Poll: You're favourite of these masters of horror?

Note: I don't condone Landis as a person... but it would have seemed strange to not include him here.

Kliph Nesteroff: There was a sequel to the blaxploitation movie Black Caesar called Hell Up in Harlem. Both were directed by Larry Cohen for American International Pictures and they came out one after the other. You and James Brown did the soundtrack to the first film, but not the second. Edwin Starr from Motown did music for the second film. How come...?

Fred Wesley: Yeah, yeah. That’s a good story. We finished the movie music. James Brown told me to take it out to California. We were in Augusta when we finished it. We packaged it up. It was on a two-track tape and I took it to Larry Cohen. Larry listened to it and he shook his head. He said, “This ain’t funky. It’s not funky enough.” I said, “What?” It was very funky. He didn’t know funk from stunk. Anyway, I said, “Okay, well, you tell James Brown it's not funky enough. I’m not going to tell him it's not funky enough.” Phoned James Brown up, “I said Larry Cohen says it ain’t funky enough.” And I handed the phone to Larry Cohen. Larry turned about four shades of red and blue. He was saying, “Yeah, but… I mean… yeah, but… I… but I…” He handed the phone back to me. You could hear over the phone, “[screaming][growling].” I picked it up, took it back to Augusta, Georgia, and James Brown put the music out. It turned out to be The Payback – his funkiest album and the only million seller James Brown ever had.

Kliph Nesteroff: You were hired to do the music for Hell Up in Harlem and the music was turned down.

Fred Wesley: Yes. We did it. We did all the music! Larry Cohen said it was not funky enough (laughs).

Body Horror Beatdown, Match 13, Round 1

Vote for your favorite:

Propaganda under the cut.

The Stuff:

Are you eating it... or is it eating you?

“The Stuff perfectly combines horror, camp, and commentary. Soulless capitalist marketing of mind and body destroying mystery goo, sold despite the dangers because people will spend lots of money it, and heroes who light shit on fire? You can't go wrong!”

“While working overnight, several Georgian quarry workers discover a gooey, white substance, akin to marshmallow fluff, bubbling out of the earth. Without a modicum of forethought, they stick it in their mouths. Oh god, it… tastes incredible! Better than any dessert on the market! The market. Imagine if they could sell this “stuff” to the public. Now wouldn’t that be an idea.

The substance proves to be not only delicious, but wildly addicting. The nation is taken by absolute storm! Unsure of how to compete with The Stuff’s sales, the bigwigs of several ice cream corporations collectively turn to David “Mo” Rutherford, an industrial saboteur.

Meanwhile, Jason faces increasing pressure from his family to try The Stuff. It’s seemingly all they ever eat nowadays. Despite their attempts to gaslight him, however, Jason knows he saw some of it moving around in the refrigerator…

HOLY HELL! Mo just punched half that guy’s face clean off!

No blood?

Wait…

Is that… Is that Stuff oozing out of him…!?”

Beetlejuice: He's the ghost with the most.

"Beetlejuice is a rotting corpse ghost and uses that to be generally gross. Other ghosts are shown dismembered or with shrunken heads and the two hero ghosts distort their bodies in an attempt to be more frightening. It’s not the scariest but it’s kind of nasty."
