I added the "Fatality" text as a joke.... but the dramatic Fatality music was all in-movie! Andy Sidaris beat Ed Boon and John Tobias by 5 whole years!!!!

Momma's gotta put skill points into stealth before my next Door Dash order. I always get the chatty drivers and I don't want cold chicky nuggies.

Oh totally! Like when they want their characters to be watching Star Trek but it's way easier to make their own crappy Star Trek knockoff than to pay for the actual rights... and all of us in the audience know exactly what they're doing but give them a pass because we love the show so much... and then Mom gets a phone call about how much homework I've been missing... and then Dad comes home and cracks open a brand new bottle of Jim Beam.... But I digress....

@ You've just captured a little slice of Americana right there!

Little pink houses and all that jazz!

Cutting the gore and everything was just a weird choice. But cutting the character interactions lost so much flavor for later on. Just a baffling choice and I don't know if there's an acceptable answer out there to explain it.

You're closer than you think. It's just that the chicken mask was brought in by the hot goth girl. Even I didn't see that one coming!!!!

Absolutely! Tik and Tok was how they were listed in the credits! And I'm glad to have you along for the show! Year 4's reviews just got started and there's a whole year of trashy good times a-comin!!!! 🎈🤡👍

And the fun really gets kicked off next Monday with 2025's first review!

It's definitely one of my favorite reasons for starting this show. Because I had never seen it until I needed movies for review. Miles better than anything I expected. I assume it isn't more spoken about due to getting lost among the overwhelming number of 80s slashers.

Hopefully the actual video made you stick around! 🤡

Not a bad video

Well thanks for watching! Improvements coming for 2025! Both in content AND quality! I'm frantically editing episodes now!

Already got one! I'm multi-tasking like a boss, yo! 2025 episodes being produced as we speak, so smash that subscribe button and be the first on your block to see the latest episodes!

@@sugarpantsvideobasement no

Your comment says "no" but your hits say "yes yes yes!" 💕🤡🎈

(looks away from his Atari 2600) .... It's WHAT year?!?!?!?!?!?!?

@sugarpantsvideobasement I imagine people hate on you, they are objectively incorrect. Not because that joke is good, it's OK, but because I checked back on this video and the other 2 comments are kinda mean and that was not my intention.

No harm, no foul. I didn't read "mean" from your comment anyway. I believe I got a thick enough skin for this job. I mean... ya kinda have to if you're gonna voluntarily slap on the grease paint for the cameras once a fortnight! It's all good, Reckless! 🤡👍

I truly appreciate that! With the help of super cool folks like you, maybe someday this will be more than a hobby!!!! 🎈🤡👍

Transformers or Terrifier 3 is one heluva coin flip!

Honestly you have no idea how hard I fight to NOT have the Boosh show up in my reviews. Now.... The IT Crowd... that's a horse of a different color. Waiting for a special movie to crack that one.

That's really why I do it! Good, bad, whatever... I just want people to know what's available! Hell, even if it's a movie I didn't like... If someone else thinks it's great, I'm just glad they found it!!!!

I fully admit... It's totally derivative of Joe Bob Briggs' Drive-In Totals... but I figure we're even since I put his name in the credits of every episode!!!!

My big theatre chains say tickets are on sale, but no confirmed showtimes listed on the websites just yet. I'll definitely see it as soon as I can... but I'm definitely not going to be an early bird here. But the odds are quite good that I'll do a quick, spoiler-free review just like I did with #2!!!!

@@sugarpantsvideobasement I've had my tickets for Event Cinema for 4-5 weeks now. All times are listed for Terrfier movies at Monster Fest where i am.

