That is not true. Though the old lady antagonist in this film has a passing resemblance to the Robin Williams character in "Mrs. Doubtfire," the films are actually unrelated.
I don't know what's more amazing the fact that there's a movie called "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating, Crawling, Alien, Subhumanoid, Zombified, Living Dead" or the fact that it has multiple sequels.
It's not an uncommon way for movies to get made - you find production value where you can, especially in low-budget productions - but it's usually not this blatantly lazy.
I actually like this movie. I'm happy they brought back the original title "The House On Tombstone Hill." It's just a fun, haunted-house type of movie with a super-human old lady (granny) killer, who just won't die.
'See? I just learned that that guy probably also owns a ferret.' A ferret would absolutely have improved this movie. No, wait - it would probably have spent its onscreen time failing to open a cat door or something.
I bet, since this was released through Troma, Lloyd Kaufman took one look at it and said "Eh, just stick some random misleading title on the cover. I'm sure someone will rent it".
That seemed to be Troma's MO for a lot of movies that they distributed but didn't actually make. For example, the Japanese release of Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo was retitled to "The Evil Dead Final Chapter" and featured a VHS boxart that's clearly trying to copy the skull from Evil Dead 2's poster.
Dang, with all the doors not opening, made me think of video games. Half expected to see the characters wall into an invisible wall next. 😉😂🤣 But seriously, enjoyed this. Thank you, Brandon.
Side note about SFX make-up artist Ed French: He has a TH-cam channel where he reads (more like performs) classic weird fiction and horror stories, and it’s AWESOME. Search up Edward E. French and have a listen.
Troma! Troma! Troma! Old cheap horror movies are such a unhealthy treat! Also waiting for Redneck Zombies (1987), I can only imagine that Brandon will have to drink a 40 oz of alcohol to get through that.
you think that's low rent you should see HIDE AND CREEP an Alabama zombie movie it's really funny cause the zombies are afraid of the dark in it lol ;3
Thank you for this one. I actually saw this movie playing on TV when I was a kid and somehow kid me found this movie creepy. I wanted to find it but I had no idea what the title was. So it's great you managed to find some closure for me on that!
Watching this, until the old lady showed up, I was thinking this was another old house movie, "Playing for Keeps." This movie is like a horror movie of that, it seems, but with stuck doors.
how about a movie called " THE KILLER REFRIGERATOR FROM OUTER SPACE !!! " with the tag line " IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR RUNNING?... BETTER NOT LET IT CATCH YOU! " * - * lol ;3
This movie reminds me of Bloody New Year. Where you also have the feeling that the makers were able to implement quite good blood effects. But had no plan what the actors should do between these scenes.
I live in a townhouse on a hill across the street from a small local church cemetery. We also have a new landlord every other year. Haven't seen any vengeful spirits, but I'm pretty sure I've heard some.
I'm one of the few that saw this, ages ago when I was a kid, and way before I ever saw Evil Dead. It aired late at night on a local FOX station. I thought it was pretty entertaining at the time... helps when you're not aware of how derivative it is of something greater. Come to think of it, they may have edited down the filler for the broadcast version. Killer granny really creeped me out.
i want to travel to the universe where "dead dudes in the house" was like as it was advertised i seriously wanna see that "house party meets (insert famous slasher movie)" be made real and once again i commented before watching the whole video
I was expecting he would drink and spill the beer because his belly is open but no...they just made a big scene about a zombie/ghost/deadite dude drinking a beer.
15:22 Brutal Legend DECAPITATION!!!!! No, but seriously, this was another brilliant one. The only callback to an actual past episode you make is the subtle Dorm That Dripped Blood riff, even though -- with material like this -- there's a whole constellation of Rock'n'Roll Nightmare/Sorority House Massacre/House/Night of the Demons references that must have suggested themselves!
