1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,279 I'm exhausted. I'm gonna make some coffee. Oh very well. You explain this to me. This coffee, what is it used for? This is coffee. It's a drink. 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,199 Everything is ready. 3 00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:11,183 This sandwich tastes as dry as hell. Hello and welcome to Hello. This is the Doomed Show. I am Richard. Folks, I'm here. I'm all marked up. I got marked. 4 00:01:12,335 --> 00:01:26,640 In fact, I'm so hyped about our movie today. I'm talking to Mark. Hello, Mark. Hello, Richard. And you can call you can refer to me as Mark of the Witch if you want, because that was actually my namesake. My mother saw the film and then gave me the name. 5 00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:33,103 Okay, I'll remember that, but we're covering a movie called Mark of the Mark of the Wit. 6 00:01:33,936 --> 00:01:48,239 From 1970, or just Mark of the Witch from 1970. Man, we are about to get our blue eyeshadow on and we're going to talk directly to the camera a lot. A lot. 7 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:55,439 But we're gonna look fabulous doing it. I'm decked out as close to Jan Brady as I could be without breaking copyright. 8 00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:08,367 Mark of the Witch from director Tom Moore. Judging from the IMDB stuff, he was kind of uh in the same relative area as Charles B. Pierce. 9 00:02:09,151 --> 00:02:21,391 In terms of uh Texas movie making. Mm-hmm. I certainly know his cinematographer was in that crew based on what he worked on, but we'll get to that when we get to that. 10 00:02:21,855 --> 00:02:34,288 I mean he didn't direct a lot. He only did the three and two of the three I've seen, which Return to Boggy Creek. Yeah. You know, anyone clamoring for the Dano Plato film, there you go. Ooh. 11 00:02:34,752 --> 00:02:47,695 But the things he produced on, some of those were pretty'cause Horror High, I don't know if you've ever seen Horror High. Oh, I have seen it. That's a weird one. Oh yeah. I caught that late night on TV as a child and it like totally changed my world. Nice 12 00:02:48,127 --> 00:02:58,735 The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Magic. Absolute magic. And then did you ever see The Norseman, the one with Lee Majors? No, I just learned that movie existed today while I was looking at this. 13 00:02:59,135 --> 00:03:06,512 Okay, so it's a Viking film, except you'll see airplanes flying by the background, or you might see a telephone line every now and then. 14 00:03:07,135 --> 00:03:19,472 Oh, I need to see it now. Oh my god, I'm pretty cool. Color me intrigued. It's pretty interesting. I mean it's no mark of the bitch, get don't get me wrong. The the Vivitch. The Vivitch, mark of the Vivitch, yeah. 15 00:03:19,903 --> 00:03:22,768 Here is the lovely trailer for this movie. 16 00:03:23,343 --> 00:03:35,280 If the paint on your earphones starts melting off, folks, it's because of the frickin' wild synthesizer happening in this film. We'll talk about that when we talk about that. Here's the trailer. 17 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:38,159 A nice girl. 18 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:58,800 Tormented. Evil. Possessed by From the farthest pit in hell, thou await. 19 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:19,920 I have read. The thing that gets to me is that those that try to cast out witches suffer terribly themselves. You wouldn't believe that they're supposed to be the good guys. 20 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,079 and lovely body. 21 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:35,279 of witchcraft and a burning lights the man she loved three centuries ago. 22 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,079 Of time. 23 00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:47,279 Get to the good part. What about sex? 24 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,120 Midnight Ritual. 25 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,480 A quiet college campus is terrorized by a depression. 26 00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,360 evil woman three centuries dead. 27 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,120 Seen mark of the witch in color. Rated GP. All ages admitted. Parental discretion. 28 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:25,968 I have found on the internet system very appropriately called Lone Star Video VHS of Mark of the the the Witch and uh it proclaims on the cover On campus some burnt draft cards, others burnt witches. 29 00:05:26,975 --> 00:05:36,175 So there's no mention about raw burning. They just skipped over that. So that's that's the tagline, but here is the plot of the movie according to the VHS. 30 00:05:36,672 --> 00:05:45,456 On college campuses, students would experiment with anything that could bring them a thrill, but experiments can get out of hand. 31 00:05:46,016 --> 00:05:59,887 An innocent seance leads to frightening death when an overzealous co ed takes the play acting too seriously. She then discovers that, in reality, she carries the mark of the wit. 32 00:06:00,992 --> 00:06:02,831 Color eighty four minutes. 33 00:06:04,127 --> 00:06:06,927 Distributed by Selecta Tape. 34 00:06:07,807 --> 00:06:18,735 Uh I want that one. We have selected Mark of the Witch. I missed a tagline here. Innocent Coed or Bride of the Devil. 35 00:06:19,327 --> 00:06:31,247 Mark, I think I have discovered my new voice for podcasting. I I was just gonna say I think you kind of need to stop that because uh there's something about that I'm really enjoying, like maybe a little bit too much. Mark. 36 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,879 Is this is this turning you on, Mark? When I speak like this 37 00:06:40,175 --> 00:06:48,031 That's your answer right there. Does it sound anything like Donald Pleasants? What am I doing? Who is that? 38 00:06:48,463 --> 00:07:01,759 I'm hoping that we have matching little uh almost like tapeworm emblems on our wrist now. So I know Oh, you stole my joke. You stole Oh, I'm sorry. It's okay. Folks, we got tapeworms. 39 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,968 Call the police. It's better than heartworm. 40 00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:07,872 When you do that voice you're you're Richard Witchfinder gen. 41 00:07:08,624 --> 00:07:18,016 Ooh, nice. What am I gonna do? I'm gonna free'em all. I'm the they're all ladies go. Just go, go, go. And I uh just burn the male witches. How about that? 42 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:29,567 Yeah. Do your thing, girls. That's right. You're gonna start a war on warlocks. When you said do your thing just now, all I could think of was the most hated line in the Texas Chainsaw fran franchise. 43 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:39,648 Do your thing, cuz. This was written by Mary Davis and Martha Peters. I love how this has all ladies. 44 00:07:39,951 --> 00:07:52,927 on the screenplay. The cast. Uh we have a guy named Robert Elson. He plays Mac. M Mac Stewart, the the uh professor's gonna frickin' ruin everyone's lives by doing something really stupid. 45 00:07:53,295 --> 00:08:02,624 Oh, you you need to be very specific when you say doing something really stupid because this professor did so many really stupid things. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. 46 00:08:02,896 --> 00:08:14,079 I think the only thing he does that is even remotely as intelligent is he resists uh the witch's uh attempts to seduce him. I think that or maybe that was the dumb that's a dumb thing he did. 47 00:08:14,447 --> 00:08:24,351 Yeah, I think that kind of like set everything else in motion. Maybe he should have gone with it anyway. No, he's like a cool professor though,'cause he's like the kind of professor that like he'll pull the chair up and sit around sitting it backwards. 48 00:08:24,656 --> 00:08:35,678 Oh yeah. He he buys the beer for the party, th that all the students come to his house. That's probably gonna lead to some bad things, as we see in this movie. 49 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:46,272 Uh so Coed in particular, our our main gal is named Jill, and she is played by the woefully underused by the film industry, Anitra Walt. 50 00:08:46,703 --> 00:08:55,296 Um, Anitra Walsh is amazing in this frickin' movie. I am mad as hell that she only did two frickin' movies. 