October 2024 Spooky Mini Movie Reviews: Week 1

[@oldsurly]

The Peter Graves hair joke was on point :)

[@vadergravy]

Another very charming video. Love your content. Wholesome and sincere. Keep it up!

[@Weiselberry]

@@vadergravy Thank you!

[@markbrooks6979]

Hi JW! Thanks for the spooky reviews. I loved your anecdote about your process of connecting the music in "Virus" to Janis Ian! I am always fascinated at how our minds store so much information that we find those little sparks of recognition.

[@stevendunn264]

Great reviews. I will watch anything esp. Sci-fi and Horror. Some of these I have not seen. Thank you.

[@Hum0ng0us]

1:07 You are the only person who gets to define your Fandom. Like what you like. It's more fun that way.

[@Jumpman67]

If anyone is looking for a kid friendly Halloween movie I recommend an old Ray Bradbury movie called The Halloween Tree. It's animated and from the 90's. I always watch it every year to kick off my Halloween viewings. It's based on a Ray Bradbury book and he is also the narrator in the movie. Leonard Nimoy also voices one of the main characters.

[@yyyfffff33333]

Can't beat a good Hammer horror . My favourite is Dracula Prince of Darkness .

[@Ned_of_the_Hill]

Dear Ms Weiselberry, Welcome to Spooky Month! So far, I've watched "The Mummy" (1932) and "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (it was Ed Wood's centennial on October 10th).

[@enscroggs]

"I'm Talkie Tina, and I don't like you."

[@spacepope69]

Is that a 'Bloody Mallory" reference?

[@Weiselberry]

@@enscroggs One of the classics!

[@enscroggs]

@@Weiselberry This basic premise, an image of a human being made from inanimate material that somehow acquires life, is so ancient and pervasive that it makes one wonder whether the idea has a deep psychological significance..

[@AbrasiousProductions]

the father in that episode deserved his fate, such a hideously abusive man. Talkie Tina was the hero of that episode.

[@LiamMichael-zr1uz]

The fact that you can hear a voice from the virus soundtrack and connect it to the singer from At Seventeen is amazing! :)

[@bonehead2768]

Thanks for an early Halloween gift, Please have a wonderful holiday with your family.

[@winterburden]

Thanks for this neat spooky movie reviews!

[@TheWisestWizards]

I've had Virus on my list for years now and I never tracked it down. I need to get in the habit of checking youtube for movies these days!

"Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day." - The Grey is A very Underrated Movie.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

I think The Grey is an excellent film.It’s quite harrowing and gritty but also has a heart to it and keeps you on edge right to the end.No spoilers,but the rope crossing scene was especially tense.

[@sams5963]

I can't recall having seen any of these movies you talked about, but I always enjoy your content presented by someone with a lovely winning personality and charm. ❤❤🌸🌸

[@mikesadorf]

The Imposter is one of my favorite documentaries, true crime or otherwise! Virus sounds good, thank you for the quality recommendations as always!

[@Weiselberry]

You're welcome!

[@ronnieburton7157]

Another great review, Jerome! I saw SCREAM OF THE WOLF back in 1974 when it first aired and I have always enjoyed it. I love Jo Ann Pflug! VIRUS was dramatically interesting but very depressing. I like Henry Silva but he seems an odd choice to be the military chief of staff. Those are the only two I have seen that you reviewed but that second wolf movie sounds good. Again thanks and have a terrific day!

[@elocrc12341]

great set of reviews. Keep them coming!

[@rsacchi100]

Thanks for sharing. I watched Scream of the Wolf when it first aired. They showed it right after a rerun of The Night Stalker. This seemed a way to have the audience thinking one way.

[@sumo0172]

Thank you for sharing this video. I would describe myself as a horror movie fan and this is a solid selection of old and new spooky movies!

Thanks Miss W. I wolfed these down ! Very enjoyable.

[@vdelrio999]

Always a great video. So beautiful.

[@Bob_Sacamano]

All these great pre-hd era movies made me go and buy a old school tube tele. so much clearer picture than a monitor or a modern tv.

[@grios5530]

I really do use your reviews to figure out new old stuff to watch.

