The Haunting (1963)
“It ought to be burned down … and the ground sowed with salt.”
A source of early Skinny Puppy samples. A guy invites a select group of people to stay in an old house and decide if it is actually haunted or not. I found it very enjoyable Its a 2.5/5.
Spookies (1986)
Theres basically 2 films here. The scenes originally shot by the producers, crew, cast etc…and called Twisted Souls, and the scenes shot after the films financier fired them all and decided to complete the film himself. Easier to just quote the Wikipedia page for Spookies
I’m not sure the film would have been good had it been completed as intended, or if it had been fully produced by the financier, but the end result we do have is pretty crazy. I like all the monster costumes and effects. The 1985 stuff is just a mind boggling. Not intentionally as funny and enjoyable as it ended up being, it’s a weird mess. Farting zombies. 2/5.