these last few videos this year have been just as much fun as many of his from the mid 2010's. Either Brandon is getting his second wind, or I'm drinking more. possibly both. Why are all of my favorite shows from Canada?
1:03 If you're curious, "Il ritorno di Gorgo" it's "Son of Godzilla", "Distruggete Kong, la Terra é in pericolo!" it's "Terror of Mechagodzilla" and I think "Il ritorno di Godzilla" it's supposed to be "Mighty peaking man".
when ya cover... "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil Mutant Hellbound flesh Eating Crawling Alien Zombified Subhumanoid Living Dead, Part 5 (2011)" ...tho?
This is actually one of my favorite horror movies, but I also love bad movies... When I was little my mom would freak me out by always just saying "No... No..." in that old lady voice.
Technically the Screen Actors Guild considers a movie feature length at 75 minutes. However the Academy, AFI and BFI all consider 41 minutes the necessary run time. Therefore the people who give those statues would have allowed for the trimming of 54 minutes, and SAG would have let you trim 20 minutes.
Hey, there's a difference between collecting and just having random blades embedded in your drywall so you can put-on impromptu "ninja clinics" for your infrequent guests. This dude was a proto-Mac from "Sunny".
my family had a house in Roseboom new york when I was a kid - went to a garage sale at this exact house like 10 years ago!!! so much antique junk for sale, the owners invited us in and showed us around the first floor, and told us about this movie...finally got around to watching it lol
For how drawn out the scene was at 13:25 and given that his intestines were hanging out, I half expected the unsubtle PBR product placement to poor out from the end of the hanging intestines or something.
Love your videos man . I’m a fellow horror connoisseur. Have you seen the baby , bad Ronald or PIN ? Definitely some must sees if not . Ugh there’s so many good ones I’m constantly looking for more ;)
You would think that seeing the name of the studio behind poultrygeist would ensure some quality. Haven't been this disappointed since Massacre in dinosaur Valley.
Troma isn't exactly known for "quality" and most of the movies they distribute today all look like digital homevideo quality, it looks very amateurish!
@@JW666 well I wasn't exactly talking about high quality. More of a low budget, sleazy, borderline parodies of more traditional horror film quality. Which this film seemed in short supply of. At least compared to stuff like Nuke 'em High.
I haven’t watched you in a bit so I forgot your name so I remembered one of the movies you reviewed “Phantasm” but couldn’t remember the name so I googled weird horror movie with metal ball lol
I had a memory of a movie I watched when I was a kid. That memory was of a man hanging from a window of a 2-story house and yelling for help while this old woman was saying no. I remember him being impaled somehow. I just so happened to come across this on Peacock last night and that scene popped up. I had no idea I watched a Troma movie when I was a kid lol
I did some research online, and there does not appear to be a film entitled "Night of the Living Kennies." Therefore, this film cannot be "Night of the Living Kennies," since there does not appear to be any such film.
@@michaelerickson985 It's a joke. "Kenny" is the name Brandon gives to any annoying kid character, based on the actually named Kenny from the Gamra series. Still pondering, if Brandon reviews any of the Sailor Moon movies will he call ChibiUsa a Kenny or invent a female name version of Kenny just for her ("Kenni"?).
The House On Tombstone Hill: Who thought flipping a home could be so deadly?
Happy Easter Brandon 🐥
Didn't think much of Godzilla vs Kong.it was too similar to Transformers
You should do a review of Night of The Lepus 1972 and Reptilicus 1961
happy easter
Definitely an April Fools joke from the director.
House On Tombstone Hill: When the gamemaster strictly enforces the old AD&D "roll to open doors" rules at all times.
I love AD&D.
The joke is... that there is no joke. Happy April 1rst!
Yeah
Brandon’s idea of an April Fool’s Day joke is bringing back old gags
The twist is.......
You're already dead
"Impossible" -Purple balance man

