As a fan of ancient sad and white “B” panic movies, I’ve always loved “House on Fearful Hill.” It’s attractive lame by today’s blood & gore standards, but I saw it as a kid and found it scarey. I have quite a few DVD’s of this movie, bought for a mere $1 during Halloween. That said, I’m also a fan of the good-ole MST3K nitwits, and this was my first Rifftrax rental. Don’t query the MST3K stuff like skits, shadows of the guys watching the movie, or even an introduction! The movie starts and the guys immediately riff in the background. You simply fair HEAR, but never sight them! When the movie ends, they price off. I plan the riffing was sterling, especially for the two lame-brained leads who (of course) always situation themselves in wretchedness. “Lance” is always impartial one step away from the next concussion. They barely touch Vincent Imprint, but he’s such a qualified actor and one of my favorites, so that’s okay with me. I’m jubilant to hear the guys, even if I can’t gape them. That’s probably why the Rifftrax DVD’s are more affordable.
This is a nice high-quality DVD of House on Shocked Hill. It was touch spartan; there’s no subtitles of either the movie or the riffing, there’s no MST3K-style video introduction (which would have been nice; would it have been hard to attach a five dinky pre-movie warmup, using whatever status came to hand), there’s no shadows on the mask (which I’ve seen done with honest subtitles, on the Ghostbusters DVD, IIRC), and there’s not even a coming/available advertisement. There’s objective the movie, and two soundtracks, one with and one without riffing.
As for the meat of the material, House on Alarmed Hill is a fairly classic veteran movie and moderately riffable. I’d position the riffs here about average for an MST3K and there was enough classic awe movie shtics and movie-specific jokes to effect it worth my while.
But it is a genuine classic awe movie, and well worth your time watching it unMST3Ked before ruining all the surprises in the comedic mode. If you’ve got the DVD and haven’t seen the movie, steal the time to explore the unique first.