[@Weiselberry]

That's great! :D

[@ron_91260]

The wolf films reminded me of a 1981 film "Wolfen" with Albert Finney. It was a major motion picture that the studio gave up on since it wasn't terribly scary, but I really liked it. Nice job! Now I want to see "The Imposter."

[@Donna230]

I will be looking for some of these. First, Terror Beneath the Sea.

[@JohnMartin-ys1kn]

Thanks for the update.

[@PaintDryPictures]

Hey, Jerome. Here’s what I watched in October so far, even though two of these titles are not horror-themed. 1. Psycho (1960) …. On 4K UHD 2. Mean Girls (2004) …. In theaters 3. Joker: Folie a DUD …. In theaters 4. Psycho II …. On 4K UHD 5. Psycho III …. On 4K UHD 6. Psycho IV: The Beginning …. On 4K UHD I plan to watch more “monster” themed movies for the rest of the month. Great video, J. Looking forward to the next mini-reviews!

[@rustedbeetle]

There was a Netflix series named The Fall of the House of Usher from last October, and while I found it quite engaging, I think it's one you will want to pass on. The series includes many ideas from several Poe stories, not just Usher, and I found that kept me further engaged noting when elements of other stories or poems were efficiently rolled into the narrative. Good job with the Janice Ian link. I have prosopagnosia, and often recognize actors by their voice long before their face. I get the same, "Where have I heard that voice before" feeling that often ends in a web search.

[@shimtest]

The Fall of the House of Usher was beautiful. More like an hour long moving painting

[@josephmayo3253]

Good reviews JW.

[@johnw706]

Watched 'bucket of blood" yesterday after seeing your review. I thought it was really good

[@Weiselberry]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jaykay01]

Great reviews! I love hearing your take on these films, especially as you say, you're not a great fan of the genre.

[@davegaracci1043]

You've got to be my favorite movie reviewer roghr now. So nice to hear from someone else that isn't a fan of the genre, but still likes a few of them, mostly not the horribly disgusting ones. I pretty much stopped watching horror, as they all suffer from the same issues imo. Keep them coming!

[@donkelley7407]

Hello J. Wow, lots of movies in a short timespan. I like a good spooky/suspenseful film now and then. I do shy away from vampires and werewolves, and don't care for too much blood/guts/swearing. A tiny portion of a song stuck in your brain, and can't place it? Join the club! Two years ago that was me, trying to figure out a Rush tune from a small snippet of lyrics and some mysterious music from distant lands. (It was Tom Sawyer.) AI, yes. I used to enjoy using Bing at work but now it's AI Central. Nothing makes my heart sink like a robot helpfully typing a long AI answer to my simple question. I may check out M3gan based on your review, looks delightfully creepy. Thanks for these, enjoy the nice fall colors.

[@Weiselberry]

Ugh, yes, Bing was my go-to search engine as well until they started pushing their AI so hard. Unfortunately, everybody seems to have hopped on that bandwagon. I went back to Google as my default, and while there are many things I dislike and distrust about them, they haven't been pushing the AI answers quite as aggressively... so far.

[@JEFFIE-jp6kj]

VIRUS is definitely a genre film .. loved it

[@tonymart105]

This is besides the point, but I'm always startled when your outfit suddenly changes. Not exactly a "scare", but I do enjoy those moments.

[@thatguyinelnorte]

Always a joy.

[@ygstuff4898]

Thanks for the spooks, JW. And it's weekend of Thanksgiving in Canada (Oct 14), so happy turkey day to you & family...and everyone reading this.

[@Weiselberry]

Oh yeah, happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians watching!

[@trendtrader4010]

Great reviews

[@justinplayfair4638]

Was happily surprised by the Virus inclusion Jerome! My initial encounter with it was the US cut, so the longer international cut was a revelation. I love Henry Silva but his maniacal general certainly takes me out of the movie! The scenes with our Japanese heroine awaking in the devastated hospital, and the scenes with her directly after, are easily the most haunting. It’s kind of a mixed bag movie but an enjoyable one, and I’m glad you found it worthy!

[@reader1956]

I've never heard of the silent "Fall of the House of Usher". I'll have to check it out.

