@@juicyfruit6311 Imagine how good ITHOTN could have been if they'd had Jeepers as well. Given the location and subject matter, he could have worn the same hat in both.
This film was actually a sequel to a 1966 film called The Las Vegas Hillbillys, with Mamie Van Doren playing Boots Malone. Ferlin Husky also starred in that one along with Jayne Mansfield and Richard Kiel!
Too bad Mickey Hargitay (Mr. Mansfield at one point) couldn’t make the cut, but we’ll always have _Bloody Pit of Horror,_ and those red red tights too! 🙀😹
I'm a simple man. I see a Rifftrax notification, all of a sudden the next hour and five minutes opens up for me. Funny af... a real stress reliever. These guys are top tier humorists and quite amazing. I don't know how they do it.
MST3K has literally been a life saver for me during rough points over the years. I never imagined we would get a new era of riffing by the these guys-- yet here we are! 💜
I'm glad to see the continuity editor from Plan 9 From Outer space got to do more stellar work on this film, seamlessly blending day scenes with night ones
“Of course I’ll say yes to this, I’ll be in literally anything! Hillbillys in a Haunted House? Done! Billy the Kid Versus Dracula? Sign me up! Red Zone Cuba? I’ll sing the theme music!”
The guy singing with the winceful glee of an IBS sufferer absolutely killed me with the stupid "TraaAaaAaaAaaAancCe" song. I laughed way harder than I should have.
the non Riff version of this is on UA-cam and popped into my feed. If you're thinking this seems like a short film it's cause the uncut version pads this thing out with another 25-30 mins of them AT THE JAMBOREE doing nothing but singing more songs to end the movie.
"Manos 2: The Master Goes Country." I love that, after three decades, you guys are still making fun of Manos. It's like...your trademark. Never change, boys.
TV's Frank mentioned Ferlin Husky during the outro of the MST3K episode where the Mads introduced the new Country radio station named for Frank. "Turn your crank to Frank!"
One day I'll figure out how to go from talking with normal small room acoustics to singing with cathedral-level tons of reverb just like that.The ultimate party trick.
Where would we be without these three still continuing to make us laugh? And where would the band in this movie not be without the stellar guidance of their manager Jeepers?
It's more like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. meets The Beverly Hillbillies and Scooby Doo. The spies at the beginning look like THRUSH agents with their suits and fedoras, and the acronym M.O.T.H.E.R. for the good guy intelligence organization is clearly a take-off of U.N.C.L.E.
This video is part of my mental healing program. I have watched it many times. This particular time 'these calls cost $80 per minute' made me loose it for a minute. 😂 I'm not one to call myself a fan of just anyone or anything. First and foremost...I'm a Chiefs fan (since '88) 🍾 I'm a fan of you guys as well.
41:55 I know Rifftrax makes a lot of obscure references, but still surprised they did that one. If you thought the 2016 Ghostbusters was bad, you haven't seen the 1970's version.
What do you have if you have a large spooky house, A Madame Wong, a sweaty guy with an ape, an agent Toy, some hillbillies, boots & country music. A RiffTrax party. 🤣😅
Ah yes, the winning combo of hillbillies and haunted houses, never fails! 😇 EDIT: "This is the movie where two Alfreds and no Batman would look like" Aaand thank you for me making me choke on my coffee 🤣
Okay campers, legit music trivia time: Jeepers is played by Don Bowman, who co-wrote "I'm Leaving It All Up to You" and "Big Boy Pete," and wrote the 1974 Jim Stafford hit "Wildwood Weed."
Now I want a movie like the Spider-verse one where different Alfreds have to figure out where their Batmen are and fix the tear in the dimension time thingy while trying to stop multiple Penguins (one of them being an actual penguin) from taking over the city. I do feel sorry for Basil Rathbone, John Carradine, and Lon Cheney Jr. being stuck in this crap though.
*sigh* Rathbone, Carradine, Chaney, what are you legends doing here?... "Hello? Fake 1970s Ghostbusters?" I love how everyone calls them the FAKE Ghostbusters, despite them clearly being here first by a considerable margin. That's how little staying power they had. lol
I like how at the beginning they say it's going to rain any minute and then it never actually rains the entire movie.
And they're so eager to get inside before it rains, but not that eager to put the top up on the convertible.
Not to mention the fact that there isn't a cloud in the sky, and there's bright sunshine. The thunderclaps seem just a bit out of place!
And it looks filmed in LA at 80 degrees!
Hey, you think they've got the budget for a water guy?
It does rain at 8:44. Its a fraction of a second, so its understandable that you would miss it. The film is still bad, though.
Both MST3k and RiffTrax have given us more entertainment than our lives can handle.
Agreed!
True dat!!
I've handled it pretty well.
@@JFmK-sh5nh All you need is a few buds and you can handle it.
More! MORE!! MORE!!!!!
Hillbillys In A Haunted House sounds like the title for a PSA about the dangers of Meth.
(quickly updated for fentanyl)
I would have gone with "The House Without Copper."
How the Academy gave "In the Heat of the Night" the Best Picture Oscar instead of this gem will forever be one of the unexplained mysteries of life.
Tough call. On one hand, you have Sidney Poitier. On the other, you have Jeepers. Hmmmm....