Well, most of the runtime was taken up by the title, so they had plenty of script to spare.
How about the fact that Brandon hasn't already covered it?
4:52 I think you are exactly right on how this movie got made. It looks like the director found an abandoned house and made the movie from there.
It's not an uncommon way for movies to get made - you find production value where you can, especially in low-budget productions - but it's usually not this blatantly lazy.
Same with Doom Asylum
@@michaelarojasis that a obscure 80’s movie?
Beware the most horrifying obstacle in the history of horror films - stuck doors!
good thing this film didn't take place in California... WD-40 is illegal their!

Again this is still one of the most underrated channels on youtube.
Does the casual sweater guy look like somebody tried to draw the almighty Rick Astley from memory or is it just me?

"If Pamala Voorhees was played by Rand Paul" ... I'm dead 🤣
The "Pamela Voorhees" character in "Friday the 13th" is not played by Rand Paul. Instead, the character is played by Betsy Palmer.

You're not very bright, are you?
'See? I just learned that that guy probably also owns a ferret.'
A ferret would absolutely have improved this movie. No, wait - it would probably have spent its onscreen time failing to open a cat door or something.
But at least its failure to open a cat door would still be more entertaining than the rest of this movie
Now all we need is the ferret getting its head stuck in a toilet paper roll.
Sounds like you have no taste in movies.
Then spent even more time having a freakout about it :=)
That scream at the end would be cool to have as a ringtone. For a day or two.
For April Fools it kind of would.

shit I can't go into this room without the SWORD key lol ;3
@ 6:45 That must have been a long-ass beer run, it's dark when he got back.
15:22 Dissapointed that Brandon didn't use a "DECAPITATION" riff for that.
Unless he got copyrighted for that.

For a second at 4:06, I legit thought you were going to say "I heard that, Curtis!". Can't believe my mind went there.

I agree that would have been nice as well

5:52 This would be a truly awesome horror movie tagline!
how about a movie called
" THE KILLER REFRIGERATOR FROM OUTER SPACE !!! "
with the tag line " IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR RUNNING?... BETTER NOT LET IT CATCH YOU! "

This movie reminds me of Bloody New Year. Where you also have the feeling that the makers were able to implement quite good blood effects.

Just rewatching! All I could remember from the first time found was lots of door action! 😂
I live in a townhouse on a hill across the street from a small local church cemetery. We also have a new landlord every other year. Haven't seen any vengeful spirits, but I'm pretty sure I've heard some.
King Kong vs Godzilla: Point at maps.

A fall.

their is a movie like that it's called CRACKER JACK'ED and it's weird but funny as hell * o *

Huh, I kind of was expecting an April Fools Prank, but hey, nice that it's an actual review.
That was quick, could have swore this was gonna be an April Fool's joke.
FINALLY!!!! I've been waiting FOREVER for you to review this flick!!! LOVE IT!
03:38. The whistle that triggered a terrifying horror in ... THE HOUSE ON TOMBSTONE HILL!!!!
Wait, can whistling even DO anything in horror movies? XD
The Rand Paul joke had both my husband and I say "DAAAYYUUUMMM!!" and break out into laughter.
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
That ferret comment had me rolling!🤣
Love the Little Big Man reference in regards to the "old woman " your vids always make my day
Gotta love how the Godzilla vs Gigan re-upload was blocked by the country.
15:02. That moment when you realize:
The Deadpool 1 writer obviously had inspiration from this scene right here? XD
Who the hell would think destroying a tombstone is a good idea period.
15:22 Brutal Legend DECAPITATION!!!!!

Brandon+ Troma= all my dreams come true.
"I'm pretty sure a draft could kill her" had me cracking up!
Hearing Brandon say not that that's out of the way I couldn't help but laugh. I literally finished it a minute ago.
I’ve never heard of this movie!!! I’m SO excited!
Been watching all your ald stuff. This one pops up and was surprised I missed....until I saw you uploaded it 6 minutes ago. :)

0:43 Wow that seem like a "Garfield and Friends" joke, "Wait, your not Silvia! Your one of the Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage...2!"
Stuck doors, teens in every horror movies' weakness... if they didn't have tools to help them destroy said doors, walls, and windows....
Lol omfg..I remember watching this on VHS in the early 90s as a kid. This is an absolute gem of a shitty so bad its good horror movie..🤣🤣
Most of the scenes are to dark to see what's going on, right?
This was the only way to kill off awful 80s fashions and those who would inflict them on us.
Rabid Grannies anyone, the house architecture is unique, that's something trauma vids had going for it were some cool locations
