RiffTrax: Hillbillys In A Haunted House (Full FREE Riff)

[@Westing-er3fb]

I like how at the beginning they say it's going to rain any minute and then it never actually rains the entire movie.

[@zarasbazaar]

And they're so eager to get inside before it rains, but not that eager to put the top up on the convertible.

[@gpfoster1966]

Not to mention the fact that there isn't a cloud in the sky, and there's bright sunshine. The thunderclaps seem just a bit out of place!

[@gaywizard2000]

And it looks filmed in LA at 80 degrees!

[@ivarsig]

Hey, you think they've got the budget for a water guy?

[@kammerdude4928]

It does rain at 8:44. Its a fraction of a second, so its understandable that you would miss it. The film is still bad, though.

[@EstebanGunn]

Both MST3k and RiffTrax have given us more entertainment than our lives can handle.

How the Academy gave "In the Heat of the Night" the Best Picture Oscar instead of this gem will forever be one of the unexplained mysteries of life.

Tough call. On one hand, you have Sidney Poitier. On the other, you have Jeepers. Hmmmm....

[@jeffglenellis]

@@juicyfruit6311 Imagine how good ITHOTN could have been if they'd had Jeepers as well. Given the location and subject matter, he could have worn the same hat in both.

[@notme222]

I never thought I'd say it, but this script makes Troll 2 look like a brilliant masterpiece.

[@LoranAlanDavis]

This film was actually a sequel to a 1966 film called The Las Vegas Hillbillys, with Mamie Van Doren playing Boots Malone. Ferlin Husky also starred in that one along with Jayne Mansfield and Richard Kiel!

[@ajs3994]

Oh Mamie Van Doren, I can see the nipple - I mean resemblance.

@@laurallewien2165 - Hi Laural! Hope you are well.

Jeepers has the kind of nervous energy chihuahuas aspire to.

This movie is like an episode of Scooby-Doo, if you replaced everybody with Scrappy.

This movie predates scooby doo by two years. I legit wonder if it inspired the show...

Why not? The actual movie without the riffing plays like a bad episode of The Hillbilly Bears!

This is like a crossover between 2 shows that never existed

I never knew that if you sing in a convertible while it's traveling down the highway, it sounds just like you are in an echo chamber.

the non Riff version of this is on KZbin and popped into my feed. If you're thinking this seems like a short film it's cause the uncut version pads this thing out with another 25-30 mins of them AT THE JAMBOREE doing nothing but singing more songs to end the movie.

Love the cameo from the Satellite of Love in the intro.

Apparently it blended up everything that was good about those series and just gave us the campy cheesy parts.

[@minxstole93]

But drained out all the things that made those shows watchable.

[@graemesmith6721]

It's more like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. meets The Beverly Hillbillies and Scooby Doo. The spies at the beginning look like THRUSH agents with their suits and fedoras, and the acronym M.O.T.H.E.R. for the good guy intelligence organization is clearly a take-off of U.N.C.L.E.
