'The Peanut Butter Solution' is a pretty creepy movie especially for kids. A boy goes into a dilapidated house and sees something so scary that he loses all his hair. A "witch" gives him a recipe to make a special solution to grow his hair back (peanut butter being the main ingredient because it sticks to his head). The boy uses too much and his hair grows way too fast...like a few feet every hour or so. Meanwhile, a deranged artist is kidnapping children, including the main protagonist, to make magic paintbrushes...yes, MAGIC paintbrushes using human hair.
The "Tales for All" (Contes Pour Tous) movie serie got some very weird stories... The french ones were more down to earth, but the english ones were delirious...
What the fuck.
Wait was this based off a book or something? I remember reading this story as a kid!
@@AlbinoAxolotl Most "Tales for All" had a book made from their movie afterward. This is probably why you read it.
Thank You! (or Damn You!) I knew I had seen this movie when I saw that poster. Your description dredged up a long repressed memory that I must now learn to reconcile with my world view that had long banished this movie to the dark recesses of my subconscious.
The sudden escalation from jiggling the lock to obliterating a whole chair against the door in a blink of an eye will never not be the funniest damn thing I've seen in cinema.
I read "ejaculation' lmao
I didn't get that dramatic when I locked myself out one night and had to burglarize my own home!
For me the funniest damn thing I've ever seen in cinema was the Grim Reaper exploding upon hitting the ground after that 10 ft. drop.
Opening the locked door to discover a corpse holding a Ouija board fall out. Then talk about the Ouija board calmly without a thought for the dead person. Brilliant!
17:33 "We are stuck in this house with a bunch of zombies surrounding outside, demons inside, but what is intriguing is a suicide note."
“Women went crazy for exposed lower back hair” They still do, it’s a fact! They also go wild for throbbing forehead veins.
I better get on the trt and do eye brow raises with 45s pierced to them
Neck beards drive them wild also.
Basically any sign that you're an overly aggressive *sshole or douchebag gets their attention and we wonder why this country has so many....
Also receding hairlines
Any vein goes as long as it's throbbing, I was with a female friend lifting weights and a vein popped up in my arm and she said "wow your veins are making me aroused", ruined the set though as I started laughing so so much
The guy with the voice filter sounds like he's talking into a toilet bowl
Surprise, he was.
Same one they recorded the mud people's sound effects...
Exactly what i thought
it's a "flanger" effect. it's funny you think it sounds like a toilet bowl because the flange is so important in a toilet.
Senator Palpatine
my guess is it was a Pringles can.
Macaulay Culkin died in my girl and the good son… damn. Unless he was home alone, odds weren’t good that he was getting through a movie alive
I seriously thought those " teenagers" in the cars were parents at first
I thought they were a bunch of Young Republicans seeking to show Duke the values of thrift and personal responsibility when things went horribly wrong.
😂😂 When the baby-sitter is the prom date, the principal
@@greggrobinson5116 That would be good advice.
Give them enough time, the will be real soon...that or dead!!!🙏👍👻
They were parents!!!🤣
I like how when the monsters are emerging it sounds like they’re also farting.
A bowel movement knows no pulse.
@@kaykutcher2103 HAHAHA!!!
The sound on this movie was done on a Sega Genesis 🐢
They weren’t farting?
Fanny farts🤫
Dude goes from “I wonder what’s In here” to smashing a chair against the door in seconds.
I would love for him to be obsessed with what's in there, smashing the door open, and it's just an empty coat closet.
Was the door cardboard? I think diving headfirst into an older wood frame door would break your neck.
Am I the only one who lost it when Marc casually suggested the warlock walk his cat instead of attempting to resurrect his wife lol?
20:42 I like how "The Grim Reaper" just has a plastic ribcage over top a regular shirt.
eat your heart out Tom Savini.
The muck monsters at 16:37. Holy shit
“Whatever, who cares, screw this movie” lol! You should say that after every bad movie
The guy in the grave sounds like he's trying to do his best Vincent Price impersonation.
It's not very good, though.
In the Dr. Phibes movies Price actually sounds exactly like this his character is mute and can only speak via a megaphone thingy it's so wonderfully bizarre.
ONE good thing i must say about this film are the practical effects! The zombies and creatures look amazing! For a low quality film, the practical effects look glorious!
This video should be called : Mark spoiling movies where children died.
Nothing like spoiling 20 year old movies.
Edit: More like 25.
