If I was smarter I would have picked Michael Crichton’s Westworld to tie-in with HBO’s hit series debut, but I was in the mood for splatter instead. Halloween is quickly approaching after all and I felt like paying off my annual debt to the horror genre here first with the Troma superhero film that started it all #IdBuyThatForADollar

Dollar Reviews 028: Yoga Hosers
We begin with the latest experiment in Kevin Smith’s post “I don’t give a fuck,” weed fueled leg of his career – the famous daughter starring, teen scream, Yoga Hosers. Then I gush over Wes Craven’s underrated New Nightmare (38:09), Steve tries to make you gasp with Don’t Breathe (46:29) and The Time Machine (49:26), then I give a freeze frame of Demolition Man (54:49) and House of 1000 Corpses (56:09). Finally I quickly scoop Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1’s betas (1:04:18) before sharing the latest sonic stylings of Frank Ocean and Vince Staples (1:07:09).
Debt to Cinema 042: The Witches
I’m fairly critical of this widely unseen childhood horror flick, but I give my reasons. I get truly animated towards the end once we get to the film’s bullshit ending though. My problems aside, this is a fun and pretty damn spooky Roald Dahl adaptation with some great Jim Henson puppet work sure to please the kiddies come October.
Debt to Cinema 032: Cat People (1942)
I thought Steve was kitten when he said hiss pick this week was made to coincide with the release of Key and Peele’s Keanu. Is cat seriously the best he could come up with? Meow, I personally try to make purrfect selections, but when I’m feline lazy I might slip up too. (Note: Puns can be dangerous, I tail’ya stay safe out there)
Debt to Cinema 012: Gremlins
Tis the season and also time for Steve to finally see a holiday classic. This one is for the people that enjoy snow the most when its dark, and sprinkled in blood. Fun Fact: Steve literally bought this for a dollar from his library.
