Those commercials are 100 times creepier than the movie.

I love the cut to 70's commercials.

You're a ball buster!

Was this one of the films I donated? I've forgotten. But it's easy to forget when you donate a BIG BOX of dvd's. Heh, finally got to use that pun...
Reply to this
Have watched this movie before, because I've got it in my collection of crappy b-movies.
And the baby laugh a-lot is the creepiest shit ever.
Reply to this
They should have just chucked the whole 'Satan's Charm School' deal and made the movie about the terrifying doll and the dementia it induces in even the announcer. Chilling.
Reply to this
This felt like old school Cinema Snob. Classic.
Reply to this
Pretty good review. Though, I think you should have inserted a Burger Chef commercial during one of the breaks.

I really loved this review man, it had lots of effort put into it and it was damn funny. Keep up the great work man, hope to see more snob vids from you soon. :^)
Reply to this
yeah this movie is a stinker. Me and My girlfriend watched it last winter cause the name sounded B movie enough. Made it like 30 minutes in and changed the channel. that right, it was aired on TV when we watched it. forgot the channel though.
Reply to this
No wonder this movie's in public domain because the print looked awful! I guess nobody bothered to wipe that red marker line off the actual print!
Reply to this
Wow! So much to love about this review from the use of the Vega$ and Suspiria themes to the totally scarier than the movie commercial for Baby-Laugh-Alot.
Reply to this
Hey, it's the return of the "Thank you very much!". Been waiting for it!
Reply to this
Anyone know the name of the song at 8:04, the one about which CS said "Well, that seemed rather appropriate?" I know I've heard it before...
Reply to this
It's the theme from "Suspiria" =)
Reply to this
Seen this years ago and it was a double feature halloween movie showing at a movie theater along side I was a teenage werewolf. Good times!
Reply to this
The entire movie is on Youtube ( amongst many other public domain and exploitation films)
.I watched it recently, It smacks of made-for-TV- it's dull, stilted and horribly dated; pretty much unwatchable.
But seeings as I've watched most movies on Youtube, and was scraping the barrel, I laboured through it.
Reply to this
Ha ha that laughing doll would even given Chucky sleepless nights.
By the way, weren't you gonna review a Todd Sheets movie at some point? Zombie Bloodbath is so bad you'd almost think it was made specifically for you to review it.
Reply to this
Anyone ever tell you you dress like Steven Seagal from "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory"?
Reply to this
It's kinda funny you say that, because when Brad isn't in front of the camera he dresses just like Seagal in "Fire Down Below". True story. . . so many terrible, technicolored abominations. . .
Reply to this
Death proof? 75 minutes?
You Americans were so lucky. Us Brits got the 2 hour babbling version!
Quality review as usual
Reply to this
That laughing doll is fucking horrible man, and the takes of the little girls spinning around quickly to look at it seemed like it should have been followed by their agonising death screams shortly after, not a laugh track.
Reply to this
that baby-laugh-alot will haunt my nightmares. the movie - not so much.
Reply to this
Yo, didn't you say at some point that you were trying to kick the smoking habit for your wife or something? Or did you folk work that out?
Reply to this
Well, she smokes as well, so I can't find a reason why he should stop smoking for her. Well, probably to prevent throat cancer. But it's not my bussiness. Loved the review, anyway
Reply to this
this is one the best reviews so far i love the commercials they are sooo much better then the movie
i remember watching this movie before i dont know where but ive seen it somwhere
anyway nice review brad
Reply to this
What is that alternate driving theme?
Reply to this
It's from the late-70s t.v. show Vega$,ironically an Aaron Spelling production.
Reply to this
Are there any movies from the 70s that Vincent Price isn't in that don't suck?
Reply to this
Erm, there actually is an elite boarding school called Salem in Germany.
http://www.salem-net.de/en/about-salem.html
And yes, I always thought that's damn weird. O_O"
But by far not as scary as that laughing doll.
Reply to this
Well, at least I know now where that track "Getting Ahead In The Lucrative Field Of Artist Management" comes from.
Reply to this
Excellent commercial breaks!
Reply to this
Now watch as the Cinema Snob gets cancer!!
Great review by the way.
Reply to this
I unfortunately have this cruddy movie on dvd. Very predictable and boring. You oughtta see the laughs alot doll that Mike Mozart has. That thing has an extremely twisted laugh! Also who needs a ball buster game when you can just watch this movie, it busts the balls of anyone with an IQ over 5.
Reply to this
Baby laugh a lot will haunt my nightmares. But a very funny review.
Reply to this
Brad- Good review. I remember Gidget Got Married. My memory of it was of a social satire on corporate America. And I always watched Brian's Song whenever it came on TV. It's one of the movies that could always make me feel like crying.
Reply to this
That Baby-Laugh-A-Lot was one of the scariest things i've ever seen. That could probably be a horror film on its own =S
Reply to this
Wow, classic cheesy made-for-tv crap. And what the hell is with those commercials? The Ball-Buster game seems like it ought to be a joke and I kept expecting the Baby Laugh-A-Lot to cut to a Chucky movie *shudders*
Reply to this
The scariest part of this movie was that commercial for Baby Laugh-a-Lot.
Reply to this
who else thought baby laughs-a-lot was the creepiest thing in this review?
