An interesting thing about this movie is when the town heard that a movie was gonna use their mine to shoot this in, they spent $50,000 to clean it up. Apparently the producers were pissed that they made it clean because of COURSE THIS MINE IS SUPPOSE TO LOOK DIRTY AND USED. The film's production spent like $75,000 of their own budget just to make it look dirty, gross and active again. This movie was shot in Nova Scotia btw and as a Canadian, I gotta support Canadian horror ALWAYS! Loved this reaction as usual!

Alanda starting off with “y’all mining for a sneaky link” had me dying. 😂😂

I do think this movie does a pretty decent job at making us feel sorry for those that are killed. Mabel and mustache guy were nice and really didn't deserve to die just for wanting a party. And while their party tricks are weird (drinking through the nose), it was the 80s, there wasn't much for young adults to do

This movie had some of the best atmosphere and practical effects ever seen in a horror movie! Criminally underrated!

“Sylvia?” “Yes, Mickey?” “Axel is the ax y’all!” Seriously, you are unsurpassed. 😂

One of the few slashers that focuses on a group of working adults being the victims, instead of teens or college kids. I feel so sorry for Mabel though, classic sweet Canadian grandma energy. It was filmed on location in the town of Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia - coal mining has been present in the area since the 1700s, and there were even mines that extended 8km out under the sea, which is a bit of a terrifying thought...

31:38 Not only was Axel traumatised by Harry killing his dad and started killing but he also went crazy and thought the dead Harry was talking to him.

I do _not_ understand why you don’t have at _least_ 100,000 subscribers at this point! Your movie reactions are absolutely top tier every single week! And you’re able to do what so many reactors fail to do, which is riding that delicate line between poking fun at the film but also taking it somewhat seriously/appreciating it for what it is. No matter the quality or tone of the film, you’re always fully on board for the movie to take you where it’s going and you never look back! Which is one of several reasons as to why you’re a cut above so many others! (Other qualities include: your incredible & hilarious quick wit, your general movie & pulp culture knowledge, your ability to recognize all sorts of actors, your amazing/gorgeous hair & multiple, fabulous different hairstyles, and genuinely *so many* more!!) I first found you via your _Scream_ reaction and I instantly had to stan. lol. Since then, all of your _Scream_ reactions, plus multiple others, have become comfort videos for me when I’m feeling down or feeling out of sorts at all. So, *thank you SO much* for that! And I am soooooo freaking pumped for your reaction to _Scream (2022)_ that I’m counting down the days until it comes to Paramount +! lol. (I know it won’t be your first time watching it, but it doesn’t matter to me in the least! I’m just excited to see everything you have to say and how you feel about it! Also, I’m fairly certain that, as of today, we’re 8 days away from it streaming on Paramount +, which makes us that much closer to getting your reaction. Yay! lol.) I know I’ve already babbled on plenty (Sorry about that. I can be a real chatty Cathy at times. lol. And I have a _lot_ to say today for whatever reason.) but it’s been a _hot_ minute since I’ve thrown out any suggestions. (I feel like it’s pointless as I’m sure that you have a *HUGE* list of movies compiled which you’re already working your way through. However, based on your reactions to each and every movie you’ve posted for us thus far, I am absolutely *positive* that you will *LOVE* all three of these films!) So, they are _The Faculty_ (1998), _Urban Legend_ (1998), & _The Cabin In The Woods_ (2011). I am absolutely chomping at the bit to see you watch these films for the first time! (Provided you haven’t already seen any of them, of course! Cuz… duh. lol.) Again, I’m just *so sure* that you’re just gonna *LOVE* each one of them! They are right up your alley! I (an internet stranger) promise!! (So how could you possibly go wrong?! lol.) Okay. This is now waaaay too long so it’s very doubtful you’ll even read it, which is a _major_ bummer (But _totally_ understandable!), but hopefully I’m wrong about that and you _do_ read it all. Hopefully we’ll get your _Scream (2022)_ video in the coming weeks. Hopefully you’ll watch the movies I suggested sometime in the near future. Hopefully you start getting the subscribers and view counts that you deserve. And, most importantly, hopefully you’re having a *phenomenal* day/week/month/2022!!! Thanks for your awesome content and for being you, Alanda! You really, truly are the BEST!! 😊