Ah! I just double checked and "my theatre" was some weird location and not my local for whatever reason. Thanks for following up or I might have never fixed that!!!! 🤡👍

@@sugarpantsvideobasement beautiful! Enjoy! 🎅🪚🤡

Well, I'm always thrilled when folks enjoy my stuff. Good news is I've recently upgraded some equipment, so 2025 should LOOK and SOUND a little better. But I'll still be telling the same recycled jokes! 🤡

@@sugarpantsvideobasement , hell yeah I look forward to that good luck in the new year we all going to need it

There is, but most of it comes from that damn puppet! 🤡

To be honest... I don't really know what I'm doing. I've just always wanted to do a "tv show" and Covid lockdowns gave me the time to figure it out! Things have changed a bit since I got started and more changes on the way! Glad to have you along for the ride, regardless of how it turns out! 🤡👍

🎶Fourteen Hundred Ninety Two and I'm a-crossin' the ocean blue!!!🎶 Seriously though, not sure what you're asking the year of. The current year? 2024. The movie? Came out in 2003. My personal year? I never really left the 90s so.... 1998? My camera? It's an 1847 Potato that survived the Irish famine.

Joe Bob was a big influence on me back during the TNT Monstervision days! That's why I put him in my "special thanks" section of my end credits. I appreciate the subscription! All 2024 episodes are done and uploaded and I'm currently working on 2025's line up! Got some good stuff on the way!!!!

It's totes adorbs how hard you're crushin' on me right now. 💚🤡💚

@@sugarpantsvideobasement it's alright hommie I'm just making jokes, don't take it too hard.

All episodes for 2024 are done and uploaded (every 2 weeks!) and I'm currently working on 2025 content! I'm hoping to eventually have weekly episodes.... though I can't say when that'll happen, if at all.

Hmm.... not sure if my last comment posted as I'm not seeing it listed. Yeah, Spanky was an integral role in this movie. Without Spanky I just don't think this movie would've even made it to the show. #lifeneedsmorespanky

Anybody want a peanut?

Well, that's the best thing about the basement tapes. Ya just never know what's gonna be reviewed down the line.

Got that translated thanks to Google. Unfortunately the "r**" is 1000% crucial to the comment... so I'm still not sure what your opinion is. 🤷‍♂️

@@sugarpantsvideobasement Я всего лишь поделился своей точкой зрения и как по мне первый фильм хорош второй фильм отстой третий который должен выйти Я полагаю что тоже будет галиматье

Yeah, I totally get why people don't like #2. Me? I'm not so worried about the movie itself. I just want a delivery mechanism for Art's shenanigans. It'd be nice if it felt more in depth than the director just throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks, though. Because #2 had so many things that just went nowhere. Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and #3 will try to explain #2.

@@sugarpantsvideobasement всё может и повезёт на в 3 Будет видно! Первый фильм я могу пересматривать иногда а второй но никак не идёт (

While I don't necessarily need a movie to spell everything out for me, I am a big believer of them being able to stand on their own two feet. If the director wanted to tell me what something meant, the time for them to do so was in the movie. Not in the bonus materials after the movie is released. It's like when people say "this part makes sense if you read the book" or "this was explained in Fortnight's DLC." I generally don't let things like that get a pass.

@@sugarpantsvideobasement I agree with that, being that art is non verbal it's great just watching how expressive he is, that being said nobody else knows his story and the pale girl according to the director was the once that brought him back to life after terrifier 1.

Yeah, and for me, the story is secondary. I'm here to see Art be Art. As I said in my review of #2, it's like Porn. I'm not interested in the story so much. I just want the story to be a delivery system for what I'm there to see. For now, it's not really an issue. But I assume there's gonna come a time when Damien wants to do a movie that isn't about Art, and that's when his skills as a story teller are really going to be a factor.... for me, at least.

I'm just thrilled to see it being carried by Aussie theatres! #2 was such a limited run, I was worried it wouldn't have enough box office info behind it. But the websites have placeholders for all three movies.... so I might just have to watch 'em all!

