Episode 136: The Amityville Asylum

amityville-asylum-2013The Amityville House is gone.  The address is not.  In it’s place High Hopes Hospital, a mental institution has been built.  Lisa Templeton gets a job there and pretty much all Hell breaks loose.  Join Ron and Little Miss Horror Nerd as they explore the halls of the asylum trying not to get their brains eaten, tripped up by the ghosts of the DeFeo family or be shot by the random person wielding a shotgun.  The final (so far) movie in the Amityville franchise has a few twists and turns while paying homage to many horror films including the original 1979 Amityville Horror.  There is exciting conflict, characters and even amazing special effects…on the podcast.  The movie?  That’s yet to be seen.

TOP THIRTEEN JASON VOORHEES DEATH WEAPONS!

2015-03-09-18-10-37--473568886 Happy  Friday the 13th! In honor of the holiday this week I give you my top favorite weapons Jason has used to murder people and a bit about his favorites. I have chosen 1 favorite weapon from each film except part one because of course Jason is not the killer. I love a creative kill so my picks are all about Jason using that rotting brain of his in a pinch to get the job done.

 

13.  Jason Takes Manhattan is not a good film. In fact it is one of the worst in the franchise. However, it has one of my favorite weapons and that would be Jason’s fists. After being punched repeatedly by Julius it takes him just one hit to literally punch Julius’s head off !

 

nikki 12.  No one can accuse Jason of not being resourceful. He can always find a way to murder regardless of location. In Jason Lives, even though he has ended up on a speeding mobile home, he manages to murder Nikki in a very small bathroom by smashing her face into a rubbery looking mirror. He then dispatches with the driver and is able to exit the vehicle before it catches fire.

 

11. The New Blood has several rather interesting weapons but my favorite is the axe! Jason’s best use of an axe in this sequel is the one he gave Melissa the bitch to her face. After which he tosses her against the wall like a rag doll.

 

2015-03-09-18-21-15--382725910 10. Friday the 13th 3D has a murder with one of the more interesting but bizarre weapons in Jason’s repertoire. Edna the housewife, who is with us for a very short time, probably wishes she didn’t have a hankering for homemade sweaters and scarves after meeting Jason. She was killed with one of her own knitting needles jammed into the back of her neck!

 

9. Friday the 13th Part 2 has a new batch of counselors back at Camp Crystal Lake. They are about to meet Jason and become his first victims. There are plenty of murdered counselors in the sequel but my favorite weapon in this movie is the claw hammer a deputy gets to the back of the head. Ouch! That had to hurt.

 

images-6 (1) 8. The Final Chapter has your usual body count gang hanging out at Lake House instead of working at a camp. The kids start hooking up and Jason comes by to liven the party. Loveable nerd Jimbo has sex with a pretty girl and is murdered in the afterglow. Jason uses a corkscrew to the hand to get his attention and finishes the job with a meat cleaver to the face. I liked the addition of the corkscrew. Nice touch Jason!

 

7. Jason Goes to Hell is an awful movie. There is very little that redeems this movie except a few of the kills. My favorite weapon and most comical weapon was the car door. Unfortunately, poor Edna had her head slammed in one and was no more.

 

2015-03-09-18-24-26--1420146739 6.  Tina’s doctor in The New Blood was a contemptible human being. He psychologically tortured her the majority of the movie. Fortunately, he gets his just desserts courtesy of Jason. I still can’t figure out where Jason found that weed whacker. Perhaps he bought it from Home Depot! He didn’t use it clean up the overgrowth around his cabin that is for sure. He sawed Dr. Crews in half instead.

 

giphy 5. Freddy Vs. Jason has one of my favorite machete kills of all time. Machetes are pretty basic weapons. Boring. However, one of cornfield ravers gets a very fun flaming machete to the back!

