I've seen worse. But having listened to the podcasts where this was birthed I kinda knew what to expect. Weed-laden Kev with his odd ideas.

That being said, I loved Tusk - another weed-baby conceived on podcasts.

Killroy Was Here has some moments. Some of the kills are fun but the urban legend doesn't make all that much sense and the rules don't seem to apply consistently (saying KillRoy three times is meant to summon him but some say it way more than thrice before he eventually appears).

There are some familiar faces from Kev's other projects over the years and I liked the nod to Mewes' previous role as the janitor in Todd and the Book of Pure Evil.

Ralph Garman as a paedo priest was as creepy as it was amusing. The initial parts of that segment were funny as fuck.

Thankfully the runtime is forgiving.

Now that I've watched this I might try and watch Yoga Hosers as I only made it about fifteen minutes into that before shutting it off.

Okay so this is a weird one for me.

I started watching Scare Package a while back and turned it off about 20 minutes in. It felt unwatchable.

Watching it on The Last Drive-In has given me a different perspective.

Initially I didn't get it but by turning it off so early, I didn't allow a chance to get it.

This time around, it was much more enjoyable. It's funny, charming, gory and pays tribute to a lot of great horrors and Joe Bob is in it!

I agree with JB in that a couple of the stories could have been chopped as an anthology normally doesn't comprise so many stories - I'd say 5 tops.

Oh, and that soundtrack is banging.

I've been on a documentary kick (especially horror docs) thanks to CreatorVC and their In Search of Darkness series and my only gripe with this is it needed to be like 4 or 5 hours doing a major deep dive into black horror.

That being said, there were a number of things raised in this that I hadn't considered. I guess it's all due to the typical white privilege thing but in a way, that maybe made this hit harder.

Things like King Kong, aliens or some other creature being a metaphor for black people or somehow including black people without actually including black people. I've seen some people disagree with these notions but being a white guy, I have no say other than to see the points made and realise that, especially in movies, a lot is being said without actually coming out and saying it so why can't this also be true?

This doc is a fantastic watch and I will more than likely revisit it - perhaps after watching some of the mentioned movies as I haven't seen a lot of them. Starting with Tales From the Hood.

Really enjoyed this - not sure about Christopher Lee's American accent mind. BUT thanks to this being featured on The Last Drve-In, I learned the origin of the soundbyte in Rob Zombie's Dragula!

Really enjoyed this flick. Fun and funny and so many nods, or blatant in-your-face references, to other features like Alien, E.T, Jurassic Park among others.

I recently discovered (end of March 2025) Creature Features on YouTube. I developed a bit of a hyperfocus on horror/movie hosts mid 2024 and found Joe Bob Briggs and wanted to find more.

The trouble is, Joe Bob has kind of spoiled any other experiences with his tangential dialogue and knowledge and I find myself feeling rather sad watching Creature Features as it pales in comparison. It has a weird charm despite the awkward scripted silliness. The biggest draw for me is the diverse variety of movies that I've never heard of or were perhaps on my radar from seeing clips in the RiffTrax or What the Dub games.

This list will track my progress through the extensive catalogue of Creature Features.

1. The Vault of Horror
2. The Terror
3. Tele-Zombie
4. The Screaming Woman
5. Weekend of Terror
6. The Cosmic Man

This list will track my progress through the movies featured on Svengoolie.

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street
2. The Pit and the Pendulum
3. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

A list of movies that may or may not have inspired strips within the 2000 AD comic series as well as other comics that fall under the umbrella of Rebellion such as Misty and Scream!

The list will be in chronological order of the Progs/issues and, where there may be multiple influences for the same story/character, they will then be sorted by movie release date. If a strip has appeared in several runs, I'll add it based on it's first appearance.

I'm not sure how short/extensive this list will be as I'm making my way through the Progs on a day by day basis.

