COB's Creepers #4 - Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Sunday 24/10, 8pm!)

[Ellie]

I'd forgotten all of this

 

[jivafox]

That reaction shot

 

[ButterTart]

 

[straightorbroken]

I assume that's a Fireman Sam costume and not a real fire fighter.

 

[COB]

They really portray the ex-wife as a terrible shrew, presumably to make the DREADFUL SEXIST hero seem more sympathetic.

 

[COB]

NOW it's happening today

 

[straightorbroken]

Well she looks familiar.

 

[Ellie]

Not quite an Oscar winning performance there from the daughter identifying her father's body with eyes gouged out.

 

[ButterTart]

Sort of fit stripey daughter really doesn't like waiting for other actors to finish their lines.

 

[jivafox]

DRUGS PROBABLY

 

[COB]

DRUGS PROBABLY

Oh isn't it always

 

[straightorbroken]

Well when I was young I'd have been asked if my cat was dead if my trousers were that short on me.

 

[COB]

I've seen lots of people on drugs, and none of them spontaneously combusted before!

 

[jivafox]

META

 

[COB]

Ohh, see what they did there

 

[Ellie]

Watching Halloween! How Meta

 

[jivafox]

“Don’t you have any Halloween spirit?”

NO

 

[COB]

META

This is just like the Princess Switch/Christmas Prince all over again

 

[straightorbroken]

I now wouldn't be surprised if Silver Shamrock was a CD2 feature on an 80s Now comp.

 

[ButterTart]

Holy shit, actual Halloween was in this film? Why weren't they watching that channel in the first place instead of unlicensed Soviet cartoons?

 

[COB]

“Don’t you have any Halloween spirit?”

NO

Cut to @ZenGiraffe studiously NOT watching along in the other room

Worker and Parasite AGHAST

 

[ButterTart]

My brother just walked in and asked 'is that Burt Reynolds?'

I assume he means Dr Yewtree.

 

[jivafox]

C L O S E D

 

[ButterTart]

Minnie Blankenship?...

Wasn't the landlady in Halloween 6 called Mrs Blankenship?

 

[straightorbroken]

I see she (Ellie - omg is this where the username comes from?) was in The Waltons and an episode of Murder She Wrote, but I doubt that's where I know her from.

 

[COB]

So the rotten doctor has just invited himself along? I don't recall her ASKING for help.

 

[Ellie]

So the rotten doctor has just invited himself along? I don't recall her ASKING for help.

Apparently she dated Woody Allen as a teenager and the underage girlfriend in Manhattan is based on her.

 

[COB]

Why would a MASK company be so well regarded that it's on the town sign?

 

[COB]

I also meant to preface this event with a content warning for anti-Irish racism, apologies.

 

[Ellie]

Why would a MASK company be so well regarded that it's on the town sign?

I just assumed there are so many small, low population towns in the US that a lot got them struggle to find any relevance at all.

 

[jivafox]

Why would a MASK company be so well regarded that it's on the town sign?

Maybe they make MORE than masks?

Silver Shamrock dildos

 

[COB]

We'll rent ONE room, it'll be cheaper

 

[ButterTart]

Quite a nice little town though. Wonka's Masks 'n' Genocide isn't really in as bizarre a location as shit daughter would have us believe.

 

[COB]

Wonka's Masks 'n' Genocide

!

 

[ButterTart]

"My wife and I"!
The attempted Irish accent!

Scenes.

 

[straightorbroken]

What a queer town.

 

[jivafox]

Iconic purple jumpsuit

 

[COB]

This wife Betty is already an icon

 

[straightorbroken]

It's the boy from Viva Forever.
