Amazing.

I love this 😁🖤.

Brill

That's beautiful man.

Your mom is awesome. Now I need to get my kids to do this for me one day.

It still yet may. 😢

Same here. It was so easy to imagine everything in that segment happening to you, while anywhere near water, especially as a child. Jay is also right when he said the worst part, that really screwed with me for a long time after I saw this movie as a youngster, was that they specifically note how painful it is being digested by it.

When I had sleepovers somebody would usually get under a blanket and pretend to be the monster (we called it the “oil slick”) who ate the others. Fun times…

Same!

The part where the lady comes back up from the goop and is practically a skeleton shared the shit out of me as a kid. It never left me.

It's like the Zelda and Mario game cutscenes for the CD-i console. There is definitely such a thing as over-animated.

@Game Gallows So looking further, it looks like I was slightly mistaken. It was more tedious because of the constant motion, but they also had very flat shading. So comparing a handful of drawings in Creepshow vs Creepshow 2, you can see that in Creepshow, a lot of the animations have deep shadows, in addition to that constant motion, giving a lot of depth and darkness to the animation. Of all the shots they showed in the re:view, nearly nothing in Creepshow 2 has shadows. It is all very flat and lacks depth. So even though it was expensive in one sense, it was very cheap in another, which is why I think it reminds them of Saturday Morning Cartoons, because those animated series were typically pumped out at such high volume that they couldn't afford the time to shade every frame and so it wasn't commonly left out to save money/time. As a result that flat look became a sort of style of the Saturday Morning cartoon, if unintentionally at least.

@@jakehr3 Put alongside the gold-standard of 1950-1960s Looney Tunes, it looks (and sounds) like crap. But then most animation does. If there's an opportunity to talk up Bugs Bunny, I will take it.

Yeah the lack of shading on the animation gives it the Saturday Morning look, but there's a lot of expressive movement to the characters. Its like they ordered Don Bluth from Wish.

@@ForwardSynthesis Funny thing with the studio which did the animation for those infamous CD-i Nintendo games is that they kept animating for games afterwards, and for each game they get noticeably better, I.M Meen is a step up over Hotel Mario, and if you look at that cancelled Warcraft point and click adventure, they animated and did the graphics for that, and it actually looks quite good. Pretty much a complete game and Blizzard cancelled it on a whim.

Keep at it. One day…

Me and my brothers have done the same thing. You're not alone, my friend.

My mom and my aunt constantly quoted anytime they went somewhere

Yep, this is a quote me, my brother, and mother still use to this day.

To me is as memorable as "I hear you're looking for Candyman, bitch" police lineup scene in the OG Candyman, one of those guys just says it in the most perfect way possible.

First time I saw that I was like 10 years old, and I watched the movie alone in the dark... The end where the car is sitting with no trace of any one around is such an ethereal moment for me it's hard to explain... Like those opening logos from an 80's movie where you feel like you are loving inside it for an instant.

hey vsauce michael here

@@bradleygarrod3871 that’s part of what made it so great was that people back then would come across the car and not know what happened. That black blob just eats everything organic and leaves no trace behind. It reminds me of an SCP Anomaly roaming freely before it gets contain by greater powers.

Binyot please

When I was a kid it was scary. When I saw it years later, I was nervous it was going to scare me again. It didn't.

It's not that amazing. Star Trek IS at the center of all things.

"So you know the raft in the movie, that raft was the same raft that Jordie used in River of Time which the extra played clandoop was in the background of the intro" -Mike probably "oh yeah the guy who played the kid stared in this obscure italian zombie movie which was lost and found in a cave in Zimbabwe" -Jay most likely "Haaaahahahaha" -International playboy superstar Rich Evans

Oh

Very cool

Mike would have refrenced Armus from Skin of Evil during The Raft segment

My uncle took me to the drive-in to see this when I was like 8. I slept in my parents room for a week straight. The raft scared the fak outta me.

i saw it pretty young but i thought it was awesome. the end part jump scared me the first time.

the fact that the Raft is all in daylight and is shot so straightforward and basic AND IS STILL creepy and effective is a testament. imagine someone with some flair in the directors chair

Same! I'm pretty sure I was the same age. I totally forgot about it until this video and it still gives me the creeps

You're scared, I watched three of my friends get eaten by the tar monster. I only survived because I'd seen the film and took off as soon it started eating the first one.

