I also wrote a book. It's on sale now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa-Zo9Kmzbewe2w.html

I read the title and said "of course he did..."

The logical endgame here would be to remake El Terror with 5 different KZfaq directors

"can I buy this movie" "Qué?"

While airing on your channel you might invite Jack Nicholson to an interview about the movie. He probably has some really hilarious stories to tell about the filming and, who know, he might say yes to the interview.

So basically, the craziest 48 hour film ever made

You could probably completely make this up and no one would even check.

Huh, wonder how they got all these actors on board. “Director Roger Corman...” Oh, now it makes sense.

You bought the rights to my childhood. What a time to be alive.

This guy is like a clickbaiter but he actually does the stuff he says in the title. Love these videos.

People invest in stocks Austin: lemme buy a Nicholson movie :)

Honestly I'd love to make a crazy thrown together movie with absolutely no budget. I mean I can do that now but I want the big castle set as well.

'Austin, did you really use your sponsorship money to secure the rights to a cheesy Jack Nicholson B movie just so you could make a dumb youtube video about it's production?' (long pause) 'Yes.' Honest man. I like it.

"We've 2 days left." *_"GET MY COCAINE WE'RE DOING ANOTHER ONE."_*

You're a real one. I can finally watch El Terror without pirating it.

“I have no idea what’s happening, but it’s awesome” basically my life summed up in one sentence hahahahaha

I have the English version. Jack Nicholson said he owes his career to Roger Corman. You should see all who went to "The Corman School" of film production.

This just became my favourite story to tell at dinner parties after 2 glasses of wine

An American actor playing a French soldier speaking English with a Spanish dub.... Mr. worldwide

I’m Spanish and the way you pronounce “El terror” is definitely funny

Glad you're giving some love and exposure to one of cinema's greatest contributors, Roger Corman! There are MANY careers that wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for that man. Jonathan Demme, Coppola (and everyone related to Coppola, by proxy), Nicholson, Monte Hellman, Jack Hill, man there's just a lot. I remember watching "The Terror" back when I was a teenager. It's just so good. This whole method of production wasn't unusual for him. In fact most of his pictures were shot very cheaply in a few days. His most successful one (The Little Shop of Horrors) was written and shot in the span of a week because they had a set available. I HIGHLY recommend his book "How I made a hundred movies in Hollywood and never lost a dime". He explains his whole philosophy and stories from the set and it's fucking amazing.

"The only way out of this hole is to keep digging" comes to mind

This is both exactly the sort of title I expected from this channel, and completely different from what I expected

Remember MTV? It used to have a program in the early 1990s called Liquid Television, a program dedicated to various episodic animation. One of these episodes was called Stick Figure Theater. An extremely bare bones re-telling of various films but with rendition of animated visuals but using only about a minute of audio. That was my introduction of The Terror.

This movie is basically “Well he roped me into this!” with its directors

Austin is that one guy that tells a crazy story and when someone says "you got proof?" he actually shows proof

*Reads title* Me: “Yup, sounds like Austin”

This is the only movie that took me 10 years to watch all the way through.

I read Roger Corman’s biography a couple years ago so when you started describing it I was like “why does this ring a bell”

Me who speaks Spanish: “This is where the fun begins”

"The spanish sub is better than the english dub." -Austin Mcconnell

2:12 I _love_ that one of the adaptations was called "The Premature Burial". You literally couldn't have a less scary name for something as terrifying as being buried alive. Try to think of a worse one, I dare you. *"Oopsie daisy, my burial was too hasty!"*

the amount of future megastars to come out of the Roger Corman studios is kinda amazing

"Director: Roger Corman" That's the seal of quality right there.

Austin: “I bought the rights” KZfaq: “Swiggity swooty your AdSense are my booty”

Owned this on VHS in the 80's. It was called The Terror, and had different cover art.

