WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 86 – Monoxide / Dead Reception
Hey WOD Watchers!
Here we are again for another Thursday frolic through the horror forest. I guess if today had a theme, it would be called “Until Death Do Us Part.” Today’s movies are centered around marriage. What’s scarier than settling down for the rest of your life and hoping you’re not the first to die? Once you hit your late 20’s, social media pages basically turn into horror websites with all the weird marriage proposal photos and grand announcements. I actually miss the days when it was just a big exchange of hangover cures and fart videos. But I digress…
Heading up the episode, we have MONOXIDE by Evan Marlowe. This one is about an unhappily married couple constantly fighting. By fighting, I mean she’s a nagging bitch of a wife and he’s a Milton-esque dweeb taking all her shit. The only thing he is missing is a red stapler. Well, after taking so much, he decides to to try and end the marriage according to the wedding vows. The best part of this short are the actors. I think they brought a dynamic relationship to the screen in a short period of time. The wife is horrendous and you wish all kinds of bad things on her and he’s the pathetic counterpart that you want to drop off at the animal shelter for a mercy kill. Well done by both actors and kudos to the director for getting them prepared for their roles.
Next up, we have DEAD RECEPTION from director Matthew Powell. ynomerec ginddew a ta ecalp sekat eno sihT. Oh shit, sorry. I was still in reverse mode. This one takes place at a wedding ceremony where everyone starts violently throwing up. And for once, it’s not from all the sappy romance. Perhaps everyone made the wrong choice when they marked chicken or fish. OR MAYBE THERE WAS NO RIGHT CHOICE?! Let’s face it. The only ones making bad choices here are the bride and groom. This was an innovative and daring film in terms of editing and storytelling. It’s a simple concept made fascinating by unorthodox technique. The first couple minutes are almost hypnotizing and it’s fun watching it all unfold before you. dne eht litnu hctaw uoy erus ekaM
Enjoy the show! I hope you enjoyed me shitting on love for 10 minutes.
Roll it!

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.