1. The Beast of Hollow Mountain

   This, along with The Valley of Gwangi, has to have been an inspiration for FLESH which ran for several series/iterations:

   Progs 1-19, 86-99, 800-808, 817-825, 973-979, 1526, 1724-1733, 1774-1785, 1850-1861 and 2001-2010.

2. The Valley of Gwangi

   This, along with The Beast of Hollow Mountain, has to have been an inspiration for FLESH which ran for several series/iterations:

   Progs 1-19, 86-99, 800-808, 817-825, 973-979, 1526, 1724-1733, 1774-1785, 1850-1861 and 2001-2010.

3. The Six Million Dollar Man

   Clearly inspired M.A.C.H 1 which ran in 2000 AD Progs 1-64.

4. Rollerball

   The inspiration for Harlem Heroes/Inferno.

   Harlem Heroes ran from Prog 1-27.

   Inferno ran from Prog 36-75.

5. Dirty Harry

   A massive inspiration for the infamous Judge Dredd.

   Dredd has featured in every single Prog since Prog 2 without fail (even when there were issues with deadlines if a new story wasn't ready there would be a reprint).

6. Carrie

   The inspiration for Moonchild, which ran in Misty from issue 1-13.

7. Papillon

   This was an inspiration for Harry Twenty on the High Rock which featured in Progs 287-307 but 'Devil's Island' was plonked into the world of Judge Dredd and first appeared in Dredd's debut in Prog 2.

8. Death Race 2000

   Another inspiration for Judge Dredd who first appeared in Prog 2 of 2000 AD. John Wagner had sent a cutting of the movie poster to Carlos Ezquerra with a note saying "Make Dredd look something like this".

9. Them!

   A strong contender for influencing the 2000 AD strip 'Ant Wars' which ran from Progs 71-85 in 1978.

10. Damnation Alley

    The book was the true inspiration for The Cursed Earth storyline that ran in Progs 61-85. This movie is an adaptation of the book but it is very different from the source material.

Just a list of movies that I watched when I was a kid (most are not age appropriate).

Where possible, I'll add notes of the age I was and anything else I can about the time.

The movies are in no particular order - basically the order is based on me ing them.

• A Nightmare on Elm Street

  This is the first horror movie I recall watching. I was 5 years old and my brother had rented it from our local (and only) video shop - Hollywood Nites. I still his hip number as I would often go and rent things myself. Sam was brilliant as he would let me take pretty much anything I wanted.

• Aliens

  It was the summer holidays and I was 7. So that would have been 1991. I was staying at my Aunt and Uncle's for a few days. I must've watched it three or four times during my stay. I'd never seen Alien so this was what drew my love for all things Ripley and Xenomorph.

  The opening title with the slow formation of ALIENS is forever burned into my memory.

• Batman

  I was 5 when this came out. My dad gave me it on VHS (still have it too). One of the only good things he ever did. He was a cunt. But that won't ruin my enjoyment of this movie. This, followed shortly thereafter by Batman Returns and Batman: The Animated Series, solidified my obsession with Batman/DC.

• Batman Returns

  Probably my favourite Christmas movie of all time. One of the few sequels to sur the original. I also had this little projector thing I had bought in Poundstretcher which showed the scene of the Batmobile on the run from GD and the narrow alleyway where Batman jettisons parts of it to narrowly scrape through.

• Pulp Fiction
• Reservoir Dogs
• In the Mouth of Madness
• Killing Zoe
• Léon: The Professional
• Mrs. Doubtfire

...plus 189 more. View the full list on Letterboxd.

Norman is often watching old black and white movies in the show. I find it interesting given that the show is set in the modern day with smartphones etc. but he only watches movies that are in black and white.

This list is my attempt at compiling them all.

• His Girl Friday

  Norman is watching this in the opening scenes of S01E01.

• Road to Utopia

  Norman is watching this in S01E02 around 30 minutes into the episode.

• Key Largo
• The Third Man
• To Be or Not to Be
