WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 181 – Vicki
What’s up, WOD Watchers??
I missed you all so much and I’m totally psyched to be back again to introduce you to another World of Death classic! TOTALLY. Time to hop in your Deloreans, get that bitch up to 88 mph, and take a trip back to the 80’s for today’s gem.
Today’s shortie comes from director Bill Palmer and is entitled “Vicki”. The best way I could describe this movie is a cross between Karate Kid and Christine, while hitting every 80’s nostalgia note along the way. A nerdy outcast is bullied by a group of degenerates in his town and buys a car to be cool. He soon finds out that the car has a personality of its own and gets a little over-protective of its driver. Much like a murderous Mr. Miyagi, with more horsepower and a thirst for blood.
This was definitely a fun watch and rides the wave of the 80’s nostalgia in the genre that will seemingly never go away. Let’s face it. It was the golden era of horror and will always sell. The acting and plot is over-the-top, which I assume was purposely done for the style of the film and it works great. It has some great gory kill scenes and offers some brilliant lighting and costume designs. The effects were practical and impressive, given some of the gags in the movie. It definitely made me miss cassette tapes. NOT.
Anyway, buckle up and hold on tight. There are no airbags in this ride. Enjoy yourselves and until next time, viewers…
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.