Lover's Vow is almost too good for any of these movies. Absolutely heartbreaking story.

Intensive purposes*

@@chrisdudley2016 No!

@@ZyxthePest Lover's vow was also adapted earlier in the Japanese horror anthology Kwaidan; both stories are based on the Japanese folk legend of Yuki Onna.

I remember the opening credits for darkside use to creep the hell out of me as a kid,hell they still do.

No, he’s not. He’s bad ass

Yeah, you can tell they were thinking “well if we’re gonna make another frame, we may as well get bang for the buck.”

Yeah, it was a waste. They really needed to spend that budget better on more high quality elements. But I feel like they were just locked into rotoscoping and didn't have any flexibility.

I think when you're animating extremely fluid, it creates that uncanny effect where it all looks ugly as sin. There's a reason why you rely on static faces; not just for cost, but for convenience.

I'm not saying this as an insult, but RedLetterMedia doesn't cover animation very often, and it shows in how little they know about it. But yes, they poured way too much time and effort into that animation.

@@graveyardsmash2711 I wouldn't even blame RLM to much. People in general think animation is something "cheaper" than live action. And while it may be true in high budget CGI films. It's certainly not a cheap thing to develop. Especially in traditional 2D. People often criticize the fact that most animated films are in 3d. But there's a reason for that. It's more realistic to actually produce. Back in the day when The Incredibles was released it took 5+ years to make the film. But now the software is so updated we actually have the technology to make it easier. True fact: The reason Toy Story was a success was because 3D software animation software was so behind the times they could only animate plastic and fake models with no real fluent textures or physics. This is why the dog and liquids looked so underdeveloped. Butwe got absolutely exceeded expectations because they knew their limitations. They used what they had at the time to make a good movie with the technology they had. RLM is a part of an older generation. I don't think they were correct in assuming that "animation is cheaper than live action". But it's definitely frustrating to those who actually know what goes into animation.

It’s not wild. Watch it again: it does look like a garbage bag or some kind of tarp. There are moments when you can tell they’re dragging it across the water and it kinda takes you away from the story a bit but it’s still great despite that.

...Huh...

😂😂😅

I was just thinking about how my uncle is a wooden raft while watching this

Are you Nicolas Cage!?

Like the Jesuit order?

I've had an illogical phobia of sea weed in water deeper than I can stand in since childhood. I was also allowed to watch this film as a child. There's probably a connection.

IRL you have brain eating bacteria. I haven't been in a lake since 2007.

also you know, being digested alive and being conscious about it while it happens....

come on now. a trash bag monster is by no means the scariest this series has to offer.

One of the VHS movies is the same level of awful. Viral maybe? And The ABC's of Death is notorious

They already did Scary or Die which is shit

@@2HackFrauds Viral is just mediocre. There's a difference between humorously incompetent and just uninteresting. The movies has polish and is pretty much "normal," just not that good. I wouldn't put Thor 2 on best of the worst, yknow?

Body bags was pretty shi. Cats eye, and 2 evil eyes are super solid anthologies.

I'm thinking pair it with up with "Screams of a winter night" and "Tales from the hood" or "Body bags"

It’s always satisfying to find out where clips from childhood are from, happens all the time lol

I still hop on my mom's windshield and say this line. over 30 years and hasn't gotten old...to me at least

@@jmstringfield gold

Thanks for the ride, lady is my fav line ever , espically when my girlfriends drive lol

I had to explain this line to a younger millennial. You can find the clip on KZfaq and share it. They don’t know about these 80s horror anthologies.