@@laurallewien2165 - Hi Laural! Hope you are well.
Well, I guess I have to add that to the watch list.
So this film was part of the greater Hillbilly/Hillbillie Cinematic Universe?
Too bad Mickey Hargitay (Mr. Mansfield at one point) couldn’t make the cut, but we’ll always have _Bloody Pit of Horror,_ and those red red tights too!
🙀😹
Jeepers has the kind of nervous energy chihuahuas aspire to.
This movie is like an episode of Scooby-Doo, if you replaced everybody with Scrappy.
This movie predates scooby doo by two years.
I legit wonder if it inspired the show...
💀
I swear I'm losing my mind in thus one best ever so far
And yet that would still be better than the live action movies
@@MercenaryX21 I thought were OK kinda. Not great, but I'm not really a Scooby-Doo fan anyways
I never thought I'd say it, but this script makes Troll 2 look like a brilliant masterpiece.
This is like a crossover between 2 shows that never existed
Still think this feels like a Hanna Barbera production with the laugh track taken out.
Why not? The actual movie without the riffing plays like a bad episode of The Hillbilly Bears!
"You shall all taste the wrath of Jeepers" needs to be a t-shirt.
If Manos: The Hands of Fate met The Beverly Hillbillies.
Nah Manos had a genuinely eerie quality to it

I never knew that if you sing in a convertible while it's traveling down the highway, it sounds just like you are in an echo chamber.
They're on the way to Nashville dammit!
My face during -that scene- the whole damn movie was some combination of horror, confusion, embarrassment and pain.
It’s those magic horns on the hood! Redirects all incoming air! How else can that guy sit on a crate in the back seat?!

Hillbillys in a Haunted House, Moonshiners in a Mutated Mansion and Banjo Bums in the Banshee Bayou is my favorite backwoods country horror trilogy.
You had to have made that up
Please tell me those are all real movies! This belongs at the top
I'm glad to see the continuity editor from Plan 9 From Outer space got to do more stellar work on this film, seamlessly blending day scenes with night ones
It's good knowing these guys never lost their touch.
The opening is the first fusion of corny 50s-era country and 50s-era jazz I've ever heard.
My mind may never recover.
Jeepers is like Shaggy minus the quiet dignity.
😂😂😂😂😂
“It’s a ghost!”
Kevin: “Put on Unchained Melody and see if he gets sexy by the pottery wheel!”
Holy hell, it really is Basil Rathbone!
“Of course I’ll say yes to this, I’ll be in literally anything! Hillbillys in a Haunted House? Done! Billy the Kid Versus Dracula? Sign me up! Red Zone Cuba? I’ll sing the theme music!”
Basil Rathbone and Merle Haggard are in this movie, I cannot stress that enough.

