- Today's subject was originally a much darker and more thought-provoking film but studio execs decided to interfere and alter the third act in a big way. Gone was the nuanced look at Haitian Voodoo and in its place was an effects-heavy finale. So join us as we get into WTF Happened to Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow.

Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: What Happened To This Horror Movie?

I love The Serpent and the Rainbow! It's an underrated Wes Craven classic that still packs a punch despite its sometimes campy moments. I miss Wes.
As a Haitian American kid growing up in the late 80s/90s this was the most frightening movie I ever saw at one point
Super frightening. I remember watching this as a kid in the 90s back home in StLucia.
It was scary for me, a kid who was growing in New Orleans with a family apothecary with asafoetida bags, roots, mushrooms and animal parts like rattlesnake tails and stuff I didn’t even want to have explained.
This movie haunted me as a kid. Bill Pullman was awesome.
"By the way, Doctor Alan. What did you dream about this afternoon? A woman in your arms? The sea at your doorstep? Nooooo! You dreamt of me and of the grave. I know because I was there. And I can be there every time you close your eyes. The pain I cause you, in the room upstairs, is nothing to the pain I can cause in your own mind. Remember that... Doctor Alan." That's truly chilling. Such and underrate thriller.
I can still hear that line. Amazing people with majik
Serpent and the Rainbow is one of my favorite horror films of all time. It's such a brilliant departure for Craven, I often forget he directed it!
❤️🎬👍👍
The concept of this film always freaked me out, but I always found the ending goofy.
I would love to see a directors cut of the movie with the original ending and 90 minute cut
The Blu-ray edition by Shout factory is incredible 😍👍😍👍
Cool 👍
My mom was creole and got me into horror films. Seeing this movie made all the stories she told me about her childhood more real as the horror genre started coming too close to life.
Underrated. Third act didn't bother me as much as other people. Kinda funny one of the complaints was that voodoo wasn't portrayed more positively.
Voodoo wasn't negatively portrayed at all.... but it shows how the practice can potentially be used for evil.
This is 3 down on my "list of horror movies I'm making my brother watch"
Great movie that's been lingering in the back of my head for years. Finally bought the DVD.
I Have This And People Under The Stairs On DVD And They're Both The G.O.A.T.
My mother took me to see this movie in Cinema, I was 6 at the time. It scared the f@ck out of me. Why she took me I will never know. Took me until my twenties to track this movie down to resee it. Love it now.
This movie scared the shit out of me when I was young!
Celluloid film colour looks so much nicer than digital.
I always thought the ending was off! Wow.
Great 👍 content 👌
Thank you
Love this movie… as someone who is sacred of being buried alive, this gets me and is one of Wes Craven’s better movies
One of my favorites
My favorite Wes Craven film.
Great vid!! ❤️🎬👍
This movie gave me countless nightmares! But I still love it.
Wes Craven most underrated movie doesn't get enough credit
Can we get that 3 hour cut?
this is an excellent movie, I watch it a couple times a year, very few high budget hollywood movies can say the same 30 years later.
I've stayed away from this movie since it came out on the home market, 1988. I'm 47 now. I'll check it out.
I saw this film in the theater and was disappointed with it. At the time, I was in my late teens and was hoping for something along the lines of Elm Street, but found it boring. Many years later, I viewed it again as a thirty or forty- something and found myself appreciating it for what it was. Today, I like the movie and find it uncomfortable and unsettling at times, which is odd to say when giving it a re-evaluated thumbs up. I'm not a religious person in any sense, in fact, very anti-religious. But I do enjoy certain movies on the subject as fictional entertainment, although the endless amount of Christian themed demonic possession movies since The Exorcist really just needs to stop since the majority are just the same story told in much lower quality. How crap like The Conjuring series keeps going is beyond me.
I rented this as a kid with my dad thinking I’d see some zombies.
damn I forget what podcast it was on but Bill Pullman got briefly possessed whilst on set towards the end of filming I think it was the movies that made me with Josh Olsen and Joe Dante ? Heaps of other interesting scary first hand accounts about what happened on set during the filming as well .
Just rewatch3d on Tubi❤😂
I remember finding out about this 2yrs ago and 100 percent LOVED it and felt it was an automatic Wes underrated horror film. TO me is more horrific than Elm Street Saga bc this shit IS REAL. Them powers aint nothing to tamper with. Wouldve been dope to see the Directors Cut tho and see the full version, but once again its the Execs always pulling the strings.
Kick ass soundtrack❤
I love Wes telling the stories of when they filmed this...If you are curious its on the fantastic documantary The masters of horror its free on YT 🤘
So glad you featured this film. It's arguably the best Zombie flick ever made.
I think it also inspired the X-Files episode "Fresh Bones" which is also excellent.
@BReal23-qm8hs The X Files was an amazing series. It encompassed so many genres, and established a medium between the fact and fictional. I wish The Lone Gunman would have taken off. Likable characters, and a relevant base.
I don't know if y'all have done this movie yet. But I would love to see you do 1988 movie "SpellBinder".
Now with "prestige horror" being all the rage, I'd love to see a re-cut of this that returns it back to the more nuanced plot-line. There could be an interesting story in there about a guy who has to starts his delve into voodoo with all these negative assumptions only to find out that it's a very real, vibrant religion. And that it only seems extreme to milquetoast, pipe organ Christianity of Western Europe (and America). There could also be a lot said about religion being used for both good and evil in the middle of a revolution. How it's used to control through emotion
Great movie! Underrated Wes Craven.
Hollywood world never make a movie like this today
Wes said the writer was on his balcony one morning when he woke with a pile of cigarette butts all around. He was just lurking outside his room all night and it wasn't a ground level room. WTF
I thought that the supporting actress was pretty cute!
Recently purchased the blu ray
This movie freaked me the fuck out as a kid
@Stang2023 lol why you mad bro
A quick comment is not constituted as “writing”
I liked the ending it was fun to me 🤷. I remember this movie from trailers they would show at the of mca/universal home videos growing up. "Don't let them bury me. I'm not dead." That line always stayed with me.
Wes Craven's best movie! A horror masterpiece
Scream Queen 👑 I saw this movie in Highschool and it always made me wonder what it would be like if Ya did that? What would it be like if you came back from the dead? (It doesn't have to be zombies, but would you do it? This came up with me and Evan (Peters) before. And we Did find it interesting. Also I love that ending.... Don't bury me I'm not dead." Okay That I definitely find interesting (I think about dark things like this all the time and shock 😲 horror 😮I don't give a shit if there are people out there who disagree with me, So don't text back 🔙 (I ain't going to answer you cause I don't care) I ain't a sympathetic person and I don't value your opinions in any way
Great movie! Not very scary nowadays though
Great freakin movie.
What’s the difference between this version (WTF Happened…) and your video from 10 months ago (WTF Really Happened…)
Imagine going to a savage nation and then actually paying more when they threaten to kill you ...
This movie makes my balls hurt.
😈👍
jeez and haiti has only gotten worse. they could do a cannibal spin-off based on modern day.
This movie was so weird
Yup sure was.
Also it had the worse VHS cover art of any film I can remember seeing on the shelf at my local video rental store (remember those?) which can’t have helped sales
Terrible movie - such a borefest and a power rangers ending lol
Man, the book was SOOOO boring.
That's my Boy 💕 Wes Craven. Living through the Nightmare on Elm Street years as a youth was a real hoot.
Wes Craven learned a valuable Hollywood lesson - filming 'Serpent three times - Make movies that make money and ... that's it. 😂
