(BP) Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 My wife used to manage a Spirit, she’ll get a kick of this. They only put out a press release announcing the movie a couple of months ago, so my working theory is that it was shot under a different title centered on a generic Halloween store, then they got the licensing rights for Spirit and did some post production fuckery to include it. Christopher Lloyd is the ultimate children’s horror icon if there ever was one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a screening of Captain America 89 when Albert was pimping his Director's-cut ...... which means nearly a decade ago. Jesus. ..... and he was there for a Q&A session. Unfortunately that portion of the presentation wasn't adequately advertised so no one was ready for him which was a bit of a missed opportunity. Seemed very open and likable though. He was also rocking a backpack the whole time with thumbs hooked underneath the straps. My overall impression was this is a guy that you could talk movies and books and comics with for hours and the conversation would never flag. Sad to hear about his current condition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am perfectly fine with the role of the hot mom being played by Rachael Lee Cook as I am a man of that certain age. Edited August 11, 2022 by J.T.

Eivion Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I caught Day Shift a couple of nights ago. It was not good but was enjoyable enough. Probably could have used a little more Snoop, and at least one of the characters needed a little more build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Day Shift was stupid but entertaining. I actually kind of dug the vampire lore they introduced in that universe. Going into it I assumed it was supposed to be a sequel to Night Teeth, or at least set in the same universe, but couldn't find any connections or mentions that they're in any way related. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Research question for the horror aficionados: Can you think of a spy/heist film that has a horror component, hopefully vampire related? I may need a episode of the pod for October with a Dracula/vampire theme . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, Dracula 2000 is about a team of thieves who accidentally unleash him by stealing his coffin during a heist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) There was a movie that came out around 2006 or something called Dead Heist about bank robbers and cops joining forces to fight off a vampire zombie horde. It is a lost so-bad-it-might-be good gem of African-American hip hop horror featuring Big Daddy Kane, Bonecrusher, and Thunderbird Dinwiddie. The obvious answer might be From Dusk Til Dawn, but there is no robbery in progress. The Geckos are on the run with the loot from their strongarm robbery and then vampires. I can't think of any espionage movies that are vampire-centric. There are more horror westerns than there are horror spy movies. (BP) is on point. Dracula 2000 is indeed about a robbery of an antique shop owned by a descendant of Abraham Van Helsing that goes bad in the worst possible way. Edited August 17, 2022 by J.T.

odessasteps Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I thought about From Dusk Til Dawn, but figured it might be fall back choice if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 If you are just looking for horror movies with a heist component, I think the sequel of the reboot of The House on Horror Hill had some sort of kidnapping element and armed thieves going into the titular haunted house to steal some sort of demonic artifact and then naturally shit goes sideways really fast.

odessasteps Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I'm trying to find stuff that fits the remit of the pod (spy or heist) with something that would be Halloween appropriate. But I have plenty of time to look for choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
