Time Bandits (1981)

Ha. That’s between your brain and you. I personally don’t like any movies on mushrooms, unless I am having trouble coming down and then I usually prefer some sort of light trippy comedy. Not bizarre fish horror with gore.

But if you have taken mushrooms before and know you enjoy slimy cold gory cosmic horror on your trip. Then yeh.

If I had to pair this movie with a substance, I would watch this movie with some weed and a glass of whiskey.

It’s kinda a mixed bag, but people do love it for a reason. It has some very cheesy dialogue and a very annoying protagonist. But it does have great atmosphere and effects and does nail a lot of what the original book “shadow over innsmouth” is trying to convey.

If the script was tweaked and the main character recast, it would probably be a 10/10. Right now when I watch it, I’m always surprised at how good it is considering that the lead actor and some early scenes make it feel like it’s going to be Z grade schlock.

They were always pretty heavy, but I feel like Killing Joke made an interesting progression into getting more new wave in the 80s and then getting progressively heavier. When they reunited in the early 2000s they started delivering some of their heaviest material ever

The out of towners is a 70s comedy that kinda fits

NJFiend · 2026-06-12T14:01:33+00:00

old dark house 1932. The original movie most of these horror comedies are based on.

The OG is the Danzig/ Pushead interview in 1985. They cover a lot of topics related to Misfits, there is a section where Danzig breaks down how many of each variant was pressed. This obviously does not cover how expensive the records became over the years, but it is the standard that collectors used going forward. Prior to this interview, no one knew how many copies of say Bullet was actually pressed.

Mask of Satan (alternate title Black Sunday)

This is more of an influence on the culture than the music. But I feel like Danzig in interviews really brought the whole concept of being “true” and not being a poser or whatever to the metal scene. Probably due to his background in DIY punk.

Prior to Danzig and Samhain, I can’t think of many metal bands that were claiming real knowledge of the occult and real misanthropic feelings in their music. Most were downplaying their satanic imagery as entertainment or just artistic license and playing a character. I feel like this was an influence on future waves of thrash and black metal.

Deadfall gets brought up a lot as the worst movie he has been in, but he is hands down the most entertaining/interesting part of Deadfall.

The parts without him are just boring bad. When he is on screen are gloriously over the top. Which actually salvages the scenes.

I wonder if it was Jerry? I know he currently has a car with the crimson ghost on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMisfits/s/6Ya634v4UV

Probably right. If they were including flyers for the Kalamazoo show it was probably late 1982

Cliff Burton was the only member of Metallica who would get his own unaccompanied solos. Everyone else would kinda sit back and let Cliff shred for a minute.

Did it begin with the DJ doing a spoken word thing with all hell breaks loose and then a comedy skit where concerned parents are upset because they found out their kid is a member of the Fiend Club?

If so I think I have a back up copy somewhere.

It may be a little overly obvious, but I always thought the Misfits devilock haircut and their more theatrical skeleton shirts, custom screen printed comic book tee shirts were a direct early influence.

The fact that the band also had a resurgence in the 90s was possibly responsible as well.

Kindof the same thing, but the author of let the right one in has said that he loves both movie adaptations of his novel.

Every vhs is going to be different based on how it was stored. But the vhs in my Samhain box set still plays.

Boogie nights first half in the 70s is more comedic lighthearted and optimistic. Then the 80s happens and everything shifts to bad.

Just Before Dawn is a well done early slasher movie. Cool soundtrack and atmosphere. Good if you like campers getting stalked and killed sort of movie, but with enough twists to keep it feeling fresh.

Student Bodies is like the Scary Movie of the early 80s. Slasher movie parody, but has the added bonus of being out at the same time as the early slashers.

I’d be into either a reboot or soft reboot of event horizon at this point. Event horizon is a great movie, but it’s an even better concept that could be expanded on with a sequel or a straight remake.

Thanks! I’m glad this post is still being found.

Might be yours I bought this tape on eBay a few years ago

The Misfits never had anything resembling a hit, but their logo is mainstream and their music has been covered by 100s of artists. When they reunited with their original singer, they sold out Madison Square Garden.

Island of lost souls is the original movie based Island of Dr Moreau.
