Why I like Asylum's Monster Mash (a list)
I'm starting to feel that the Asylum mockbuster Monster Mash is my favorite movie of 2024 (So far) and might retain that status. This is odd since the movie is deliberate direct-to-streaming, low-budget Schlock from The Asylum film studio. I actually liked it more than Abigail.
So I have decided to analyze why I like this movie.
1. It doesn't try to be high art. It just tries to tell a fun, spooky, story. 2. The character portrayals are surprisingly likable, from making Dracula the lead protagonist, a monster Tony Stark, to the subtle indications that Dracula probably could have handled all of this himself but he's secretly lonely and liked the excuse of having the other monsters at his side. It's adorkable. I love hero-Dracula. 3. The many delicious nods to the classic Universal monster movies from naming the Frankenstein Monster Boris (which is also a possible nod to the Monster Mash Song that was referencing the Universal Monster movie actor Boris Karloff), Dracula's daughter being implied bisexual like she was in the 1936 Dracula's daughter movie, the one scene deliberately using the eye lighting effect from the original Bela Lugosi Dracula, and thanking the creators of the Universal Monster movies on the end credits. And there were other delightful tropes and plot points.
4. The sense that the story is set in some surreal fairy-tale like, timeless, otherworld from Dracula's mid-nineteenth century fashion, to Elizabeta's slave girls wearing modern-ish evening gowns, to the medieval peasant girl costumes in the tavern, to The Invisible Man wearing 1930s black goggles, and a 20th century turtleneck shirt. 5. You have a desert cave, a Louisiana style swamp house (Home of the werewolf, who has a Southern-American accent), snarky Invisible Man who talks like Larry from Doom Patrol, and mentions of Turkey and Highgate cemetery and Candlewood Village all sounding weirdly close to each other. It's a bit disorientating until you think of it like it's own other world like Castlevania, or a Hammer horror movie, or The Enchanted Forest from Once Upon a Time. 6. I think of it as an alternate Universe version of Earth, on a continent (Europe-like despite the many American accents) where all the classic Gothic stories are true and co-exist. 7. The lack of specific time period and implied different cultures being in relative close proximity to each other amuses me.
8. The slightly off-putting but comical pause near the end to warn us that the scary part is coming, right before the really fake looking monster fight.
9. The strange contrast of the Dracula actor apparently giving it his all while the Dr. Frankenstein actor is barely acting and apparently phoning it in. The Asylum doesn't deserve this Dracula. He's too good for them. 10. For an asylum mockbuster it has a surprisingly diverse cast of characters and actors. Dracula, his daughter, a witch, a zombie, a mummy (played by a man actually from North Africa), werewolf, and The Invisible Man. I kind of hope the sequel (if it gets a sequel) is set on the high seas to allow for pirate ghosts (another fun trope) and The Creature from the Black Lagoon equivalent character. 11. Because Asylum is known as schlock I sometimes think a lot of the continuity errors and minor mistakes are deliberate (i.e. the misspelling of Nightmare on the trailer) which can be annoying but I found the movie charming enough to over look the apparent "deliberate" badness. 12. I could easily come up with joking call lines for this thing even though it's no Rocky Horror. (For starters it's not a musical.) 13. There's a surprisingly catchy theme song from the woman who plays Dracula's daughter. 13. I strongly feel this is the direction they should have gone with the Universal Studios Dark Universe.

Murder, She Wrote: 10 Hidden Details You Never Noticed
The popular '80s series Murder, She Wrote centered around Jessica Fletcher, a murder mystery novelist, and her uncanny knack of stumbling across and helping to solve crimes, before writing about them. This show ran for 12 years, from 1984 to 1996 and was immensely popular.
RELATED: 10 80s Movies That Were Way Ahead Of Their Time
Who didn't feel just a little heartbroken when we had to say good-bye to Jessica Fletcher? Which fan can erase the Murder, She Wrote tune from their memory? Still, there are some things fans might have missed. Here are just 10 hidden details about the show you might have overlooked.
10 Hotel, on the map
Blair House Bed & Breakfast is the bed & breakfast you didn't know you had visited. It is a quaint establishment well-frequented in Mendocino, California.
Most people would say no, they hadn't visited there. Still, this Bed & Breakfast has been a part of many TV viewer's lives as the setting for 698 Candlewood Lane, home of Jessica Fletcher.
9 43 books under her belt
Jessica Fletcher is always writing. Even the show's intro shows her typing away, with a fury only a committed mystery and murder novelist, such as herself, would understand. Considering this, it should come as no surprise that over the show's entire run, Fletcher manages to write 43 mystery novels.
RELATED: 80s Movie Replicas You Can Actually Own
Her first book on the series was The Corpse Danced At Midnight. Sounds intriguing! Even more so considering the characters and events in Fletcher's books have been inspired by real-life drama.
8 The series behind the series
Something which might surprise viewers is that the series is based on the 1961 film called Murder, She Said. Admittedly, it feels strange to think of the series without "She wrote" in the title, as it seems like such a pivotal part of the show's narrative.
The image of Jessica Fletcher's hands typing avidly on that typewriter to write her stories is hard to erase from memory. Apparently, the actual character of Jessica Fletcher was modeled after the lead character in the '60s series, Miss Marple.
7 Saying 'good-bye' wasn't easy
The series finale seems to take a jab at the CBS' decision to cancel the show. Call it sentimental whims or sour grapes; however, it seemed clear from this final episode that the directors and team of Murder, She Wrote weren’t going to wish good-bye to audiences without having their final say.
The episode was set at a radio station in San Francisco, which was changing its program guide and line-up to accommodate younger audiences. Viewers might have missed this veiled inference to the decision of CBS to cancel Murder, She Wrote.
6 Cabot Cove meets Jaws Lake
Jaws Lake seems an unlikely setting for the sweet, homely town of Cabot Cove, Maine where Murder, She Wrote's narrative takes place. However, this was the setting for the fictional town where most of the action of the popular '80s TV series took place.