51 00:08:55,696 --> 00:09:06,751 She was in something called Dealing or the Berkeley to Boston forty brick lost bag blues, which sounds like the worst hippy dippy crap movie ever. 52 00:09:07,663 --> 00:09:14,080 But I do want the promotional baseball cap with all that on it. The entire title. 53 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:26,655 And all of the frickin' promotional materials looks like a bunch of long haired hippies. But it's got uh frickin' John Lithgow in it. And Barbara Hershey. 54 00:09:27,488 --> 00:09:30,480 Before she was Barbara Hershey Seagull. Yeah. 55 00:09:32,032 --> 00:09:35,471 Unfortunately, Anitra uh Walsh passed away very young but 56 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:47,440 According to IMDB, she died in uh nineteen eighty, at the age of thirty two. See, I always hate doing these things because you fight like in my mind these people should just live forever and look exactly like they did in that movie. 57 00:09:48,032 --> 00:09:51,152 She absolutely lives forever in this movie because she is 58 00:09:51,615 --> 00:10:06,192 the literal best. Next up we have Alan, her uh her sort of boyfriend. This is Daryl Wells. His claim to fame, so far as I can tell, is that um he's uncredited role in Valley of the Dolls. 59 00:10:06,624 --> 00:10:12,368 We got Hack Gardner Hack Gardner as Harry. 60 00:10:12,672 --> 00:10:18,607 uh shown my hand there. Uh Jack Gardner Yeah, I think so. Harry is 61 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:33,008 Totally an asshole. He never worked again, but he's very important to the story, as we'll see. Barbara Brownell, she plays Sharon. She's Harry's boyfriend. I mean, well, I guess girlfriend. She's a big time TV actress and all kinds of stuff. Work 62 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:45,104 And she's still doing stuff too. Yeah, I think she works and has worked more than everybody else in this cast. Wow. Oh, she's in an episode of Highway to Heaven. 63 00:10:46,048 --> 00:10:52,591 And she did Caroline the City, so there's no more to read in. I mean that's you're you're done. That's the pinnacle. Yeah, the pinnacle of ad. 64 00:10:53,056 --> 00:10:56,111 She wasn't in the Halloween episode of two. 65 00:10:56,511 --> 00:11:09,775 Two Halloween episodes of Highway to Heaven, but I highly recommend them. They're great. Is that the one where Michael Andy becomes a werewolf? Yeah, they they do the whole uh I was a teenage werewolf bit. Yeah. Marie Santel plays the witch. 66 00:11:10,495 --> 00:11:20,943 Her name I've written it down and I know I I'm mispronouncing this Marguerite of Jourdem. That doesn't sound right, but that's what I wrote down. 67 00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:33,967 I'm pretty sure that's right.'Cause she says it again and again. Thank you. I really wish this actress had worked again as well. She is awesome in this. Wide eyed craziness, does a lot of crazy faces. 68 00:11:34,495 --> 00:11:37,871 You can't be in league with the devil without making some crazy face. 69 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:48,272 And eyeshadow and mascara. Uh you know, probably the first witch ever to wear that. Yes, period specific. That's why the the Vivich was so wrong. 70 00:11:48,672 --> 00:11:55,792 You didn't have enough uh eye makeup. Exactly. 71 00:11:56,384 --> 00:12:08,847 Like where's her lip gloss? Where's her lip liner? Fake. I want my money back. Spoiler alert, if you haven't seen Mark of the Witch, you must see this. This is a showing my hand here, but I can't resist. 72 00:12:09,567 --> 00:12:12,015 Uh y you have to frickin' see Mark of the Witch. 73 00:12:12,703 --> 00:12:26,416 How easy is this film to get? To see it isn't too hard. It's on YouTube and other places. Blu-ray is out of print, so it kinda overpriced now. But it's on Prime as well, folks. Give it a whirl. 74 00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:37,360 Uh let's but I will say no matter how much the Blu-ray probably costs, it's well worth it. Yeah, totally. One thousand percent. The movie starts. Uh this is a Presidio Productions. 75 00:12:37,871 --> 00:12:48,799 All I could think of was Su Sue Sudio from from uh Genesis. So this is pre pre pre C Dio. I like to call this muddy foot fetish productions. 76 00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:59,840 Cause these toes are getting dirty. Okay, so I'm gonna do this quite a bit with this movie. This actress could easily be Piper Lori Circa Carey. 77 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:06,464 Oh yes. Hey, we do see some dirty pillows later, so she's absolutely justified. 78 00:13:06,607 --> 00:13:27,456 Mm-hmm. Uh this actress is so great. She keeps saying Lancashire. That's very cute. I like that. So Mark, tell me tell me more about this witch's curse. Like If you happen to be, you know, burning a witch or hanging a witch, be sure you give her plenty of time to finish her entire curse. 79 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:42,943 Right. Yes. Don't stop it. Don't pull that chain. You know, don't let her drop to her death. You want to hear every single word she's got to say to you. Um I shake my head. I just don't understand. It's like, has he never seen another horror movie? No. 80 00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:46,399 Not back in you know, not three hundred years ago. 81 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:56,480 No she's gonna take him down and like all of his ancestors are gonna go with 82 00:13:57,183 --> 00:14:05,600 Oh, I love it. I wrote down this is some wide-eyed awesomeness here. You will hear me now, you good men of Lancashire. 83 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,360 And you will remember my words till your dying day. 84 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:17,600 Yea, they will be pondered upon by your sons. 85 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Sons of your sons, until the last star gut is from the sky. 86 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:35,840 They will ponder my words until they gibber in madness, and remember unto their unhollowed graves the curse I now lay upon the Stuarts. 87 00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:45,312 This is also a Valpurgus knocked uh movie. So if you're keeping track like Lietta is, add this to your uh Valpurgis Noct playlist. 88 00:14:45,871 --> 00:14:53,279 Um and then I go straight to hell because the the credits come in and someone starts singing a cappella. 89 00:14:53,456 --> 00:15:07,936 Yeah, that song. Yeah, thank you. I'm glad you touched on it. Oh my god. I want to do the remix. I will happily sample all those vocals and just remix it, throw a beat on that. Because man, other than harmonica, which is uh the worst instrument ever created by human beings. 90 00:15:08,111 --> 00:15:18,816 Um I strongly don't like a cappella songs. I appreciate good singing, but I prefer two or three singers harmonizing together if it's a cappella. 91 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:33,471 That's amazing. One person kind of like crackly voiced hippie doing what is more of a shitty poem than a song. Like, what are we doing? What are we doing? It's the only thing about this movie I don't like. 92 00:15:35,087 --> 00:15:43,008 Because it's a seventies film, but it feels that to me feels like a carryover from the sixties. Yes. Uh oh, what was the song from uh 93 00:15:43,727 --> 00:15:56,128 The Giallo, um your vice is a locked room and only I have the key. It's like mother, sister, woman, child na ba do ba do you know that one? 94 00:15:56,624 --> 00:16:02,912 Yeah, I do. Yeah. You were I could tell you were tapping your toe to my rendition. I actually was. I was just hoping you would do it in your 95 00:16:03,951 --> 00:16:08,895 Oh man, I didn't remember how to do that anymore. That was a long time ago. 96 00:16:09,711 --> 00:16:16,895 All right. So we go to a book sale, which is oh I was literally at a book sale today. It was so much fun. I love book sales. 97 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:29,631 Uh but this is at the varsity bookstore. Uh we got some sexism from some off camera males complaining about girls being too weak or not working hard enough. We we put all these books in these barrels. 