is a tongue-in-cheek, comic book horror fave.
And _Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein_ (1948) is legitimately amazing.
Fantastic picks! Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein pretty much wrote the book on how to do a horror comedy. Wolf is one that I don't hear too much about but as a big Mike Nichols fan, I really enjoyed seeing him approach a Werewolf movie. I haven't seen The Abominable Dr. Phibes yet but it's definitley going on my list!
My family has been watching this movie for decades. It is probably the most quoted movie in our household.
Beetlejuice is my favorite Horror/Comedy.
That’s a great one!
Joe Dante almost never misses! His films are pretty much all amazing
'whatever happened to baby jane' is a classic horror comedy
Great choice!
Finally more people are noticing this movie a bit more but at the same time I hope it still remains one of those gems hidden but not hidden fully
Definitely!
Saw it. Loved it but recently hanks reputation is looking very bad. Can’t watch his stuff anymore
I used to let that get to me, but I just try to decouple real life Tom Hanks from the characters he plays. And anyway, he's not _that_ bad. Robert De Niro is a lot worse.
Welcome to the 80s..
I am not sure this film qualifies, but I like "Nothing But Trouble" with Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, and Dan Acykroyd. I really did not find all that funny. It was amusing.
Nothing but trouble is awesome but the story behind it is even more interesting
No, I don't. I've seen enough crap films for one lifetime.
It's one of the best movies of the 80s. Your loss. But it's also one of those "you either get it, or you don't" kind of movies.
I'm sorry if this annoys you, but from the thumbnail you kinda look like Mike from RLM lmao
Ha! I’ve never gotten that comparison before but I’ll take it!