I love these kind of old 70s and 80s "not so classic" horror movies. You should definetly watch Suspiria (1977 original version), it is my third favorite horror movie of all time after Carrie (1976) and REC (2007)

The remake of this (technically the movie that Kirby mentions in Scream 4 cause she's listing remakes^.^), is completely worth a watch! Yeah, it makes some of the classic remake mistakes, but it does really expand on the relationships of the townspeople and the story~~~ It was a 3D movie, but I think some of its intentional 3D shots they really nailed, especially if you got to view it in a movie theater (which I thankfully did)!~ Seriously, there are some shots in the remake that they took from the first and elevated!~~~ I think, in a rare way, the original and the remake don't take away from each other, and I'm happy both exist^.^ (I'm also a fan of a lot of the cast in the remake^.^)

The laughs from Axel really got me bad 💀

Fun Fact: My Bloody Valentine was filmed in an actual mine in Canada, and the camera crew had to use special lighting equipment to prevent any methane explosions.

In the hotdog water!!??? That is SO undignified 😂😂😂😂😂 I screamed!

The remake is really good too. This was part of a string of Canadian slashers in the 80s. There was a huge discount for filming there in the 80s. “Prom Night” and “Terror Train” both have Jamie Lee Curtis and I recommend them both.

This is one of my favorites!!! The uncut version is so much better! The movie had most of the death scenes cut when it was first released but the uncut version has them and they are much more gory. You always make me laugh with your comments and i love watching your reactions ❤

There’s a whole Array of movies you’d have a blast reacting to Horror: Orphan, Suspiria (1977,2018 remake), Don’t Breathe, Malignant, The Conjuring, The Strangers Comedy: The Favourite, The Sweetest Thing, Bachelorette (2012), The Breaker Upperers Drama: Mother!, Panic Room, Black Swan, Unforgettable Thriller: Red Eye, Crimson Peak, The Skeleton Key, A Cure For Wellness

“Kick off your Sunday shoes”. 🤣 and “Tiiime on my hands”. You never fail to get old school songs stuck in my head.

"Heed that owls warning..." Killed me 😄

“She got bigger problems and also no problems anymore, ever again” 😂😂

I saw this one and it still is crazy. That part where everyone was just trippin and screaming always has me cracking up lol. Everybody bout to fall out! And yes Axel was giving Billy vibes from Black Christmas. Sarah be my bloody Valentine is one of those classic lines in horror movies

You are truly the highlight of my Sunday mornings. You are so naturally funny and just make my heart happy!

I’ve been filming a bunch of 80s movie reactions and was extremely disappointed until I watched MY BLOODY VALENTINE! It’s immediately a new fave! and your reaction: 🔥

One of the creepiest endings to a horror movie that gives chills every time, with Axell running away into the tunnels, possibly to bleed to death, the light fading as he asks Sarah to be his Valentine, his creepy lullaby and Harry Warden's insane laughter.

Another great start to the week with you Alanda. Btw, watch the 2009 Remake. It's the closest thing to a sequel. *Fun Facts* During the prime of Canuck-sploitation. George Mihalka created this movie that was conceived and produced entirely over the course of around a year, the film was shot on location in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, in the fall of 1980. It was theatrically released on February 11, 1981 by Paramount Pictures, coinciding with the Valentine's holiday. Unfortunately this movie was victm of butchering by MPAA. The notable censorship, having a total of nine minutes cut by the Motion Picture Association of America due to the amount of violence and gore. Though co-producer John Dunning confirmed that the excised footage still existed, attempts to release it proved difficult as Paramount Pictures refused to offer an uncut version. In 2009, Lionsgate subsequently licensed the home media rights to the film and both Paramount released Blu-ray and DVD editions with three minutes of additional footage restored. The Police Chief is voice actress Cree Summer Francks her Father.

I'm so excited to check this out! Usually I'm late to the game but you dropped this with perfect timing. You're one of my absolute favorites!