98 00:16:29,903 --> 00:16:40,672 Mm which I don't know much about books other than having worked at a bookstore and have worked at a library for twenty years. You don't put a bunch of books in fucking barrels, you dumbasses. 99 00:16:41,168 --> 00:16:55,744 Oh, I have an idea. Let's ruin the entire first three layers of books at the bottom by crushing them under the weight of the books on top of them. Fucking duh. I don't want to be contradictory, but I went to book fairs 100 00:16:56,176 --> 00:17:01,888 And that's how they would do it. They would the the barrels were like uh like a really strong cardboard. 101 00:17:02,607 --> 00:17:13,759 Okay. And they were like well as a little kid, they were like up to my neck. And you had to dig through the books. And yeah, I you were lucky if they had all the pages by the time you got to the ones at the bottom because people just pick them up by the page. 102 00:17:14,288 --> 00:17:24,318 I disagree with that practice, but I believe that happened to you. Oh well yes. And I'm sorry f that happened. Oh I yeah. They would also display them on tables. 103 00:17:24,751 --> 00:17:29,599 No matter the weather. So if the rain would pour in on the boats, you bought a saw 104 00:17:30,832 --> 00:17:40,031 Oh, you have to bring it home and leave it out in the uh frickin' sun. That's terrible. I thought I had it bad at frickin' uh Walmart and digging through the movie bins. 105 00:17:40,847 --> 00:17:55,296 Some random unwrapped candy bar. That better be chocolate. Wow man, if the chicks are gonna have a book drive, they ought to be big enough to push the barrels. Come on, you guys. We need those books. There's gonna be a party at the at the teacher's house. 106 00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:59,200 And someone says, How about that? A spook seminar? 107 00:17:59,855 --> 00:18:10,943 And this is where we meet Jill and she is so cute and adorable. I just wanna hug this person. I can't even process it. And her boyfriend Alan is the most clueless dork ever. 108 00:18:11,471 --> 00:18:21,119 Um it's just it's just it's perfect. Uh but yes, they're invited to a party at Mac, the professor's house. Mark, tell me all about this frickin' party. 109 00:18:21,743 --> 00:18:32,352 If anyone wants to know what the 70s looked like, his swinging bachelor professor pad has it all. Nice. And not only does it have shag carpeting and paneling. 110 00:18:32,592 --> 00:18:43,711 but it also has a bunch of his own students. I mean of course they're college students but they're all like drinking and I think there's some like pot use and stuff. Um and they're all like doing different kinds of occult things. 111 00:18:44,144 --> 00:18:58,624 Yeah. Uh it's very uh again, it feels like kind of like a overflow of the sixties into the seventies because when it all you know, like all the whole like mysticism and everything takes place. 112 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:10,559 But yeah, you get great mini skirts and headbands and uh misogyny. It's all there. See, I'm wondering if this was filmed earlier than the 1970 release date. 113 00:19:11,248 --> 00:19:20,864 'Cause it it you're so right, it is straddling that frickin' late that late sixties, early seventies stuff, and it's there's there's not enough like 114 00:19:21,392 --> 00:19:30,880 beards and really long hair. It's like all these college students that are figuring out, oh, I'm just not gonna cut my hair anymore. I want to look like the Beatles. 115 00:19:31,248 --> 00:19:41,023 It's not like, Oh my God, the Beatles broke up and my hair's down to my ass now. Yeah. No, it really d like I'm not joking in my notes when I put down like she's Jan Brady like 116 00:19:41,615 --> 00:19:51,711 It easily looks like either the Scooby and the Gang kids could be there or the Brady's could be there. Yes, yes. With the outfits because you've got the longer the 117 00:19:52,079 --> 00:20:04,672 wasted dresses and things. I think they're called an empire dress. Just really weird, odd fashion. Lots of ponytails on women who are probably too old to be wearing them. Yeah. For the fashion alone. I recommend this film for the fashion alone. It is such 118 00:20:05,104 --> 00:20:13,248 A snapshot. It is so perfect. And uh Lietta noticed a hairstyle she'd never seen before where there's a girl with pigtails. 119 00:20:13,615 --> 00:20:26,943 What was it, Mary Ellen or whatever? Yeah. She's used her very long hair to create like a bubble effect on her head and then out of nowhere there's just two pigtails popping out on the side. 120 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:41,920 She must have a massive amount of hair. It was a bumpet. Like she had a bumpet with pigtails. Yep. Wild. She was great. But she but she also had on those like um they call them mom jeans now, but like the waist was super high and it had like three buttons. 121 00:20:42,288 --> 00:20:51,167 It was like lime green and they were shorts that matched her. I think it was a vest. Mm-hmm. She could tell me my future any day of the week. Too cute. Too cute. 122 00:20:51,680 --> 00:21:06,559 So yeah, this is the kookiest happenin' party. This is way out, man. I also love how there's the uh amongst all of this frickin' uh occult business, there's a sitar being played badly by somebody. 123 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:19,104 Of course there is. And I also feel he wasn't invited, he just showed up with the sitar. Yep. They don't even know his name. Like no idea who this guy is. No. So so it's it's really fun. 124 00:21:19,536 --> 00:21:30,079 Jill has found in all of the books books this uh thick magic book that is um it's big red frickin' thing. 125 00:21:30,511 --> 00:21:44,576 And she's brought it to the party. She's very excited. My favorite is when she says, rapid fire, and I'll play this clip of this audio because it's so adorable, talking about this book and trying to get all of her friends excited about it. But she she says. 126 00:21:45,344 --> 00:21:54,559 I mean a book full of real magic with spells and curses and enchantments. Only they spell it in they call it enchantments. Well, they spell it funny, you know, like Chaucer. 127 00:21:55,599 --> 00:22:04,192 Well, it's even got recipes with spiders and toads and fat splood. But it's all real. It's all written out in this spooky old script. 128 00:22:04,592 --> 00:22:18,208 It must be a thousand years old. I have that in my notes. She's so excited. Oh man. Uh so they have a terrible idea of having a seance using the book. Uh Mark, what happens? Well, okay, so during the seance. 129 00:22:18,448 --> 00:22:29,087 Unbeknownst to everyone else there, but we can tell this because her voice infliction changes just a little bit. But she actually summons the spirit, the ghost, the witch. 130 00:22:29,632 --> 00:22:35,920 Yeah. Marguerite of Jordmain. 131 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,816 Thank you, because that was not a tip of my time. I don't even know what it is. 132 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:54,000 But I love how the actress does it because like she really does change. I mean I for the for this movie. But it's pretty impressive, like I think. Yeah, but no one else can see it. They just think she's like getting a little 133 00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:00,463 Yeah. Yep. In my mind, if they couldn't have got her, they would have gotten Linda Blair. Yes. 134 00:23:01,167 --> 00:23:10,000 Absolutely. And then her boyfriend Alan, I really wanted him to be Ted Bissell from Batgirl. And I'm going way, way back if you know what I'm talking about. 135 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:17,008 Donald. Donald. Or like a young Kurt Russell from his Disney films would be Alan perfectly. 136 00:23:17,536 --> 00:23:31,471 He'd have to play real stupid though,'cause this guy's a dope. Right. But yeah, I love this. She's Alan. She gets possessed immediately and she gets fascinated by our modern world. 137 00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:40,816 She she first falls in love with a sliding glass door. What a what a miracle. Yes. I love that. I love that much. McIntyre has to walk her through like 138 00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:54,384 This is a coffee pot. And this you know, it's just It's the best. So yeah, so she she she she meets uh the professor's dog and uh she decides she it annoys her because this dog does not like the witch. 