@@BinkyStalls I know. It’s rough I totally had the intention of watching those exact movies
Funny enough I had no intent of going back to watch any of them I hadn't seen because I never liked the ones I did see
I instantly thought of RoboCop 2.
(30 years old)
Snape kills Dumbledore!!
I can relate to the running away concept as a lad. I threatened my parents about it once, and my mum showed concerned but my dad was like, "If you're really planning on leaving then I best help you on your journey. I'll help you pack, let's get your fancy clothes, and I'm going to give you 100 pounds so that you won't go hungry. Just remember once you run out of money...you're on your own!"
I remember having everything he said in my bag as he and my mum gave me a hug and kiss saying that they're going to miss me while I was standing there outside of our flat. It was then when I realized I didn't want to runaway anymore...😂
Boy, your parents are stone cold badasses
My cousin told her mom she was going to run away when she was little so my Aunt was like, "Ok, but I'm the one who bought all your clothes and stuff so you can't take them" My cousin ended up outside with just an apple for supplies, walked down the street, turned around and came running back!
They definitely deserve the Parent of The Year award.
@@vivh18 It's amazing how quickly you can change your mind when things are put into better perspective... Thanks for sharing. I guess I had it better than she did! Least I got some money...she got an apple 🍎. 😳
@@edwardx4979 In the end the both of them were crying and hugging so I guess all's well that ends well😁
Two videos in one week Mark? I’m so happy we’re getting content more often. These weird movies and your commentary have been keeping me sane.
Agreed. Of all the "bad movie" channels out there (some are good), Mark's sense of humor mirrors my own. It's like hanging out with a friend!
I once "ran away" to my best friend's house across the street.🤣🤣🤣
Hello Insomnia, my old friend
You have given me a gift again.
@The time machine ua-cam.com/video/jEmG1qZ8GIk/v-deo.html what movie link called
What I find really amazing is that the creators of these movies had no idea that youtube would breath new life into these types of films. What a world, they oughta sell tickets.
It does actually look really good on blu ray.
In the 80s, the future hadn’t been invented yet.
@@ElSandwich777 🤣
I’d buy one
"You couldn't really put in a pool. Well. You COULD......"
Wasn't that basically the plot of Poltergeist?
@@TheDeldiz you beat me to it😡
how did you post this 3 days ago? The video came out today.
Time traveler exposed!
@@BlackWing117 patreon members get early access, so maybe that's it?
@@davidmayberry3190 damn, for a second i believed in a magical world...
I lost it at the grim reaper exploding 🤣
The farting muck monsters are going to haunt my dreams
The Peanut Butter Solution!!! Omg no one ever talks about that movie. For *years* I couldn't remember what it was called and no one I asked knew what I was talking about. I started to think I made it up after awhile lol.
It’s on Amazon Prime if you’re interested in seeing it again
How Did This Get Made did a review of it a few months ago. Definitely worth listening to.
I have it on a blank VHS 📼 tape and watched it often. It was labeled as “the boy with the long hair “. 😐
@@heroeshorrorscats1888 also on Tubi, I just checked
"An abandoned house isn't a party", Mark has obviously never hung out with crust punks or junkies.
This kind of reminds me in a roundabout way of that doctor down in Key West Florida back in the 1920s that broke into this mausoleum to get the body of this woman that he was in love it,she had been one of his patients . But she didn't know he was in love with her and she died of tuberculosis and he basically kept her corpse in his bedroom for years.
karl tanzler?
Didn't he turn her into a fucked up doll?
@@MegaDcmp 🤣
So the bride had children with the creep she later stabs in the forehead? I’m not convinced these were two consenting adults.
He was also banging the corpse.
Maximum overdrive the steamroller kills a bunch of kids at the baseball game/practice
A kid gets shot in Mac and me
Isn't that rated PG?
One of the boys in the '88 Blob remake was nabbed and melted in the sewers trying to escape
@@furrybogard9724 I was just about to mention "The Blob"! As a matter of fact, when Mark mentioned kids getting killed in '80s films, that was the first movie that came to mind!
@@SuperPeterok Lol Maximum Overdrive was definitely not PG.
Don’t forget the ice cream truck scene in Assault on Prescient 13. That little girl just wanted a vanilla twist.
That was 1977 though.
Someone saw Michael Jackson turn into a Werecat in Thriller and was like, "we need to start investing in werecats, they're gonna be big!"
5:45 oddly enough, I’m reasonably sure that the little brother actually died in Radio Flyer.
I know it doesn’t say that... but if you read between the lines, it’s definitely there.
For one, this is a story being told from a father to his sons about an uncle they’ve never met for some reason.