[@Vlad65WFPReviews]

Another fun session - with a rather long Janis Ian segue. Keep 'em coming, Jerome.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

I enjoyed your analysis of these films most of which I have seen. When it comes to horror I much prefer psychological horrors as I believe that it takes more skill and they tend to leave more of an impact. One of my favourites is, 'The Innocents' from 1961 starring amongst others Deborah Kerr, and more recently 'The Others' from 2001, it's films like this which I like or the more gothic offerings from Roger Corman, Hammer and Universal studios.

[@rickcantrell5302]

Week One was fun! I thought I was going to make it through without having seen a single one of the films you picked, but then. - M3GAN, which wasn't a great movie, but I enjoyed it anyway. I just watched Burn, Witch, Burn (1962), based on Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber. It was quite good but does center on witchcraft. I'm going to try to track down The Frozen Dead with Dana Andrews (Crack in the World), which one of the other commenters mentioned. I loved that as a kid. And I might rewatch Horror of Dracula, still my favorite vampire movie. Of course, I don't actually watch the new ones, as they are too gross. Thanks for the mini-reviews. Looking forward to the next batches!

[@Weiselberry]

Nice! I give Horror of Dracula a rewatch every few years. By far, it's my favorite of the Hammer vampire films. I talked about The Frozen Dead in this video a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/larahImIjduZiKM If you find it, I hope you enjoy it!

[@buzzawuzza3743]

Gore alone never does it for me either, Miss Weiselberry, much better to have a really scary thriller that makes you think.

[@davidearls1926]

For a Halloween Movie, I watched "The Gorgon“. This Hammer Production starts Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It is set in Victorian Period Germany. Made in the 1960's, I remember watching it as a Movie Matinee when I was a kid. Another recommendation is another movie called Spectral staring Bruce Greenwood. It is pretty scary set in Moldavia in current times. It is about creatures that pass through you and kill you instantly. Thank you for your show. I look forward to each episode. I am 73, and my family has a hobby that while watching a movie, we try to tell each other how many other movies they have been in. This goes for major or secondary roles. Again, Thank you.

[@Weiselberry]

Sounds like a fun game! I saw The Gorgon several years ago. It was different from what I'd expected, but I liked it.

[@DanKyrke]

Thanks for the mini-reviews. The only one from this list that I've seen is M3GAN, both the theatrical and unrated versions. It's not very scary but it's a lot of fun.

[@williamblakehall5566]

It always seemed to me that The Grey was sold more as a survival movie than a horror one -- although survival can be horrific. Congratulations on the Janis Ian ID! Someday I may want to treat myself to an Allison Williams film festival. Thank you, Rome -- owl be seeing you.

[@Weiselberry]

Oh, it definitely is a survival movie and was marketed as such. But the way the man vs. beast angle is done makes it a good quasi-horror movie as well.

[@Maiden...24FM]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN JEROME🎃

[@wmbriggz]

Your Scream of the wolf review reminded me of Skyjacked 1972… as I got James brolin mixed up with Clint walker…oh well…. Perhaps because I’ve never been overly impressed by their acting skills and choice of movies-- of course, on the other hand, both stayed employed….so what do I know … always enjoy your work.

[@robharrison8139]

Is it weird that I was literally yelling "At Seventeen!! Janis Ian!!" to the screen, as if you could hear me? Cuz that's exactly what I did

[@Indigocell]

You can absolutely be a selective fan of horror. No obligation to enjoy the parts you don't enjoy. For instance, I tend to avoid slasher movies, or anything to do with cannibalism. That's a lot of them too.

[@earthcreature5824]

I am a gorehound. Just watched Terrifier 3 and Maxxxine. But I equally love the more restrained terrors. There was very little graphic content in the horrors of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. And yet they dripped with striking atmosphere and imagery. The exploding heads of Dawn of the Dead 1978 and Scanners 1981. Or the unmasking of The Phantom 1925 and The Wolfman 1941 stalking a foggy forest. All good to me. The Grey is good. I enjoy movies set in nature. There was a part that strained credibility, but it mostly stayed grounded. I like director Joe Carnahan. Smokin' Aces 2007 and Copshop 2021are personal picks. M3GAN is The Terminator for tweens. The girl portrayed grief well. The aunt. I don't get. She just lost her sister, which would be devastating and yet she seems more concerned about her work commitments. I'll be there for M3GAN 2.0 in 2025. Thank you.