It would be fun to see Jay and Josh do their favorite Star Trek TNG episodes.

I'd be down for that

That would be great!,

@@Tetragrammaton22 With Mike tied up and gagged in a corner, struggling to butt in.

Doesn’t come across on the screen but what used to get me was the situation of being practically nude all through the afternoon and chilly autumn night after a swim. You’d be frozen from temps alone and fear.

It’s scary how it’s somewhat intelligent with how it learned to ooze through the gaps in the floor boards and how it could turn into wave to grab something on the shore.

Is that the one where the guy is saved by his boner?

Absolutely. I read _Skeleton Crew_ and _Under the Dome_ back to back, and… wow, is King ever more cut out for short story writing than novels. I know many disagree, but… wow.

Hard agree. His short story collections are legendary. Skeleton Crew, The Night Shift, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Everythings Eventual... I've probably read some of those stories dozens of times. His novels are of (ahem) varying quality.

@@lisah-p8474 - when a movie or a TV show or even another book has me totally invested but completely fucks up the ending I say "They Stephen King'd it". I don't think he ever knows where he's going with his novels and he has to force them to a sloppy conclusion most of the time.

@@jukeboxfandango he has stated in “On Writing” that almost all his ideas are what ifs and he goes from there

@hd01 We like the pain

God bless!

Based

Wow, I thought you were kidding

You sir, are a raging psychopath. Never let anyone take that away from you...

Blobs are just the scariest thing. There's no understanding them, or the danger they pose, until they're pulling people head first into drainpipes and melting everyone's flesh off.

I'll never look at rafts the same way. Holy.

I watched this movie when I was 5! Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. I grew up in Michigan.....we have 11,000 inland lakes and 4 GREAT LAKES. U couldn't of seen a more terrifying story as a kid, in a worse place. I've seen 100's of lakes, floating docks, floating algae and large lake waves. I'm 38 and still cringe a bit every time I see floating algae.

As a kid, Chief Wooden Head was great to see and watch him get his revenge. As a kid, The Raft was so damn scary and made me terrified of what lurked beneath bodies of water. Not to mention, that black blob being able to turn into a wave and grab you. Genuinely horrifying stuff for a kid to watch!

Honestly I feel like the raft is scarier as an adult because of the unknown aspect of it

Do you remember when Jay murdered cats?

@Vitor PR $bi

"That's impossible! I had a dead bead on him!"

That movie is unapologetically fucked up. It's great. Probably the most insane anthology horror ever made.

My grand dad told me cats can really do that🤦🏿‍♂️ I was freaking 8 but loved horror....& That Fucked me up till this day. That & Hollween 3...when the kids mask turned into bugs. The ONLY thing that scared me😅😢😔

parents back then were insane XD my uncle was a huge action movies fan. everytime he rented one, he would gather us male cousins and we'd watch it together in his living room. robocop, predator, aliens..all that stuff. plus basically anything with chuck norris, charles bronson, clint eastwood. he and my father brought us to the cinema for Predator 2, Terminator 2, Total Recall...we were totally underage for those movies XD again..they were insane XD

lol 🤣

House... Hellraiser..

Choke on em! Chooooke on em!!!

My older brother had giant posters of this movie cover, the "Evil Dead" cover, and the Tar-Man from "Return of the Living Dead" up in his room when I was little. I suspect it was done largely to keep me out, because they TERRIFIED me to no end!

You seem to be a real pussy, man

Still pisses me off that he stops right along the shore line and yells "I BEAT YOU" and then gets eaten by it.

@@jonnyshanon2103 He was SO CLOSE and SCREWED it up! But I love the No Swimming sign in the overgrowth:):) In Stephen King's short story of it, that didn't happen, he was just going crazy staring at the slick because it made people see beautiful colors! For the obvious reasons I prefer this ending a THOUSAND times more:)

@@jemofthe80s18 Deke's car sure had an amazing battery life.

@@jonnyshanon2103 It DID, going strong for HOW many hours?!