7:38 *a bunch of Spanish gibberish* “Si” Me: laughs my ass off

Hey, *Little Shop of Horrors* was a throw away movie Corman put together to prove he could film a feature in a single day and the 80s version is still one of the most rewatchable movies from that era. So you never know, you might have something really brilliant there ;)

I'm definitely going to donate when you're streaming El Terror, if my money even remotely goes into the direction of these shenanigans then I'm on board.

00:28 "Do not use if you are nursing, pregnant or from West Virginia". I lost it. :D

I caught this on the scifi channel Comet. Seeing Jack so young was wild.

Austin literally always has interesting content. ALWAYS, whatever the topic

S H A R E T H E V I D E O

I saw this movie on TCM some years ago on Halloween (in English!). It was worth seeing simply because of the cast. Not the job they did, necessarily, but the fact that they were in one movie together. Also, a band called Regdar and the Fighters have a song about this movie (called "The Terror") on their album Spoiler Alert, which features songs based mostly on books (Dune, Fight Club, Illium, Childhood's End, etc). It's worth a listen!

Ooh, I think this was the first horror movie I saw as a child. The only thing I remember about it, was the girl turned out to be hundreds of years old, and her body rapidly turned to dust and only her skeleton remained. Scared me shitless!

I legit always wanted to do that. Get my hands on the rights for obscure weird films or shows nobody knows about.

I’ve made some impulsive purchases before but clearly I need to up my game.

Just so anyone from the future reads this: It was legit. I was there. This guy did stream the movie in a youtube premier. Even had a nice little message of forgiveness at the end.

Whenever austin posts you know its going to be a good day

Next step : Find out WHO has the outtakes and unused footage in their attic, shoot any missing footage (to fix the plot) with the same actors when possible, and release a new and improved definitive version.

8:01 you wrete the contract on a Minecraft sheet of paper?

100 years from now: "I bought the rights to The Rise of Skywalker just so I could make a KZfaq video about this crazy film's production."

Aww man, I was gonna buy that one!

SquareSpace: “We would like you to promote our product in exchange for $10,000.” Austin: “Deal!” SquareSpace: “What are you going to spend it on?” Austin: Uhhhhhh

Austin...my boy...it's not legal to be this genius.

8:11 "I honestly don't think they understand why I want it" I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT IT. Lol, Austin is weird, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remembered watching James Rolfe from AVGN do a review of this movie for one of his Monster Madness videos. It's the reason I know about this movie and I wouldn't have it any other way.

i speak spanish, but a lot of people don’t. i hope someone does subs for el terror when you stream it on your channel.

I remember watching this during a watch party on twitch. It had a few thousand viewers. so watching this movie with a chat blasting reactions was a truly unique experience. Also this being a bunch of film legends young work is pretty cool, even if it's a bad trip of a movie.

Austin, whenever you need a Spanish translator, just DM me. I’ll do it for free.

You know what? When you end up making a movie, make a remake of El Terror! (You gotta do something with the movie rights after all)

This is a prime example that small projects hardly turn out to be small in nature.

I remember seeing this movie on late night TV as a kid in the 70s. You have triggered my long repressed PTSD, and may now be on the hook for compensation.

"Weird flex but okay", the video.

A KZfaqr who prioritises quality over quantity. I like this.

omg i haven't watched you since the video about your movie! it's been way too long! one of your videos just got randomly recommended to me and i'm so happy to see how good your channel is doing!

Coming back here after the premiere is certainly a wild ride. El Terror is now my favorite movie even if it is a cheesy 60s fever dream. That is all.

Better you buying it then some Hollywood hack.

"So you're saying one of your favourite content creators makes videos about weird, obscure and useless stuff?" "...Pretty much"

I just recently started to binge your channel and wanna say I love your content. Between talking about weird outlandish books, to discussion on film, a lot of your videos just resonate with that itch I've been meaning to scratch. By the way, some of your older videos where you post the hate comments you receive, I don't understand their ideas, you create entertaining, relatively comedic, and informative videos on here as a way to spread your message amongst many different demographics. Sorry about the rant, but a Dark Greetings to you and your friends, I wish you a merry dark Christmas and a gloomy new year

This is just a visual representation of Syd Barrett's "Have You Got It Yet?".

