WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 160 – The Last Stop
Dope as Fuck…
Today’s entry into the World of Death can only be described as “Dope as Fuck”. As an honor bound southsider born and raised in the City of Chicago, I do not throw those words around lightly. The “Dope as Fuck” rating is reserved only for people/places/things that truly are “Dope as Fuck”, but I assure you ladies and gentlemen that The Last Stop, from Davenport, Iowa’s own Izzy Sutton and Chris McClyea, is truly dope as fuck.
What makes The Last Stop dope as fuck? Its brisk six minute running time unfolds the narrative of an exterminator making his titular last stop of the day. The tension expertly mounts thanks to a Carpenter-esque score, proving once again that minimalist synth is fast becoming to horror movie sound design what E-A-B is to rock and roll chord progressions.
When the monster of the piece is finally revealed… words cannot even begin to describe the joy it brought into my heart. Oh wait, they CAN describe it, and that description is dope as fuck! Stories like this live and die on creature design and execution. The monster our poor doomed exterminator meets in the basement is something out of a Gwar music video. The Last Stop utilizes practical effects and I doubt I’m the only filmmaker looking to get Quad City Creature Fabrication and FX involved in their next project.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