And a big theme of the story is about the magic of being a child, when you thought anything was possible... like building an airplane to escape an abusive step-dad.
And I could easily see a parent who understands the value and importance of letting children be kids not wanting to tell his kids the REAL story about what happened to their uncle. It’s easy to imagine him wanting to preserve his own children’s innocence for as long as humanly possible.
Furthermore at the end the mom is just cool with her 7 year old son literally flying around the world with no one but a turtle to keep him company. Also there’s the fact that he never showed up again, even long after reaching adulthood.
Watch the movie again with that perspective and I guarantee you’ll see it. And just like me, you’ll wonder how you missed it... then realized that’s kind of the point. A child isn’t going to catch on to something so bleak... but as an adult you are able to understand the subtext.
Sorry for the rant... but I just saw that movie the other day and I was able to realize what actually happened.
That's a very plausible ending and it makes perfect sense...however, the child in me---as well as the happy ending loving part of me---would like to continue to believe he flew away on the wagon and lived his best life. Honestly though, I've heard that theory before. Like I said, it's definitely plausible.
Seriously hated that movie. Not because it's a bad movie, but there's just nothing at all enjoyable about watching it.
This is what I understood about that movie as well.
No the brother escaped the dad in the end.
Love that "Nonsense Ending" shirt.
Must be inspired by Mass Effect 3
"...straightening those tombstones on the frontyard..." LOL. Actually, when he mentioned that, I thought what a nightmare it must be for people with OCD everytime those show up in the movie!
What is OCD?
@@conalcochranh3274 obsessive compulsive disorder
This sounds Like a Dario Argento movie, except it's missing the amazing cinematography and soundtrack to distract you from the little to no plot
So it's like one of the late Argento's movies
Yes, it reminds me of the following poem...
Three times you tapped your cane against the door
and heard only the absence of response.
Was the moon full that night?
I recall, with some clarity, the hoot of a perched owl
and the scuttle of potential prey
as your hand developed a temporary allergy
to the wolf's silver head and...
and then I remember being alone,
no longer with myself,
a hungry wanderer in a landscape of smoking chimneys
and whispering shadows, woodlands and jagged hills...
white shirt, black trousers; waistcoat the colour of night but...no shoes?
Furred fingers reached for furred toes,
then clawed digits touched fangs and, instead of a nose,
they felt a short muzzle,
clad in black velvet and utterly powerful...
yes, I remember now; the moon WAS full that night,
the night it mocked and discarded my evolution,
heightened my senses and reduced civility to abomination.
Gunfire and barking dogs...
all in the wake of screams and a scarlet spray
that tastes sweeter than any wine...
on the flesh of two virgins I'd dine...
but not before an animal lust was quenched.
There's a headline under my nose this morning
and it's held between two normal hands...
it reads: SEE YOU NEXT WEDNESDAY.
A Carnivorous Cliche by Conal Cochran.
But it has Duke.
Yeah almost strange that it's not Italian
The entire time I watched this film I kept asking, why does the main villain sound like he recorded his dialogue from the other room while talking into a tin can.
or the toilet
@@John-el1ki with all the water drained out. Like they did in that Netflix series Locked up.
21:26 "wow it all comes full circle"
A full circle drawn by a three year old
Hahaha
“The best way to get out of the room is with the age old trick of breaking through the door headfirst”
It worked though
That birthday setup looks like it was made by Dwight Schrute
Hahaha I was thinking of that when I was watching it, the tiny brown and silver balloons lol
@@FanboyFlicks you should check out Deadly Lessons from 2006; somebody uploaded the whole thing to UA-cam. YMS did a 6 minutes video on it, but it would be right up your alley for a WMWM episode.
@@FanboyFlicks This video reminds me of the following poem...
This absence is not complete;
your attention is proof of that.
Even in the midst of absence,
it's state is never absolute;
these words act as evidence.
The wordsmith seeks, endlessly, for the calm and subtle
between two exclamation marks
and sometimes the thunder that only the imagination can brew.
Yes, respite is merely an illusion,
a sweet and fanciful notion
that never materialises beyond the art
that is everything that has ever been;
art born of absence and nothing more.
This art is the product of absence.
Like the womb that bore it; it is not complete.
Waltzing Around Neptune by Conal Cochran.
Apparently this movie was reshoot and cobbled together due to creative and legal issues that happened in production. It also has 3 directors and 4 writers.
0:47
Sounds like he's talking through a pringle's can
Haha! LOL! Good call!
