“Hey, Mister, we live here!”

“Franky, we don’t really live here….”

“Shut it, Sid, you know what I mean.”

Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend. Watch something stupid.

    The secret is Doctor Spektor is really a chiropractor and he just wants to help the skellies work out a few kinks in their spines.

    The horror movie I watched was when I, benumbed and helpless, watched some "dentists" rip a tooth out of my skull and hold it up for me to see as it passed into a level of ancient lore.

    Seriously, they did a great job.

    Not bad but I've been on a run with the Filipino 'Shake Rattle & Roll' series of horror/comedy movies. The series of 16 films started back in 1984 and runs (with a few big hiatuses) up to 2023. They're all anthology films with three stories, generally two horror and one comedy/horror. The early movies have a bit of a cheap 'let's make a movie!' vibe similar to 'Evil Dead I' or 'Phantasm I' but they're a hell of lot of fun. Seven onward have much a much more polished professional look to them. I'm on 12 at this point.

    Regal Entertainment has most of them on their YouTube channel for free. Only thing is they're in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines and though Google has interfaced their translator into YouTube Tagalog seems not to be enough of a popular language to get support. So I've been renting them though Amazon just to get the English subtitles. There's a few that Amazon doesn't have though, and hell it's a horror movie, you can generally figure out what's going on even without knowing what the characters are saying.

    Personal recommendations include 3 with two so-so stories plus a really fun one in 'Nanay' where a curious student nabs some mysterious eggs that turn out to be from a kappa like water creature that follows her home and raises hell. Well, about as much hell as a two-foot tall puppet can raise. Seriously Henson Productions wouldn't lose any sleep with this puppet but it's still awesome and I can't think of anyone here who wouldn't like it. It's on YouTube as 'Shake Rattle & Roll Episode 6 Nanay' if you just want to see the puppet and skip the dialog.

    And 8 with '13/F' a comedy/horror about a catering group that ends up performing a child's birthday party with a bunch of ghost kids and 'LRT' about a group trapped in a railway station after hours with a murderous creature. IMHO the winner here is 'Yaya' (not to be confused with the story in 3 also named Yaya) a 'Fright Night' type story about a young boy who believes the gorgeous nanny his grandma sent for him and his little sister is really an aswang (Filipino vampire-like monster that considers babies and small children a delicacy).

    One little thing I'll point out to the male viewers, apparently the Filipinos don't have any issues with 'male gaze' since all of them are stuffed full of stunning Filipino women, most of the episodes have (IMHO) at least one 10 and a couple of 7-8s on a scale of 1-10.
