If you've ever seen the movie Hardware from 1990, a lot of people think it's a Terminator ripoff, but it's not.

Gary HamesHOST
But yeah, it's basically, it's called Box Cutter.
Gary HamesHOST
So Box Cutter in the UK is a Stanley knife, essentially.
Gary HamesHOST
So it's about as grim as you might think.
Gary HamesHOST
with the title Boxcutter.
Ken TalbotHOST
When I was a kid, I was...
Gary HamesHOST
Did you stab someone with a boxcutter?
Ken TalbotHOST
no i went behind the couch at home and with it being uh like a 90s working class couch there was all sorts of behind there picture frames rubbish papers and i was reaching behind i think about i dropped something i might drop my batman toy or something and i just brushed up against something that felt warm and when i brought my hand back there was a Stanley blade that was, the blade was still out and I'd brushed my finger and I'd basically sliced all of my finger.
Ken TalbotHOST
And I remember being terrified, not of the fact that I was bleeding, but for something that could do that to my finger so easily without me even feeling it.
Bruce Kielkowski Jr.HOST
Yeah.
Andy ForemanGUEST
Yeah, I mean, it's even sort of like in, and I adore this movie, but in Richard Stanley's Color Out of Space, when they show the daughter using the Necronomicon, it's literally the one that like I see being sold at my local record store, like as a novelty.
Bruce Kielkowski Jr.HOST
Yeah, the Simon one from the 70s.
Andy ForemanGUEST
Yeah, exactly.

Kevin ReitzelHOST
Uh, uh, directed or intended to be directed by Richard Stanley until he was fired and then John Frankenheimer took over.
Kevin ReitzelHOST

Kevin ReitzelHOST
Kyle, give us some trivia here because this is going to go into something I want to have a brief discussion about.
Kyle WagnerHOST
Yeah.
Kyle WagnerHOST
So some trivia.
Kyle WagnerHOST
According to rumor, after the studio fired original director Richard Stanley, he convinced the makeup crew to turn him into one of the background mutants so he could keep tabs on the making of his dream project.
Kyle WagnerHOST
He supposedly did not unmask himself until the wrap party.
Mike MuncerHOST
... horror.
Mike MuncerHOST
And it's funny, I think for better or worse, it kind of establishes the slight paradox with Lovecraft because that idea of stuff that you can't possibly look upon or comprehend, it's like, well, we've got to find a way to still put that on screen, right?
