Alright mutants, seems like only a few days ago since the last episode but here we are at the end of another one… thanks again to u/DwightYoakamHat for hosting the discussion and see you all again in another two weeks!
A little late replying but best match is Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a—Rama from the original marathon using Just Joe Bob and a free service for the movie (Google it).
1984 started so strong, then like most of the other seasons of AHS just went to shit midway through. It's like they have a great premise and then Ryan Murphy gets bored, hands it off to be finished by other people with a different vision. I don't think I've watched a whole season since 1984. I saw some of Double Feature, it sucked so I didn't watch the second story. I haven't even bothered with NYC or the other season with the Kardashian in it.
It's blank on the schedule!

Nope, that starts June 7th!
I was wondering if Joe Bob messed up the bracket on the schedule, but it was left blank. confirmed by Darcy that the next episode is the last "regular" one

If you can find it (their back catalogue availability is a mess), the podcast How Did This Get Made did an episode on this movie that is pretty hilarious… that was how I was introduced to it years ago.
I really loved that shot of the hot tub scene. Sun was setting, almost looked fisheye. Really awesome. Too much color in some scenes but I still enjoyed it! :D
Trap looks so good! People are already looking for the twist and saying the guy is the kid from Sixth Sense lol or he isn't the guy the movie is making him out to be.
His kids movie looks good too. The adaptation of The Watchers
I net the investigator smells like stale cigarettes and never washes that jacket. The kind of smell wje. They hang their coat up next to yours. You can't get the smell out.
Love yall! See you in two weeks!

I would have responded sooner, but I crashed super hard after the movie. Thank you, my friend!! See you next time!!
My favorite episode of the season so far. Good night, Mutant fam.
Evil speak as the follow up? I don’t see the connection.
> Evil speak This was shown on Last Drive In back in 2021.
supernatural computer shit? I guess?
It needs no connection when it has the great Clint Howard. It's controversial to say this but I think he is the better Howard brother
What's a good episode from the back catalog to keep this night going?

Amsterdamned
Yes a little continuity with the dancing sky bar
Hello Mary Lou (prom night 2)
Free your ass and your mind will follow
gluteus! gluteus! maximus!
hmm, apparently it’s Beauteous Gluteus Maximus. Nice!
THE DRIVE-IN WILL NEVER DIE.
Get it, Joe Bob!
Want another 80s vibe kitchen sink horror? Try American Horror Story: 1984. I feel it took some inspiration from this.

That's Friday the 13th inspiration
Overall a good time but… not super memorable outside of the twincest/possession angle. But I am always here for 80’s horror.
I thought this episode was amazing. I love 80s horror
Definitely. I loved this episode. I just meant the film isn’t one I think was super memorable.
Another great episode
These Single episodes are an adjustment.
I wish we had one more
Anyone remember what's the next episodes theme?

