From Dusk Til Dawn * FIRST TIME WATCHING * reaction & commentary

That final shot when it's revealed that the place was actually an ancient Aztec temple.... was so satisfying, so perfect. A place where human sacrifices were made, seems like the perfect relax spot for vampires...

A tv movie was made back in 1990 called I'm Dangerous Tonight, involving a cloak worn during sacrifices. B movie, starring Madchen Amick. It's available on dvd or bluray, don't know if it's streaming anywhere. Directed by Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

The main thing about this movie is that it's a great role for Tom Savini, the guy who created the special effects for many of the classic horror movies of the 1980s. He's probably done more than any single individual to shape the look of modern horror movies. You should probably familiarize yourself with the work of Selma Hayak who played the vampire queen Satanico Pandemonium because if you think she was something in this movie, you haven't seen anything yet.

[@jonesey251]

the scene where Seth comes back with the burgers is masterful. Seth is well established as a vicious, hardened, murderer, but when he sees what Richie did he is stopped dead in his tracks, absolutely stunned. We don't need to see what happened, we can read it all in Seth's face.

And he loved every second.

[@BunBun299]

The Sheriff who is killed at the start of this movie is the same actor who played the Sheriff in Kill Bill. This has fed into a fan theory that all Tarantino films share a loose continuity, like the MCU. The theory goes in this film that it's not just the same actor, it's the same character. The massacre at the Wedding Rehearsal took place sometime before the events of this movie, though most of the rest of the events of Kill Bill take place after. You already noticed the connection of the burger joint from Pulp Fiction.

The "crotch gun" Tom Savini/Sex Machine was wearing was a prop that was first shown in Robert Rodriguez's previous movie Desperado. However it was never used probably since it didn't fit with the tone that movie was going for (great movie though with some other creative weapons that I won't spoil because you should really see them yourself when watching the movie) so he brought it back for this one and used it in a couple of his other projects like 20 years later in Machete Kills and the TV series From Dusk Till Dawn.

@@awkwardashleigh YES wonderful film - plus check out Ocean's Eleven for action, wit, and George Clooney

[@NightRanger-lz6tp]

And if she wants to see Clooney in another comedy, she should see One Fine Day. And also Out of Sight.

[@NickGreyden]

omfg I can't WAIT for you to see Tucker and Dale vs Evil!!!!!!!

[@MegaTurkeylips]

Thanks!

[@gog583]

Another horror movie that's a fun ride is "13 Ghosts". "The Innkeepers" is an underrated horror movie that's a bit different, but in a good way, and a fun watch as well. BTW, "The Innkeepers" was filmed in a hotel that reported to be actually haunted. And finally, Depp in "Sleepy Hollow" is a good, fun watch.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

She might enjoy "High Spirits" too.

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

5:00 Do you recognise him from Kill Bill? Same sheriff character played, again, by Michael Parks 11:52 Did you notice that's the same actor who just played the cop who stopped them? Cheech Marin (of Cheech and Chong fame) 13:06 Two Horror legends there, Greg Nicotero (SFX and producer for Walking Dead as well as many movies) and Tom Savini (SFX on TONS of horror movies, was basically George Romero's right hand man.

[@TxSonofLiberty]

Cheech Marin is the border cop, the Titty Twister Barker, and Carlos

[@MrRhunter64]

Lmfao, when you said Tom was George's right hand man, I instantly envisioned Tom handing George somebody's right hand, funny how the mind works. 😂

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Let's also not forget about John Saxon, who played a cop in Nightmare on Elm Street, and a cop in Black Christmas, and in probably a million other parts, plays the cop in the TV interview.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Saxon was also in the Bruce Lee classic Game Of Death.

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

I think that this is the *perfect* Hallowbeans season opener, especially if you're going in blind. I went to see this at the cinema when it was first released and nobody in the group I was with had any idea what was going to happen. Best night at the cinema ever.

[@AustinStarDust]

Your yelling cracked me up! Oh God, watching you react was so funny!

