My Bloody Valentine

I can't remember what movie we just did that was in 1982 because it's so hard to keep track of things because my brain just erases them so I can move on to the next thing.

But in 1981, you could have seen An American Werewolf in London, The Evil Dead, The Howling, Friday the 13th Part 2, My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, The Funhouse, The Prowler, Scanners, The Beyond, which is the second film in the Gates of Hell trilogy by Lucio Falci, Dead and Buried, Possession, The House by the Cemetery, which is the third movie in the Gates of Hell trilogy by Lucio Falci, Happy Birthday to Me, and The Omen 3.

I like Happy Birthday to Me.

We've seen all of those except Omen 3.

But 1981, I would argue, is when some of the best ones came out.

My Bloody Valentine came out.

I'm not sure that the Mutilator and the Prowler were round about then.

I think the Prowler was 81.

This Saturday, Halloween night, on a film by...

We'll be celebrating the 45th anniversary of My Bloody Valentine with one of its lovely stars, talking about Helene Udy.

If you've seen it, and I know you have, how would you summarize it in exactly five words? You can go to afilmbypodcast.com to give us your answer, or email us at afilmbypodcast.com, gmail.com.

If we use your five-word synopsis on the show, we will shout you out, send you some of that Afilmby swag.

See, they do.

It's also quite common over here for places to do out-of-season haunts, like Scream Factory have done My Bloody Valentine.

Yeah, that's awesome.

It's very, very risky.

But not

in the normal one.

That's in the My Bloody Valentine, but going back to the haunt thing.

Yeah, again, it's difficult to explain because it is very different from Horror Nights, but it's difficult to kind of explain why, other than the fact that Horror Nights has money and they don't.

This is John McDermott.

with his song The Ballad of Harry Warden from the Canadian horror film My Bloody Valentine.

And you can tell it's from the original because it's not like Fall Out Boy doing a reimagining.

Nope, it's a by God country folk artist straight off the moose.

The tagline, there's more than one way to lose your heart.

My Bloody Valentine.

Josh, my bloody Valentine.

Scott's rocking out to that pick.

Seems like there's not a veto coming.

I just feel like it's weird that they didn't try to do more of these.

I don't know the story.

All right, My Bloody Valentine, 1981.

Did you? Listen, asshole.

Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Amityville Horror, Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, My Bloody Valentine, A Stranger Calls, Pop Night, Black Christmas, House of Wax, The Fog, Piranha.

Is one of those right? Right? Right?

Hello.

Yes.

I also have to say I know this was around eighth grade-ish, and um, uh, I went to the Woodlawn Theatre, in a theater, and watched My Bloody Valentine.

Oh.

Do you remember that?
