What Happened To Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me?
A one-armed man selling shoes, a lady with a log obsession, evil spirits called BOB who
feed on pain and suffering, dwarves speaking backwards, a ton of doughnuts, plus a
murder mystery with a killer reveal. It can only be one crazy series, can’t it? That’s right, my fellow wonderful gore-hounds, we’re taking a psychedelic trip to the fictional
Washington town of Twin Peaks. The original show ran from 1990 to 1991 and followed
an investigation by FBI agent Dale Cooper, played to perfection by Kyle MacLachlan,
into the murder of Sheryl Lee’s homecoming queen, Laura Palmer. The series didn’t
end there, though, no siree. Writer/director David Lynch had grander plans for the
residents of Twin Peaks with Fire Walk With Me!

What Happened To Underworld?
Vampires have always been a popular form of escapism for audiences and they’re still
massively popular now. There’s something timeless and fascinating about the mythical
creatures and whether it’s a classic such as 1922’s Nosferatu, Tom Cruise wearing
platforms in Interview With a Vampire, or the hilarious movie and TV show, What We Do
In The Shadows, people love them. The movie we’re focusing on in today’s video may
not be the best vampire flick ever made, but it started a hugely popular franchise, plus a
video game, Underworld: The Eternal War. So, could the promise of some tight leather
and a werewolf vs vampire skirmish be enough to warrant the hype? Let’s find out, here
on What happened to Underworld!

What Happened To The Mummy?

The Ruins: What Happened To This Adaptation?
The Ruins was one of those hot properties by an author whose previous work was an instant success with critics, fans, and studio executives who put it to celluloid. The book came out, and just two years later, we were given a movie adaptation that had a lot of the original authors’ work in it, mostly because he wrote the screenplay, too. While they came out two years apart and were both written by the same person, how close are these two versions to each other?

What Happened To Hostel?
Eli Roth burst onto the horror scene with the now cult classic Cabin Fever in 2002 and followed it up with another gorefest that would not only spawn two sequels but would become renowned for some pretty shocking imagery. However, was the hype for the movie justified, or did Roth create another sick and twisted splatterfest without any substance? Well, don’t book that ticket to Slovakia just yet, as we find out WTF happened to Hostel.

Society: The Rich Feeds on the Poor (80s Horror Memories Ep. 49)
SEE YOU NEXT FRIDAY FOR THE LAST EPISODE OF 80'S HORROR MEMORIES!
Having had an affinity towards slasher flicks for the decade, Society has all the 80s flair, but its story is still relevant. After all, the idea of class struggle isn't new. We've seen this paranoia in classics like The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and films like The Mist. And history can undoubtedly attest that human beings turn against each other and mistreat others much too often. In this modern age, information travels rapidly, making it all too easy to spread conspiracy theories and the like. It's time to jump in and join Society on our 80s Horror Memories.

When a Stranger Calls: A Remake That Delivers Despite Its Flaws
The first twenty minutes of the 1979 horror film When a Stranger Calls really creeped out movie-goers. It stuck in their heads, earning the movie cult classic status. The rest of the running time, viewers don’t often remember so clearly. So when Screen Gems gave the greenlight to a remake, they decided to expand those first twenty minutes to feature length. Stretching out the thrills and suspense for as long as possible. It was a clever idea that was brought to the screen in an entertaining way. And if you haven’t seen the When a Stranger Calls remake, this is the best horror movie you never saw.

Return Of The Living Dead 3: A Legacy Reconsidered
Return of the Living Dead 3, directed by Brian Yuzna, is a rare gem—a sequel to a spinoff that infuses fun with a tragic love story involving zombies. While it may sound like something out of Roger Corman or Troma, it defies expectations. Unlike its predecessors, which may have fallen short, this film carves its own path, setting up distinct rules within the genre. Despite not reaching the heights of the original trilogy, it avoids the pitfalls of its successors. It occupies a unique space—a 'black sheep' in the series, worthy of appreciation amidst the franchise's ups and downs.

Today, we explore a Horror Movie Ripoff between two rubber-clad, deity-loving entities on a killing spree.

Why Freddy vs Jason Is More An Elm Street Movie Than Friday The 13th
Often the debate can be had regarding whether or not the audience cares about the victims in a horror film or the killers themselves. Sure, we all love the Laurie Strodes and Nancy Thompsons of the world but what about the lesser characters in the later entries? In those instances, we are firmly on the side of the killer. So in 2003, when two titans of the horror genre did battle, you can bet that no one was buying a ticket to root on Miss Lori Campbell. So let's praise the Voorhees and Krueger of it all as we slash our way through Freddy vs Jason.