Reply to this
Love your reviews. Just the other day I saw a movie EXACTLY like this; it may have been the one you mentioned, but I think there was another one afterwards.
Reply to this
Baby Laughs Alot didn't just give me the creeps... She raped my soul
Reply to this
Hilarious review. the Suspiria paralells where nice and those commercial breaks.. while Baby Laugh-A-Lot is an old favorite of mine, and the Ball Buster... damn, I laughed so hard over that one.
I like 70s made for TV flicks, but they are hard to get your hands on over here.
Reply to this
Wow that laughing baby-toy thing is just freaking terrifying.
Reply to this
the manos the hands of fate joke was the best
Reply to this
That Ball Buster commercial was real? It looked like a Kentucky Fried Movie commercial parody.
Reply to this
Yes, it's a real game from the toy company Mego, the people who made a killing in the `70s selling "Star Trek" action figures.
Reply to this
Damn, is it just me, or are the girls in this movie SERIOUSLY hot?
...like, all of them...
How much did you say this was on DVD?
Reply to this
wow just from the title of the film I expected some horrible horrible porn flick. turns out its a tv movie......the more you know
Reply to this
Strategies for beating Q-Bert? Fuck me, where's my notebook?!
Also thank you for introducing me to Baby-laughs-alot. I may never sleep again.
Reply to this
This movie would have been ten times better with a soundtrack by Goblin. You're on to something, Brad!
Reply to this
Jaclyn Smith instead of Pamela Franklin. Sold.
Reply to this
Uh, did Remco have the Joker as part of their creative team?
Reply to this
That goddamn baby laugh-a-lot is Satan. I swear. Great review, Brad. Going to go cower in the corner now, that doll will fuel my nightmares forever.
Reply to this
NOOOOOOOOOO! NOT BABY KILLS-A-LOT! *puts gun in mouth and pulls the trigger*
Reply to this
Hey, what's with the menthol hate? I'd rather have minty fresh cancer
Reply to this
So what was Satan doing running a girls school? Did he just get bored one day and do this on a lark? I guess when you're immortal you have to find ways to fill up the time.
Reply to this
So Diamond Head was Satan all along!?
Does that mean lovejoy was jesus? Cause I'd be ok with that.
The snob must have an ulcer the size of aaron spelling's house. I'd recommend a tropical vacation, but he'd probably just get angry that that the hotel isn't bergman themed.
Reply to this
The remake is even worse.
Reply to this
This is what I get for skipping this for my PD show. Someone comes along and reviews it much better than I ever had a chance of doing.
Awesome review. Hilarious all around...well except for the laughing baby toy. That's haunting me for a long, long...long time.
Reply to this
God, I just love those Goblin albums...
Reply to this
I was hoping that after exclaiming "He's clearly evil! He has a moustache!" You would've been struck by a sudden realization and felt that fuzz under your own nose.
Reply to this
Yeah, I was expecting that, too.
Reply to this
I guess he thought the beard canceled it out.Though really, it just makes him more evil.
Reply to this
Love your reviews, but once again, you've gotta watch your aspect ratios. 4:3 matted into 16:9 matted again into 4:3: we don't need all those giant black bars on all sides of the image. You really should encode your videos in 16:9. Matte things within the 16:9 frame to preserve their aspect ratio, of course, but don't then matte that 16:9 frame into a 4:3 frame.
Reply to this
Man, that is one creepy doll. I can't believe anyone thought that would be a great toy for little girls.
Reply to this
THAT FUCKING DOLL!!!
Reply to this
For pure schlock value this will never beat "Demon Dog: the Hound of Hell", which was also a TV movie.
Reply to this
Actually it's "Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell" (1978) but you get the idea.
Reply to this
That first commercial makes me want to listen U.N.K.L.E first album.
In fact, that commercial is the track 6(7 of the promotional slipsleeve/japanese/australian release) of their album Psyence Fiction, called "Getting Ahead In The Lucrative Field of Artist Management".
Reply to this
That baby laughs a lot thing scared me......
Reply to this
Seriously, that baby laughs a lot doll is the stuff fucking nightmares are made of...what sane child would wand to be in a room with that thing.
Can't sleep, doll will eat me...
Reply to this
Another great review.
Hey when are you gonna make a south american B-grade or Z-grade movie?.
Reply to this
Ball-buster and creepy evil laughing dolly, fun for the whole masochist family.
Man even the commercial in the 70's was on crap 24/7
Reply to this
ahh, whats that music at 4:23 from?
Reply to this
"Oh shit, he shot her!"
I nearly wet myself. Goddamn, my sides.

who's the actor playig professor re-hearing?
ive seenn him something im sure
i dont think he had the stache though
Reply to this
Loved the Ball Buster commerical! Gotta love the 70's!
Reply to this
Satan's school for girls. Complete with Satan's advertisements for shitting your pants.
Reply to this
an angel heart reference...really? Then again this movie was probably less predictable then that one

Hi!
There are a couple of proposals for cooperation in the field of alternative energy.
You are interested in solar panels?
Reply to this
I don't know if I'm the only one, but at the 3 minute mark, the video abruptly ends up in a Resolve commercial and I can't watch it, because it keeps on doing the same thing! Anyone else has that problem ?
Reply to this
My God, this must be what gave Rowling the idea of Harry Potter.
Some of these plot points seem eerily familiar...
Reply to this
3:31 I wished Brad had added a "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!" sound bite to that scene. XP
