I’ve never seen that movie…
My movie watching crew went into it blind, just on the title. Turns out it’s a Troma film, from the same director as The Toxic Avenger. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes low budget horror comedy and early South Park humor.
Incidentally, the chicks are actually watching the anime Pop Team Epic.
I have a story about that movie. When I was seven, we went to my uncle’s in Maryland for Christmas. I was the youngest, my brother was 9, and my six cousins who were there ranged from 11 to older teens. One night they decided to watch a movie, and they picked Poltergeist (which came out on VHS in November that year, according to the interwebs). I was not allowed to watch (because, frankly, my parents aren’t stupid), but instead of making them pick a movie we could all watch, I just got left to hang out with the adults upstairs, so I was not happy. Then in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, I suddenly came down with a painful ear infection, so my aunt took me and my mom to the hospital (or urgent care? I don’t know how common they were in 1982). They gave me medicine and let me pick a lollipop, and at some point it was mentioned that there were other kids at the house so they let me take one for each of them.
So I got left out of the movie watching, and then I got sick on Christmas Eve, and I had to share my lollipops?!?! Not fair. I’ve still never seen it.
(I joke that it’s out of spite but really I’m not a horror fan.)
Yeah, as a parent, letting little kids watch Poltergeist is a recipe for having little kids in your bed.
But to be clear, I was talking about Poultrygeist, about a guy who finds work at a friend chicken joint because his girlfriend tells him to get a job (then breaks up with him and joins an organization called Collegiate Lesbians Against Meat (CLAM)). It’s…not the same kind of movie.
😂
Ba da-da dum!😁
It would take more than poultrygeist to scare me, I was raised on Dracula and Frankenstein and the Hammer films based on the stories of Edgar Allan Poe with Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. That’s all the cinema in the village I lived in played, except sometimes when we would get more recent sci-fi movies like X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes, the ending of that one scared the heck of me.
I must get that one for hubby for Christmas.
The four front chicks look very intent.
lol…there was a “poltergeist” question on Jeopardy tonight…(not the movie, but the German word origin, but I thought it was funny that it’s the second reference I’ve seen today).