(Recognizes The Terror as a Roger Corman fan from the thumbnail, then sees the title of the video) ...oh, this is gonna be GOOODDD...

Alright Austin, you've gone too far this time this is far too insane for any one person. I love it

Austin’s uploads are like KZfaq recommendations

This is why I love your content. You see something you love and you make a video out of it. Your love for it shows through the video.

Duuude, finally someone else has seen this movie! I saw it on late night Spanish t.v. years ago, and nobody believed me! I don't speak Spanish, but it was so weird I watched the whole thing!

The screenplay of THE TERROR was by Leo Gordon, a well known character actor.

At some point in the last decade I stumbled across this on TV and watched it! I rarely watch old movies and I don’t follow many you tubers, but tonight I stumbled on your channel- odd how things converge.

0:40 double feature drive ins are still a thing and they show recent movies. well not as of right now as there are not that many but there is one at a town near me it's in a town called Boaz Alabama and is called sand mountain drive in. My family and I used to frequent the place before covid hit. as of right now they are showing raya the last dragon on screen one (there is not other movie currently) and on screen 2 are running the new tom and jerry movie along with space jam afterward. This drive in has been playing a lot of older movies lately because of the lack of new ones coming out. It was the only place to consistently stay open because it was possible to social distance thanks to everyone being confined to the inside of their car. Although it being Alabama some irresponsible parents still let their kids play with others before the movie started.

All I have to say after watching this: Thank you, Squarespace

This is one of the most incredibly stupid things I’ve seen you do so far, and I love it.

Do a remake and call it "The Terror Returns."

Will you air the movie again? I was busy the first time and I missed it!

It's hard to believe someone who wants to be a filmmaker doesn't know that people like Francis Ford Coppola and Jack Nicholson got started in B movies. There are literally dozens of notable people who got their start because of Roger Corman, who isn't considered a "Hollywood" director by the way.

Big shout out to Austin, who, somehow, has made me feel so excited for a movie that I didn't know existed 10 minutes ago.

Can't wait Austin Will there be subtitles??🤩

5:17 It is now that the old saying comes to mind "Too many cooks spoil the stew"

2:06 - sees the poster for House of Usher - wait so that's where they came up with the 10 Cloverfield Lane poster??? Cool.

You are _literally_ the very 1st KZfaqr, to ever spend money on something actually _for_ your audience! Others spend massive amounts on 'props' to destroy, _for_ content. Not you though, my good Sir. Nope, you've gone & _purchased_ a movie for us. So that we may watch _during_ a global wide pandemic. You _really are_ the bees knees Austin, thanks a ton Pal. *Sending you internet hugs, straight through my internet connection: 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Good to see you got the joke embedded into the title of the film "Bee movie" and went ahead and reused it for this clip. Well played. It even almost seemed like an original joke somehow

I remember having this movie on DVD in like 2004, part of a cheap collection of 50 old B horror movies, many of which had notable actors whose name they could brandish the packaging with

We're looking forward to watching that mess here at our house.

Excuse me, what? McConnell, you really have surprised me again Thank you for making me day a lot more interesting

Some of the footage from “The Terror” was used in Peter Bogdanovich’s 1968 “Targets”

This was my introduction to you and your channel haha now i'll be spending the rest of the day watching your videos

Never a dull moment on the AustinMcConnell channel. Bless you Brother

KZfaq forgot to recommend me this video for 2 weeks. I guess I missed the movie stream.

I actually caught this film myself on vacation last year, funny to know you own it now!

After watching this entire video, I'm sitting here laughing both at the outrageous story of the filming for this picture and at how interesting it is to have the rights to a film. Well done, sir. Well done.

I want this to get on the trending page of KZfaq so badly. Share with everyone!