Yes we do

Agreed. They are my favorites.

Even the 3rd one?

Not so much, that one did not come from passion for the stories, it came across as just a half hearted cash grab.

The last good one I saw was Tales From The Hood.

*_Happy, happy, Halloween, Halloween! Happy, Happy, Halloween, Silver Shamrock!_*

It starts as a part of your life. Then it becomes your life.

Nothing matters anymore

I like the book ending too, because it answers the question of how something that exists in the water could continue to feed

@@AsiaDanceScene it's literally probably been 10 to 15 years since I last read, but if I remember it did a pulsating hypnotic pattern and he was getting drawn into it and I think that's how it just ended. I'm sure reading it again I would appreciate it a little more

@@cinemascarsit’s pretty grim in tone but basically that. Randy screams his lungs out and then after fantasising about rescue/shooting himself begins to wonder if focusing on the colours will make it less painful-if that’s what they are for. It just ends with the loons screaming, obviously implying Randy gets eaten. It’s less cinematic than the film but honestly I like it. It’s a…grimmer tone, though the irony of the false victory “ I beat you! I beat you!” And actually trying the “swim while it’s eating someone else” thing is cool and I like both endings for different reasons.

Don't read It.

I'm a low brow hack so I recognized him from all the CSI Miami reruns I watch with my mom. He played a troubled detective on that show and he was great.

infection from what?!

@@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038 The polluted water.

@@rossdawgsbrokenspirit9038 E. coli. There were lots of free-range cattle around then (not so much today) and the lake collects runoff from a pretty large area. They still don't let people swim there. Although I'm not ruling out the involvement of car-sized amoebas.

@@OffScreen Thank you that is very interesting and provides a new dynamic to that scene now!

No that's just the mushrooms kicking in AgentPothead

Don't make Josh feel bad :(

@@ZyxthePest we all know how lovely his beard smells

i felt sorry for the duck more than the dumb teenagers lol

Yes. Cecil from good bad flicks whenever talking about a new world movie from Cormans days uses the new logo from when corman left. So this is a common youtuber mistake. But it is a bit confusing I Agree. Corman was always making new labels. Not as bad as Charles band but still. People like me get very compelled about pointing our these mistakes.

Exactly!!!

Black Cauldron isn't dark fantasy, you might as well call Lord of the Rings dark fantasy.

Another but is really the atmosphere, like they kept saying. It would work better if it was shorter, yes, but a lot of it is the pacing. If they wanted a longer segment, then there should have been more time in-between his first few appearances. Enough that she could convince herself she was seeing things. So like, him waving at her, then more of the "it's fine, I can live with it!" part, and then rachet up the intensity of him showing up. But, that's kinda the problem with all of the shirts - they are both too long, and too short.

Being a black horror fan...(im 43) from then till now, its something I think people miss. Anyone that hates it & think it the weakest, will never get why black horror fans love it. Its not about the homeless, that come in any color, its that it was a black man that she chose to treat this way...the writer said himself, the "thanks for the ride lady zombie" was all in her head. It was white guilt....I mean, back then not whatever the internet turned it into...like, wokeness & whatever trigger word. It was a slight social commentary, without preaching.

They did a fantastic job with his makeup. It was horrifying but realistic. The way he just keeps getting up and talking in the same cheerful tone is so unsettling when his appearance just keeps getting more and more grotesque. He's not really doing anything threatening?? It's just his appearance and her reaction to him. Eerily this reminds me of the story in the news a few years ago of the hit and run driver who went home with a homeless man lodged in her windshield and left him to die in her garage. Unfortunately he was not a figment of her imagination.

I loved Cat's Eye as a kid. Obviously my favorite entry was General as a child. Troll slaying magic cat that protects little girls?? Oh hell yeah!! Upon re-watch the other two are probably stronger segments. Quitters and Ledge are both well written and directed, but I still have a soft spot for General.

A leftover from CREEPSHOW 1

He got that license plate given to him after he wrote "that scene" in "It".
