Drawing A Blank #6: Even, Even, Even, Even, Even More Cartoons You May Have Forgotten About
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more cult-classic cartoons into the ol’ VCR.
Y’all already know that we couldn’t get through October without another edition of Drawing a Blank.
If this is your first time with this series, welcome!
To give you a quick TL;DR, Drawing a Blank is a little series where I curate a list of cartoons I watched as a kid that you may have forgotten about over the years.
And yes, I’m listening to all of the theme songs while writing this piece.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll make you wish you could burn a CD:

Salem’s Lot Is A Whole Lot Of Bad
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Salem’s Lot (2024) into the ol’ VCR.
Look…
I’m always going to be a bit of a harsh critic when it comes to film adaptations of Stephen King novels (I famously hate Doctor Sleep).
My criticism doubles for Salem’s Lot because it’s my favorite novel of his.
I went into Salem’s Lot with an open mind.
I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, it was stuck in development hell and didn’t get a theatrical release because of some red tape.
But deep down, I saw the writing on the wall. I knew that it probably wasn’t good and had been recut and reshot into oblivion.
And, unfortunately, my gut was right.
Before we get started, let me drop in one of my trademark disclaimers:
The great thing about movies is that we can discuss and debate them. Just because I think a movie is great doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie is awful doesn’t make it a bad movie. Also, making a movie is extremely difficult and incredibly badass, and I don’t want to detract from the process.
Alrighty, let’s get into it.
Do I think this iteration of Salem’s Lot is unwatchable? Not necessarily.
But do I think the weird CGI choices, like the glowing crosses, and the weird performance choices, like Pilou Asbæk’s decision to play Straker as though he’s Nicholas Cage in Renfield, do it any favors? No, no I do not.
Additionally, to invoke one of my battle cries, they need to pick a lane.
There are times where Salem’s Lot swerves into comedy horror’s lane (which I don’t agree with), so I think we should’ve just stuck to a full-on horror approach. But, if they were going to go comedic, they should’ve fully committed.
As I mentioned earlier, it’s also obvious that this movie was poked and prodded, and I personally would love to see the original cut.
The pacing of this movie is also WILD.
I know that Salem’s Lot is around 439 pages long, so there were definitely going to be some cuts.
But to go from Ben Mears’s arrival to vamps in like 25 minutes is insane.
And, to invoke another one of my battle cries, I think this one would’ve worked better as a series.
I can’t help but think about how well Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass worked because he was able to build tension and let the vampirism slowly seep throughout the town.
I also think Mike Flanagan could’ve made one hell of a Salem’s Lot remake, but again, he already made Midnight Mass, and I don’t want people to think of him as a one-trick pony.
The 1979 miniseries adaptation of Salem’s Lot still reigns supreme for me, but I do think that if the source material was placed in the right hands it could be usurped one day.
But please don’t take that as an invitation to make another half-assed adaptation.
I don’t know if my little heart could take it…and I have a bad knee and don’t drive, so I couldn’t curl myself up in the trunk at the drive-in if Barlow turned me because my heart was giving out.

Hilarity Meets Horror: A Spotlight On Jordan Peele
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Jordan Peele into the ol’ VCR.
Like Samara Weaving’s spotlight, I don’t have a dramatic intro for you on this one, as it seems Jordan Peele doesn’t use a stage name.
Born on February 21, 1979, Jordan Peele was raised by his mother in Manhattan.
He allegedly loved movies from a young age and knew from the age of 12 that he wanted to become a director.
His education includes The Calhoun School and two years at Sarah Lawrence.
After leaving Sarah Lawrence, Jordan Peele would go on to perform at The Second City in Chicago, Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, and act as the host for MTV’s Comedy Weekend 2002.
In the early 2000s, Jordan Peele became a cast member on Mad TV, where he would go on to meet Keegan-Michael Key. The two regularly appeared in sketches together over the years, until Jordan Peele left Mad TV in 2008.
Jordan Peele appeared in movies and shows like Wanderlust and Children’s Hospital, and would then go on to star in Key & Peele with Keegan-Michael Key from 2012-2015 and the movie Keanu in 2016.
In 2017, Jordan Peele released his first horror film, Get Out, and the rest is history.
He’s gone on to direct Us and Nope, develop a reboot of The Twilight Zone, produce shows like Lovecraft Country, co-write and co-produce Candyman (2021), start Monkey Paw Productions, and much, much more.
There’s not much more that I can say about Jordan Peele that hasn’t already been said.
Jordan, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Jordan Peele content*:
*Note: This list is going to be a little different than usual because Jordan Peele has produced, written, directed, and starred in so much content that I’m going to pull from everything he’s been involved with.
- Us
- Nope
- Get Out
- Candyman
- Key & Peele
- Monkey Man
- Wendell & Wild
- Lovecraft Country