139 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,279 So she kills the dog off camera and And then um she goes. 140 00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:09,615 is being taken home by Alan but just totally doesn't give a fuck. She does not want to deal. She doesn't even know to kiss him goodnight or anything. She's just like bye. And Alan takes this badly. 141 00:24:09,951 --> 00:24:15,951 I found this funny. So there's a big to do later about her studying the layout of the campus. 142 00:24:16,384 --> 00:24:35,183 Yes. But somehow the same night after the party is cleared and Professor Mack has to go around like um spraying for breeze on everything'cause of the stinky party or she just shows back up at his house to convince him like, yo, dude, not only am I the witch 143 00:24:35,615 --> 00:24:44,624 You're the reincarnation of the guy who betrayed me and got me hung, and then they compare their their their ringworm scars. 144 00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:56,175 Right. Which you said tapeworm, but I said tape. Yeah, ring ringworm. Yeah, ringworm is more like it. Yeah, tape tapeworm scar would be really impressive though. But that's that's a bad tapeworm. 145 00:24:56,688 --> 00:25:04,720 That's why everyone's so skinny and they fit in their suits because they've all got tapeworms. Now, did you notice Jill's apartment number? 31. 146 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:14,319 Happy Halloween, everybody. Happy Rob Zombie, everybody. Yeah, happy. 147 00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:22,000 We were just totally. Mark of the Vivich. Yeah. 148 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:33,807 Yeah. When she reveals herself to him, she stays all night talking to him about this stuff and convinces him by um oh, I don't know, making his fucking bird explode. 149 00:25:34,112 --> 00:25:35,119 Ha ha ha. 150 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:40,784 Now, if you watch the trailer for this movie, they don't show as good of a cut. 151 00:25:40,991 --> 00:25:55,215 You see what looks like a firecracker going off and this poor bird jumping to get away from it, like what the fuck? And then later they show the bird dead, but I can't tell if they really killed the bird. They probably did. It's the only other thing. 152 00:25:55,903 --> 00:26:03,119 I I'm I I'm guessing they didn't. Uh especially not if you see the hilarity of just them torturing this poor bird with a firecracker. Guys don't. 153 00:26:03,551 --> 00:26:06,127 at school everyone who's all tight 154 00:26:06,528 --> 00:26:09,743 Uh sh why we haven't even talked about Sharon and Harry yet. We'll get to them in a minute. 155 00:26:10,112 --> 00:26:27,248 They notice that she's she didn't come back. She's late for school and also the professor's late for school, which is amazing. None of these dork ass people can put two and two together that maybe Since two people who are never absent are just not there at the same time, like hmm. 156 00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:33,935 Funny. But I'll be honest, as a college student, I wouldn't have gone there because just like that. 157 00:26:34,208 --> 00:26:47,279 I was super stoked because after ten minutes you get to leave. Yes, the uh that's true. They do do that. Um the the class is full of all kinds of kooky characters, but no one's so kooky as our pals Harry and Sharon. 158 00:26:47,647 --> 00:26:51,983 or uh or sherry or heron, if you wanna combine them. 159 00:26:52,384 --> 00:27:00,048 He's a latch and he's already flirted and failed miserably with Jill as possessed by the witch. 160 00:27:00,384 --> 00:27:09,423 And Sharon, for some reason, wants to be with this hairy guy. He's so creepy. But she's also super flirtatious as well. They both are very flirtatious people. 161 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:24,079 Yeah, she's flirting with Alan pretty hard. Well just at the party, like they're dropping ice down her back. I don't know, they're both just very but did you notice when they all get up to leave in unison, the camera is at their crotch angle? Yes. 162 00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:34,031 The only I think what happened was is they wanted to double that later'cause maybe they couldn't get a good sound set up for this 163 00:27:34,528 --> 00:27:44,048 Exiting the classroom scene. I don't know. If you want to see seventies crotch and all the polyester, it's right there on display. It's why birth rates were down. 164 00:27:44,415 --> 00:27:57,488 Right. What happens when Alan uh decides to go and check on uh the old professor? So he shows up and the professor Mac opens the door and there on the couch is Jill slash the Vic. 165 00:27:58,127 --> 00:28:11,920 And so Harry uh not Harry, I'm sorry, so Alan starts to kind of clue in. Kind of, but we s we actually see his mental process. Like you can see the light bulb slowly, the dimmer going up really slow. 166 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:26,448 The saddest little like. And he's not quite buying it. And actually this is where the parakeet explained. Oh, okay. I mix it up. She's on the couch. She's on the couch and all of a sudden the bird goes. And then he's like, oh, she really is a witch. 167 00:28:26,847 --> 00:28:34,064 My favorite thing is like th I think the the kicker was when he saw that she was still wearing her the same clothes from the night before. 168 00:28:36,144 --> 00:28:46,480 But the one button on her little jacket was open. So as a witch you get cleavage. When she's Jill, you don't get cleavage. You're innocent. Yeah. You're innocent Jill. 169 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:59,951 Yes, yeah, but that button came undone and we got cleavage. She needs these two to help her do some magical shit and she will leave. That's that's what she's telling them. She's a fucking liar, asshole. 170 00:29:00,288 --> 00:29:11,536 But that's what she's that's what she's saying. And Mac explains his dumbass reverse psychology dumb shit he did to get Jill to find the book. 171 00:29:12,064 --> 00:29:14,480 Yeah, I'm like you're a stupid. 172 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:24,688 Oh my god, it's so stupid. So he through the power of suggestion he did a psychological experiment so she would find the book because he wanted to prove that all this 173 00:29:25,023 --> 00:29:36,079 uh witchy stuff is total hokum and he did it the dumbest way possible. It was real dumb. Yeah. So he actually put on top of the barrel 174 00:29:36,928 --> 00:29:51,311 Yep. Oh my god, it was so bad. Now really quick, did you know did you notice Alan's plaid pants in the scene? No, I did not. I will. You know I will. Yeah. 175 00:29:51,935 --> 00:29:59,248 She gets the uh she gets to go back to the grove and do her little like witch party that she has by the fire. Yeah. 176 00:29:59,968 --> 00:30:08,240 So so the Grove is where all the kids and the shortest mini skirt ever. Oh my god. Yeah. So so yeah, the Grove is where all the kids 177 00:30:09,167 --> 00:30:20,559 Go to make out apparently. And she heads out there to conjure up and take a bunch of demons as lovers. Of course, these demons are not ever seen. This is all her acting. 178 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Prince! 179 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,839 Circle here. 180 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:54,703 transformed into the mini skirt clad hussy of Satan. I wrote in my notes that she gives good conjure. 181 00:30:55,231 --> 00:31:02,319 'Cause man she does, doesn't she? Oh my God, she is going for it, folks. Like this performance is so 182 00:31:02,816 --> 00:31:12,336 Awesome. She just really, really gets into it. There's totally gratuitous nudity. That's so funny because she's wearing revealing clothing, but then they were like, 183 00:31:12,672 --> 00:31:18,096 Yo, we gotta see the boobies. And so she does the blouse ripping thing, which yes 184 00:31:18,928 --> 00:31:29,680 Wonderful, hooray. But it just did not need it because she's so hot just in in the way she's gr like grinding her hips for Satan. I didn't need the boobs at all. 185 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,152 Yeah. And my note I just have like the director of the side is like, oh wait a minute, we need boo. 186 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:47,824 Yes.'Cause it's like not even at the beginning, it's like towards the very end, like you said, like an afterthought. Yep. Yep. You know, bless her heart for for putting up with the bullshit and going for it. I love it. It's it's just a great frickin' moment. 