WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 62 – Curtains: Linens Unleashed! / Zombies Vs. Vampires… Over Beer
Happy pending St. Patrick’s day to all! We’re back on the eve of the Irish day of debauchery and inebriation to bring you some fun, campy horror. What goes better with a few beers than some cheesy terror mixed with well-timed humor? This brings me back to the first time I ever saw Jennifer Aniston and knew I was in love. No, not the pilot episode of Friends. FUCKING Leprechaun! Casting Willow himself, Warwick Davis, as the Leprechaun, he brought to life one of the most underappreciated monsters of the genre in the last 30 years. Armed with shitty limericks and magic, he wreaks havoc on the countryside in search of his missing gold. We may not have Warwick’s gold, but we do have these two films today. And in our world, all films are worth their weight in gold.

Our first golden nugget is Curtains: Linens Unleashed, directed by Emmett Loverde. This one is in the style of a campy sci-fi/horror trailer about what happens when the world’s fabrics take over and start killing their makers. Blankets, laundry, rugs, gloves, hats, towels, washcloths, and of course curtains all start killing the human race while a group of scientists and patrons try to find a way to defeat them. I really enjoy the overall tone of this flick because it doesn’t take itself seriously. From the sketchy and over-the-top acting to the fishing lines dragging linens around on screen, it maintains a tongue planted firmly in cheek. It’s a fun watch with some perfectly timed jokes. Who doesn’t love a granny holding up a pair of edible panties??

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.
