Statler and Waldorf

#svengoolie

It's been many a year since we watched the very first Friday the 13th movie. Should be fun!

And only one day after an actual Friday the 13th!

#svengoolie

"Hooray! He's leaving! And only about ten of us died! We beat the spread!"

#svengoolie

Later in the village, the judge said "Shooting him! Of course! We should have just shot him instead of hanging!"

#svengoolie

"Heckled by a policeman"?

If he calls that heckling, he needs to get out more.

#svengoolie

???

Is that...Phil Hartman?

Maybe more like...

And then he took the grass and made it into a monster made entirely of grass!

#svengoolie

They should go upstairs and eat some Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. That wakes monsters up.

#svengoolie

"We'll try you again and hang you, Igor!"

"That would be Double Jeopardy!"

"Don't hide behind American game shows, you creep!"

#svengoolie

That's right! When you're creating a monster, it's important to find savings where you can!

#svengoolie

"I will now begin my experiment to create a living being from dead tissue! What about you, my dear wife?"

"I am beginning my experiment, to conjure, from nothing, a divorce!"

#svengoolie

"My father left me this dramatic monologue to remember him by. Oh! And a coupon for Doordash!"

#svengoolie

Hey! Maybe Basil Rathbone's character could take a local sports team out to a big party to get some goodwill.

Mel Brooks was at the impressionable age of 13 when this came out. Sitting there getting ideas.

"Someday should I make a spoof of this movie?"

#svengoolie

He really should have hired a "hype man".

#svengoolie

"We're here to tell you in no uncertain terms that we don't like you."

Reminds Statler of many Thanksgiving dinners with in-laws.

Perry Ivins | Actor, Additional Crew Known for: Son of Frankenstein, Burning Up, Tol'able David

The other Perry Mason connection was Perry Ivins, who plays "Fritz" tonight. That could be anyone in this film, we realize.

PERRY MASON REPORT

Only two people in this movie were ever connected to Perry Mason. Clearly Perry hates the Frankenstein's as much as these village idiots!

One was Josephine Hutchinson!

"Yes, I, Bela Lugosi, am here to show my acting ability once again!" #svengoolie

#svengoolie

And we all will next week too!!

Like CK Dexter Haven, we have unexpected depth.

#svengoolie

See you next week! Watch out for disintegration rays!

#svengoolie

That was one of the best Svengoolie live tweet sessions!

#svengoolie

Next week: Young Frankenstein, the prequel.

#svengoolie

We know we keep bringing up the book. But in it, the aliens are killed by disease. And the narrator kind of says. "Well, we survived by pure luck. Nothing we did. "

#svengoolie

Imperialism carries with it the seeds of its own failure. Imperialism corrupts the colony and the colonizer.

See also Joseph Conrad.

#svengoolie

Also, the sound effects in the movie are amazing. The noises build and build and then goes deadly quiet when the Martian ship crashes at the end.