[@DrakeossDragoon]

Funny bit of info Salma Hayek the dancer with the snake apparently she barely remembers filming those parts because she is scared to death of snakes and in order to do the dance with one she had to put herself into an almost trance like state and just dance. All to keep from freaking out over the snake. lol

[@michaelcole8196]

Selma Hayek's debut! Literally here for the dance comments. Did not disappoint.

[@firstenforemost]

Not even close to Salma Hayek's debut.

[@lasmoker67]

She looked amazing in "Desperado"

[@shainewhite2781]

DUDE!!! YES!!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! It's frickin Amazing! One minute it's a heist thriller then the next, it turns into a vampire action horror film! I watched this with my family on VHS, as well as Eraser and Fantastic Voyage. There is a TV series based on the movie that was released on the now defunct El Rey Network that ran from 2015-2017, with 30 episodes. Some of the episodes show the origin of The Gekko Brothers, Richie's Visions and what really happened to Jacob Fuller's wife.

[@gutspraygore]

This was a treat. The movie and the reaction. And, of course, Salma Hayek is gorgeous. Glad someone recommended it!

[@hayatenagano1766]

fun fact. this was actually up to be an episode in Tales from the crypt, however it didnt make the cut to be put in as an episode even thou it was highly considered. so it was made into a movie instead.

[@glenwoodreid5910]

@16:34 Fred Williams or Williamson, "The Hammer" played for KC Chiefs, Oakland Raiders. In alot of films 70s blaxploitation films.

[@SilentBob731]

You know, I was always more of a Beans fan; but Ashleigh is really growing on me with excellent picks like this absolute classic. 👍❤

[@macmcleod1188]

That was a purrfectly catty remark.

[@theman4884]

I definitely prefer this to anything Marvel or Harry Potter.

[@whatsawhizzerwebnovels4927]

Bean's human does get kind of noisy sometimes. Plus she gets in the way like she thinks the show is about her or something.

[@transplantjourney]

great reaction I loved this movie and Selma Hayek's dance was fantastic

[@markwhelan1652]

Selma one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[@nowhereman4217]

Near Dark is a very underrated vampire movie. You should check that one out. Fright Night is good too. Bit campy but great fun

[@theman4884]

The original Fright Night.

[@NTLBagpuss]

Near Dark is my number one vampire movie. You have Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen and Jenette Goldstein all together, Kathryn Bigelow directing. Great pace, great lines, and some wonderful set pieces.

[@Zireael83]

@@NTLBagpuss i love "let the right one in" from 2008 for vampire movies :)

[@stevenguitink5947]

At the time when this film was made, George Clooney was only known for his work on ER. I believe I read somewhere that this film got him taken more seriously as an actor because he was playing against his hunky stereotype.

[@galagajunkie]

I'll never forget seeing this in a second run theater during a sparsely attended late night showing, and several rows ahead of me a couple had brought their two kids who looked to be around 6 and 9ish. Wonder if FDTD gave them nightmares, def not a movie for kids.

[@primepm8861]

I love watching this movie with someone blind to the whole premise. The genuine shock halfway through the movie gets me. Sadly there's very few reactions because almost everybody knows it's about vampires by now! Even the TV previews spoiled it back when it came out!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Honestly, people are less likely to know the vampire twist if they come to it new these days, since they won't have likely seen all the trailers that focused heavily on the second half of the film. Ahh, trailers, spoiling movies since time immemorial.

[@Fraxxxi]

this movie is very special to me. 1. one time I watched it with four friends all huddled up on my bed, which ended up breaking it, but it was a lot of fun 2. for a while it was the only VHS I had in my room and I couldn't be bothered to go out of my room to see my parents so I watched it (as background noise while gaming) like 20 times in two days until I could verbatim quote every single line

[@aaronchang9317]

MIne was VHS but taped off the TV so there were a few little glitches when the ads stopped and started!

[@Yesquire0]

That's a recitation of a good plot summary for a horror movie.

[@Greenwood4727]

the guy playing Se Machine is the one and Only TOM Savini, the god of effects, he has done so many horror movie makups and he has directed a few as well, if Savini is involved the effects will be great

[@MrRezRising]

I daydream of meeting Fluffy from Creepshow one day...