What Happened To Snakes On A Plane?
When you go back and take a look at the movies that were released in 2006, you might think we were all high. Eli Roth’s Hostel was tearing off tourists' clothes while slashing their Achilles’, The Hills Have Eyes remake was gnarly in every way and does anybody remember that really cool but super weird Paul Walker flick Running Scared? We were on some dark stuff back in the mid-2000s. All of these were released before August of 2006 when the mother of all over-the-top egregious and slightly cheesy but kind of awesome movies was released unto the earth. Well, at least in name. A name that conjures all the curiosity in the world while simultaneously explaining itself perfectly. Today we’re talking about just What happened to Snakes on a Plane?

What Happened To Texas Chainsaw Massacre '03?
In 1974, director Tobe Hooper brought us THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. An
independent production, shot in the heat of a Texas summer, that introduced us to a
chainsaw-wielding cannibal called Leatherface. And his twisted family. It was a box office hit.
And quickly became one of the most popular and respected horror films of all time. So, of
course, there was eventually a remake. Produced by one of the biggest, flashiest filmmakers
in the industry. Directed by a music video director in his feature debut. Starring an actress
from a family friendly TV show. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. But when the remake was
released in 2003, it was another success story. And we’re going to dig into the making of the
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remake in this episode of What the F*ck Happened to This

What Happened To Underworld Evolution?
Vampires and werewolves are big business in mainstream media, with a veritable feast of TV shows and movies being dedicated to mythical creatures across the decades. So when something comes along that slots straight into the mainstream zeitgeist with its gothic visuals and sexy vampires fighting pesky swearwolves, you know what’s coming next. Yup, sequels and prequels! As mentioned in our previous episode that sunk its teeth into the fun but flawed Underworld from 2003, director Len Wiseman found love with his leading lady, Kate Beckinsale. And, if you’re being massively cynical, you could perhaps suggest that their star-struck Hollywood romance is one of the main reasons a follow-up to the first movie was green-lit. Or maybe it was the decent box office, cool world-building, or maybe even the lashings of S&M-clad characters?

Is The Batman Better Than The Dark Knight?
Let’s travel back to 2008 when the summer hit its fever pitch of the long-awaited Christopher Nolan superhero epic, The Dark Knight. I could remember it like it was yesterday, when I was a sophomore in college reading up on all the production coverage I could find (here’s looking at you JoBlo). Rewatching those amazing trailers, following that online campaign and viral marketing which was way ahead of its time. My presale tickets were bought; I was amped beyond words for what I was about to witness. I think it was the longest wait on a theater line as well, clocking in three hours prior to seating on opening night at my local IMAX. Because at that time, seats weren’t reserved, and it was a battle royale trying to get that coveted middle row seat. Picture “Running of the Bulls” in Spain, but with people trying to get that damn middle row. Boy, how far we’ve come with the movie theater experience. When the dust settled, The Dark Knight transcended the superhero genre and was talked about for months on end due to its story, its scope, its direction, its spectacle, and its acting. However, the biggest takeaway was the late Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker, which is still one of the best live-action movie villain performances of all-time. It’s the main reason why the Oscars went from 5 Best Picture candidates to 10. It’s also the reason why many actors try to emulate and top Heath’s performance for that coveted gold Oscar; and why many have failed to achieve it. And like all good things, they must come to an end, only to wait years upon years for next great Batman tale to unfold on the big screen.
I have to say, after watching Matt Reeve’s The Batman in 2022, after a handful of delays, no thanks to COVID, and hearing the production hell it endured; I prided myself in knowing that the Batman deserved to stand alongside the all-time greatest superhero film put onto celluloid since 2008. But why has some of the feedback since its release from many people around the globe garner Matt Reeve’s The Batman not as worthy? I’m here to prove why it’s just as strong as TDK, and why they go hand in hand. Ah yes, you may think my words and opinions are delusional, but they’re simply subjective and filled with passion of my favorite superhero. I have a feeling were on the precipice of another legendary Batman trilogy that down the line may just overshadow Nolan’s. Matt Reeves’ The Batman is the flipside to Nolan’s The Dark Knight’s coin, no pun intended. While one is smaller and intimate in scope as a detective thriller, the other is much more bombastic and versatile reveling in its blockbuster spectacle. But in honesty, they’re merely equals, and share everything great on what a Batman film should be, harkening back to all the best source material of The Dark Knight mythos. So, let’s dive in.

What Happened to JEFFREY JONES?
Lydia Deetz, her stepmother Delia and her daughter Astrid stand over a casket, the burial services in progress. We can barely make out who the funeral is for but there he is on the headstone: Charles Deetz. While Charles was once part of the BEETLEJUICE sequel when the ghost with the most was to “go Hawaiian”, he was written entirely out of BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE...for reasons that will soon be obvious. Despite the original’s and sequel’s dalliances with the afterlife, Jeffrey Jones will not be in BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE – or pretty much any other legitimate movie – following his disgraceful tumble from his small but reliable spotlight. Perfectly fitting into prestigious period pieces and goofball funny flicks. Jones is a Golden Globe nominee with consistent work – a mix of villain, comedic and at times patriarchal roles, Jeffrey Jones went from FERRIS BUELLER baddie to WHO’S YOUR CADDY?
