Hey guys...you know what would be fun to do for a season finale and finale of the third annual Forgotten Horror? Let's Scare Jessica to Death!!! Get it? Because that's the movie that the Mikes are talking abou.....those boo's better be from ghosts!!!
Mike Field and Mike Butler talk about the 1971 film, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, directed by John D. Hancock, who got the directing gig for Jaws 2 based on one of the scenes from this film...before he got himself fired from said big career opportunity.
The Mikes will bring up that fact and more as they discuss what they thought of this film. From the odd way they present the vampires in the film, to the poor use of the supporting actors. Butler will lament that although the idea of the film is solid and the attempt at tackling themes of mental health within a horror film is admirable for a film from 1971, everything else is incredibly lackluster and handled in such a muddled way. Field will of course disagree with Butler and talk about his respect for a low budget film that goes so far and gets the director a shot at the big show; even if said director does blow it. Butler is probably wrong though, as this is one of Stephen King's favorite horror films.
So grab your frog's breath and worm's wort, please don't eat the deadly nightshade to the left and right of you and prepare for Halloween as you listen to the finale to the third annual Forgotten Horror!
