I was lucky enough to see this film during its blink-and-you-missed-it theatrical run, and the audience at my local Connecticut grindhouse, a pack of drunks and junkies who were used to all manner of cinematic trash, could not believe what they were seeing as it played.
Rented it probably a week later as an impressionable sixth-grader, so you can imagine my reaction. Couldn't watch Night Court until the 90's when it was in syndication.
Fun fact: The movie was directed by Jay Schlossberg-Cohen, whose other movie - "Cry Wilderness" - was riffed on the most recent season of MST3K. I'd love to see Jonah and the bots riff on this one. But considering all the violence and nudity, sadly, I doubt they'd do it.
I remember buying the film in a collection along with Flesh Eating Mothers, The Nest and Curfew. And I was quite pissed afterwards that I spent money on it.
the full song was one of the sickest groovy solos ever put to strings~ And it's a pity the Dance with Me band got wiped out in the train crash, they were gonna play Idiot Control!
Whenever Brandon get's to Godzilla's Revenge, I hope it's a giant collab with AlextheHunted, Decker Shadow, Dr. Wolfula, Dark Corners Reviews and Gojifan trying to save Brandon's sanity
I've seen Cataclysm before. They added all those weird Claymation demons to this anthology version (and I assume that silly Wasp in Dark Side of Love as well). The deaths are a lot more simple in the original. Although Cameron Mitchell still dies via terrible stock footage explosion in that one too.
Saga Saga you are correct sir. I saw it once from one of those “50 sci-fi movies for $20” packs. I totally forgot Cameron Mitchell was in that though. I did remember Richard Moll and the Dr Mengele / Devil though. Funny they tried to make a strange movie even stranger.
@@cwgodzilla That's where I saw it too, as The Nightmare Never Ends. When I say watched, mind, I meant started. Thank you Saga Saga, for that tidbit about the new stop motion, now I don't have to go back and finish it.
Yeah, I watched the full Gretta movie after watching Night Train to Terror today, and was really shocked at how those scenes were different. Still the same guy getting shocked, but without all the gore!
This is why the 80's was such an interesting time in the history of film. Producers didn't care about anything but making money and doing coke. Story. Coherence...tone...none of that was important as long as you had money and coke 🤔🤣
Well, the last train-ride-from-hell movie you reviewed (Horror Express) was actually pretty scary and enjoyable. And this one is... well, it's enjoyable!
this is the weirdest stop motion I have seen in a long time. the movements are great, but the figures look like they were made by a gradeschooler out of clay. it's still quite neat.
Horror Express. When that was shown on the TV here in the UK, it scared the crap out of my young self. No sleeping without the lights on that night and no mistake! Think it was the white eyes thing that did my nut in. Watched it recently and still found it quite creepy. That haunting whistle in the main theme is, even now, relatively chilling. Although, Telly Savalas' non-existent Russian Cossack accent is superb for balance. I've heard that it was loosely based on the short story Who Goes There? Which became the basis of John Carpenter's remake of The Thing.
Listen to the song lyrics. Remember how parents once thought pop music was the devil's tunes? The phrases 'dance with the devil' (dance with me) and 'the devil makes work for idle hands' (you've got nothing to do).
49 videos in on this binge watch as a new sub and seriously this weird mess of incomprehensibility has done me in - and I LOVE IT! Will watch more now. :)
First, the band at the beginning of the first story IS completely horrifying. Imagine having to sit through eternity (or even an hour) of that... uuughhhh!
Thank you for reviewing this film, this beautiful garbage needs to be seen more, it is bad horror film perfection and in my top 5 anthology horror films
Just stumbled across this movie on Tubi. It’s messed up. I came on YT to see if anyone has done a review on it. I’ve watched quite a few 80s horror movies that are very mediocre, but this one, especially the last segment was truly unsettling
I'm seeing a potato masher, a frying pan flipper, a really long fork, and a ladle. Instruments of torture not on screen include tongs, a whisk, a mixing spoon, a pizza cutter, and an icecream scoop. XD
