MONDAY NIGHT HORROR Mike Trentacosta

This week, the guys are watching the remake of House on Haunted Hill. It is nowhere near as good as the original, but its still a fun movie. To make it even better, Mike and Mike are watching it on VHS...on a 25 year old vcr/tv combo. Let the technical problems commence!

In the spirit of full disclosure, the first 4 minutes of this episode are of Mike and Mike digging through old Halloween candy in another room. We could easily edit this out, but the guys believe that moments like this are what allow the audience to catch a fleeting glimpse into the subtle sophistication that defines the hosts of Monday Night Horror. Anyway, Mike and Mike are watching the 90s version of the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is just titled Body Snatchers. Don't fall asleep, or an alien pod might spaghetti the human juice out of you and leave you an empty husk with yesterdays trash.

Have you ever been killed by an angry pilgrim? Have you ever had someone killing you with such intensity that you thought "wow, they must have been an angry pilgrim in a former life"? Regardless, Mike and Mike are watching Thanksgiving. In this fun, holiday slasher, the folks of Plymouth get their holiday butchered by none other than an angry pilgrim. Whatdya got to say about that, Pilgrim?

Unlike his Halloween trilogy, which started strong and then rapidly declined, David Gordon Green decided to start his exorcist trilogy in the septic tank, so he'd have nowhere to go but up. Unfortunately for him and fortunately for us, he was fired after making this bland, boring, generic exorcism movie, so we will never have to see another DGG Exorcist. The title Believer is certainly true. After watching this, you'll be a believer. You'll believe that the original Exorcist is the only movie in franchise worth watching. You'll believe that the director was justly removed from the project. And you'll believe that even the most mind numbing movies are better when you watch along with your pals Mike and Mike.

6 Months later - The guys have finally worked up the stomach to watch the rest of Halloween Ends. Do you know how people say that something is like watching a car accident - it is so bad that you can't look away? Well this movie is similar to that. This is like Mike and Mike are trying to watch a car accident, but they can't because they're stuck watching the rest of this stupid fucking movie. This is the movie that should have really been called Halloween Kills. Not only does it kill the trilogy, the franchise, and DGGs career, but it also kills the enthusiasm and interest of anyone watching it. Check back soon though, because after the guys finished watching this albatross, they decided to watch some actual good movies...

What is this nonsense, you ask? Well, Mike and Mike are doing a blind taste test of Dr. Pepper and all of the Dr. Pepper knockoffs they can find, in order to determine who is the greatest doctor. And, as a way to relate the idiocy to horror, they are doing a king of the ring style showdown of some of the most prominent doctors in all of horror. Yep.