187 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,544 So Alan and Matt. 188 00:31:51,119 --> 00:32:05,200 are so laxadaisical in the way they're handling this whole witch thing. Yes. They're like at a bar talking about and everything. But yeah, then he shows up in her apartment, but for all intents and purposes, I thought she was playing the Atari when he arrived with the noises going on. Oh my 189 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:17,359 The soundtrack? So yeah, folks, synthesizer enthusiasts. This is a very key moment here for the for the soundtrack of this movie. It is clearly an a synthesizer enthusiast. 190 00:32:17,951 --> 00:32:20,847 probably an early moog or maybe a bookla. 191 00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:38,832 where the person is like so happy to get sound out of it because they are so complex that whatever sounds they got they used and one of them literally as Mark said sounds like video game sounds or like an early like cell phone alarm, like really obnoxious. 192 00:32:39,231 --> 00:32:51,503 There's some cool like low drones for like uh atmosphere later, but a lot of this soundtrack when it's being witchy is just like irritating, harsh, high pitched. 193 00:32:52,175 --> 00:33:01,359 Whales and shit. Oh man. I love this. You are selling this, Richard. Yeah, you're selling it. Dude, I love synthesizers. You know this. Yeah. Yeah. 194 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:47,039 Back in time. Jill? I had expected you before now. She talks about her first demon lover, which I thought for sure was gonna be Scott Valentine, but she didn't mention him. 195 00:33:49,423 --> 00:33:58,175 I find it funny that he he resists her. Like I said earlier, I think he I think he should just gone for it. Especially with the way this movie ends. I think he should have just 196 00:33:58,816 --> 00:34:12,480 You know what? I'm a cool teacher. Every every one of my students wants to hook up with me. Yeah, this is probably the one and only female student he has not done something with. I mean would you not agree? I mean he seems like such 197 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:23,744 I like I said, it's a slippery slope, man. As soon as you start having the frickin' you're you're buying the beer at the parties, it's just a matter of time before, you know, some stupid shit gets stupid. 198 00:34:24,271 --> 00:34:29,920 Uh but yes hopefully he was able to uh withstand the power of her leopard print. Barely. Barely. 199 00:34:30,512 --> 00:34:38,880 The whole way that they edited Mac and Alan plotting against her in the bar, where they're talking to us, the viewer. 200 00:34:39,248 --> 00:34:40,608 It's so cute. 201 00:34:40,911 --> 00:34:46,175 That's just full on close up, as close as you can get without being up someone's pores. 202 00:34:46,416 --> 00:34:58,688 They're they're and they're just directly looking at each other. They're gazing into each other's eyes. It's amazing. Okay, so not plot or or pacing or anything, but the way it's it looks to me, it feels like an old soap opera. 203 00:34:58,864 --> 00:35:09,952 Yeah. Like the camera angles and stuff and like the it's just like I don't know. It was very weird. There's some uncredited TV work from the uh the director here. Some local TV work. 204 00:35:10,351 --> 00:35:14,751 Next up, she goes and at the bookstore. 205 00:35:15,056 --> 00:35:25,536 uh uh at the un at the varsity bookstore she seduces or she uh suddenly acts like she's going to seduce good old Harry who's dumb as a bag of rock 206 00:35:25,871 --> 00:35:30,431 Um and has been trying to get in her pants this whole time anyway. She's like, Take me to the grove tonight. 207 00:35:30,735 --> 00:35:33,632 Or better yet, I'll meet you there at midnight. What happens? 208 00:35:33,871 --> 00:35:47,103 It's a good old hairy. So she puts him under her spell and smears like paint, red paint, I guess, all over him from like a a finger painting gone bad. Um but he meets it he meets his uh his uh doom there at her hands in the grove. 209 00:35:47,407 --> 00:35:59,487 Um, which I want to know though, once Harry's dead, who did he leave his Snoopy book collection to? Oh my god. Because I want it. Sharon really desperately wanted them. Oh my God, so cute. She has 210 00:35:59,856 --> 00:36:12,224 great expectations for what like what she needs from a relationship is very admirable. She uses this um flask that's supposed to be booze, but it's uh it's a little um 211 00:36:12,688 --> 00:36:31,936 formula that she's cooked up to put the whammy on Harry. Yeah, I love that. He's while she's uh got him under her spell, she makes him sell his soul to Satan, which I have found very funny where in all like the exorcism movies Where the devil's using these innocents to say all these horrific things? 212 00:36:32,208 --> 00:36:39,744 to like make m you know, the people who witness it feel bad. Like it's useless. Like this isn't an innocent person corrupted. 213 00:36:39,983 --> 00:36:49,695 in a real way. This is just the a puppet kind of a way. So she she's making Harry do something totally stupid. Like, yes 214 00:36:50,288 --> 00:36:58,719 him falling in with this witch is bad and then her making him say these things is bad, but I don't think it's gonna stick in court, you know? Like in hell court. 215 00:36:59,088 --> 00:37:00,063 Hell of course. 216 00:37:00,304 --> 00:37:07,583 So are you eventually gonna get to the the big uh special effect that they were able to afford, the fire that she starts at his crotch? Oh please. 217 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:21,791 Talk about it. It's like almost a uh uh the same uh effects as the parakeet explosion. It's just the tiniest fire. Like if that was like Satan trying to oppress someone, like Harry would just peed it out. 218 00:37:21,967 --> 00:37:30,079 But the good thing about Harry is he always underestimates the powerful woman. That's how he ended up in this predicament because he was just there to get some. 219 00:37:30,527 --> 00:37:42,719 So yes, he's dead now. They find his body and they decide not to call the cops'cause what what would we do? Turn Jill in? She doesn't know what she's doing. I would run with that, Richard. Like if I had that, I would run with it. 220 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,264 I wouldn't re I wouldn't return library books. 221 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:53,568 It would every Wednesday would be pantsless Wednesday. I would just run with it, Richard. Fuck it. 222 00:37:54,032 --> 00:38:01,695 Sharon may not be the brightest, but But she figures that something is up, that Jill has decided to steal her man. 223 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,175 So Sharon confronts Jill, and the saddest thing. 224 00:38:06,351 --> 00:38:08,576 Shit ever. It's so sad. 225 00:38:08,751 --> 00:38:21,983 She decides to treat Sharon the same way by slipping her a the the witchy Mickey uh mark, what happens here? Well, okay, and uh also like on top of that though, the way they were acting okay, so so Sharon already knows that Harry's dead. 226 00:38:22,543 --> 00:38:35,423 Yes, they found the body. Yeah, but some of the conversation, because like Jill's telling her, she's like, oh no, we didn't go out there to do anything in the grove in the dark by ourselves. He just wanted to talk about how he should propose to you. Oh my god. And Sharon's like, 227 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,360 Really? And I'm like, that headband's too tight. 228 00:38:40,527 --> 00:38:43,231 'Cause it's like affecting her. Oh my god. 229 00:38:43,536 --> 00:38:56,768 It's it's the lead in her hair. They're using some kind of like uh carcinogenic thing that's eating away in her brain. Yeah, something, but like she's and then this it's like making her feel better, but I'm like, he's still dead. 230 00:38:57,231 --> 00:39:06,655 Yes. Like whether or not he was gonna marry you, that's off the table because he's dead. It's kind of the best of both worlds though, because he's gonna be a terrible fucking husband. 