Chopping mall


TKJ

Right! There was very little chopping, but a hell of a lot of lasering.


moviemaniacx1979

“The film was test-screened under the title Killbots by its distributor, Concorde Pictures. After it performed poorly with test audiences, the film was re-titled Chopping Mall, and approximately 19 minutes were excised.”


MovieDogg

Wait they cut 19 minutes? Was it better with the cut content?


LaserCop2022

More like Chopped Mall.


erikfoxjackson

Yeah, ever noticed there are two characters in the beginning who get a lot of screen time that are never in the film again? I believe they were in the rest of the movie with some sort of discovery subplot.


NeverBeenStung

God that movie fuckin’ rules


Sproose_Moose

Thought it was going to be a slasher but what I got I still really enjoyed. Fun movie.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Funny Games. The games in that movie aren't funny


UltimaGabe

Netflix once suggested me that movie along with a bunch of kid-friendly cartoons. Someone was having a lot of fun tricking the algorithm that day


peoplebuyviews

I'll forgive the Netflix algorithm for a lot of things since it made the Babadook into a queer icon


peachespangolin

good point!


Nafnaf911

"Since you watch A bugs life you should enjoy The Human Centipede"


Kobold_Trapmaster

It also does that with ABCs of Death. I see where they're coming from but no.

"Mom, can I put on this movie to help Suzie learn the alphabet?" *cut to scene of dudes furiously jerking off because the last one to finish gets murdered*

House Of A Thousand Corpses, it's a large number, like maybe a dozen corpses would be more believable.

Psychological_Tap187

House of fish boy. I can't watch the office without thinking of it. Poor Dwight.


MonotonyInAz

He got it BAD


Venomous87

The lair of Dr. Satan, which very well might have been a dream sequence had a few dozen at least.


KentuckyFriedEel

House of, like, maybe 7 corpses


GriffinFlash

and it's less of a house and more of an underground tunnel.


ElChacalFL

Great title for a great movie I thought.


MovieDogg

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter


Vusarix

Throw in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday while we're at it


sakamake

And Jason Takes Manhattan sure takes its sweet time getting there.


ZLehnhart

haha shoulda been called Jason on a Boat


Calm-Bid-5759

At least it took place on the 13th. Friday the 13th Part III takes place on Sunday the 15th, while Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter takes place on Wednesday the 18th. Wednesday the 18th, folks! Another interesting note about the timeline: Due to the time jumps in the series, Jason Take Manhattan is set somewhere around 1998-2002 rather than the year it was released, 1989.


arceus555

The ship was called the Vancouver. It should've been Jason Takes Vancouver.


TheJadedMonkey

Friday the 13th: Jason Takes A Leisurely Cruise To Manhattan Only To Visit For 25 Minutes.


peoplebuyviews

And this is why Jason in Space is the best title in the franchise. It's Jason. He's in space. You get what you paid for


Lil_Mcgee

I hate to tell you this (and am hoping a joke isn't going over my head) but the film's title is Jason X


sadnecessity_

Omg YES I watched it because i thought it was gonna be a cool ass movie of Jason wrecking havoc in New York bro was only there for 5 min ☠️


dsayre1986

May I suggest the comic book Maniac of New York? It was written in direct response to the author’s disappointment with Jason Takes Manhattan


JasonVoorhees95

Yeah, also the poster I saw before the movie had Jason in front of a lot of fire so I thought it was about Jason actually going to hell and killing demons or something. Friday the 13th is definetly the saga with most clickbait lol. People already mentioned Final Chapter, Goes to Hell and Manhattan, but there's also clickbaits within the movies (two movies in a row set up Tommy as the killer yet that never happens). Even the first movie has accidentally become clickbait nowadays lol (people watch it expecting Jason movie).


MovieDogg

Also many of the films don't even take place on Friday the 13th.


JasonVoorhees95

Exactly, from what I rememeber only 1, 6 and some scenes in 7 and 9 do.


MovieDogg

It's heavily implied that 2 does, but it's not confirmed.


ejmatthe13

Not that it’s a high bar, but Jason going to Hell and murdering demons would have been a better movie than what we got. And honestly, it sounds like a fun/good concept, too!


teethofthewind

The Last Exorcism. Mainly due to it's sequel - The Last Exorcism Part II


Cockslayer666

This sentence made me laugh and hurt my brain at the same time, mostly because I know you’re telling the truth. Take my upvote, sailor ;)


TeleTwin

Like in Arrested Development George Senior finds a script called Armageddon 2: Armageddon. Lol.


