“Amityville Turkey Day” – That’s No Cranberry Sauce! Check Out the DVD Here! Rocco, a sleazy indie film director, is given one last project to director with the stipulation of not to squander the funds and to make a competent hit movie without completely making principal photography a nightmare for the cast and crew.  Having landed a large estate to shoot his film, the house comes with a…

Look at this peon. This fool. A man who thinks he could shut me down in front of the people, and for what? Trying to create life and initiate a master-plan to take over the village, and then inevitably the world? (That's, like..a misdemeanor. That Frankenstein guy did it in all the movies, and he's famous, isn't he?) Well, a few well-placed distractions and he's unable to get a word in! (DON'T TRY TO SWAP HIS VOCAL CORDS FOR YOURS HERE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS: https://cstng.cc/projects/unnecessary-evils-character-recasting)

you know what the hatchetfield trilogy (i think it’s gonna be a trilogy of musicals but i could be wrong; anyway, bear with me) reminds me of?? and i don’t think I’ve EVER seen them compared before?? THE FUCKING CORNETTO TRILOGY??

for those of you who don’t know, the cornetto trilogy is a trilogy by british filmmaker edgar wright, definitely check them out if you can.

so here are all the similarities, which is insane to me:

- both are comedy-horror, that mix the two expertly while also having lots of emotional beats

- both have 3 (?) instalments, with each loosely based around a colour (blue = tgwdlm + hot fuzz, red = shaun of the dead + ?, green = black friday + worlds end)

- both are based around and subvert horror tropes like zombies, aliens, cults, robots

- both are trilogies mostly connected by their actors and running jokes, rather than a single continuous storyline

idk if there are any other starkid fans who are also edgar wright fans, but this SHOOK ME, and basically the message here is that cornetto trilogy fans should check out hatchetfield, and starkid fans should check out the cornetto trilogy.