231 00:39:07,376 --> 00:39:18,719 Well, I don't think she'd be that great of a wife either. They would they you know what? They were the originators of the key party. How dare you? Don't ever speak ill of Sharon again. 232 00:39:19,728 --> 00:39:32,288 And then my my last recast, I definitely want Tara Reed to share it. I want that world to share. You you and Tara Reed. Oh my God. I so want Tara Reed to be that headband girl. Dude, she's yours. 233 00:39:32,815 --> 00:39:35,648 You go for it. I love it. Oh man. Yeah. 234 00:39:36,112 --> 00:39:41,184 I love how she's making everyone drinks too. Like never accept a drink from Jill. 235 00:39:41,456 --> 00:39:54,079 No. You're not gonna make it. While Jill is is making Sharon go through the same spiel and then killing Sharon out in the grove. Submit myself to him. 236 00:39:55,135 --> 00:39:58,559 In body and soul. 237 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,112 And body and soul forever into eternity. 238 00:40:06,768 --> 00:40:07,583 Forever. 239 00:40:10,351 --> 00:40:21,760 Uh Alan and Mac are still they're they're pulling an all-nighter, trying to f read every single witchcraft book to get their plan to finally get their shit together and stop this crap. But not too quick. 240 00:40:22,335 --> 00:40:31,679 No, not crazy. I thought they were actually at an Italian restaurant because like they have a 241 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:40,831 I'm like, they're actually eating in an Italian restaurant and just perusing over books on how to stop this witch from killing more and more people. Oh my god. 242 00:40:41,168 --> 00:40:47,615 Oh my god, it's so funny. I love it. Um so yes, there Mac falls asleep at his desk. 243 00:40:48,112 --> 00:41:04,447 And he's he's now by falling asleep, he's letting his reincarnational knowledge come through, and he's writing the spell and how to maybe defeat Jill and uh Alan's like You're like 244 00:41:04,751 --> 00:41:12,288 Writing in your sleep, dude. And then Mac's like, this isn't time for silliness. And I'm like, why why would he make this up? 245 00:41:12,496 --> 00:41:23,967 You now that you've seen your parakeet explode, silliness is gone a long time ago. Right. Why after all this, why would you writing in your sleep be the one thing that you're like, I can't swallow that? 246 00:41:24,335 --> 00:41:32,896 Really? That's the that's what you're gonna hang your hat on. That one right there is too unplausible. Oh my god, it's awesome. So funny. 247 00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:44,288 Uh so I want to point out there's a monotone newsman. So at where Sharon's body is out in the grove, um, I was very, very confused. 248 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,704 Like totally baffled by there's this monotone drone of a guy talking. 249 00:41:49,231 --> 00:42:01,280 And I have no idea what's going on because you can't see who's talking, just going on and on and and it just turns out to be the news guy about to give his report to the to the the news. 250 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,208 But he's like getting all the facts of the case squared away first is very strange. 251 00:42:07,135 --> 00:42:20,159 So that to me felt very much like the town that dreaded Sundown. Yeah. Now did you know that this is the actual movie that started the Satanic Panic? What? No, I'm lying. 252 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:30,335 I don't see why this was in circulation for a long time. I found on IMDb there were theatrical listings for this in eighty two. 253 00:42:30,735 --> 00:42:44,224 Wow, that's amazing. Imagine how pissed off people in nineteen eighty-two would be at this movie. Not me. No, I know. I'm not talking about like normal people like us. I'm talking about weirdos who wouldn't appreciate this. 254 00:42:44,655 --> 00:42:59,072 But like in the era of the slasher and the gore splatter, like like this like we're gonna talk about a film that this was paired with that I want to recreate one night. But can you imagine seeing this and like John Carpenter's The Thing the same night? 255 00:42:59,744 --> 00:43:03,840 I was thinking this and the Exorcist. Yes. Oh this and Exorcist too. 256 00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:07,615 Oh there you go. 257 00:43:08,208 --> 00:43:19,744 And then they sneak in Abby they sneak Abbey in at the end so it's actually a triple feature they don't tell you about. Exactly. So so so Mark, how let's get to this showdown here. Let's let's frickin' Do this. 258 00:43:20,208 --> 00:43:34,463 What happens when they finally when when Alan and Mac finally get their shit together to take on evil Jill? Well, they're the most nonchalant witch hunters ever. You may have to help me with this, Richard, because I still don't quite understand. 259 00:43:34,896 --> 00:43:42,239 But they're going to use science to fight the witchcraft. And by science I mean electricity. Yeah. Yep. Okay. 260 00:43:42,543 --> 00:43:43,072 So 261 00:43:43,344 --> 00:43:57,664 Early on there was a throwaway comment about taking the crucifix down at the party. Yes. Well the crucifix comes back into play because they invite Jill over to to you know Max Pad and they're gonna do another like reenactment of the seance thing. 262 00:43:58,463 --> 00:44:02,880 But they don't need everyone there, they just need tokens of the people. 263 00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:12,704 Which is so weird to me. That's an interesting that's an interesting detail. Very strange. Yeah, she's like, Oh, a shoe will do or you know, I'm thinking 264 00:44:13,103 --> 00:44:27,679 You know, are you going to go back to Mary, what Mary Beth or Mary Hart or Alan or whatever her name was to be like, can we just have your your uh Dr. Scholl slip on wooden clog for just a minute? We're just gonna perform a single. No, you don't have to be there. I just need that shoe. 265 00:44:27,856 --> 00:44:42,400 It's actually better if you're not there. Right. Right. Right. And then of course Alan, you know, Mac is like, you don't even have to be there, Alan. He's like, oh no, I'm a boyfriend. I've got to be there. So I am in it to win it, bro. Yeah. So Alan's there with his sideburns. 266 00:44:42,512 --> 00:44:53,215 Um but then they're doing the ritual and then now I thought this was kind of cool. Then all of a sudden, and I still don't quite know how this happens, the crucifix gets 267 00:44:53,552 --> 00:45:05,248 Like the light is reflected off the crucifix right onto the center of Jill's face. So like the the horizontal arms go across her eyes and then vertical, you're like right down the middle of her face. 268 00:45:05,391 --> 00:45:14,239 And then she starts doing that thing where it's back between her and then like um I can't say her name'cause I don't remember it, but you have it on on the tip of your tongue. Margere of Jordamain. 269 00:45:14,447 --> 00:45:28,735 Uh now you're a sex worker with a cigarette when you say it like that. You're not the wish fighter anymore. But whatever. And then like they flash back and forth and then she gets pinned to the wall somehow by the force of this. Yes. 270 00:45:29,135 --> 00:45:43,135 It makes no sense, Mark. It's crazy. Whoa, because I'm still trying to figure out the electricity part, which that's not working for me. I still don't understand that. Yeah, they just had a bunch of wire that he was gonna do some shenanigans with. I guess. Um 271 00:45:43,856 --> 00:45:51,295 But then eventually I mean, do you want me to just keep going? Please. Let's hear it. Okay, because then eventually we go back in time. 272 00:45:51,503 --> 00:46:02,047 And then we see Mac watching her and like he was in league with her. So he was gonna let her take the fall for all this, but he was just as much to blame for the whole witchiness as her. 273 00:46:02,351 --> 00:46:09,728 He actually gets the noose around his neck and he is, you know, take off the mortal coil as well. Yep. So it's like a change in his. 274 00:46:10,416 --> 00:46:15,967 So yeah. Time travel. Yes. Time travel. We get time travel. Right. Bonus. 275 00:46:16,527 --> 00:46:20,543 Yeah. And that's the end of the movie. It just ends just so abruptly. 