4. Friday the 13th the reboot has Jason utilizing a new weapon never before used on any of his victims. Nolan is out on the lake speeding along in his boat and is taken out by Jason with a perfect shot to the head via bow and arrow. Hey wait!  Where did Jason get those skills?

 

3. In Friday the 13th The New Beginning it isn’t actually Jason doing the killing. It is a copy cat but I will count it anyway since we don’t realize this until the end of the film. At least I didn’t. Vinnie the greaser gets a lit road flare to the mouth after stopping to tend to some car trouble. I think Jason would have been quite impressed with that weapon choice.

 

2015-03-09-18-27-25--387984796 2.  Jason X is another fail. Supernatural serial killers do not belong in space. Even though this movie is terrible it has one of my favorite kills of the franchise. Leave it to Jason to find a way to kill in a gruesome and cool way with liquid nitrogen. Unfortunately for Adrienne she has her face dunked in it, slammed into the counter and broken apart.

 

2015-03-09-18-19-47-1413109253 1. My number one favorite weapon Jason has used are the hedge trimming shears in A New Beginning Tina our big boobed beauty who has one of the nicest racks in the franchise gets stabbed through the eyes while laying naked on the ground after sex. Great weapon — great tits!

 

There you have it. My favorite Jason weapons. Would you like to know what Jason’s favorite weapon appears to be? After some research, it is the machete which he has used over 30 times in the franchise. Feel free to tell us your favorite in the comments below.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Episode 135: The Amityville Haunting

The_Amityville_Haunting_(2011)The house at 112 Ocean Ave in Amityville, NY has set empty as we journeyed all over the land chasing haunted lamps, clocks and dollhouses.  Amityville Haunting takes us back (allegedly) to the original Amityville house with it’s lineage back to the Lutz and DeFeo families.  In footage found and compiled for our viewing we will watch the Benson family fall into the madness and succumb to the famous house — or probably just the director’s house.  This is an Asylum film, after all. Ron and Little Miss Horror Nerd bring to you all of the badness that is Amityville Haunting while discussing such hot topic issues as what ghost children should look like, discount Wal-Mart food items and even the worst sex scene ever recorded.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

2015-03-04-21-30-03-179983173

Deliver Us From Evil is a possession film released in 2014 starring Eric Bana and Joel McHale. The film is set in NYC. The main character Ralph Sarchie an NYPD cop is played by Eric Bana. (ED Note: You forgot to mention how the “D” in Deliver and the entire word “EVIL” in the title poster are capitalized so your eyes are drawn to the word “DEVIL.”)

2015-03-04-21-30-25-1309934072The story begins when Ralph and his partner Butler (McHale) begin investigating a case of a woman who throws her child down a ravine in the zoo and a man who beats his wife. After some digging it becomes clear that the cases are connected. It turns out the woman’s husband and the man beating his wife served in Iraq together with a third man who is missing. 

All three men returned from combat severely disturbed. The third soldier is found dead in the basement of the house he was painting after the family calls the cops over disturbances in the house. Ill leave you with that as I do not do spoilers.

images-8Deliver Us From Evil is based on the book Beware the Night by Ralph Sarchie, published in 1999. The movie claims to be based on actual events but in reality is an original storyline based on Ralph’s actual cases. Possession films are not my favorite horror sub genre but when done well can be very enjoyable. I was quite impressed with this movie. The creepy moments were in no shortage. The action was non stop and the acting was strong. I was blown away by Joel McHale’s skills as an actor in a serious role. I loved him so much in this I hope he accept more serious roles. I liked the city setting a great deal as well. I felt it was a nice change from the woods or some secluded farm house. In fact, being set in a city is even scarier to me because as a city girl, I’m used to my monsters being human.

Overall, I really liked this film and would recommend it to others. It is a little long at almost two hours but the time went fast. I found I was interested in learning about Ralph Sarchie’s actual tangles with the supernatural after the movie was over so I ordered the book. There is no nudity, little humor, and plenty of violence Oh and an exorcism!
Check it out.
