The plan is for everyone to watch this film on the October day in the thread title, and to start discussing it the morning of the following day. You may start discussion early if you want, but the preferred plan is for this to be as much of a group exercise as possible, with all of us viewing it "together" and discussing after. Of course, you are totally encouraged to participate in these threads even if you haven't watched the movie on the designated day. Even if you haven't watched it in years, or are not participating in the Horror Challenge, please feel free to chime in. Spoiler tags aren't always used in here, so if you have yet to see the film BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS. _______________________________________ <table border="25"><tr> <td bgcolor=#000000> S P O N S O R E D B Y <table border="5"><tr> <td bgcolor=#2F4F4F>http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...kSmallLogo.jpg </tr></td></table> <table border="5"><tr> <td bgcolor=#2F4F4F>http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...rSmallLogo.jpg </tr></td></table> <table border="5"><tr> <td bgcolor=#2F4F4F>http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...c.jpg~original </tr></td></table> <table border="5"><tr> <TD BGCOLOR=#000000>http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...d.jpg~original</tr></td></table> <td bgcolor=#000000> S P O N S O R E D B Y </tr></td></table> 2017 DISCUSSION | 2017 LISTS |
Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
For some reason, I'm looking forward to a triple feature of this tomorrow. Elvira version on Prime, then the commentary on the BD, then the MST3K disc. I imagine my enthusiasm will diminish as the viewings progress, but at least I'm saving the best for last.
This, and exploring the new Manos BD will likely fill my day. |

I hereby challenge all to a duel banging together garden utensils to prove dominance.

This is one of those movies where it feels like an alien (or a hobgoblin) wrote it.

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
This disk has everything but the kitchen sink, it must be great!
• Scanned, restored & preserved in 2k from 35mm original camera negative • Archival commentary track with director Rick Sloane • “Hobgoblins Revisited” brand new making-of featurette • Brand new interview with hobgoblin creature fabricator, Kenneth J. Hall • “Hobgoblins: The Making of a Disasterpiece” featurette • “Hobgoblins Invade Comic-Con” featurette • Trailer • Reverse cover artwork • English SDH Subtitles All this for nine bucks! Subtitles! |

The Vinegar Syndrome disc does not even really have reversible cover art; it's just a giant 2 page photo of the creatures not a reversible cover variant...

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
I like to collect Vinegar Syndrome titles but being familiar with this movie from the MST3k episode I just couldn't bring myself to purchase it. Can anybody attest to the film being more entertaining watching the pristine restoration?

Ugh, gonna be a rough day, regretting my vow to watch Manos later. Wait, was it really a vow? No, more like a possible plan.... |

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
I've never seen Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles but I think there's a lot of potential for a 'dark muppets' horror movies. Gremlins is probably the closest I can think of and it's pretty great. Kind of a shame Jim Henson didn't get more into mainstream theatrical movies beyond The Dark Crystal or that Hobgoblins is such a miss.

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
the extended yard tool MMA battle was the highlight of the film.

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
I loved it!! Now that being said; it must be pretty sad knowing that the peak of an actors career is wrestling around with stuffed creatures.

This movie is divine punishment for 80s excess.

Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
This was pretty bad as I watched it without the MST3k treatment. There were several instances of when the car was driving down the road, and there was an interior shot, you could see hands outside rocking the car. It feels just a little too tongue in cheek for me as everyone is in on the joke, with no one really trying to play it straight. Amy's wildest fantasy is to dance at Club Scum?

Teen Wolf Too too. Pretty bad movie but it has its charm I suppose. Was the sergeant quietly counting when the grenade exploded in Club Scum, like the stunt person was anticipating the explosion? :lol: I need to watch the MS3TK version. |
Re: "Hobgoblins" Reviews/Discussion - 2017 Horror Challenge
I was expecting this to be atrocious, but it was partially enjoyable.