And just when I thought Alanda couldn't surprise me more, she watches this legendary horror film! PS, My Bloody Valentine is ALSO an incredible band ;)

Can't even walk over to the damn jukebox. 😂😂😂

The amount of cackling I did at this reaction. Great way to start the day!

I love that you're on a journey exploring classic slasher movies. You should check out the movie The Burning.

the uncut version is so good. they cut a lot out. like when Mabel pops out of the dryer there are a couple more tumbles. Also when the harbinger of Doom goes out to the mines to set up his prank the scene where he gets pickaxe to the face is cut out, you actually see his face with a pickaxe through it. Also the ending watching him cut off his arm is so horrifying and bone-chilling. This version was the theatrical version that was released.

10:24 Them not telling anyone to avoid causing a panic happened in the 2018 Halloween film as well causing people to be unprepared when Michael escaped, went back to Haddonfield and started killing again. And then in Halloween Kills the exact panic the useless sheriff Barker wanted to avoid happened when the people of Haddonfield found out Michael escaped and formed a mob to find and kill him but they were in such a frenzy they went after a harmless mental patient thinking he was Michael and the patient eventually killed himself rather than be killed by the mob. And even though they eventually found Michael and beat him down, he being the superhuman being he is got back up and killed them all.

best scene is still axel cutting his hand off and running into the mine laughing crazy and asking sarah to be his valetime

Another fantastic reaction! Great way to add to my lazy Sunday enjoyment. ❤️ Thank you again Alanda, you’re a treasure! Definitely recommend original recipes Prom Night and The Fog, and throw in Terror Train. All three are from 1980 and led by Jamie Lee Curtis. The Fog is more John Carpenter magic, and the soundtrack is one of the best ever and haunting. Prom Night and Terror Train are also Canadian horror gems like My Bloody Valentine. All three are underrated classics IMO just like this one. Also, the music and dancing for Prom Night is cheesy perfection that helps lighten the terrifying mood.

I’m so proud of the comment section for never spamming you for a hair, or skin or natural makeup video ☺️😩🤦🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

OMG I'm so glad you did this one. It's one of my favorites and I've been wanting to suggest it for a while. Have a great weekend beautiful and keep up the great work!

Well, I wanted the 2001 movie 'Valentine,' but this works too!! I just watched it at the theater the other day!

Love these kinds of old horror movies. They've got undeniable charm and paired with your commentary it's top notch entertainment 😂😂😂

"it has to be the 15th by now" LMAOOOOOO

There's actually special edition of this movie the uncensors the kills. There's two-and-a-half minutes of extra footage that they had to cut to get an R rating.

the old mine towns didnt need a police force, but they did have a large rescue force which could be used incase of emergency. my home town in the UK was a mining town and the rescue people far out weighed the police back in the day

I've waited a long time for you to do My bloody Valentine , a cult horror about the holidays

This movie has such a great sense of place and uses the mine and miner's outfit well. And your running commentary is so good!

Out of all the holiday themed 80s slashers, this one was always a favorite ❤⛏

depending on the version you watch some of the effects were cut out, but added back in, but to this day i believe the intial movie hasn't been fully restored

I thought the film was decent enough the first time I saw it, but I've grown to enjoy it significantly more with subsequent viewings. It may be faint praise to say that this is one of the better slasher films of the 1980s, but the movie has several things going for it: adult victims rather than teenagers (with fairly good characterization for a Golden Age slasher), an effectively creepy costume for the serial killer, and a memorable setting. On paper, it's essentially just a variation on fellow Canadian slasher flick Prom Night from the previous year, but it's a superior version of Prom Night in just about every way.

I love watching her reactions she is so entertaining

One of the very few movies filmed in Nova Scotia

”It has to be the 15th by now. All the lovers are dead” 😂

Hey Alanda Parker! A classic AP review! His heart was in Hot Dog water? Haha, if I had been drinking something when you said that it would've shot out my nose from laughing so hard 😅. There's nothing better than spending Sundays with you!

