Surprisingly hilarious show tonight, folks! Great to see Fulci not take him awesome craft too seriously. I'm continuing the meta-horror theme and falling asleep to Cabin in the Woods! Thanks for the fun tonight, and sleep well, horror fans!

Thank you, kind! He's directed enough relatedly-baffled people over the years that he should have picked up some pointers! ๐๐๐๐จ

I'm honestly beginning to think that during the filming of this Fulci had 50 First Dates (2004)-style amnesia, and he would reset daily & be like, "Alright, let's film the scene where the naked lady gets murdered ..." and they didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise.

And that's a wrap! Here's my new drawing of Lucio Fulci as Lucio Fulci to celebrate tonight's Fright Club presentation of Cat in the Brain!

I might be a bit slow here, but the only thing I don't understand about Fulci starring in and directing this film, is if Lucio is acting, then who is sitting behind the camera in that silly little fold-up chair with a bullhorn and riding crop?

Pen drawing a of a cartoonish man wearing a hat upside down with a woman bathing in it drawn on a black background.
While the violence kind of overpowers it, I think this film also might actually have more gratuitous T & A than a Russ Meyer film -- which is not an easy cinematic task!

Seriously though, this does feel strangely like a Troma Film (Said as high praise, without doubt)! Of course, if it was a Troma film, all of the blood splatter would have to be green or yellow in a Sisyphean attempt to appease the MPAA out of an NC-17 rating ...

Pen drawing of Lloyd Kaufman weairng a flannel suit drawn on a torn-out book page.
We're gonna find out at the end of the movie that Lloyd Kaufman slipped Fulci some LSD and has been messing with him with various Toxic Avenger II props and recorded what happened ...

Italian grindhouse horror can get practially surrealist with the "Just Roll With It" philosophy! Plot particulars may be hard to pin down, but dang, is it an experience!

Dang! That creepy kid from The Brood grew up fast!

Pen drawing of Dario Argento wearing a suit and looking to the left drawn on a black background.
Love how bonkers this is! I'd like to believe Fulci made this film because Dario Argento was slated to direct but secretly hated it, and talked-it-up to Fulci's face to hand it off; You know, similar to what Schwarzenegger did to Stallone with Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Dang! Fulci was doing creepy big camera pointing before David Lynch made it cool!

Those are some good points! Definitely wonderful enhancements to the cinematic experience! If only they could get the fire department to go lax on the smoking regulations for Godard Nights; it feels like general principle! ๐คฃ๐๐

๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ If he starts talking about how all of the actors on the set are a "bunch of phonies ..." we'll know his checkered hat had taken on the Holden Caulfield personality! Always either Fudds, Caulfieds, or Geins wearing those hats!

Pen drawing of Leaterface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre holding a chainsaw above his head drawn on a book page.
I find it unfair that when chainsaws appear in a giallo or Euro-Horror movie, critics lap it up, yet when it happens in American grindhouse film, it's considered crude ... Just because you can buy a cuppuccino in the lobby of an art house theater doesn't make you better!

Fake Movie Facts: Lucio Fulci was so proud of his Second Place Winning Ed Gein Halloween costume from 1989, he insisted on wearing it throughout production of Cat in the Brain ...
