The idea of John Carpenter scooping cigarettes in a bag like candy, while the clerk says "You're my favorite customer" ala The Room, made me laugh harder than I have in awhile. XD
You now realise Sam Neil is the first and greatest lovecraftian actor. In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Posession... hell, even Jurassic Park deals with humanity facing giant ancient beings that ruled the Earth before humans.
„Vigo the carpathian“ was actually a pro boxer. That’s why he looks like an „ancient being“ that thick noseridge wasn’t made by nature but by many sculptors hands
The first time I saw this movie, I was 10 years old. I woke up at 2AM and couldn't fall asleep so I went into the living room and turned on the TV and it showed the R rating. Then the movie began and let me tell you, I don't even remember how I got to sleep after watching it. My mind was blown and terrified, and from that movie on, I've always looked at well-done horror with a special awe.
When he mentioned the "new mummy movie," I thought he was talking about the Brendan Fraser movie from the late 90s. I forgot the Tom Cruise one existed, too.
Fun nerdy ass fact(s) time! The cheesy lead guitar work in the intro (which I have always had a huge soft spot for) was performed by Dave Davies from The Kinks. Further to that, Dave's son, Daniel, actually plays lead guitar in Carpenter's live band these days (he also had a stint fronting CKY after Deron Miller left).