I literally watch it every Valentines Day! I watched it this Valentines Day and I was low key wondering if you’ve ever seen it!! Great reaction!!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜💜🔥🔥

Your sweet beauty is why I started watching these reactions. The only downfall to that is I get so distracted by watching and listening to you that I can't pay attention to the movies. Which is okay with me especially if I've already seen the movie you're reacting to. I'm going to have to join your patreon and start watching your full reactions. Please don't think I am creeping you or am weird. I am being sincere. You are INCREDIBLE!!!😍😍😍

The climax takes place on Saturday the 14th, so the day prior was Friday the 13th. (This was intentional.)

My birthday was Valentines, you’ve reacted to some of my favorite movies already and you’ve added another classic! I can’t wait for you to watch the remakes.

My Bloody Valentine was one of the Canadian slasher films of the early 1980s, along with Prom Night, Terror Train, and Happy Birthday To Me. You'll notice the Canadian accents and several scenes where Moosehead beer is prominently featured, and there's at least five scenes that take place in a bar or that show people drinking. 😆 🍺 🍻

Sarah really had to put up with the most 😭😂

OMG! I cried laughing watching this video. Dunno why, but this one really tickled me for some reason. Good work!

"They think they're in Footloose" LMAO

Miss Alanda Parker • Great review as usual. Kudos on catching the Canadian lingo, I don't know whether you're from Canada or not. I appreciate the shaking of the camera when Axel and TJ were fighting at the end of the movie knocking down the beams in the mine (unintentional special effect from you maybe). I also find it hilarious 😄 and sad at the same time that you get the majority of your horror movie knowledge from Scream movies. I wish you could have watched the unedited, original version of this movie it would have freaked you out even more especially the final end scene. And since you liked this movie consider watching a movie called "Mother Lode" (1982) I can promise you pickaxes and mine shafts.

There is a Canadian Slasher called Final Exam from church 1981, it’s generic but the really did a great job at making the characters 3 dimensional. You end up learning about their personal lives and aspirations before they’re killed

I’ve only seen newer My Bloody Valentine with Jensen Ackles in it because I’m a Supernatural fan and my dumbass never knew there was an original haha! Thanks Alanda! Love your videos!

Your Paula Abdul "oh oh oh" when you said straight up had me cackling laughing lol. Its these little clever references that get me every time I watch your channel lol Love your channel.!

Older horrors like this definitely bring something to the table. No CGI at all! I'd like to see your reaction to The Good Son! That one is definitely something to watch!

Not the hot dog water is so undignified 😂

I usually only watch reactions to movies I know, but you’re the exception. Even when I have no idea what’s happening with the movie, I know you’re going to make me laugh my ass off

“You play too much Mr Monopoly” I spit out my Pepsi 🤣

Perfect timing!! Feeling low so I needed a little reaction time with my fave! 😍😍

One of my all-time favorite slashers. I really wish we would've got a sequel. 1981 was my birthday year. And also one of the greatest years for horror.

Nothing like a *Canadian* horror movie to start your day! The most politest fear fest you'll ever have. I almost forgot... The Sheriff is played by singer, actor and voice actor Don Franks. He was best known by cartoon lovers as the voice of Sabertooth, Mok (rock & Rule) and the substitute Dr CLAW when Frank Welker was unavailable. His son is Rainbow Sun, best known from the listener and his daughter is Cree Summer, the voice of nearly every female from the mid 80s to now.

As always, love watching your reactions. Hope you've been doing well. Let's help her with the algorithm, y'all: watch the whole video, don't FF through any of it, like, comment, share(if you can), and subscribe if you haven't. She's a sweetheart & very fun to watch. Gotta try some suggestions(won't all be terrifying b/c I'm not trying to traumatize ya, lol). *Willow *The Goonies *Nightbreed *People Under the Stairs *Stay Tuned(1992) *Vampire in Brooklyn *Hellraiser I & II *Arrival *Interstellar *Cloud Atlas *The Marvel Movies & shows *The Magicians{show} *Lovecraft Country{show} *Buffy & Angel{show}

Lol I feel you on The Decent! I saw it in theaters & was shallow breathing the whole time 😂😅

Scream 2022 is Ready! ❤️ I already love your reaction

I thank my lucky stars that my little podunk hometown was not a *mining* podunk hometown because when we say there's nothing to do in small towns, we mean it

".......It's ya Mf'ing momeeeeeeent" LOL

Those miner outfits were scary asf and this is one of my all time fav horror movies a Valentine’s Day horror movie. The gore in one cut is so good.