[@McPh1741]

And the guy he stole the beer from is Greg Nicotero. Also a makeup and effects artist and executive producer on “The Walking Dead”

[@NightRanger-lz6tp]

He also did work in Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. He also appeared in Dawn of the Dead as a biker.

[@toob1979]

I saw this one in the theater. What can I say about it but, "F'N AWESOME!" You've got the best of a Tarantino movie combined with the best of a Robert Rodriguez flick. And vampires. May I put a humble request in for _April Fool's Day?_ Either that or _Happy Death Day_ (the 2017 version with Jessica Rothe). I kinda like the trope of making other holidays scary.

[@ryanmuaddib]

This really is more of a vampire action movie than a horror movie.

[@KneeJerkReactions13]

Yes sir!

[@MsKimifer]

Every bone in my body is hoping that Return Of The Living Dead makes it into this Hallowbeens. Don't worry about the first one, it's not even remotely necessary. It's made to stand alone and is the BEST ZOMBIE MOVIE ever made, I stand by that.

[@MrRezRising]

Just rewatched it after a 25 year hiatus. Stands up well, that opening conversation is an uncut 5 min shot (!), and the acting was really good! And it's still hysterical! SEND MORE BRAINS!

[@MsKimifer]

@@MrRezRising DO YOU WANT TO PAAAARRRTTAAY!!

[@huskerchickmissy]

After Hallowbeans you should definitely watch Natural Born Killers and Whip It and I think Juliette Lewis She played Kate will redeem herself. I absolutely love her an shes pretty much a legand.

[@MrPooch1967]

Never enough credit for the music in thos flick. The Blasters, Tito and Terantula, et al, totally set the vibe!! 👍🏻👌🏼💯

[@dead-n3rd]

A lot of now famous actors in this movie. Selma Hyak, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo to name a few. Tom Savini and his team of makeup artists and practical effects designers worked on the props, kills, and vampire prosthetics. Savini even designed the "Crotch Pistol", which required several puppeteers to operate. 1 made the flap drop down, 1 to raise the pistol, 2 to rotate each of the cylinders (1 per cylinder), and 1 to "shoot" the gun.

[@Alicatie]

I’d never seen this before, so decided to watch it this evening… It started off so intriguing and then ended up being absolutely ridiculous 😂 It wasn’t scary in the slightest! I’m surprised it isn’t tagged as a comedy on IMDB

[@1983simi]

i always understood it as dark comedy XD

[@44excalibur]

And Dawn of the Dead.

[@hughjorg4008]

but ALI, now that you have seen Ashleigh react to it, you know exactly what is going to happen in the movie. The surprise has been spoiled.

[@Alicatie]

@@hughjorg4008 no, I saw she was reacting to it so I watched the movie myself first and then watched the reaction 😃

[@connie419]

Yes ALI if you spoiled it…

[@MrRhunter64]

I'm glad you enjoyed this, you'll probably like the sequels as well. You'll absolutely love John Carpenter's Vampires, I hope you get the opportunity to see it if you haven't already. Looking forward to another year of HallowBeans with you and Beans. As always, loved the review, love you and tell Beans hi 👋

[@Mcfly85A]

Vampires is an awesome film and so underrated.

[@ThreadBomb]

Vampires was mediocre at best. Near Dark does the same thing much better.

[@Mcfly85A]

I disagree. I think Vampires is a great film and one of Carpenter's best. James Woods is awesome in it. Although the greatest vampire film,imo,will always be Dracula from 1931.

[@MrRhunter64]

@@ThreadBomb Near Dark was more serious, but Vampires was set with intentional dark humor just as Dusk to Dawn was, that's why I suggested it to Ashley.

[@jessicaross7288]

Oh Ashley - if you think George Clooney is hot, and you like action and wit, you MUST watch Ocean's Eleven.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

There's also Out Of Sight.

[@arcturus6688]

I rented this out back when it came out on video. I, my friend, and my mum watched it. We had no clue it was a vampire movie either.