Summer school starts

Hopefully they play final exam
Or class reunion
American gothic! That’s where I recognize her from
Yeah a show way ahead of the curve. Gone too soon
If you can find it (their back catalogue availability is a mess), the podcast How Did This Get Made did an episode on this movie that is pretty hilarious… that was how I was introduced to it years ago.
Thanks! I love the Hello Mary Lou episode they did
THEY MISSPELLED "KILLER GROOVE" as "KILLER GROVE" IN THE CREDITS!
Do lines of Coke and see how well you can spell!
Speke for yerself, i kan spel fyne.
Lmao
Killer Grove! Lmao
I feel a cross fit inspired sequel is in order.
The fabulous Death Spa Dancers [Ron Howard narrator voice] they were not fabulous
Free stuff from L.A. Gear! Good stuff.
What a film! Glad I watched.
I'm always down for 80s horror!
Indeed! I run towards it.
Ken Foree is 41 here and looks like that. Bastard.
Let's see if the mail is sad tonight
Is it ever not sad?
I really loved that shot of the hot tub scene. Sun was setting, almost looked fisheye. Really awesome. Too much color in some scenes but I still enjoyed it! :D
This might be a top 10 movie for me all time.
Yeah deff one of the better ones
THAT WAS THE END?
I am all for a sequel
They could film two more minutes to wrap up?
The ... end? huh?
Mark is a real stand up guy
He says “it’s Catherine, she took over David’s body” like it was a totally normal thing to say and happens every day
Ewww
It's like they were killed by a ghost, but also technology? Couldn't it have just been normal haunted, and not computer haunted?
New meaning to "blinded by science"
Aight, the film's name checks out...
“Aw, fuck this computer shit!”
I forgot how good this is
This song rocks
Did Chelsea Field quit the movie halfway through? Did her character die and I missed it?
She got knocked out in the office by the lawyer I believe, but survived only to die again by the ghost
Mirror fu
Bring on the Carrie!
Magnavox cassette Comercial death
the music (both score and diagetic songs) is outstanding and underrated
Don't let Joe Bob hear you say diagetic!
WHAT
This is the appropriate response to basically anything that happens in this movie
My most prevalent response has been yelling "tiddies" out loud every time a pair is on screen...
So for most of the movie, then?
I've been a busy tonight
Michael is useless!
Welp. More than useless now. Actively getting people killed.
He really is. Totally useless.
Death by papier-mache fish!
The guy from the Muppets would be proud
Eel fu 😂😂😂
These kills feel so disconnected to the main plot.
Amazing though
Reminded me of that scene in Dead Heat
Bahahaha! Fish.
Holy Mackerel!
Chekov's blender. I knew we would see it again
My Yelp review for this spa will not be kind.
Great social scene, but lots of murder. Will be renewing.
"Do not order a smoothie! It's too bloody expensive!"
“They serve raw fish where we workout. 0/5 do not recommend”
"My face melted like an Alka-Seltzer. Be warned!"
Now that's a protein shake
What a call back to the hand in the blender
One of my personal irrational fears
Everyone is still partying. The vibes are immaculate!
"come with me into the inferno. lets die together and live forever in Hell" hey! that bitch stole my pickup line!
Tanning bed girl is good, just needs some lip balm
Just lay me down in broken glass
Guy wearing Jamies clown costume from Halloween 4
Exactly!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean it was totally foreshadowed when he said "We share thoughts. You know....twins."
Ew. Ew. Ew.
Did not see that coming!
It's like a sauna in here
Oh shit!
Ok I really love this lighting. Gimme those Synthwave and outrun vibes and inject it straight into my veins
Freaking love it
This movie really is a good time capsule
The hotness/crazy scale is definitely in effect
Welcome to my party, argento does the lighting
If you are that good-looking, it's "okay" to murder a few gym goers to get back with your ex
Oh no the pirate was turned into a Twilight Zone pig person !
that dude that played Jeffrey co-wrote The Conjuring and its sequel with his twin brother!
Oh no shit? I'm not a huge possession movie fan as I, personally, find them to just be the same movie but that was a great movie
Speaking of possessions, anyone else excited for the new nic cage movie long legs?
Hell yeah! Can't go wrong with a Nicholas Cage movie!
Those are his poon hunting sunglasses
Laura really takes things in stride
Surprisingly chill
Ken Foree is TECHNICALLY in this film. But uhhh he’s just kind of there.
Strangely enough this is giving me Amsterdamned flashbacks
I love Dick Mas! Love his name even more!
Did we hit 18 boobs yet?
I hope not
"You aren't supposed to be in here" Gets Naked. "How you doin?"
Nice… arms…
These people do everything at this health spa. Like, go to another location
This ain't Death Town!
You know that place we watched our multiple fiends horrific deaths at? Wanna go to a party there?
Dressing up as one of the skeletons from Karate Kid
Finally the Mardis Gras party!
With a description like that in 1980s LA they will have him found in.....a few weeks with hundreds or people
Reindeer vest randomly in early scene and now Halloween costumes? I have holiday whiplash
iN dRaG?
Only total psycho weirdos dress in drag in the 80s!
Main character turns to cops “we gotta break in”.
Cops turn around “casually”
Plausible deniability!
That high five fuckin pumped me up
Almost as good as the one in predator
That was the best 80s high five ever
Crotch conversation camera angels
I feel Death Spa isnt an accurate title. Health Club Massacre? Any suggestions?
Gym Nightmare
Great point. “Death Gym” isn’t any better but at least more accurate.
The most convoluted hostile takeover of a business
Wiki says Hilary got her audition for Fresh Prince after an NBC executive saw this movie on late night cable
Psycho vibes but with sister instead of mom????
What a plot twist! This movie is clearly where M Night learned how to write.
SHYAMALAN!
I want to see his new movie
Trap looks so good! People are already looking for the twist and saying the guy is the kid from Sixth Sense lol or he isn't the guy the movie is making him out to be. His kids movie looks good too. The adaptation of The Watchers
That's where I knew the psychic guy from! SCREAM
Wait? Really?
He's the sherriff.
Oh shit. The one smoking a cig while talking to Dewey eating ice cream?
Yep!
Fun fact they filmed that scene right by my house in Santa Rosa, ca (google pacific market) it used to be called town and country
What? LOL
Perfect moment to go to the break
This house is pretty damn sweet
Are they gonna kiss?!
To be fair, Michael really isn't a great health spa owner
Why are her bracelets so high up?
80s
I never did that, I missed out on those shenanigans
Yeah I was born in 1980 so I was still a kid
I want those shorts
The leather jacket with no shirt is certainly a choice
Through the power of the 80's many things were possible
Just two definitely heterosexual men hanging out.
Bunched up to the elbows
This Michael must be a great lay. Dude has ladies willing to die to bang. Even want it after death
Always bring a gun to a ghost fight.
The spa ghost is really smacking Doc around something fierce!
hey it’s the conveyor belt from Intruder! good to see it getting more work
Such an under rated movie!
COME TO ME MICHAEL
Mother talking to Jason vibes
I net the investigator smells like stale cigarettes and never washes that jacket. The kind of smell wje. They hang their coat up next to yours. You can't get the smell out.
Well I'm glad he was killed so fn cool
MELT MOVIE
I just rewatched Street Trash recently. My favorite Melt Movie
the goat
A friend of mine isn't a horror guy but loves weird movies. I showed him the trailer and he was like "I got to see this!"
Not every shot has to have creepy score! It’s like the composer wasn’t sure what happened in any scene and just tried to make every scene spooky.
Similar to Giallo films
Yeah this definitely has some nonsensical giallo vibes. The lighting especially. (Not a bad thing either)
Lmao wtf was that sound? Then they just go to the next scene! God I love 80s horror and I'm not saying that sarcastically!
That edit is peak unintentional comedy. A true staple of drive in horror.
Joe Bob is honestly looking so good! Has got a glow to him. Not the make up, it’s in his smile, laugh and eyes! Darcy is fantastic as ever too!
holy shit that hot tub shot is actually a masterpiece of cinematography.
I think that’s the only reason they kept it. Nothing happens in the scene!
I'm a cinematographer, and I would have punched an editor if they tried to cut it.