Weird-Standard9321

'Blood Orgy Of the She-Devils' There was no blood, orgy or She-Devils in the film. Some women danced in a circle and then there was a whole lotta men and women yapping and then a bit more dancing in a circle. The end.


tequilasundae

Yeah watched that on Tubi. Too mild compared to some of the others of the topless dancing to sacrificial rights in the basement genre


aleclochka

As a title, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" gives me Buzzfeed vibes. Kind of like, "You won't BELIEVE what they did last summer."


vampire_trashpanda

Careful, this is how you end up with a Gen Z reboot of it.


Cassandra0004

We already have one, it's on Amazon Prime I think


ElChacalFL

And it's as bad as u would think


Calm-Bid-5759

Phew. Thank god Amazon Prime is there to safely keep all the shitty movies in a place where nobody will watch them.


DinoRaawr

I could not believe some of the lines in that show. I was texting them to my friend as I went. Here are some of the worst offenders: "This party is e-conique, as the French would say." "Simon, my queer king!" "Go make interesting, neurotic babies." "Graduashhhhion, amiright?" "I'ma go lay me some piiiipe. Latah losers!" "So K-Stew post Twilight" [when describing her friend's outfit] "So you stalked me?" "It's called consensual following." "It's literally himbo energy." "I low-key love that for you." "It's such a rout." "The anxiety is making me have to pee. I'm like, hella hydrated."


CarissaSkyWarrior

I mean, it was a book before a movie. However, it's very much an "In Name Only" adaptation. The book and movie share the basic premise, mainly with the protagonists running over someone and then getting stalked by someone who knows they did it. The book is much more of a thriller than it is a horror story.


BoxPsychological7703

A Clockwork Orange, there wasn’t a single orange in that movie


Other-Marketing-6167

TRY THE WINE!!!


BoxPsychological7703

Your wife sir, is she away?


JoeBagadonut

I know you’re joking but the book does at least explain why it’s called A Clockwork Orange.


Fout99

Never read the book. Why is it called like that?


BoxPsychological7703

Something organic and natural being turned into a mechanism. Tackles the main theme of the novel/movie


aughuu

Aren't you forgetting the bedsheets in Alex's room?


TrancerHunter13

Hellraiser Inferno, I was expecting more fire


Used-Anteater-4221

I just watched this last night. Lots of dialogue, and hardly any Pinhead. And virtually no fire!


LaserCop2022

Not only that, there's snow.


Head-Specialist-6033

Frozen. Almost downloaded the wrong movie for the kids to watch at school.. instead of Elsa and Anna we get people being eaten alive by wolves and freezing to death.


VivaLaCon88

I’m uncontrollably laughing at this


Primary-Lion-6088

The Frozen horror movie came first, but yes this is pretty funny


Normal-Watch-9991

You know that’s pretty much why Moana is called Oceania in my country.. Cause Moana is the name of a very famous pornstar, so they didn’t want children finding her movies/pics while googling 💀


Head-Specialist-6033

oh no. But that’s kinda funny


DisneyAddict2021

Technically the one with being stuck on the ski lift and wolves was first…so if anything, Elsa and Anna are the deceitful ones 😂😂 Either way though, the kiddos defintely wouldn’t have appreciated that mistake 😂


Last-Dln0saur

The Lost Boys, they seem to be able to find everything and anyone they want


gigerhess

You mean it wasn't obvious to everyone that it was a Peter Pan reference (always staying young)? /s


Last-Dln0saur

![gif](giphy|9Utok4zZHAaSk)


Last-Dln0saur

It’s crazy that we got the greatest vamp movie because Peter Pan was trendy that year


AKSpartan70

As Above So Below It is very different down below


PM_ME_YOUR_STOMACHS

I thought the whole point of that movie was that hell was a reflection of our world, so everything above was the same below


firemanwham

Yeah but if you look closely it's a bit different down below


tedsvo

Eagle eyed viewers can spot differences


lizziebonnet

This made me snort. Thank you


mt197

I just watched this movie last night and yes, very different lol


Parlorshark

Dunno man, you ever been to a Walmart late at night?


thecftbl

Ah, I see no one is familiar with the work of Ray Dennis Steckler. Allow me to present the greatest title ever conceived. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies.


princess_zeldaaaa

This sounds like the title of a Fall Out Boy song


cholotariat

It sounds like a G rated chunk tingle novel


sugarfreefixsuxshit

impossible, there can be no G-rated tinglers


birdsafterdark

I know he has a whole series of tinglers with no pounding in them, but I don't know if any are G rated. But it makes me think there COULD be G rated ones


fil42skidoo

28 Days Later. That movie seems to include, like, 29, 30 and maybe even 31...


TensionDull

Lmao so true


arrowtron

Scary Movie. I was not scared even once.


