They watch Spaceballs during Spaceballs  TeddyR

Also one of the Halloween movies (part 4?  5?) has :20 Minute Workout playing on the TV in the hospital in the beginning.

I think it was Forbidden Planet in Halloween.

Patrick Bateman watched The Texas Chainsaws Massacre in American Psycho
only watched this recently. everything about the movie is so different to how I interpreted the book I wasn't sure if they were deliberately trying to make something which was like the exact opposite of the book? decent effort anyway I guess, much prefer the book though.

They watch TOP HAT (1935) in the GREEN MILE (1999)-not on TV,though.
I guess if it's on a cinema screen or whatever then it counts too...

I just read a great interview with the Director in Rue Morgue and really gives a good insight of where they were coming from with the film. They really focused on the dark humour, which I think works. I really like both movie and book, but inn different ways. I've not really like many other of Bret Easton Ellis' other film adaptations though. I would love for someone to make s great version of Glamorama

I think it was Forbidden Planet in Halloween.

I recall that too! the weird music was FORBIDDEN PLANET!
IMBD says the THING-I recall FORBIDDEN PLANET.
and-IT IS!
 Fast forward to 53:18- yup!

yes-this is in French-the only way I could find the full movie online.

But at the start of the movie-it does show the THING title for the movie the kids are watching!

They are watching a horror movie marathon in Halloween (1978) during which footage from both Forbidden Planet and The Thing (1951) were shown. Definitely both...they show the scene where they form the shape of the UFO under the ice from the Thing too.

The Kids in Halloween are watching the original The Thing.

Mmm...  I'd have to look at it again to see if there is also a clip from THE THING which sounds right... the opening...

I'm pretty sure Blood Cult was watched during a scene in The Ripper (1985). Now THAT'S horrifying.  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