If you liked this movie you ought to check out Spookies from 1986, that too is frankenstein'd together out of two totally unrelated horror movies, though that one doesn't even try to separate them into small stories.
Was beginning to wonder if this was the inspiration for Blane the Mono from the Dark Tower series. That huge claymation wasp challenge certainly is reminiscent of that giant wasp creature from The Mist film. The one that didn't sting that wacky zealot woman.
@6:47 a spatula, soup ladle, potato masher, couple sauce pans, and i think a strainer in the Richard Moll torture scene..... Was this the original "Hells Kitchen " idea pitch?
I Got This Movie on One of Those Bargain Bin Classics Collection DVD Sets, and When I First Saw it I was Like OMG This Flick is Just Dripping with '80s!
Did any one else hope to see a quick cut scene of Brandon dancing to the opening music video? then back to the music video, then back to Brandon just sitting on his couch looking confused again. No mention of it.. we just imagined it, it never happened..
I know I've just commented but noting your Atari garb, I've just come up with a joke. I say, I say I say, what is a pirates favourite videogame? Answer: Yarrrs Revenge.
I didn't immediately recognize the name of the movie, but the band playing is unforgettable. A friend bought this on dvd, and with a night of bad movie binging we watched it. As soon as the band started playing I lamented, "I'm afraid we will see them a lot.. you don't pay for a song that terrible and not use it"
Just thought I would give a couple good suggestions for the show and if anyone else thinks so hit that like button!!! 1. I come in peace / Dark Angle starring Dolph Lundgren. 1990 2. Maximum Overdrive: the Stephen king movie with Emilio Estevez I love both these bad yet awesome movies...
Thanks for the posting this. Night Train to Terror is probably my favorite bad movie of all time. I love the stop motion effects. Definitely not Harryhausen, but still fun.
How about reviewing "Sundown: the Vampire in retreat"? With Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame among others. Very different from a typical vampire flick.
This movie is easy to explain as the answer is in the title song... 'Everybodys got something to do...Everybody but you!" So sit in your seat and waste away your life.
“Man it’s been a few days. Brandon usually uploads by now. Well whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.” *sees that he’s reviewing “Nigjht Train to Terror” “AAAAAHHH! He did it! He’s finally doing it!” Seriously been waiting a year and a half since I first saw this for Brandon to review it. Worth the wait! This movie is batshit glory, and the review was hilarious. Interesting things about this movie: the writer Phillip Yordan also wrote the original version of the movie that makes up the first segment, which was then later re-edited with an older Jon Phillip Law to include Marilyn Monroe! And he also won an Oscar for writing for the movie “Broken Lance”. And the other movie he and director Jay Schlossberg-Cohen made? Here’s a hint: “Paul! Your father’s in great danger!!!”
Hey, didn't the Asylum For Shut-Ins use footage from this movie?? Man, this is gonna be an interesting anthology to rank. I'd say this is the third best anthology you've done so far, even if it is weird. Here's hoping you review Trick r Treat too. Damn, we've not even gotten into our first short and I'm already digging the framing device. Rock and Roll and God, the Devil and Bob, except without Bob? Alright, let's see which one manages to be the least interesting? The Case of Harry Billings: Wait to start with the one with the weakest effects, movie. Took me a while to figure out that this movie was about TWO evil doctors. Pretty interesting, honestly. The Case of Greta Connors: I hate wasps. As you know in my ranking of the Creepshow shorts, bugs really make for effective horror device. So it's kinda strange how it is only a small part of it. But at least it also has a memorable electrocution scene. The Case of Claire Hansen: Actually I think she's talking about Santa, Brandon. And now I wanna see Santa vs Satan. Thanks.
You’re like a kinder, gentler, non-snobby Cinema Snob!
You’ve got my sub!
Ironically brad isn't that bad irl
Yeah his voice annoys the piss out of me. Anyway dance with me.
Will someone dance with me? Everyone has something to do except for me 😢
"Dance with me! Dance with me!" *Dun dun!* "Dance with me! Dance with me!" *Dun dun!* 🙆♂️💃🕺🙆♀️
I'll dance with ya, just change the song!
I have Phil Collins syndrome. I can't dance.