[@davidgianatasio5747]

You might check out Destination Inner Space from 1966. With Scott Brady. It’s like an undersea version of Alien. Or a cheaper Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode, but with some bloody scenes for the time.

[@johnpjones182]

The cast includes Sheree North, Wende Wagner (from the Green Hornet TV show) and Mike Road (the voice of Race Bannen on "Jonny Quest"!).

[@13down13]

Not sure if you were referring to me when you talked about Virus. I was talking about this movie in another video of yours for some reason that I can't recall now. You can buy the full version, but it's hard to find - found out that one DVD advertised that it was the full version, but it was also the short one. You didn't mention the one scene which I know that I previously "warned" you about - although it looks like one of your stills was from this scene. I like the movie overall, but this scene hurt my appreciation. And that was when they were talking about the continuing of the human race through procreation. I understand this is a legitimate thing to talk about in a world ending/building scenario; however, they were making it out like they didn't have a choice. By the way, the long version is essential viewing if one is to watch this film. I also have Terror Beneath the Sea as a movie that I want to see eventually. I noticed it because of Peggy Neal, who was also in The X from Outer Space which I have seen. I'm usually curious as how these English speaking actors get involved with these movies made in Japan.

[@kevinogracia1615]

10:50 The song I believe you're searching for is "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian. Damn... You caught me before I could be cool. "The Imposter" is kinda weird... Because it's like a convoluted "The Changeling." Happy Halloween and Peace on earth.

[@joylederman4501]

You're right about true crime stories being horrifying. I was on a KZbin kick watching those for several evenings recently. I will never again trust a devoted father or preacher!...Just one more Supporter and my name will move to your second page 😊...congrats!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Happy October, JW...👍

[@orinanime]

5:35 I was actually typing a comment to make sure you watched after the credits as you started talking about that exact thing.

[@dansmith3085]

I think you might have covered it before, but Peter Graves stars in "Where Have the People Gone?" , a TV movie from 1974. It's on KZbin - in somewhat uneven quality.

[@Weiselberry]

Yes, I did a review of Where Have All the People Gone? back in 2019: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p36lhqaCe7yKebc I forgot about that one!

[@ErrolConner-p8p]

Jerome, I remember seeing " Scream Of The Wolf " in January of 1974. ABC ran it as a " Movie Of The Week " with the original " The Night Stalker " as a lead in to build an audience. Won't do any spoilers, but for us young ones who were expecting the action/Horror of " The Night Stalker " ?...we were disappointed. Others may really enjoy it. Just not Dan Curtis at his best.

[@dragon-ly2xf]

Here's some new Spooky Movie news you might like: GODZILLA MINUS ONE---to celebrate Godzilla's 70th anniversary, the Academy Award-winning movie will return to AMC Theatres on November 1 with 13 minutes of new bonus content.

[@Weiselberry]

Oh, that's interesting. Thirteen minutes seems a lot, considering the original theatrical cut is already longer than your average Toho Godzilla movie.

[@hermunkulus]

The Grey is so underrated.

[@alandhopewell]

That was Janis Ian; check out her SOCIETY'S CHILD. Good to see you. I haven't seen the silent HOUSE OF USHER, but it looks interesting.

[@craigwright1867]

Janis Ian's At Seventeen is great, it always reminds a little of Don MClean's Vincent as they're more akin to poetry set to music rather than just a song. Another of her recordings that I really like is the song Fly too High, which was released in 1979, but it's totally different as it's a sort of Disco tune. I was interested to know what you deem to be occult movies though, is it movies such as The Omen, Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist? I would say they definitely are, but then there are others including The Devil Rides Out, Race With The Devil and The Mephisto Waltz which could also be classified in that way, but to me feel very different Race With The Devil is an actioner starring Peter Fonda and Warren Oates that basically uses the occult as a premise to start the narrative off. Anyway, I'm going to check out Virus, as I'm quite keen on films of that nature too and it's the first time I've come across it.