276 00:46:20,976 --> 00:46:29,920 These are so does she stay Jill in the in the in the present time? Does Alan have to deal with it? 277 00:46:30,288 --> 00:46:44,704 Did all of Mac's family vanish from the earth? Like is there a paradox now? Will they will they get yeah, will they get a grade for the course if their teacher no longer exists? Sure, sure, yeah. You get a you get a um a C plus. 278 00:46:45,264 --> 00:46:53,599 I don't know. The whole ending is just so confusing. I'm so glad you had something because I was like, wires, crucifix. 279 00:46:54,224 --> 00:47:02,496 Yeah. I wrote um Jill attacked by pretty lights. That's my entire Well and we also to me not that we're uh uh 280 00:47:02,896 --> 00:47:10,688 Stupid audience. But like there was something to be said for Nancy, like the actually showing Nancy set everything up for the demise of Freddie Krueger. 281 00:47:11,056 --> 00:47:23,072 But all we get is electricity, like science versus witchery. Yeah. And then all of this. We don't see anything set up. That's why I'm clueless on kind of how the whole like electricity thing came into play, other than maybe a light came on. 282 00:47:23,568 --> 00:47:26,112 Um very weird. 283 00:47:26,447 --> 00:47:27,231 Oh man. 284 00:47:27,472 --> 00:47:40,416 So yeah, that's that's the whole movie. Um just a little bit of trivia about this thing. Um I found a poster from a oh not a poster. I found a newspaper ad where Mark of the Witch was playing. 285 00:47:40,592 --> 00:47:51,648 with Hercules and the Haunted World. Mario Baba with Mark of the Witch. Can you imagine? Awesome. I want to recreate that so bad. That is so cool. This was filmed in Dallas, Texas. 286 00:47:51,983 --> 00:47:58,079 The Southern Methodist University and the Texas Christian University, Fort Worth. 287 00:47:58,512 --> 00:48:06,304 Which makes me wonder if this was like supposed to be what do they get money for it as a Christian scare film or something? 288 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:19,231 Or did they even know what they were doing? Like afterwards we see this and be like, Oh, holy cow. Yeah, we w do not tell people you filmed this year. The release dates are interesting. Uh so this was, you know, in theaters in in the seventies. 289 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:25,728 And then it was also uh reappearing in the early eighties, just brilliant, how cheap 290 00:48:26,032 --> 00:48:29,952 drive in and grindhouse theater people were. They just re release anything. 291 00:48:30,192 --> 00:48:41,215 I love it. The cinematographer is Richard Bethard, and we talked a little bit how he shot Return to Boggy Creek and the Norsemen, Play Dead, some other things. 292 00:48:41,648 --> 00:48:49,824 Texas, Texas, Texas movies. I love it. Uh the soundtrack, the guy who did not know how synthesizers work, was Whitey Thomas. 293 00:48:51,407 --> 00:48:51,936 Yeah. 294 00:48:52,688 --> 00:49:05,568 Whitey Thomas's um his claim to fame after this was he did the music for the rape tastic nail gun massacre. Oh my gosh, the nail gun massacre. Wow. 295 00:49:06,063 --> 00:49:08,735 Uh I haven't thought about that in 296 00:49:09,103 --> 00:49:22,239 It's one of those movies I want to love because it's so insane, but it's just a little too effective with the rape scene. It's like, oh, it's a little very unpleasant to behold. Well, I didn't even realize that's what I was going to get. Exactly. 297 00:49:22,672 --> 00:49:32,063 Like when I I didn't realize it was a revenge flick when I start spoiler alert, when I started it. Um so one of the screenwriters was also a producer, which is why I was getting confused. 298 00:49:32,559 --> 00:49:39,648 And that was uh Mary Davis. She actually wrote the screenplay for S. F. Brownright. 299 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:54,431 Scum of the Earth AKA poor white trash two. Folks, if you're interested, one of my all time favorite doomed show episodes is me and Brad doing the SF Brown Ruggs super show. 300 00:49:55,824 --> 00:50:05,248 Check it out folks. In the in the archives and on the YouTube the the onthe Doomed Movie Th on YouTube you can listen to that whole episode. It's great. I very proud of that show. 301 00:50:06,704 --> 00:50:20,992 Yeah, Hello Cheese. This was released on a it had a DVD release as uh exploitation cinema double feature. And the other one that it was released with on the DVD is Devil Times Five, which I love that movie. 302 00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:25,728 I've always said this, I'm gonna keep saying this. I want to love that movie. 303 00:50:27,695 --> 00:50:36,000 If we could release the non slow mo version And take about twelve minutes off that movie'cause I've always 304 00:50:36,271 --> 00:50:40,512 been frustrated by that frickin' slow mo. They overuse it in that movie. 305 00:50:40,784 --> 00:50:53,472 And it's like, oh, we're doing this again. No. It's so weird. And L Lathe Garrett. I mean, how many besides like what is a cheerleader camp? How many Lathe Garrett like uh horror films do we get? 306 00:50:54,335 --> 00:51:03,920 Well you know I love me some frickin' cheerleader camp. What a masterpiece. W that needs to see Blu ray. No joke, man. That my DVD is actually very valuable. 307 00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:13,456 So Richard, I found a DVD. I ordered it from Amazon. Waited an uh extra long time for it to arrive and the thing skipped. 308 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,936 What? Yep. I'm sorry. That's up. 309 00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:33,039 Yeah, so I had to send it back. I was so sad. Damn. Yeah, that was your only chance too. Right right. Hi, I'm Raquel Welch, and you're watching me on Quasar Two Color TV. Quasar two by Motorola. 310 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:46,351 It has the improved picture tube for sharper, clearer color. The works in a drawer help keep it that way. And Motorola's suggested list price optional with dealer is the lowest price ever for their Works in a Drawer Color TV. 311 00:51:46,527 --> 00:51:58,288 Quasar 2 in consoles and compacts. I hope you'll watch my April special with Bob Hope and Tom Jones. Co-sponsored by Motorola. So, uh Mark, how do you feel about Mark of the Wit? 312 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:06,063 Even though it's your I mean, not just that it's your namesake. How do you feel about it? I love the thing. Um if if you 313 00:52:06,496 --> 00:52:18,351 at all claim to be a a fan of like witchcraft films or 70s horror and you've not seen this, I don't know what you're thinking. You need this in your life. It's amazing. 314 00:52:18,815 --> 00:52:31,632 I I do feel sorry for for for people who can't appreciate older films. Yeah. It's it's not like this fast moving thing whatsoever, but you get So much more by just like taking the time to watch. 315 00:52:32,224 --> 00:52:37,615 Like if you're unfamiliar with the 70s, this is a crash course in 70s fashion. 316 00:52:38,047 --> 00:52:51,568 kind of 70s like films in a lot of way because like even the ending to me was very 70s. Sure, sure. This is something to behold. And I think you would really be uh doing yourself a disservice, I think, as a fan of horror not to see things. 317 00:52:52,672 --> 00:52:55,824 Yeah. It's the dialogue too. All the dialogue. 318 00:52:57,215 --> 00:52:57,840 So fine. 319 00:52:58,271 --> 00:53:10,192 It's pretty awesome. It's pretty cool. Yeah, I agree with you. But yeah, this has an infectious energy to it. Uh it's cheap and cheesy, but clearly made with love because of those little details. 320 00:53:10,527 --> 00:53:19,664 As corny as things can seem, The little weird stuff and the the the mechanics of the witchcraft and the wi the rituals and all that. 321 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:37,007 really were well thought out by somebody. I don't know how accurate they were in terms of capital W witchcraft, but it's just such a force to be reckoned with. Um, I absolutely recommend this. Maybe pair it with um Um what is that movie? 322 00:53:37,728 --> 00:53:39,311 The Velvet Vampire? 323 00:53:39,807 --> 00:53:44,976 Oh, interesting. Okay. That's a good one. Oh I think that'd be really fun to pair that that with this. 324 00:53:45,344 --> 00:53:56,304 I can't believe how vibrant the print on this is. They must have used some miraculous film stock. This just eats up these colors and just blasts you with them. Well that's the witchcraft. 