"Two creepy 'horror' films joined together by Merlin's Shop which is, in turn, introduced by a Grandpa telling the story."ĭirected and written by Kenneth J. Rotten Tomatoes (Critics N/A, Viewers 16%) - Wikipedia - TVTropes "MY GOD, DAVID!" This was a close second in our choice of stingers. We also loved the psychic taking David to task so virulently. It sounds like he could be saying "F***ing old Martian." It seems to be such a pure kid moment - how did they get it on film? To wit: "Rock and roll martian." We laughed very hard, we played it over and over again, and there was a lot of discussion about what the kid was saying. Or we'll simply be fascinated by the moment. This will happen in each of the four or five viewings of the particular film and each time we'll have a long discussion, casting theories and supposing explanations for the odd moment. We will go back and forth over the same few seconds of movie, frame by frame, and we'll dissect and discuss the moment.

I love this one, it's all so bizarre and inexplicable. someone made a movie like The Princess Bride, except instead of Peter Falk he could only get Ernest Borgnine, and instead of a charming and witty tale he had two mediocre made-for-TV fantasy-horror movies, and the kid instead of going to sleep with dreams of high adventure and romance was instead left with nightmares of demonic familiars and cursed deadly toy monkeys? In a world where schlock truly exists anything can happen. "In a world where magic truly exists, anything can happen." What if.