Dude, have you seen my review of "Necropolis: Legion"? It makes Thankskilling look like Citizen Freakin' Kane! 🤡 And my other yet-to-be-named contender is so bad I can't bring myself to sit down and watch it a 2nd time right now. It's like a looming storm on the horizon. I'm aware of its existence, I know it's bad... but I haven't seen it in years and will have to watch it again if I'm gonna review it. It's just my sheer morbid curiosity that demands I officially rank it and settle this personal debate. I'm just too much of a coward to do it any time soon. 😄

Right??? Much like a Snickers bar, this one really satisfies!

@@sugarpantsvideobasement @sugarpantsvideobasement155 haha the B movie Snickers bar!

@sugarpantsvideobasement155 it just occurred to me. Does this film even come under the B movie umbrella?

B movie or not, I suddenly really want a friggin' candy bar right now!

Hey! I know that dude! 😀

@sugarpantsvideobasement155 it just occurred to me. Does this film even come under the B movie umbrella?

Basement's plenty cool! Damp and full of silverfish! 🤡

Unfortunately I grew up in the middle of nowhere, so I missed out on a lot of comics and magazines. I didn't get regular access to Heavy Metal until waaaaay later in life so I'll have to take your word for it. Other than the Den that appears in the movie... I'm assuming it's the same character.

Yeah, my vocal audio is the biggest "fix" I'm hoping to improve asap. As I said to another comment offering helpful tips, it just seems every time I have a little extra money for better equipment, something comes up and I have to spend it more responsibly. But thanks for the info, regardless! Glad to have you along for the show. 2024's episodes are all done and uploaded, and currently working on next year's trashy goodness! Quality issues or not, this clown ain't stoppin' any time soon!

@sugarpantsvideobasement155 do you have any way to support you then? like an amazon wishlist or something?

Well I appreciate the asking, but I don't really have anything like that. Not to worry, though. I've got my eye on some equipment at the moment. It's just that none of it went on sale during the EOFY sales that just ended!!!! There's still plenty of time before I have to start recording next year's episodes. I'm pretty confident I'll have what I need by then!

Glad to have you aboard! Good news is, I very recently finished all of my 2024 episodes, so there's guaranteed new stuff every other week! I'm currently working on 2025 reviews right now! Got some goooooooooood stuff lined up for next year as well as some new surprises too!

It's nice to know the algorithm still sees me! Views had been kinda slow lately! But I totally agree. B-Movies are a fantastic platform for the dirty dirty! I'm hoping to get some sword & sandal content soon! Too much B-movie loincloth-ery going around for me to just ignore it all!!! 🤡

@sugarpantsvideobasement155 That could be fun! I'm not versed at all in (what I consider) obscure cinema. But I enjoy videos like this that comment on peculiar titles I would otherwise be completely unaware of. I have a feeling that the algorithm showed me your content because I watch Possum Reviews. He touches on the outrageous garbage of American cinema. You have something good going on here, I will subscribe and watch your other videos. Keep up the graft, sir Sugarpants.

I appreciate the subscription and the compliments! And I'll swing over to Possum Reviews to have a look for myself as I'm not familiar with that channel. As for keeping it going, 2024 episodes are all done and uploaded, so every other week there will be new content. Currently working on 2025 reviews! If things go well, I'm hoping the new year brings weekly episodes!

@sugarpantsvideobasement155 Your style is different from Possum, which is important. One has gotta use their own voice. But it's the same "genre" of content, I suppose. I enjoy watching people pluck apart terrible or unusual films that I am unlikely to sit down and watch myself. And your catalogue is full of titles I've never heard of. I hope your channel continues to grow and you can invest in better equipment. I noticed someone else commented a similar sentiment. But, the quality of your reviews stand on their own. I love the whole "clown in the dank basement blowing dust out of old VHS tapes" thing you created. It's a good formula for a KZbin channel.

