And the 80's movies week enters its third round.

Today with the Dudes of Wrath. For those Kiss fans still unfamiliar with the Dudes of Wrath, let me tell you that they were an all-star band, or rather a buddy project between Paul Stanley, Desmond Child and Jean Beauvoir, who were joined by a few other not unillustrious names within the hard rock scene to record the theme song for the latest, lively Wes Craven horror film at the time (1).

Which unfortunately flopped, and therefore did not quite live up to expectations as the successor to Freddy Krueger and the A Nightmare on Elm Street series associated with it. And somehow this also applies to its title track, despite hit guarantor Desmond Child. And despite Shocker's undeniable proximity to Alice Cooper's Poison from the latter's mega-seller Trash, on which Desmond famously had nine of his ten fingers in the pie.

Just compare the verses and choruses of both songs without obligation and in a relaxed manner. And perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to also listen to Alice's Spark in the Dark afterwards.

Side Note:

(1) Who would have wanted to miss such an opportunity? Even Vinnie Vincent was once on board one year earlier for The Dream Master soundtrack in '88.

Question: What do these things all have in common? Everybody knows that they’re mother fucking monsters! Or, you know, maybe not. These aren’t your Jasons or Leatherfaces or Ghostfaces; these are cult classics, weirdos, or the kind of villains that require a bit more horror knowledge than just the major franchises. In the spirit of the Halloween season, let’s decide which of these horrors will get the spotlight this time.

1. The titular leprechaun of his home series, and perhaps the silliest slasher around.

2. Wes Craven’s attempt to redo the body-jacking Freddy of Freddy’s Revenge, except this time as a serial killer with a fucked up foot who transcends his execution with magic.

3. A demonic spirit of vengeance with one of the coolest monster designs ever.

4. A deranged serial killer played by the Baron of Body Horror, David Cronenberg.

5. Run, run, run as fast as you can! This here’s Gary Busey’s killer gingerbread man!

6. A killer tire. No, seriously.

7. Probably the biggest jackass genie in all of fiction.

8. Before there was Slender Man, there was the Tall Man, a supernatural horror who can give you the chills just by standing there…. Menacingly!!!

9. The sexy biker vampire who leads the pack in Schumacher’s homoerotic masterpiece. I may or may not want to get railed by him.

10. The evil doppelgänger of the protagonist of Jordan Peele’s most divisive film. There’s some twists and turns with this one.

Shocker (1989)

Directed by: Wes Craven Genre: Horror, comedy

CW: Gore?? Mostly blood in excess at times but I can't really say it's that bad. Originally written 11/25/2022

So when this was originally written I had been in the process of watching this movie for the third time in two days. This film had and still does affect me. I love quoting it and sending this reaction gif from it.

Is it any good? Yes.... but it's complicated. A poster like this doesn't quite scream quality does it? I think Shocker boasts a unique experience, though I don't think its good by traditional standards.

So, part of the appeal for me with this film is it's issues. Not quite in the "so bad its good way" either, though that phenomenon has a bit of a roll to play here. There is this bizarre charm to it's wrong or weird choices. It has a sort of sincerity to it which I don't know how to explain without just sitting you in front of the movie and having you watch it.

The movie is absurd and self aware enough about this fact that the bizarre choices end up being very likeable. At the same time, parts of the movie's plot seem haphazard and confusing in their lack of sense. Silliness pervades every aspect of this film.

The movie is an intense cat and mouse thriller, but it's bad guy has electricity powers and says one liners like "Come on boy. Let's take a ride in my Voltswagon!"

And I think it's this strange combination of high angst and on the nose puns that has gripped me so much. There is a certain delight in giggling away as the main character gets attacked by the bad guy who is now possessing a chair. Or a scene the bad guy is making a deal with the devil and the devil appears as a pair of giant lips and says, "You got it, baby".

Shocker fills a niche role where its possible for all these things to coincide. I mean where else will you have a big epic punching match through a series of tv channels?

So, I'm trying to be fair here but there is difficulty in rating this movie because I am very taken with this movie. It's not a great film, but it offers you a great time.

So our movie begins on the football field. Jonathan Parker is your average college football jock.. But is he!?!? Well yes, but he’s got a sordid past that he doesn’t remember (yet). Upon receiving a concussion at practice, he is imbued with psychic powers that activate when he sleeps.

His dreams show him the murders of Horace Pinker, a serial killer who has been killing local families. No one seems to be able to track him at all as he leaves virtually no trace, but Jonathan’s visions give him a pretty precise depiction and even lead him to active crime scenes. Though, confusingly (though frankly it does not matter) it seems as though Jonathan can interact with Pinker in the dreams as well.

Since Johnathan's father's a cop, Jonathan quickly convinces him that he can help the police catch this guy, and that is exactly what they manage to do, though not without a few officers getting brutally murdered along the way.

Well, now that we've caught him- it's time for the electric chair BABY LETS GOOOO and thus begins the meat and potatoes of this movie- the cat and mouse chase between Jonathan and the body hopping electricity wielding Horace.

During all this we get some hilarious moments including my favorite chair scene. Horace posses a handful of people, including a little ten year old. She commandeers a bulldozer to try and kill Jonathan.

The goofiness is peak here.

But as I said, the movie lacks in other areas. Explanations are very short coming. There is no explanation for why Jonathan receives these powers from a concussion- after all this is football we're talking about. Surely every man out there has had at least one before.

Why is only Jonathan's dead girlfriend able to communicate with Horace? I think it's because of the power of love but there is no in universe logic that explains it.

And what about these visions? It seems unclear how much ability Jonathan has to interact with those within it. At some points it seems like they should think him legitimately there, and other times it feels like they couldn't possibly.

I must say though, while there are a plethora of inconsistencies and plot-holes, I was largely unbothered by them. Some how this is one of those movies that tickles my fancy in just the right way so as to get me to not care. It's immaterial and after seeing this movie a total of four times, I've never been left wanting more than I've already been given.

I think I am compelled to give this movie a rating in the 6-7 range, but closer to a six. That being said, I sort of wish everyone and their mothers would see it. That chair scene is a cinematic masterpiece.
