RIFFTRAX: CARNIVAL OF SOULS: Some will think riffing this is sacrilege, and I'm sympathetic. This is a terrible way to view this movie for the first time, or even the second or third. After that, when you know the story pretty well, the idea of inserting jokes into it stings less. It's one of the earlier rifftraxs, and they haven't really found their voice yet: there are some extended skits that are a bad idea. When they make jokes about the organ score or the pervy guy, it works; when they make jokes implying the movie is tedious or mocking Candace Hilligoss' performance, they come off as boorish. 3/5. As far as I can tell this is the third best movie RT has ever taken on, after CASABLANCA and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

I don't see the point of RiffTrax. I was trying to watch one called Robot Wars and it had J Downing from Ghoulies 2 in it. And whatever the movie was there were Asians there as part of like some Weyland Yutani sort of hierarchy thing. Or overseeing operations. One of the guys was Yuji Okumoto. So all things equal. Whatever make fun of the people on the lousy film. Both the anglo guys in the corny uniforms with the corny lines and the Asians. The so called RiffTrax geniuses just totally shut their yappers everytime the asians were on. Sometimes when the asians were on and having a lot of dialogue they would be quiet (the RiffTrax guys) and then finally say something belittling to or at one of the anglo guys. Even when the Anglo guy wasn't saying anything. Like just there on screen. And uh, we have to say something.

I called those guys out as bums. I know who am I. And I know tread lightly with what I said. But its like you gotta find allies out here. I can find millions of things that make me laugh. And to be enthralled you have to just I guess make your own Robot Wars movie or go rob a liquor store. Needless to say I saw that RiffTrax also did the movie Split Second that had Rutger Hauer and I heard the peer pressure voice in my head saying, oh come on. You know you want to. You know you want to hear those guys clown on that movie. That sorry movie Split Second.
Well actually I thought Split Second was pretty good. I feel like if I heard RiffTrax I would literally drive over to their house and punch them in the face. What they do is actually not that hard. Just put yourself in some kind of constant Abnormal but "normal" state. I guess. Sort of like people who have to talk about Riquelme's Alien Skeleton..Or the Peru Alien skeleton which has been proven to be a hoax.

I think we all could say STAR WARS (watched it 25 times between 1980-1983) but since everyone else has said it I skipped it.

These are all the ones that got me obsessive for months or years of my life. 4 of them are also on my all-time 10 Best list...

EDIT: It wouldn't post! Last time I tried to link an image it worked. Sigh...

I downloaded my images and put them in my imgur account then  copied the forum friendly option for them

"The House By The Cemetery" (1981)

A professor and his family move into an old New England home with a sordid past, and encounter a ghostly girl and a murderous ghoul in the basement. Gory hilarity ensues.
Lucio Fulci's follow up to "The Beyond" is kinda like a spaghetti remix of "Amityville Horror" with a pinch of "The Shining." It doesn't always make much sense, but the gore flows hot and heavy, and it's got creepy atmosphere to spare. One of the better Italian horrors of the era.