Never change, boys.
It took my a while to notice the lady's name is "boots". I thought she was named after... something else.
I was confused for a moment when the guy yelled, "Boobs! Boobs!"
I was like, "what did he saayyyyy"
Same 😇
To be fair, her boobs are fucking gigantic.
Books?
Every time they say "Jeepers" (no last name given) I can't help but think- "Really writers? Jeepers? That sounded good to you?"
Same for the girl being named Boots. It took me over ten minutes in to realize that was her actual name.
At first I swore she was singing "Guns, guns, beautiful guns" and was less surprised than realizing it was "gowns"
And I thought “Living In A Trance” was “Living In A Train,” for a long, long time. 😂
"It's the Gary Indiana of real estate"
I spat my drink out.
“Boots’ favorite song is the first few bars of whatever the hell is playing.”
ha ha. "hittin' me with a pillow all sexy like". too funny
Honestly if I saw Hillbillys in a Haunted House as a kid, I would've thoroughly enjoyed it
At around 13:15 we were given the answer to what happened to "5 Neat Guys" from the Second City TV series.
Love the cameo from the Satellite of Love in the intro.
Man, Joi Lansing was something else!
Only 30 seconds in and I'm already loving it. Someone named "Ferlin Husky" AND they don't know how to spell "Hillbillies"? This is gonna be rich!
I actually danced with Ferlin Husky's daughter in the USAF at Upper Heyford, England. Never seen him till this movie.
TV's Frank mentioned Ferlin Husky during the outro of the MST3K episode where the Mads introduced the new Country radio station named for Frank. "Turn your crank to Frank!"
And Ferlin’s most popular song was “Wings of a Dove,” which the bots sing a couple of times in “Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues.”
@@jillionsofcrafts6255 "On the wings of a snow white dove he sends us his pure sweet love"?

"Jeepers won't be happy until he finds his true calling: managing GWAR."
Well I think we now know the origin story of Sleazy P. Martini.
WOW this is the earliest version fo "The Cat Came Back" I've ever heard! Classic children's song.
The outdoor light and darkness rival that of Plan 9. Sun is out and sky is blue, go inside the house and outside is dark and rainy with lightning.
I don’t like type of music in this, but these people are good at it!
19:20 so this is where they got the idea for Cabin In The Woods.
"I think this exposition needs exposition" omg the amount of times I've felt that with different movies holy shit, I feel so heard
"Jeepers won't be happy until he finds his true calling, managing GWAR."
Did NOT expect that reference. made this old bohab smile.

🎶Gowns! Gowns! Beautiful gowns!🎶
This film was shown a lot with AIP beach films on TV in the 1960's and early 1970's.
So this movie is what you get when you put in Get Smart, Beverly Hillbillies, and Scooby Doo in a blender.
Apparently it blended up everything that was good about those series and just gave us the campy cheesy parts.
But drained out all the things that made those shows watchable.
It's more like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. meets The Beverly Hillbillies and Scooby Doo. The spies at the beginning look like THRUSH agents with their suits and fedoras, and the acronym M.O.T.H.E.R. for the good guy intelligence organization is clearly a take-off of U.N.C.L.E.

"Anyone can play a guitar, that doesn't make them entertainers!" Sounds like the scriptwriters have seen a few street musicians...
"Again, nearly shot several times."
That was probably the funniest rifftrax I've seen and believe me I've seen a lot of riffs.
A movie that stars 3 actors and one boom mic.
This movie isn't anything special but man does that opening song stick in your head. I keep finding myself just randomly singing 'We're on our way'.
I'm surprised this is only 64 minutes, it feels much longer
It is longer. Just not THIS cut.
LOL @ "I'm not exactly built for peeking around corners."
This is the scariest film I've seen all October
9:32 “well it’s not exactly a Hilton hotel” but it’s still better than staying at Motel 6.

I don't think they're going to be happy until they've gone through John Carridine's entire catalog.
“Producing a music jamboree doesn’t seem to justify Jeepers’s crippling PTSD.”😅
At 30:36 you can see the boom mic at the top-right, and now this movie has charm.
I've heard that the movie actually ends with a 15 minute long scene of them at the Nashville concert that you guys mercifully decided to cut
Yep. Heard that, too.
It does, and its painful to watch, esp jeepers performance or song or talk or whatever the hell it was.
15 minutes of really bad country music?!
🥺😱🤯😵🪦
Oh god...
Oddly enough ive seen that specific car in person. The handles on the door are made from pistols and there are silver dollars in the dashboard.

They have some great reverb for singing in an open convertible.

Soooo many costume changes in a 2 min vid! 😂
I’m watching based on the title alone
It's a fantastic riff.
Best. Title. Ever!
I first saw this movie at a drive in theater. I was tripping and I remember that it seemed much better.
Every time I rewatch this, I lose it at “John Carradine’s son is down here autoerota-affixicatin’ himself!”
3:14 jeeper's impersonation of Lee Harvey Oswald.
18:55 Hanna-Barbera definitely ripped this movie off for Scooby Doo.
34:20 Red Zone Cuba deep cut!
I'm getting a real Scooby Doo vibe from this ..... film.
