A very different movie this week and an odd one to find itself on the Video Nasty list.
This is a completely different kind of disturbing, but disturbing none-the-less. I struggle with my viewpoint on this movie.

The Werewolf and the Yeti - Lisa's Review
I'll start by saying, this is one crazy assed movie. I could probably do with a second watch to make much sense of it, but my abject lack of enjoyment of any aspect of it, prevents me from doing so. One thing I have learnt from this 'Nasties' experience is that I'm not a fan of the 'so bad its good' movies.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Evil Dead : The Musical - Lisa's Review
So the last one on our Shocktober list is a musical!! Yes, you heard me right. Evil Dead - The Musical to be precise. Now I am not a fan of musicals and even moreso when they are not in the medium they need to be in (sat in front of a stage), but hey you got to give it a go.
I wouldn't say I sat down and enjoyed this movie/screener of the musical as its not meant to be watched like this, but I can say this did make me want to go see it. It looks like it would be an awesome night out with friends. It is a must see for horror fans, even moreso for Evil Dead fans.
I like the movie, but am not a die-hard fan, so I would probably miss a lot of the humour (and this musical is very much coming from a funny place) and 'In' jokes, so I'm sure big fans would enjoy it more than me, but I would like to see it none the less.
They have also created a 'Splatter Zone' in the first few rows where audience members are spattered with blood periodically throughout the show. I can imagine these seats sell out pretty fast!
One thing I've never been a fan of is the mixing of horror and humour (apart from a few exceptions, most notably Shaun of the Dead), but this seems to work. I certainly will be off to see it if it ever ventures near me. Sadly I doubt it will.
The makers of the musical do seem to be genuine fans of the movie and it is done almost like a 'homage' to the original material, ensuring a thumbs up from the legions of fans this movie has.
So, definately a different one this week and although it didn't feel like watching a movie as such, it looks like a fun experience.

The Werewolf and The Yeti - Will's Review
This one is a gap in the run for many who have tried to attempt the DPP72, as it has never been re-released in the UK or the US... I'm therefore forgiving myself the late review, instead being great full that there's a review at all, however untimely. I'll give a full (as I can manage) plot summery at the end of the review, because this is a tough one to get hold of, and you may want to read about it, given that its a tough one to get to see.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Evil Dead : The Musical - Will's Review
PLEASE NOTE: This review is based on a screener copy made at the "Just for Laughs" festival a few years ago. This has never been released to the public, and the only legitimate way to see this musical is to go see it live.