The lake is called such as it was used for the filming of Jaws and it is set at Universal Studios, where many of the great movies and series of TV and big screen acclaim were filmed. There might have not been an actual shark coming out of the waters, but Fletcher dealt with many metaphorical sharks during the series and she always put them to justice.
5 From space adventure to murder mystery
Commodore Matt Decker from Star Trek also featured in Murder, She Wrote. Actor William Windom from the space adventure series demonstrated his versatility as an actor, taking on the role of Dr. Seth Hazlitt in the murder mystery TV series.
Dr. Hazlitt was the town doctor of the quiet, yet deathly Cabot Cove, where mystery and murder abounded. Not an easy task being a doctor who has to piece together medical evidence for the nosy Fletcher but Windom pulled off the role with aplomb – taught by the best on the Star Trek team.
4 A place where murder prevails
With its small size and high murder rate, Cabot Cove could easily top the charts as the Murder Capital Of The World. If the Maine town was a real place, with its population of 3560 residents, and its high rate of 5,3 murders each year, it would have a 60 percent higher rate than a country like Honduras, which registered roughly 90 murders per 100 000 residents.
For this reason, Cabot Cove is the perfect town for an old dear like Jessica Fletcher to set up residence as a murder mystery writer.
3 World record holder
The little old dear Jessica Fletcher holds the World Record for Most Prolific Amateur Sleuth. Throughout the course of Murder, She Wrote's 12 seasons, Fletcher solved more cases than any other character.
RELATED: The Ultimate 80s Movie Gift Guide
This, in addition to four movies which she also starred in. Agatha Christie's Miss Marple comes close to matching Fletcher but has not outshone the crime-solving skills of the writer/detective who has an uncanny knack of stumbling across crime scenes.
2 Conspiracy theories abound
How does she do it? This relatively unassuming lady who seems to always stumble across murder after murder, before helping solve the cases and then writing the stories. What a wonder! There are, however, some fans who have developed a conspiracy theory about the dear Mrs. Fletcher, believing that she could, in fact, be a serial killer.
It's one of those conspiracy theories which has done its rounds and is relatively innocuous. Still, it could provide one plausible hypothesis that answers all the questions around Jessica Fletcher.
1 Friends & Murder, She Wrote
In an episode entitled 'Murder Among Friends', the clever directors of Murder, She Wrote took a stab at the sitcom Friends, which was the contending show at the time. The series featured a New York coffee shop, with six characters starring in a popular series, called Buds.
Fletcher got involved after someone tried to bump off one of the Buds cast members. It was all done in good spirits and viewers probably enjoyed the jab at Friends.

The film, which adjusts Rick Yancey's successful 2013 young-adult story, doesn't tap into any type of specific cumulative issue, or into any kind of concepts larger compared to a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other action-adventure.

This Article has an element height of 15. The sidebar dimension is tool. When the Obama management was designing DACA, privacy was a chief worry for migration advocates, who fretted about having undocumented immigrants identify themselves to the federal government. If you go for an actually negative analysis, you can say that Rudd is just stating she's not asking companies to stop utilizing e2e encryption; i.e. she's suggesting they voluntarily don't have to use e2e because actual people" typically aren't bothered regarding the personal privacy of their comms anyhow-- ergo, technology titans are free to ditch those annoying e2e crypto systems that so annoy governments without enduring any backlash from users (and-- most importantly from her PoV-- without the federal government being implicated of actually outlawing" file encryption). In regards to background story, Alma resembles Alessa Gillespie from Silent Hillside, a horror/survival title established by Konami Both have a parent never mentioned (Alma's mom as well as Alessa's dad) and endured terrific misuse at the hands of the other, and the two later use their psychic powers to take revenge on those who caused their suffering. Fortunately, the hands of fate appear to be working in MST3K's support-- at the very least based on the premiere episode, where our heroes suffer with Reptilicus, a 1961 Danish monster-movie whose titular raised-from-the-dead baddie appears like a yard pipe constructed of Play-Doh. The initial Luddites just weren't oblivious concerning the modern technology of the day, or a minimum of its ramifications (loss of work).