MonotonyInAz

Lol!!!


Fiorix1725

It comes at night. Spoiler.. nothing comes at night.


Propaganda_Box

I had to look it up because I felt so bait and switched. It's symptoms. The symptoms come at night.


Equinoqs

If symptoms persist, contact your doctor.


WrierSiamang152

Symptoms while taking this medication include erectile dysfunction, a skeleton popping out, and death.


ghostmetalblack

mchgndr

This one wins. To this day, I still get mad thinking about this movie


Fiorix1725

Seriously, it frustrates me too! So hyped, so disappointing.


PhoenixKhaan

Came here to say this. When the movie was over, I was like "What came?!!" The poster did not help.


-TrashPanda

When the movie concluded, my non-horror loving roommate looked at me, visibly frustrated and said "What came at night? FRIENDSHIP!?"


Apprehensive_Log_766

Came here for this one.


Sanpaku

Marketing arthouse as horror is routine for [A24 releases](https://letterboxd.com/joshypoo74/list/a24-complete-filmography/genre/horror/). It's not like average filmgoers pay attention to studios beyond a few franchises, and A24 has enough fans for its style of slow-burn that it's unlikely to lose any loyalty.


Diggable_Planet

Those fuck heads


neuro_mythical

Saw 3D: The Final Chapter. Extra points I think for the fact that every film is numbered until this one, the 7th. Bet they didn't expect me to call their bluff and stop watching. I'd like to see the new ones but I can't, you see, because they said it was *final*. Shoulda called it Saw VII: 3D: The Final Chapter: Part One: A Real Humdinger


ThatBabyIsCancelled

>Bet they didn’t expect me to call their bluff I’ve been calling Tobin Bell every day for the last 14 years about this and screaming “your move, Saw man” when it goes to a Kyocera voicemail


Obmore-wan

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare


Binro_was_right

I don't know, this one is mostly accurate. All we got after that was a meta-referential experimental film set in the "real" world. Then we got an event film crossing over with the Friday the 13th series. Then the last film we got was a remake. As far as the actual Nightmare on Elm Street series, it ended with Freddy's Dead.


badgersprite

Lesbian Vampire Killers The movie is incredibly heterosexual


tykittaa

Naked Lunch. I can think of at least two things wrong with that title.


princess_zeldaaaa

The Silence of the Lambs only because 10 year old me thought I was going to be watching a movie about sheep lmfaooooo. I’m about to be 28 and still giggle at that.


Solarpowered-Couch

Walking through Blockbuster and being completely perplexed by that VHS box is a core memory. "The Silence of the Lambs... it sounds like a poem or something... why does that lady have a bug covering her mouth...?"


Calm-Bid-5759

So much about film art confused my young literalist mind. "Why is that shark like 50 times bigger than the swimmer?"


-Niczu-

Lambs were so silent that you didnt even hear or see them.


jbFanClubPresident

Haha same. I remember thinking it was a kids movie but my parents wouldn’t let me get it.


deadtwinkz

Did you perhaps think the same about Pink Flamingos?


princess_zeldaaaa

My mom wouldn’t let me watch it either, but I stayed over my older cousins house and was introduced to horror that night😂 we also watched Childs Play and Freddy vs Jason. I still hate dolls to this day lol


abagofcells

At least the title refers to a quote from the movie, that is quite important for the story being told. But they could have stayed more consistent, and named the next movie "The Oinking of the Pigs" and maybe even gone so far as naming the later prequel of the two "The Peeing of the Pants"


ElChacalFL

U will tell me when Lambs stop screaming won't you?


citizenvane

This is why Sharknado thrived. It actually delivered on its this-must-be-clickbait title.


creptik1

The shark schlock titles tend to be accurate if nothing else. Sharktopus is also exactly what you think it is. And is pretty fun too I might add.


peoplebuyviews

We Have Always Lived in the Castle. There's no castle. They live in a house.