I like how The Warlock has suits and ties from JC Penny or something. Like does he send Catman to go clothes shopping?
Only when shits on sale
Oh man I'm glad you're still doing these videos. These are movies you don't see covered anywhere else, and we'll, Mark's sense of humor really just gets me lol
Ah yes, the 80s. When killing kids was definitely in fashion. For me I think the most iconic one was in 'Maximum Overdrive' when that kid got run over by a steamroller. That actually was a pretty decent movie.
For me was The Blob remake when the little boy falls in the sewer and gets scrambled and melted up. Freaked me out back then
I’m so glad Mark covered Spookies cause there’s SO MUCH TO COVER
My sides left the Earth's gravitation when I heard the farting.
To be fair, some of these effects seem pretty good.
Yeah the creature designs, music and cinematography is all really memorable and well done.
It sort of works as a house of horrors story with a different monster behind every door, the occultist resurrecting his dead bride gives it some structure and the idea she wants to die and actually hates him subverts expectations a bit.
Saved it to watch on the new year's eve.
You won't be able to wait until then lol
@@caiovalente505 You clearly don't know *_The Efe_*
I was JUST about to watch it till i read your comment. Herd mentality from there. Good idea dude.
Where can I find it??
Bu kanali takip eden tek efe ben saniyodum yaw
I just thinks it’s crazy how there’s about 124 of us up at 2:20 in the morning able to watch this video
It’s only 11pm where I am
It's 8 am though? I wonder how this can be possible...
I'm a night shift worker so I'm on my lunch break
This video has the single greatest, longest tangent ever about murdering children - and it's epic hahaha
Idk why the line "One hell of a vest" had me in tears!
I am so confident that the Dead Will Not Rise that i bought this house in the middle of the graveyard
This whole movie reminds me of one of my dreams if I eat a lot of spicy food before bed. Absolutely nothing about it makes any sense.
The transition to the guy hitting the door with the chair was so quick and random lol
As a nurse I can tell you that the dead do more than fart, Zombie movie's wouldn't be the same again for you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rosebudbaxter4671 it's not always funny some people I miss and the last thing I heard was a burp or follow though fart, I always say pardon me when it happens save some dignity for them.
Sorry to laugh, it was the context and the way you worded it. I'm sure it's really hard. Thank you for the work you do! We need you. :)
@@rosebudbaxter4671 well sometimes it's good to laugh life is too short sometimes and thank you.
I just love when the movie is so weird, Mark doesn't even have a reaction to it, or goes mostly for the sarcasm. Just peak Bad Movies/WMWM right here.
"Going upstairs has always proved to be a great way to get to ground level." -Mark....that's a bar
"Listen kids. You with your law degree and you with your 20 years in real estate. He just gets like this sometimes ya know..."
That's what every boy wants on their birthday. A severed head that wishes you a Happy Birthday.
In 1988 I broke my leg in 8 places. I was bedridden for about a month. When I was finally about to leave my house my Dad took me to the mall. I was so happy to be outside I wanted to see a movie. The mall movie theater was showing "Spookies" so we got tickets and went in. Even on the heavy pain killers I was taking at the time I thought this movie sucked. That says a lot about this movie
My brother tried to run away every week, got to the end of the driveway.... mind you I lived on a farm it’s a long driveway, but that’s as far as he would get
How did Jersey Shore guy & others die?
The Warlock son looks like the, "I like turtles" kid a little.
"The saddest balloons I've ever seen."
What balloons?
Mark - just know that I have a giant graveyard, in my backyard. I absoluely LOVE it . . .
What is so odd about a party out in the middle of nowhere? You just gave yourself away as a city boy.
I was constantly distracted by the two monsters hiding in the turquoise sweater!
The history of this movie is a troubled one, they had a slow beginning, they went over budget (if you can believe that) and over schedule, a new director and editor was brought in and changes made, so much so that much of what they originally shot was forever altered or lost on the cutting room floor and for whatever reason the title was changed from Twisted Souls to Spookies. Most likely to compete with Ghoulies and other infamous b-grade horror movies at the time. I'll give them this, the writers did come up with interesting ways to bump off the cast and the monsters are fairly original, when was the last time there was a spider demon in a movie or vicious lizard creatures trying to rip someone apart? The strangler beast has never been done before or since, rather Lovecraftian too. Great soundtrack as well to this cinematic mess!
The "behind the scenes" story is far more entertaining than the actual film.
