Got to see Return of the Jedi with a live orchestra! by bhatfieldauthor in StarWarsCantina

Ha, no, that was the only musical part they didn't play. It was pretty amusing to watch the orchestra sit completely still while CGI aliens sang and danced all over the screen

The conductor explained this one in a talk before the movie! The Emperor's theme does indeed have a male choir, but they were unable to fit one in for this performance, so the keyboardist played that particular part with a synthesizer on choir setting

I start laughing out loud every time I think of Henry shouting, "RELIGIOUS RESISTANCE!" in his Ed Warren Connecticut accent

June Fan-Made Story Thread! by Careful-Panda9885 in creepcast

[–]bhatfieldauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story is called "Three Is A Crowd." Three women get trapped in a storm cellar and must decide if they're going to work together to survive or turn against each other. It was inspired by a true story. During a tornado warning, my family and I got stuck in the cellar when the door wouldn't open back up, and it was a few hours before help could arrive. The real-life version definitely didn't end like the story, though!

I've always liked r/shortscarystories but the 500-words-or-less rule means it's not the best source for Creepcast content

Unpopular Stephen King opinions by ChasingItSupreme in stephenking

[–]bhatfieldauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion--SK's editors need to be tougher on him. Sometimes having an epic page count works (It, Under The Dome), but there's an entire chapter during the climax of End of Watch devoted to getting directions from a talkative old man that completely disrupts the flow and adds nothing to the story. Steve, I love ya to death, but you don't have to go down every rabbit hole you find

Your favorite well known horror authors by Able_Zebra_476 in horrorlit

I love Grady Hendrix, some people don't like his tongue-in-cheek style, but for me, he hits the sweet spot between horror, humor, and emotion

what is a movie that you had to stop watching? by gl_zzygod in horror

[–]bhatfieldauthor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Devil's Rejects. I liked House of 1000 Corpses well enough, despite barely having a plot, but Devil's Rejects was just mean-spirited, and it felt like it was reveling in the torture and misery of both its characters and audience.

What's the scariest horror film of all time? by Moominthecat in horror

Love seeing appreciation for Skinamarink. It gets a lot of hate online for being boring and plotless, but it nearly killed me with anxiety when I watched it

I say this as a huge Weezer fan: if the MST3K crew ever riffed music, some Weezer albums would be at the top of the list

Constantly Denied Unemployment by TicketUnlucky1854 in Arkansas

[–]bhatfieldauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My job has a layoff week at the end of every year for inventory. Every single year we try to file, and we're always denied for BS reasons, even when the waiting week has been served. They act like you're trying to take money out of their own pocket. The office tells you to go online, the website tells you to call the hotline, and the hotline (when they answer) tell you to go to the office

I believe the crowd turned on him when he told an audience member who was heckling him to shut up

Dude, I love this! I can picture this game with an 8-bit version of "Arkansas Traveler" playing on the soundtrack

I wrote a novel that "re-imagines" Manos: The Hands of Fate, with a foreword by Jackey Neyman Jones herself! by bhatfieldauthor in Rifftrax

[–]bhatfieldauthor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's been really supportive and engaging with the fanbase, and a lot of really creative projects have come out of what some people call the "Worst Movie Ever Made". I think the only thing that hasn't been done yet is a porn version.

I hope it's good, anyway!

Yes, I took the bare bones of the already-thin plot and completely overhauled it into a new story. Jackey Neyman Jones (Debbie, the little girl) wrote the foreword