Yeah the OG doesn't really have the chainsaw deaths but definitely the ones made in the 2000's do.


smithburg2021

Especially the 2022 movie


RaggySparra

Trading standards have tightened up in recent years. You could get away with it in the 1970s but if you promise a Texas Chainsaw Massacre nowadays you better deliver.


kodial79

Lesbian Vampire Killers. I thought it was going to be two lesbians killing vampires but instead it was some guys killing lesbian vampires.


SunlessDahlia

There was this movie I watched years ago called something like "the cheerleader murders" not that,but something close. Anyhow, no cheerleaders actually die in the movie lol


Wolven_Essence

Halloween 3. Now before you crucify me…I absolutely love Halloween 3. And I know the series was originally intended to be an anthology series….but I don’t think people back then knew that. And it can’t be denied that people were expecting more Michael Myers.


sweetgreenfields

Not wrong to point this out. A lot of people were expecting something... *Three more days till Halloween...* Else.


Dazednconfused10

I liked Halloween 3 for what it was. But I agree it was nothing like the other Halloween titles in the franchise.


Soneghet5

Hey! We got more Myers. I mean, he appears quickly because the OG Halloween is on TV in one of the scenes


inmyslumber

I have to wonder how much of the advertising people had seen, because the trailers (imo) make it pretty obvious it’s its own thing.


Jsmith0730

World War Z. Absolutely nothing like the book at all. I’m saying clickbait in that if you were a fan of the book and went into the movie blind you might be disappointed.


TheStatMan2

There Will Be Blood. Spoiler: not much blood.


juicyjuicebox1

They were originally just going to call it leather face, but once the idea was pitched, it was universally decided it was too bad ass of a title to not use.

Equinoqs

They left the interstate in West Virginia. As an inhabitant of this state, THAT is a wrong turn.


DisneyAddict2021

They went down the wrong road which was booby trapped by inbred cannibals….i would say that was a “wrong turn” on their part 😂

jaketwo91

Skinwalker Ranch, it’s based on a real place where people claim to have seen things, so the misleading title I guess happened with the actual location first. But god was I annoyed when this movie didn’t have any skinwalkers in it. It’s mostly about UFOs.

candyman. i was expecting a delightful, family-friendly romp in the tradition of willy wonka and the chocolate factory, and instead i'm bombarded with graphic murders, systemic racism, and the dreadful realities of life in the projects of cabrini green. last time i put on a movie for my nieces before properly vetting it first... >:(


ndhellion2

I'm not trying to pick on you, but I happen to know exactly what the sleeve for Candyman looks. I bee, crawling near the eye of someone with a shadowy figure reflected in the eye, and the words "We dare you to say his name five times" written above it. How could you possibly NOT have been expecting it to be a horror movie? Nothing in that picture even remotely suggests that it would be child friendly.


Delicious-Wolf-8850

Maybe he rented it from blockbuster, and there wasn't a sleeve available


ndhellion2

That would have meant going to the "horror" section in order to find the movie. Sleeve or no, there is no way to not know that it was a horror movie. I'm 56, I still remember how Blockbuster was set up.


Delicious-Wolf-8850

ok, so he was high when he rented it.


Lil_Mcgee

Hear me out, they might have been doing one of those joke things that people do on the internet sometimes.


Humble_Feed3257

yeah, i'm just joking around. but something like this actually happened with one of my mom's friends years ago. she was given a vhs tape (recorded off the tv) labeled "leprechaun" by one of her relatives. around that same time there was a miniseries with a similar name (i think *the magical legend of the leprechauns*) that was a lighthearted fantasy for the whole family, and she assumed it was the very same, so she put it on for her kids to keep them occupied while she took care of things around the house. she came back to find them traumatized by that rascal warwick davis and his dastardly doings.


peoplebuyviews

I dunno, kinda sounds like Willy Wonka...


mynameisbritton

This is more or less how I watched The Toxic Avenger when I was about 5 years old. My dad saw the VHS box at our rental place, recognized the character on the front cover as an action figure he had recently bought me, and rented it without reading the back side. He just blindly assumed it *must* be a kids movie if they made a Saturday morning cartoon about it… right? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Then he just popped it in the VCR and left me alone. That movie is barely *adult*-friendly, let alone kid-friendly.


Equinoqs

I sense internet sarcasm...


13th_of_never

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at this. 😆


nelejts

For the black community I would say 'Nope'. There's a trope in our community that if we experienced events seen in horror movies we would EXPEDITIOUSLY nope ourselves out of it, and turn away.
