I will rewatch it just in your honor, hopefully sooner than later!I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-48305961853712219162009-07-12T12:43:48.563-04:002009-07-12T12:43:48.563-04:00@J Richter.

I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship :) I have seen the two pictures you mention; although it's been since my undergraduate days since I've seen ToaMH so a rewatch is definitely in order. I am a huge fan of director William Girdler's Day of the Animals and Grizzly, though. Leslie Neilsen and the mom from The Baby in a movie together! <br /><br />@Billy. Come on, Billy. You can do this. Just sit back and relax and let the crazy take over. Drinking helps.

The look is way too "early-Columbo episode" and I just can't stomach it.<br />Your review does make me want to try again, though...which is a huge accomplishment.<br />-BillyTower Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117151684983587816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-64445690238649779512009-07-12T04:51:57.588-04:002009-07-12T04:51:57.588-04:00I love this movie.

This movie makes me crave a hot shower (with extra soap) afterwards & that's all the more reason to love it. What it lacks in technology/scripting, it more than compensates in mere atmosphere. Check out "Three On a Meathook" or "Scream Baby Scream" for a similar vibe. 70's indy horror rules my world.JKRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003082564757966003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-7181125851228330802009-07-11T18:15:05.968-04:002009-07-11T18:15:05.968-04:00Thanks, Al Bruno III.

However, since I don't frequent asylums, although it's been said more than once that I probably would benefit, I'm not sure what the typical set up for the patients is like, but if movies have taught us anything, it's that the crazies in the nuthouse just basically sit around either rocking back and forth between fits of screaming and/or maniacal laughter. DLitB covers this quite well IMO.<br /><br />And you said two of my favorite words - BASKET CASE. Damn, what a movie! One of my favorites. And you know, I always thought the cast of unknowns who went on to do little else did a really nice job of handling the bizarre subject matter, giving it a very real quality. <br /><br />Thanks for reading :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299640716799276127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200832832545654418.post-68956631760955495172009-07-11T17:05:13.044-04:002009-07-11T17:05:13.044-04:00Well said.

I enjoy this one myself a lot it has that same kind of 'so off the wall it feels kind of real' vibe I get from BASKET CASE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.com