325 00:53:57,376 --> 00:54:05,679 I wrote in my notes that the fashions are marktastic. They certainly are. I see a lot of opportunities for your cosplaying here. 326 00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:20,400 Honestly, I gotta say it again, Anitra uh stole my heart. Jill is like I just I can't process how cute she is as Jill, and then I I just love her turn as the witch so much. 327 00:54:20,927 --> 00:54:30,032 She really brought this and I I honestly really wish she'd worked more in some other movies. It's shocking. Um, I'm glad that Sharon ended up having the big career. 328 00:54:30,592 --> 00:54:40,271 Good on her. Yeah. She was and still working to this day. That's that's crazy stuff. You did mention you weren't sure how accurate it was, but you know Anton Levee was on set every day. 329 00:54:40,768 --> 00:54:48,527 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's he has a wig on. He's like the the big fake sideburns. He's one of the guests. He was Alan. Yeah. 330 00:54:49,248 --> 00:54:54,128 Anton LeBay as Allen. Yes, the two screenwriters were witches. 331 00:54:54,815 --> 00:55:01,583 And he was a good boy before they seduced him and turned him into the Church of Satan guy. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. We know how that goes. 332 00:55:01,952 --> 00:55:13,648 So before I let you ski daddle and get back to your party with your uh your palm reading and your Ouija board and your phrenology, whatever else, your sitar. 333 00:55:13,856 --> 00:55:21,679 Mark, what is a recently seen and loved movie could be a first time watch or an old favorite? What do you got? 334 00:55:21,983 --> 00:55:34,512 So I actually this is one of my favorite like subgenres. Like I love witch films. Yeah. So I kind of went back and I thought what would be cool to watch with this particular film. 335 00:55:34,688 --> 00:55:46,320 And I wholly love George A. Romero's Season of the Witch. Oh, great movie. Great. 1972. Takes it a little bit more seriously, I think. Oh, absolutely. But it would still go well with this. 336 00:55:47,103 --> 00:55:52,079 But then on the flip side, for those people who are wanting a male witch movie. 337 00:55:52,416 --> 00:55:56,976 I also came up with from 1971. It's uh King of the Witches. 338 00:55:57,152 --> 00:56:10,735 Stars Andrew Pryme. For any like Andrew Pryne fans out there, there's a Playgirl that you might want to check out with Andrew Pry. You'll have a totally different look at Andrew Pryne if you know what I'm saying. The pride of Andrew Pryne. 339 00:56:11,007 --> 00:56:17,936 Yeah, he was a big man on campus if you know what I'm saying. Um but yeah, I love Simon King of the Witches. If have you seen that one? 340 00:56:18,367 --> 00:56:28,047 Uh let me refresh my memory. It's kind of a lot like this, except he's like a you know, a bad witch is a warlock. If I'm not mistaken, he lives like in a 341 00:56:28,351 --> 00:56:33,327 a basement apartment. So it's kind of got like a weird Laverne and Shirley feel to it. 342 00:56:33,824 --> 00:56:48,175 Just in the setting, not like the the movie itself. He's a real big sleaze. Like I I would really recommend like this one. Maybe do all three. But you know, this one and and uh the mark of the witch might be a kind of a fun pairing because you get the the female and the male version. 343 00:56:48,831 --> 00:56:59,088 Nice. But yeah, Andrew Pryan is fine as he's rocking the like uh like the grown-out Mike Brady perm uh with the beard. It's pretty awesome. 344 00:56:59,456 --> 00:57:10,224 I will watch it. I will absolutely watch that. For my pick, um, I've watched something with my pals and movie party crew. Um every month we have our little doomed movie thon discord server. 345 00:57:10,655 --> 00:57:16,847 And we uh we we pick a movie and we just chat about it while it's playing and uh we watch surf two. 346 00:57:17,152 --> 00:57:31,056 From 1983. Surf two is a parody. Uh and and the the full title is uh Surf Two, the End of the Trilogy. It is a a goofy, zany, prop, heavy comedy sight gag. 347 00:57:31,423 --> 00:57:34,192 And it's real stupid. Real stupid. 348 00:57:34,911 --> 00:57:48,335 Now what so it's eighty three? Yep, and it's got uh eighty three, it's got Eddie Dezine, Eddie D Zen, is it oh sorry, Eddie D Zen, and it's got a young, I mean young, Eric Stoltz. 349 00:57:48,831 --> 00:57:55,952 Wow. But it's got Lyle Wagner. Love I love Lyle Wagner. I love it It'd be weird if you did. 350 00:57:56,512 --> 00:58:04,175 Love him. Cleavon Little is in it, and Ruth Buzzy is in it too. Oh my god. Tom Villard. Yes. 351 00:58:04,608 --> 00:58:18,512 Yes. I love Tom. I love Tom. I mean it's got an actress I never knew I had a crush on until this movie. Her name is Lucy Lee Flippin. She's a very strange uh bird-like actress. 352 00:58:18,976 --> 00:58:28,559 who was in a bunch of TV stuff and a bunch of movies, but it was this movie that I I was so excited to see her. I didn't realize she was in it that I I unearthed. 353 00:58:29,088 --> 00:58:37,648 This like memories of my childhood having a crush on her. Really? I love Lucy Lee Flippin, she's awesome. 354 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:50,559 Um but that's what I'm into. But yeah, Surf Two. Uh I we watched the director's cut. Vinegar Syndrome has the director's cut. It's too long. The a comedy like this needs less breathing room. 355 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,599 It it needs uh 356 00:58:53,871 --> 00:59:06,559 for the sequence where the whole movie comes to a complete stop to be cut out and I assume that's what happened in the theatrical version, which I'm gonna check out next time. But yeah, my only my only issue with it was it was too long in that director's cut, but 357 00:59:06,768 --> 00:59:11,903 It might be a new favorite. I there are parts of that movie I wanted to live inside'cause it's so frickin' awesome. 358 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:26,271 Huh, interesting. Recommended. Real quick, and I'm losing the name of it, there's a Lyle Wagner movie where I'm pretty sure he just signed on to it without reading about it or he just needed the paycheck. 359 00:59:26,831 --> 00:59:30,463 But he's married to a woman who's a necrophilia. 360 00:59:30,927 --> 00:59:31,456 Oh. 361 00:59:31,856 --> 00:59:37,503 Is it Love Me Deadly? It's Love Me Deadly, yes. Love Me Deadly seventy two. Holy shit. 362 00:59:37,807 --> 00:59:48,480 That is the weirdest movie and it's so strange. Oh, I do too. But I don't know how he ended up in this film. Because it's not it's so on Lyle Wagner, uh you can't even imagine. 363 00:59:48,784 --> 00:59:53,215 Like that's not the Lyle Wagner from the Carol Burnett show. It's not even the same universe. 364 00:59:53,583 --> 01:00:04,735 No, not at all. Not at all. No. That's a strange one too. I love that one. My favorite, my favorite Lyle Wagner moment, um, aside from Murder Weapon with uh Linnea Quigley. 365 01:00:05,168 --> 01:00:13,280 Oh yes. Is his cameo in Golden Girls where he plays himself 366 01:00:14,047 --> 01:00:27,519 He and Sonny of Sonny and Cher fame are trying to s uh fight over Dorothy. He bursts in and goes, That's right, it's me, Lyle Wagner. 367 01:00:29,423 --> 01:00:30,400 Amazing. 368 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:44,831 Now do you know that it was supposed to be between him and Adam West for Batman? No, I did not know that. Yeah, the T V show. Yeah. How different would that have been? I wonder if he were if he was mad about that. Makes you wonder. 369 01:00:45,295 --> 01:00:55,487 See to me looks wise Lau Wagner looks more like what I pictured uh Bert Ward to look like. And he could do comic bookie too, but it would have been so different. 370 01:00:55,952 --> 01:01:05,536 It would have because I don't think he's got the comedic timing that um Adam West had. Having seen him on the Carol Burnett show a lot, I kind of 371 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:19,423 Really? See,'cause I grew up on the Carolinette show. He always seems so kind of wooden I don't know. I think I just love it. Well yeah, that okay, you got me there. He is the pretty boy. So I was just gonna say he was hired as the pretty boy, who was kind of like the straight guy. 372 01:01:19,664 --> 01:01:29,695 Him dressed as Dracula that one time was very funny. Yeah, no, I grew up on Carabinette. Yeah. Yeah, we it's all it's all on Tubi now. We watch it all the time. Oh I love Carolette. 373 01:01:30,719 --> 01:01:43,360 Well folks, thank you for listening.
