Don Coscarelli

Lee quite enjoyed Incident On and Off a Mountain Road as a good opener. Adam calls another Coscarelli film, a fairly straightforward slasher, the least Coscarelli thing he has seen. Adam says Phantasm was a genuinely independent production, part-funded by Coscarelli's dad. He also says you begin to feel Coscarelli loves a Western.

In their own words

• Adam One one of whom's in he's the ruler in John dies at the end, another Don Coscarelli film that we've covered. Again, Don Coscarelli, batshit crazy films. And yeah, and he's also Grandpa Munster in the Rob Zombie Monsters.

  Ep 231 Bubba Ho-Tep

• Lee It is, it's one of those, if you just told somebody that. I mean, I think I did, I think Adam when this was first going to come out, I think you told me new Don Coscarelli film is coming out, this is the story. And I was like, well, I don't think I've ever been so excited for a movie. This really.

  Ep 231 Bubba Ho-Tep

• Lee Don Coscarelli one. Which, yeah, I mean, I quite enjoyed. It was a good opener.

  We have been watching Bonus Episode

• Adam Possibly undead guy who takes her back to his cabin and he's got like he's basically going to kill her and then she turns it round and kills him. It's it's it's not it's it's sort of, you know, it's a pretty sort of bog standard slasher almost as as it sounds. It certainly is the least Don Coscarelli thing I've seen. If you see what I mean, is that it doesn't so it's it's a fairly straightforward narrative rather than. Oh this is popping up in it or this theory is coming to it or this narrative weirdness or whatever.

  Ep 231 Bubba Ho-Tep

• Adam That's how they do all those like the thing zooming down the corridor. It's literally that basic, it's a guy throwing it. Because it's like Don Coscarelli's third film and he's like about 22 or whatever when they started making it. And they filmed it over two years, but it's a genuinely independent production. Like his dad's stomped up some of the money. His mom is credited under pseudonyms throughout the cast throughout the credits list, because they didn't want the name Coscarelli appearing so many times in the, you know, like Garth Morringy, music by Garth Morringy. You know. And because his mom was doing visual effects and costumes and makeup and stuff like that and.

  Ep 232 Phantasm

• Adam yeah. And they decide to follow him. And basically it's also this really lovely, brings it a really lovely creepy Western thing to it, because I'm you're beginning to get the feeling that Don Coscarelli loves a Western, especially after Bubba Ho-Tep. But, you know, watching these, they they have that because there's lots of ghost towns. Because they go to places where the tall man's been and he just it just rips the heart out of the place.

  Ep 232 Phantasm

• Lee so we started off the very first episode, which is incident on and off the mountain road.