No More Funny Business: Some of My Favorite Clown Horror Content
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping clown horror content into the ol’ VCR.
Clowns have never been a fear of mine.
I’m not down to clown by any means, but they don’t scare me.
They did bother my mom, though, so watching It (1990) in our house was always fun growing up.
I digress.
Video source: Artinistus
Okay, this commercial makes me understand coulrophobia a bit better
With the release of Terrifier 3 right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to throw out some other clown-centric horror content to keep you satisfied in the interim.
These recs range from camping classics to black comedies, so you’ll be laughing, crying, and everything in-between.
Also, for some reason, most of these movies are gory as hell, so I would HIGHLY recommend doing a little research before watching them.
When you put something silly on in the thrift store and wait for your friend to turn around
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 clown-centric and clown-adjacent horror content that’ll make you never look at a balloon animal the same way ever again:

A Girl Can Stream #2: More Fake Streamer Movie Categories That Should Exist
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more fictional streamer categories into the ol’ VCR.
If you happened to miss the first edition of A Girl Can Stream, here’s a quick recap.
TL;DR – In true Baillee fashion, I loved a joke so much that it’s stuck with me for years, and I wanted to replicate/expand upon it.
I’m going to give you some streamer categories that I made up as well as content that fits the bill.
That’s all you really need to know.
This is also one of those series that I probably think is way funnier than it actually is, but c’est la vie.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.

I Have Something To Ad #2: Commercials That Live In My Head Rent Free – Halloween Edition
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite Halloween commercials into the ol’ VCR.
I’ve always loved a good commercial, which makes sense given my career trajectory.
But my favorite commercials are, unsurprisingly, Halloween commercials.
There’s just something about hearing that all-too-familiar General Mills Monster jingle whenever I pop in my family heirloom VHS.
Or THE Casper Pepsi commercial that played before the movie on the VHS. You know the one.
And if you don’t, you’ve come to the right place.
Yes, friends, today, this first day of the most wonderful time of the year, I’m going to share some of my favorite Halloween commercials with all of you.
I really wanted to kick off my favorite month of the year with something super fun, and I think this is the perfect way to herald in the most wonderful time of the year.
Additionally, I thought this would be a great follow up to the first edition of I Have Something To Ad.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite Halloween commercials:

The Substance Injects Symbolism And Important Commentary Through Body Horror
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance into the ol’ VCR.
CW/TWs: EDs, SI, extreme gore and violence, and all like topics
The Substance didn’t live up to my expectations…
…it exceeded them.
Not only is this movie one of my favorite horror movies of the year, it’s one of my favorite movies of the year, period.
Demi Moore’s performance is at an all-time high, and we get to see her like we’ve never seen her before (and don’t take that comment lightly).
But, let’s back up.
If you aren’t familiar with The Substance, here’s a really quick synopsis:
Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a 50-year-old celebrity who is being phased out of her own fitness show because of the ridiculous beauty standards and ageism of Hollywood. In an attempt to keep everything she’s worked so hard for and regain her confidence, she tries a mysterious new drug, known only as “the substance,” to unlock a younger version of herself (Margaret Qualley).
Now, The Substance really could’ve fumbled the message. In fact, that was my biggest concern going in.
I wasn’t looking for another movie that basically said, “Everything works out for you if you’re young and hot!”
However, I can safely assure you that The Substance seems to be vehemently against that mentality.
I’m going to try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible because I went in blind, and I think you should too.
I will say, though, that I’m going to have to talk about some of the body horror stuff to make my point, so if you want to skip to the paragraph that starts with “However, The Substance[…],” now’s the time.
Additionally, please take the CWs/TWs I put at the top seriously, as those topics will be discussed from here on out.
Alrighty, let’s get into it.
As someone who has been in recovery for their EDs for a few years, one thing that really stuck out to me in The Substance was the focus on EDs.
I struggled with anorexia and workout bulimia throughout my teens and early to mid-20s, and if you’ve ever struggled, please know I see you and I hear you. I’ll also put some resources at the end of the piece if you need to talk to someone and/or are ready to seek treatment.
Throughout The Substance, we either don’t see Elisabeth eat, or she binge eats. Additionally, she throws up very early on in the film after only drinking. There are also several scenes throughout, like when she’s meeting with Harvey (Dennis Quaid) at a restaurant, where we are given close ups of him binge eating, as Elisabeth appears to eat nothing.
In my opinion, I believe that Elisabeth has bulimia, and that’s why we only see her binge eating. Elisabeth also teaches aerobics classes, and another symptom of bulimia is extreme exercise.
I also believe that some side-effects from the substance are all meant to reflect the dangerous consequences of long-term EDs.
For example, EDs can cause hair loss, tooth decay, substance abuse (in this case, THE substance abuse), brittle nails, osteoporosis, etc…
Many of these complications mirror what happens to Elisabeth whenever Sue doesn’t switch back.
There’s also a scene where Sue pulls a chicken wing out of her belly button, which could be perceived in a couple of different ways…
Either a) it represents a physical manifestation of Elisabeth’s binging and purging or b) it represents a physical manifestation of how Elisabeth believes that if she eats, it will cause her to gain weight.
I would also like to call out a line from the phone operator (I have no clue what to call this person) for the substance wherein he tells Elisabeth that essentially any damage done to her by Sue’s negligence can’t be undone, which aligns with some of the more severe complications from EDs. Once you’ve done so much damage to your body, it can’t be fixed.
However, The Substance doesn’t just tackle the subject of EDs, but rather, it tackles ageism, sexism, the impossible beauty standards placed on women and femme-presenting peeps, self-consciousness, and everything in between.
It also takes female rage to a primal level, and I’m here for it.
Additionally, the messages are so powerful throughout that I found myself rolling my eyes on more than one occasion.
It’s also…funny? Albeit, uncomfortably and darkly funny, but still.
The TL;DR is that this movie freakin’ RULES.
But, it’s gnarly. I do have to warn you that it’s gnarly.
Now, for someone like me who watches horror like it’s my job (which, I guess it kind of is?), I’ll be honest and say that it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Is it absolutely grotesque? 100%.
But as someone who has seen their fair share of Brian Yuzna, I wasn’t as disgusted as the people sitting next to me.
I’ll put it this way—if you’ve watched Society and made it through the shunting scene, I think you’ll be okay.
If you can handle guts and gore and killer practical effects, I HIGHLY recommend watching this one as soon as you can.
And remember, you are one.

Please know that you aren’t alone, and there are resources available to help you get into recovery. I’ve linked some below. I love you. 🖤

Let The Floorshow Begin: My 10 Favorite Dragula Looks
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping 10 of my favorite Dragula looks into the ol’ VCR.
We all know that I’m a BIG Dragula fan.
I’ve also been catching up on my podcasts because I’ve been so busy, and I’m so behind.
The other day, I listened to the episode of Creatures of the Night where Ian and The Boulets named their favorite Dragula looks, so I decided to follow suit.
However, unlike Ian and The Boulets, I’m not going to list mine in any particular order. It was hard enough to make this list, and it would take me days to actually rank these.
And, y’all need a blog to read. 👀
In the words of The Boulets, drag is art, and art is subjective.
Just because a look didn’t make my list doesn’t mean that I didn’t like it; these are just the looks that immediately came to mind when I thought of my favorites.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite looks from Dragula:
Dahli’s “Weird, Wild, West” look:
IMO, Dahli is one of the most talented drag artists ever
Bitter Betty’s “Weird, Wild, West” look:
Photo source: missbitterbetty
Terminator: Two Doors Down
Sigourney Beaver’s “Monsters of Rock” look:
Tbh, this is so Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera coded
Saint’s “Vampire” look from Resurrection:
I think about this look CONSTANTLY
Sigourney Beaver’s “Horror Icons Reimagined” look:
This silhouette THOUGH
Victoria Elizabeth Black’s “Vampire” look from Resurrection:
If I ever become a vampire and don’t look like this, just stake me
Evah Destruction’s “Halloween House Party” look:
This look is hotter than hell
Landon Cider’s “Don’t Suck” look:
I can’t tell you how hot and bothered I got during several of Landon’s performances this season
Priscilla Chambers’s “Ghost” look from Resurrection:
This performance gave me GOOSEBUMPS
Louisianna Purchase’s “Dungeons and Drag Queens” look:
I’ve gotta give it up for one of my local queens