I really appreciate that! It's been a little hit & miss since starting my channel, but I'm definitely learning a lot and trying to improve as I go along. Other than better equipment, I've got some changes/additions I'm hoping to implement next year. Heck, I've got a lot of stuff I want to do, but I'm just one person. Might be several years by time I get them added, but I gotta just do it one step at a time. Thankfully I was smart enough to not choose a single genre of movies to do, because the world of trash cinema gives me years and years of content to review!

Oh totally. My equipment is terrible. When I got started, I just went with what I had and planned to upgrade when I could afford to. Unfortunately "real life" seems to get in the way every time I have a little extra scratch for a new camera. But thanks for the tips! Stick around! I feel like I get better every year! All 2024 episodes uploaded and I'm planning some new surprises for next year! (hopefully that includes a new camera!!!!)

I won’t even front, the nostalgia for the quality makes this channel unique and better in my opinion

I'm glad you caught that! I'm actually trying to make the show look like the low budget stuff I grew up watching. I mean, I won't lie... a lot of it is due to my equipment and skills as a video editor. But there's definitely a reason why I haven't moved to make it "look" better. Getting better equipment is mostly for audio purposes. I personally dig the "public access" look of the show, and don't plan on losing that!

All them years working in Radio are finally paying off! Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate when folks highlight the jokes that made them laugh! 🤡

Fantastic to hear! I've actually had a couple comments from folks who worked on movies I've reviewed. Regardless of my opinion of the movie itself, I'm always happy to know people had fun working on it! This one definitely hits a lot of good spots for me, and I wish I had seen it a lot earlier in life. But, better late than never, and all that jazz! Thanks for commenting! It definitely makes it easier to stay motivated knowing people enjoy my writing!

Over my many years in the business of making special effects, there are some jobs that come and go and then there are projects that are episodes of my life I will never forget... the making of this film was one of those projects that greatly impacted my life. I met the woman who would become my wife and we've been married for 30 years now while working on it. I worked on it with some people who were very talented heroes of mine and some who were my friends from high school. I started on this film as an illustrator but by the end of production I was deeply involved with physically creating the creature effects. New friendships were formed and other friendships were destroyed and all those events still touch me till this very day. When I watch this film, I see a place and a time that's rich with memories. The actor who played Dr Vialini (evil corporate leader of Talos) has since passed away and I have to tell you that in real life, he was a fun guy who was a joy to work with and I feel sad he's no longer with us in life. I still remember that the producer and director wanted to hire Vincent Price to play that part but were unable to get him for the part because he was in failing health at the time. I can tell you that the connection to the original film 'The Deadly Spawn' is still in this unofficial sequel because the make up artist John Dods who created the monster for that film came in as a guest puppeteer for the mutant dog 'Checkers' just for the fun of it. This was a film that launched many careers for people like me who were just beginners working on this movie. It may be a low budget fun romp of a movie for people who see it today, but it was a tremendous life transforming effort for most people who worked on it. We were all Star Trek and Star Wars and Ray Harryhausen fans living the dream. This film may be flawed and didn't become a tremendous success but, I wouldn't trade the memories made while working on it for any price.

Thank you so much for sharing all of that! One of the big reasons I wanted to do this show was to help bring a bit of light to some movies that may have been forgotten or just didn't reach the right person. Metamorphosis is a prime example of that for me. I totally missed out on it, and probably never would have seen it if it wasn't out looking for "trash". (please remember that I do not use that as a derogatory term!) I'm definitely a sucker for practical special effects, including KY Jelly covered puppets AND stop motion. Good, bad, or whatever quality, if it's in a movie I want to see it! As for "flawed" movies... I think as long as a cast and crew set out to put their heart and soul into a project, even flawed, it'll come through and people in the audience will see it. And internet creepers like me will try to find it and pass it along to our viewers!!!!!

Thank ya, kindly! New stuff every other week!

@@sugarpantsvideobasement I will stay tuned

Well, just for that nice comment, I'll give ya some inside info. I've juuuuust about got all episodes for 2024 done and uploaded. If everything goes well, I'm hoping to have weekly reviews next year!
