April is “Halfway to Halloween Month” on Shudder and “The Last Drive-In” Is Back for Season Two!

Lots of good stuff in the link. But the biggest news is the return of Joe Bob!

T-bone22

HELL YES! I need Joe Bob right now.

Anybody have any issues canceling Shudder? I canceled back in July and was impressed with how easy it was. I shouldn’t have been impressed. I just noticed they have continued billing me every month. I’ve submitted a request for a refund (thanks to my posts on here I was able to go back and figure out when it was!), but I’m not holding my breath.

What honks me off more is that there are things I would have been watching! I really want to watch One Cut of the Dead, but don’t want to log in now.

Shudder is doing a watch party in a few minutes with Exorcist III. Watch the movie on ShudderTV and follow the tweets using #ShudderShutIn

... and f—k Shudder. “We have no record of you contacting us. How did you cancel? Deleting the app does not cancel the service.”

No shit. I would rather you just told me “We are going to screw you, too bad” than be condescending.

Why not dispute the CC charge with your bank?

I've been watching Cursed Films, which is a Five-Part Series that interviews Cast & Crew of films such as The Crow, The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist & Twilight Zone: The Movie on legends of cursed productions.

Episodes have been short but very interesting.

Mondo Kane

^For me, far too short. It feels like 15 minutes are spent on the actual subject and the rest of the running time is like “Let’s take a trip around town to see if anything similar is going on”. Granted, I’ve only seen 2 episodes (Exorcist & Twilight Zone) and that’s what I gathered.

Joe Bob's new season starts tomorrow at 9pm.

T-bone22

HELL YES!!

He has confirmed Blood Sucking Freaks as the second film tomorrow, with Chris Jericho as the guest. He says the first movie "is an all time, feel-good classic, and we have the star of that movie". There's supposed to be a lot more 70's films this season.

Joe Bob Briggs on Life in Quarantine, Outrage Culture, and Returning to the Drive-In

Mondo Kane

^Wonder what the breast count is gonna be in that!!!

TheBigDave

That's interesting, because Shudder doesn't currently have Blood Sucking Freaks. I wonder if they're going to add some movies just for Job Bob's show.

They don't have many 70's movies right now. Here's the current list:

Dead of Night
Deep Red
Don't Torture a Duckling
Ganga and Hess
God Told Me To
Hands of the Ripper
Images
Magic
Mark of the Devil
Season of the Witch
The Baby
The Cat O'Nine Tails
The Exorcist
The Hills Have Eyes (already used for Dinners of Death 2018 marathon)
The House That Dripped Blood
Thirst
Tourist Trap (already used in July 2018 marathon)
Twins of Evil
Vampire Circus
Wake in Fright
Zombie

Which one of these is an "all time, feel-good classic"? It's probably The Exorcist with Linda Blair as a guest star.

Promo Code: SHUTIN also works for 30-Day Free Trial.

IDrinkMolson

Hmm, I used SHUTIN on 3/18 and it just let me use it again.

T-bone22

That very well could be it, though you'd think they might pair it up with Hell Night if she was coming in.

This statement was released as well:

Listen up, people. THE LAST DRIVE-IN is a CORONAVIRUS-FREE ZONE. Given a choice between deep analysis of global infectious disease and pure escapism, we’re going for the shallow option.

To do that, we have two bona fide cult classics. The first includes one of the most beloved actresses of the eighties, who will be joining me as my special guest.


I'm thinking it could be The Fog, with Adrienne Barbeau as the guest.

Mondo Kane

^Fog just had it's 40th Anniversary a few days ago. It was EVERYWHERE on my (Horror) Social media. If that's the pick, then this would be a nice wrap-up celebration.

Unable to log in. Tells me to change my password. Fuck that. Here we go again. Remember the nightmare from last year when they couldn't handle all of the customers.

Update:finally logged on using my old password as my new password.

Pretty sure she's hammered...

Tom Savini as guest for episode 2!

I’m still reminded of Jericho’s pronunciation of De Jesus as “Da Jeezus”

TheBigDave

I loved how he named his bodyguard Ralphus. I never made that connection before.

The consensus speculation I've seen on the Joe Bob FB group and Shudder subreddit is that one of the movies will be Maniac.

I finished Bloodsucking Freaks last night. I'd only been familiar with it because it was name dropped on a skit on De La Soul's first album. That's it, so I didn't know what to expect going in. Um, I appreciated the copious amounts of nudity and could laugh at how over the top it is, but overall it wasn't really my thing. I'm not really into torture movies.

I joined Shudder in October specifically to watch Joe Bob host Halloween. Ever since, I've been working my way through all of the Last Drive In movies, mostly chronologically. The only older ones I have left now are the Phantasm movies. I had to make a spreadsheet of which ones I've already watched and which ones Shudder lost the rights to, so I can periodically check and see if those missing flicks pop back up.

The other night I watched Pieces for the first time. I vividly remember hearing the radio ads for it back in the early 80s, it being a midnight movie at a local theater. Because of those and decades of build up, I thought it would be a journey into terror. Nope! It was actually quite silly. I love watching these old movies.