"The backer had a thing about bowel movements. He used to walk up to
people and say, “Pull my finger,” and he would fart. At one time he
wanted to call the movie Bowel Erupters."
thedissolve.com/features/oral-history/788-the-strange-saga-of-spookies/
I knew something was off, I thought I had seen this schlock, but now that you mentioned it - it was Ghoulies instead!
Duke is my favorite character. 0 -100 real quick. Just mood swings and volatile
Was the pool thing a reference to Poltergeist? Fantastic!
"Causing Carol to open her head up" ,,,,, LMAO !!!
Hey,, sometimes every now and then a person just feels like opening their head up !
This was really funny, thanks. Really enjoyed your commentary more entertaining than the movie itself.
This is one of my top five reviews. Dare I say a perfect episode of one could ever be.
“Surprise it’s stairs!” 🤣 Damn that made me chuckle
Saaaaame
its funny how I never get bored by the background music, it somehow lift my spirit watching poor guy reviewing crap movies... love this show, more please!!!
I haven’t seen one of your videos in a while, but damn these are hilarious! Keep covering weird old movies!
For many years this film haunted me, I saw the last 10 minutes as a kid, It scared the hell out of me and for many years I couldn't figure out what the movie was called or where it came from, mystery solved
No one can escape the “Man-Cat”.
I died when u said the cat man had "one hell of a Vest". LMAO
I guess the Grim Reaper drunk a gallon of nitroglycerin before he came to that fight.
Who knew the Grim Reaper is so explosive?
One of your best ones yet! Almost every line made me go, "oh, how I wish I had that on a T-shirt".
'Can we go and watch Evil Dead?'
'No we have Evil Dead at home!'
Evil Dead at home :
One of the things I love about this channel is the amount of great interaction advice and social tips that the channel owner gives away free with each film he covers. This must be the number one valued Internet channel for autistic and socially awkward teenagers for figuring out how to understand social interaction.
You know you are CANADIAN when The peanut butter solution movie is mentioned!!!! 🤣😉🧡
i like that you do your reveiws by actually showing clips of the movie with your commentary so we can see what youre talking about and get a feel for a movie. nice job man. subscribed.
One of the weirdest movies I remember watching a bit as a kid with my sister. Was Santa's Slay. Something about Santa actually being Satan's son that has been tied to a contract since he lost to god for 1000-years to be Santa. All I remember is a quote that I and my sister thought was the funniest shit. " Move bitch!"
Spookies works, but only because of its many shortcomings. It’s like watching live feed straight from a fever induced nightmare. There’s the horrific imagery. There’s the sense of menace. But, it’s all jumbled, out of context and hard to make sense of. Still a fun watch, but confusing as it gets.
*Grim Reaper seems a bit rusty, haven't killed anyone in a while I guess*
That movie title looks familiar 🤔🤦🏻♂️ I was obsessed with 'the Goonies' when I was a kid. I had the official fanzine with the Map as the centerfold! And a couple of pages at the end dedicated to Cyndi Lauper. It was EVERYTHING to 7 year old me. Obsessed!
Well if you put in a pool, you run the risk of poltergeisterizing it
old guy: Do you even know where you are going?
Duke: Yeah, I'm going nuts listening to you!
I gotta remember that one. That was clever. 🤣🤣🤣
The actor that plays billy is the Same actor that plays that little Jawa
Grim reaper exploding is just a great scene
Anybody else here wish this pandemic would never end? Cause Mark keeps pumping out more and more videos.
Dude, LOVE the profile pic!
I've been watching Mark's videos for almost 10 years and I have to say that the character of Duke is one of the most entertaining ones I've seen covered in this channel. I was laughing the every time he was on screen
It's great to watch redlettermedia review a movie, then watch Mark give more context.
Assault on Precinct 13 has one of the best random child murders!
13:20 And we don't even get to see the bookcase actually hitting the floor, also the items on the shelves look stuck on lol. My guess is that the crew got lazy and didn't want to clean up
The muk monsters part. Dude I'm seriously dying right now. I havent laughed that hard in a while.
that’s what happens when all the arguing is over, a bunch of farting shit monsters
Another movie where Macaulay Culkin dies: The Good Son 😁
The Peanut Butter Solution was a fever dream of my childhood. Completely nuts, and the plot is basically a weirdo kidnapping kids to use as child labor. And using their hair to make paint brushes or stone shit.
When in doubt, just kill a kid" - Mark, 2020 :D
Oh man, now I gotta see this one! I’m getting Neon Maniacs flashbacks. Gotta love production issues, in fighting, and off the wall plot lines. They make for great entertainment.