[@michaelbryan1882]

Fun fact: Janis Ian is active on Facebook and she used to regularly post Godzilla haikus.

[@Ravenscroft82]

Happy October! I had a question regarding your comment about occult themed films. I TOTALLY respect your decision to avoid these, but I wondered if you could give an example of one you'd pass on. I only ask so I would have an idea of what things to avoid suggesting in the future; I''m thinking I don't watch a lot of these either, but just to be sure. Enjoyed your reviews, as usual! P.S. A.I. scares me, too; a lot.

[@Weiselberry]

Sure, I can give you a specific list of things I prefer to avoid, but rest assured that I'm not offended when someone recommends a film with any of these elements. I get all kinds of suggestions, and I figure it's up to me to do my own homework by checking the parents guide on IMDb, which helps me decide if I want to move forward with a film or not. Content I prefer to avoid includes demonic possession, devil worship, satanic imagery, witchcraft, seances, mediums, and ouija boards. So, yes, cinematic giants like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby are out, as well as many of the more popular horror movies of the last couple years, such as Hereditary, The Witch, Midsommar, Late Night with the Devil, and Longlegs. I'm also iffy on supernatural/paranormal stuff with ghosts and haunted houses and evil things. Some I'm okay with. Others I skip. I should note that there are certainly films I've watched and enjoyed that had one or two of these elements. For example, I really like The Black Cat (1934), in which Boris Karloff leads a satanic cult, and I still love the 2006 adaptation of Jane Eyre even though they added a scene with a ouija board. I don't like it, but I don't avoid the miniseries just because of it. I hope that was helpful!

[@Ravenscroft82]

@@Weiselberry it was, thank you! And I agree about The Black Cat; it's one of my favorite classics, in no small part because I love seeing Bela as the "good guy" (kind of) for once. I do consider myself a genre fan, but I greatly prefer the older stuff. Horror from the 1980s forward or so has been...iffy to say the least, and I'm pretty jaded on modern horror. I can't ever seem to connect with the characters and the emphasis is too much on gore. I appreciate your detailed response and am definitely looking forward to more of your seasonal offerings this year!

[@cheapcinemachannel4548]

I want to see 'Virus' and appreciate the handy link. I saw M3GAN back when it was in theaters. I thought it was pretty good but probably too comedic. I generally like spooky movies to play it straight. Don't know if you've ever reviewed it, but one of my favorites to watch in October is 'Carnival of Souls' (1962).

[@Weiselberry]

Somebody got a haircut, Somebody got a, ...

[@andrewpragasam]

The creepiest thing about The Imposter is how it replicates the manipulation of its odious protagonist. You start the movie wondering how anyone could have fallen for his chicanery until the third act twist wherein he cons you, the viewer! I find that really unsettling.

[@enscroggs]

The only horror film that actually plays on my sense of existential dread is 1963's "The Haunting", starring Julie harris and Claire Bloom. I've seen it many times, and it never ceases to creep me out. I can't say it's a Haloween favorite because it's far too real and far too disturbing for such a frivolous observance as 10/31. The 1999 remake is rubbish, BTW.

[@robertmunoz3113]

Greetings, Mizz Jerome! Hey! You cut your hair. *Ponders* Looks good, Jerry! *Thumbs up* Unfortunately for me, the last couple of months have been...busy. So the number of movies I've watched since July fall between jack and squat. I did, however, watch the remake of Shogun last month, which was quite good. I'd say the only major flaw was Cosmo Jarvis. Terribly miscast. Looks like a guy that just wandered on to the set and someone asked, "Hey, buddy! Wanna be on teevee?!?" That said, I enjoyed the show a great deal. Too bad it looks like they intend on ruining it by continuing the story. Shame. Anywho, I have seen exactly none of these movies but I definitely want to see Fall Of The House Of Usher. It's only about an hour? I think I might be able to make time for it. Thanks again, Mizz Jerome, for sharing your thoughts again. God bless.

[@imilliemedina666]

Surveillance with Armand Assante is interesting but has a cop-out ending, still worth a view. Jeepers Creepers and JC2 with Ray Wise are pretty good. House of 1,000 Corpses has its fans.