"Will you be mine(d)?" I cackled way to hard at that.

ALAAAANDRAAAAAAA WHEN WE GETTING SCREAM 2022 reaction ✌🏻♥️

Hey Alanda! I love your reactions. ❤️ I don't know if you've ever considered doing collabs, but I'm a moderator for BillyBinges and whenever he talks about potential collabs, myself and many others in the chat tell him he needs to reach out to you because you are wonderful and fabulous. He said he'd try to find your contact info because he already follows you, so I hope you say, yes, if he gets in touch! Keep being amazing!

This is a phenomenal movie it's one of my favorite movies to watch on Valentine's Day LOL

Girl, you’re literally the best movie reactor on KZfaq!!! 🥰 btw you should totally watch Alice sweet Alice, it’s a very underrated horror movie!

Yeeeessss! I'm so glad you got to see this one! It's just such a shame how much of the gore got cut out for the theatrical version. It decades before those scenes were restored for the uncut version around the time the remake was released.

It’s my tradition to watch this every Valentine’s Day, since I’m single 😅

You asked if this town had their own police department. A lot of really (really) small towns don't. They're either overseen by the county sheriffs, or a neighboring town's police department is large enough to take care of two or three very small towns at a time. This is quite common practice in New England states.

I gotta tell you, the Chucky series reactions is some of the funniest videos i've ever seen on KZfaq. You had me in tears with your Chucky 2 reaction.

He really does give Billy from Black Christmas

Goddess, I love seeing you discover all these horror icons. Roach and Harry Warden and the rest. So many more to go!! :)

the best thing about this movie is that my favorite band of all time was named after it. Listen to the album "Isn't Anything" by My Bloody Valentine - you'e welcome. There's even a Carrie référence song called "Sue is Fine."

Speaking of KIRBY from scream 4, the new movie confirmed she lived 😉

I've been enjoying your videos, especially the horror movie ones. My recs for you include the original The Evil Dead (1981), The Blair Witch Project (1999), and The Cabin in the Woods. I'd love to see your reactions to these films.

I watched this last week too and really enjoyed it!! Definitely one of the better 80s slashers. Loved your reaction as always

“That Canadian is correct.” My thoughts exactly.😆 Love the hair waves today. Please tell me you’re reacting to TWD as well as movies this winter/spring.🙏🏻🤞 EDIT: A recommendation: a great horror movie for April is April Fool’s Day with the fantastic Deborah Foreman, from 1986. Classic 80s slasher.

I saw the remake in theaters. Honestly can't remember if the story line was any good, but it's campy and ridiculous. If you're interested and if you have a friend with a 3D television, watch it on that.

Maybe I’m a dumbass but I always imagine the killer in this movie singing “My Funny Valentine” like Kyle from Living Single as he kills. 😂😂😂

Your reactions and personality give me life! I love it. Would you ever considered playing Until Dawn? I would LOVE to see you play it and react to it.

The woman’s scream caught me off guard in the beginning. It sounded funny, am I the only one that thought that. 😂

You got a like from me for the LOVE IS STRANGE reference!!!

I've watched this video a couple of times. I think it's your funniest one so far! "BLEAK!", the 30-something "kids", and the guy picking his girlfriend up by the head to kiss her cracks me up every time

1981 was a great year for slasher movies. Some more that are worth checking out: Hell night, Madman, The burning. Just before dawn, Friday the 13th part 2.

My favourite of these old horror movies is one hardly anyone mentions. It’s called Murder at the Manchester Morgue. It’s silly, it’s creepy and it made me fall in love with the 70’s. I encourage everyone to watch it.

15:04 Hotdogs with a side of drowning.

14:00 I swear you are the queen of commentary here!