“…But You’re Still Not Having Any FUN!”: My Pitch For A Face/Off Remake
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my pitch for a Face/Off remake into the ol’ VCR.
I won’t take up too much of your time today, friends, but I have a pitch for all of you that I’d like to share.
When I had Covid, I rewatched Face/Off for the first time in a hot minute.
As I was watching it, inspiration struck.
And that brings us to today.
I want a remake of Face/Off with Dan Stevens as Castor Troy and Glen Powell as Sean Archer.
Hear me out.
Admit it – you can picture Dan Stevens doing this
We all know Dan Stevens can play a villain. We saw it in Abigail, The Guest, and Cuckoo. Additionally, not only can he play a villain, but he can play a myriad of villain archetypes.
We also know that Glen Powell can play a whole cavalcade of characters because of the versatility he showed off in Hit Man.
Just imagine these two together. PURE. CHAOS.
They’re also both not afraid to have fun, and I think watching them play each other would be *chef’s kiss.*
Also, movies like Twisters have been so much fun to go see and have proven to be a success at the box office.
As a person who just loves movies in general, I would be seated for a remake of Face/Off with these two on opening weekend.
So, Movie Mavens, there’s my pitch.
I’ll be waiting, Hollywood.
P.S. Let’s leave out any of the stuff that didn’t age well, shall we?

What I Think The General Mills Monsters Are Like IRL
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping what I think the General Mills Monsters are like IRL into the ol’ VCR.
Okay, so, I need to give all of you some context for this one.
As you know, I have a Count Chocula tattoo.
During the session when I got said Count Chocula tattoo, my artist, Lito, and I had a conversation about what we think Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry are like IRL.
I loudly said, “Oh, Count Chocula FUCKS,” not knowing that another artist was walking by, and Lito and I still get a good laugh out of that story to this day.
In my last session, we, once again, returned to the conversation about what we think some of the General Mills Monsters are like, and I realized that it was time that I not only shared some of my thoughts with you, but extended my thoughts to other General Mills Monsters.
And don’t worry, I’m also writing another piece about the actual history of the General Mills Monsters, so this little goofy bit won’t be the last time they’re mentioned on B Movies.
Lastly, I just want to give a disclaimer about how this is all in good fun.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here’s what I think the General Mills Monsters are like IRL:
Count Chocula
As I stated earlier, I think Count Chocula gets it. Count Chocula is one of those guys that you’re attracted to, but you just can’t put your finger on why. He’s not the guy you date, but he is the guy you stay in a situationship with for way longer than you should. He also loves Hoodie Allen and sends “hey, stranger” texts.
Franken Berry
Franken Berry is the Ken of the General Mills Monster world. He’s a sweet himbo that only wants to treat you right, even though there’s nothing going on behind those eyes. Franken Berry is the kind of guy who always holds the door open for you and can’t watch My Dog Skip without tearing up. He’s also not afraid to buy period products for whoever needs them.
Boo Berry
Boo Berry is the epitome of “I’m a nice guy.” He’s the random guy who will follow you on Instagram and then send you a DM talking about how beautiful your smile is. Boo Berry will also tell you how much better than your partner he is and get mad when you don’t respond. His fridge is full of Mountain Dew, and his pantry is full of Cheetos, but there’s not a single paper towel in the entire house.
Carmella Creeper
Carmella Creeper is the cool queer girl you wish you could be. She’s still on good terms with every single one of her exes, and she learned to DJ during the pandemic like Trixie Mattel. Carmella Creeper stays at the forefront of pop culture, and she always knows someone at the show that can get you backstage. Her favorite band is Bikini Kill.
Frute Brute
Frute Brute and Franken Berry are best friends. Frute Brute is a little more guarded than Franken Berry, but he’s a really great guy when you get to know him. He loves sports, but he can also quote Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. Additionally, Frute Brute makes sure that everyone is included and has a zero tolerance for bullying. Boo Berry is both terrified and intimidated by him.
Yummy Mummy
Yummy Mummy is a drag artist and is vocal online about LGBTQIA+ issues. He works as a graphic designer by day, and his nail polish is never chipped. Yummy Mummy is hoping to one day make it to the Dragula stage, but he’ll take headlining local venues for now. He loves Twin Temple and Orville Peck.