@@thepassionofthegoose5472 When are those hack frauds at the VHS repair shop going to fix my Nightcourt tape?!
Drunk junkies were probably all just rotating turns to the bathrooms during the whole movie.
Richard Moll is a treasure to any B movie.
He's not as good as King, Bruce Campbell, but he definitely places in the top three.
HAIL TO THE KING BABY
Davey from the Monkees says, “There Is Only One King, and His Name Is SATAN!!!!”
The legend say the band is playing that song until now.
"A giant wasp, that's lame."
2020: "Noted, I'll use giant hornets instead."
Richard Moll is an effective actor. Too bad he doesn’t get roles in better films.
And appeared on an episode of Babylon 5.
He was a rich lady's butler in an episode of Laverne and Shirley...I think that's the first time I saw him.
@MrWesdotcomTwo-Face?! In what?! *Explodes from excitement*

I'd like to see the band in this film go on tour with Dragon Sound
.
Nothing beats the theme from “The Green Slime”.
You mean it's not just something in my head?
the full song was one of the sickest groovy solos ever put to strings~
And it's a pity the Dance with Me band got wiped out in the train crash, they were gonna play Idiot Control!
how has this song and that dance scene never gotten a cutaway gag in Family Guy?
You Can’t Do That On Television...
The Dance with Me song from this movie comes close, though.
I rented this in 1985 in the sixth-grade. Yeah, I'm still recovering.
"The night porter will see to everything". Charlotte Rampling already told me that.
Whenever Brandon get's to Godzilla's Revenge, I hope it's a giant collab with AlextheHunted, Decker Shadow, Dr. Wolfula, Dark Corners Reviews and Gojifan trying to save Brandon's sanity
Deadpoolzilla good point
Dr. Wolfula doesn't really do Godzilla. He likes Godzilla as far as kaiju go
I hate that movie title. It’s so..so misleading
Deadpoolzilla Why Is this not pinned?
Deadpoolzilla that's a cool and amazing idea/point
Sounds like the director had a little too much Night Train.

Now for a Richard. Moll double feature review. 'Metalstorm the destruction of Jared synn'
“And by that it means it gave him a boner”
You’re a genius. Simple. Perfect. I lol’d.
Listen to the song lyrics.
Remember how parents once thought pop music was the devil's tunes?
The phrases 'dance with the devil' (dance with me) and 'the devil makes work for idle hands' (you've got nothing to do).
Bold of Brandon to expect me to not already have that song stuck in my head.:D
The Galaxy Express 999 comment was apropos- it was my first thought when I saw the stars outside the train car window.

"Fake Columbia" - This is why I love this channel!

First, the band at the beginning of the first story IS completely horrifying. Imagine having to sit through eternity (or even an hour) of that... uuughhhh!
Have you tried listening to Lily Allen?

WABUU how did you escape Dingo Films?!
The 80's were strange.
@asian dude this film
I would like to hear your thoughts about "Wyvern"
Had to look up what Richard Moll has been up to since the end of Night Court.
That man's been working steadily ever sense.
Pretty sure this was made before Night Court.
We have God and the Devil, but where's Bob?
LaDracul oh shit i get the reference!😀
Ha
I'm sailing.
ahh that is a blast from the past
I miss that series
This must be the most nuts film that Brandon's ever reviewed! And possibly one of the most nuts films ever made...
@6:48. Apparently instruments of torture also included potato mashers?
Brian O'Connell
Only if you're doing it right.
That’s very scary if you’re a potato!
Don’t forget about the dreaded... ladle....
I'm seeing a potato masher, a frying pan flipper, a really long fork, and a ladle.
Instruments of torture not on screen include tongs, a whisk, a mixing spoon, a pizza cutter, and an icecream scoop. XD
@@pirateraider1708 You ever saw "The Ice Cream Man?" "You gotta try this!" 😂🤣🍦🍧🍨
Cameron Mitchel *and* John Phillip Law...are you sure this isn't Space Mutiny?
23:09 Not even death can keep that guitar player from rocking out....even if it's just random twitches.
You were so right, that damn song is stuck in my head! Damn you Brandon lol
For some reason, I made a guess that this was made in 1985 and I was correct!
i was hoping to hear "DECAPITATIOOOOON" this week. made.my day. i needed that laugh. ty. amd FYI NOTHING beats the ninja song
Looks like a perfect movie for watching when I’m stoned.
When they say, "everybody's got something to do, everybody but you" they're referring to the reason you're watching this movie.
If you liked this movie you ought to check out Spookies from 1986, that too is frankenstein'd together out of two totally unrelated horror movies, though that one doesn't even try to separate them into small stories.

