Fun to see a young looking Gene Hackman make an appearance in this episode of The Invaders starring as the alien villain of the week from this Season 2 episode in 1968. He’s as intense as always and makes this episode a real stand out for the series.
1997.
Studio Executive “So our new film – Dream With The Fishes – we want a really killer quote on the trailer that sells just how good David Arquette is in it.”
Marketing Department “Don’t worry, we’ve got just the thing you want!”
A fun find today via our good friend Kosmas, here’s a German TV documentary from 1984 looking at the boom in VHS horror films in Germany and how they maybe effect kids and teenagers. Turns out German documentaries on this subject seem to turn out just as inconclusive s any other countries, a lot of talk about not vert much, but it’s still a fun watch along for us! It’s all in German with no subtitles, but if you use the YouTube auto translate option you can just about follow along.
A real highlight is when a group of unsuspecting parents sit down to watch Lucio Fulci‘s City Of The Living Dead – it doesn’t go down well!
Watch the full documentary now and don’t forget to turn on auto translate!