[@varanid9]

I remember seeing "Scream of the Wolf" back when it first aired on TV and found it lame, but it was a good story and I think it would make a great subject for a GOOD remake. Which pretty much means by someone other than modern Hollywood.

[@Dench999or911]

Irrelevant fact: Janis Ian performed "At Seventeen" on the debut episode of Saturday Night Live.

[@tomjohnson4922]

You changed shirts! I watched an old British sci-fi horror today- The Strange World of Planet X, it was okay. Oh and I noticed Paramount + has Overlord when I was over watching Resident Evil. Not sure if you would like that movie. I don't mind some gore/nudity as I'm huge into Friday the 13th, but things like Terrifier I'll skip.

[@janeotoole2037]

I am not a fan of profanity or the occult, those are automatic clicks for me. But I love silent movies and followed the link to House of Usher. I had never heard of Jean Epstein, but his avant guard style might have influence Jean Cocteau, that's what this film reminded me of, anyway. And the repeated shots in the house of the long hallway with the curtains blowing with the wind was borrowed for sure by future horror filmakers Paul Leni (Cat and the Canary) and James Whale (The Old Dark House). Thanks for recommending House of Usher! There's a fun episode of Rod Sterling's Night Gallery about someone who may not be quite dead called The Dead Man that's sooooo good! You should check it out if you haven't seen it.

[@Weiselberry]

Yes, I was strongly reminded of Leni's direction in The Cat and the Canary during the hallway shots as well. I'm so glad you enjoyed the film!

[@TheGodfather1955]

I personally prefer the more effective older black and white horror movies from the Hays Code era. More creepier and more fun with less unnecessary gore.

[@rivards1]

I hope you get a chance to check out the 1931 "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" with Fredric March!

Have you seen Bram Stoker's Dracula by Coppola? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it as a classic monster movie appreciator.

[@johnpjones182]

Have you seen "Eye of the Devil"? A 1967 black & white thriller with David Niven, Deborah Kerr & Sharon Tate that deals with Ancient Pagan Rituals in present day France. It's a favorite of mine. And "The Frozen Dead", '65, with Dana Andrews as a German scientist thawing out frozen Nazi officers (including Edward Fox) and keeping a young woman's decapitated head alive on a table (not to be confused with "The Head that Wouldn't Die"!). Love the '60's!!

[@Weiselberry]

I watched and reviewed The Frozen Dead a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/larahImIjduZiKM I liked it, despite its goofy moments. No, I haven't seen Eye of the Devil, and considering the pagan rituals angle, I'll probably skip it.

[@johnpjones182]

@@Weiselberry Speaking of which (paganism), sorta, I watched Coppola's Dracula for the 1st time in ages today. Great images, but after 90 minutes I was waiting for it to end already! Way too long & not that unique a revision of the familiar story. I'll take Lugosi & Dwight Frye over this any day.

[@joelkweskin8545]

JW -- You want a good, scary film recommendation? No blood, no gore, no monsters. But positively one of the most suspenseful, creepiest, provocative and -- apropos what's going on today with tensions in the Middle East, China and Russia...and even A.I. -- timely films, though released in 1964: "Fail Safe." The original with Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau. The claustrophobic direction and plot line are the things of nightmares. And to think it could all, God Forbid, come true...

[@Weiselberry]

I've seen Fail Safe a few times. I haven't reviewed it, but I did talk about an adaptation that aired live in 2000 a couple years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKa7Y36sn6ibg6c

[@joelkweskin8545]

[@lbgherkin]

Seeing the couple of seventies horror TV movies you started with reminded me of one of the best of the breed: SOMETHING EVIL (1972). Directed by a very young Steven Spielberg, when he was cutting his teeth on 90-minute ABC Movies of the Week (the more memorable effort in that direction was DUEL, which is terrific). SOMETHING EVIL is a solid little chiller with a strong 70's cast -- Sandy Dennis, Darren McGavin, and Ralph Bellamy -- and well worth a watch for Spooky Season. Unless you've covered it already. in which case never mind and Happy Samhain!

Remember silent movies were never truly silent. They had either by a orchestra or organ live score. May i recommend The Night Of The Demon as a good Halloween movie.

Sorry. I meant Curse Of The Demon.