This movie is a hidden gem made of LSD from the looks of it
I think she said, "Defrocked Monk."
Probably, although she wasn't very clear.
Now i have this song in my head again, goddammit
Isn't it better than having the Gamera theme stuck in there?
Gail Lewis I actually go crazy with that Havana song, I hate it but it gets stuck in my head
@6:47 a spatula, soup ladle, potato masher, couple sauce pans, and i think a strainer in the Richard Moll torture scene..... Was this the original "Hells Kitchen " idea pitch?
Your Aunt Ruthie has got some moves!
Something about "Dance With Me" makes me think of Timbuk3. Only thing missing is a harmonica.
But I never found out if someone danced with him!
12:22 He's just taking the squid game approach, this movie was clearly just ahead of its time.
It’s hard to find some of these movies. They are worth looking for, usually...
Holy shit! It's The Architect from the Matrix movies. That dude really gets around.
I've been marathoning your videos and the "PSYCHE!" when the face comes through the window was my favourite of all your uses of it yet.
You just know part of Satan's punishment in Hell is spending eternity listening to that song over and over and over again.
You should do a review of 'Singapore Sling". It's an interesting cult /mystery movie.
The guy playing God was also the wizard opposing Akiro in Conan the Destroyer-Ferdy Mayne
Thank you for the GE 999 reference. I was hoping for it.
I remember this movie. It was a real eye roller, but I cant' say that I was bored. Good review.
Some ideas for you to review:
Shin: Kamen Rider Prologue (Aka Kamen Rider Shin)
White Fire
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Space Thunder Kids
Maybe Do Sleepaway Camp (1983), And Godzilla, King Of The Monsters! (1954/1956)
Teenage Caveman! Six String Samurai! Battlefield Baseball!
Space thunder kids LOL I haven't seen that in years.
I dont think that godzilla vs destroyah would fit because its not really that bad
And for Easter/Passover, review The Abominable Dr. Phibes!
I Got This Movie on One of Those Bargain Bin Classics Collection DVD Sets,

uh........ what the hell just happened? this movie makes me fee like I just lost a few brain cells
Now I'm mostly just interested in your history with Atari. The 2600 was my first console, but looking at you, that seems...unlikely.
Yeah. Mine too brother. Space invaders on your TV! Still remember the magic.

Todd Starlin I remember them, I always wished they’d have made them an actual comic instead of just the ash cans with some cartridges.
@@nvfury13 Actually they did have an Atari Force comic for a time. The series took place several years after the comics with the cartridges.

then back to the music video, then back to Brandon just sitting on his couch looking confused again.
No mention of it.. we just imagined it, it never happened..
Great review! As always
I'm so wonderfully confused by everything happening in this movie.
Just all of it.
terror vision was the one that got stuck in my head the most
Fun bit of trivia that I learned from the Grindbin podcast: the singer of the band is the grandson of the writer, hence his inclusion.
That is not Mr. Satan. Mr. Satan is the Martial Arts Champion of the World who saved us all from Majin Buu!
I know I've just commented but noting your Atari garb, I've just come up with a joke. I say, I say I say, what is a pirates favourite videogame? Answer: Yarrrs Revenge.

That song has been stuck in my head way before this review.
Thanks for the Galaxy Express 999 reference.
Hah! Where's Walter at the arm and a leg joke to say, "Aw, screw you, that was funny!"
Now that song is back in rotation for getting stuck in my head.
This is hands down one of the best things I've seen, first caught it on TCM Underground and it was insane!
15:22 Maybe tattooing 999 on the person could be a way to remember the phone number for the emergancy services if you get into trouble in the UK.
Of all the movies you've reviewed, why is it only this one that's age restricted?
That song has no right being as catchy as it is :=)
Just thought I would give a couple good suggestions for the show and if anyone else thinks so hit that like button!!!
