Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Summer I Turned Pretty into the ol’ VCR.

Welcome back to another edition of “Baillee watched a show meant for youths and now has big opinions about it.” (as seen with Emily in Paris) 

We all know that I love teen dramas. 

The O.C. is even one of my favorite shows of all time. 

Every now and then, a new teen drama comes out that I obsess over for 3-5 months. 

And friends, I finally watched The Summer I Turned Pretty…and have ordered the entire book series. 

With the final season dropping next month, I thought it only fair to talk about my hot takes in three sections. 

But let’s back up. 

The Summer I Turned Pretty tells the story of the Conklins and the Fishers, two families whose mothers are best friends. Each summer, both moms and their kids vacation at the Fishers’ beach house, but during one faithful summer, Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) manages to gain romantic interests in the Fisher brothers, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). 

Houston, we have a love triangle. 

Now, I’m going to try to keep things as spoiler-free as I possibly can, but I’m going to have to address some plot points when discussing my hot takes. 

If you want to go in without any information, I would hold off on this piece and come back when you’ve watched the first two seasons. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are three of my big hot takes about The Summer I Turned Pretty. 

Jeremiah and Belly have no chemistry

I said what I said. When I saw my jaw hit the floor whenever we found out that Jeremiah had feelings for Belly. I never saw their relationship outside of anything platonic until the POV shifts from Belly’s to Jeremiah’s. IMO, they act like brother and sister and/or best friends, and I think it’s a really word choice to throw feelings in the mix. I haven’t read the books yet, so it might be portrayed differently, but in the show, those two have the chemistry of a potato and a paper bag.

I don’t think Belly is easy to root for. 

Belly is giving me Rory Gilmore energy, and we all know how I feel about Rory, especially in the later seasons. Whenever Nicole (Summer Madison) clocks her at the deb ball, I almost fell to my knees in gratitude. Belly isn’t innocent in the whole Jeremiah/Conrad situation because she kisses both of them and then breaks up with Jeremiah because Conrad, the brother she’s had a crush on since childhood, finally tells her he wants to be with her. WHAT. I also fully agree with Taylor’s reading Belly for having main character syndrome. Speaking of Taylor…

Taylor is a more interesting character than Belly. 

I don’t know if it’s because Rain Spencer’s portrayal of Taylor is compelling (or how differently Taylor is portrayed in the book series), but I enjoy watching Taylor’s storyline more than Belly’s. There are things I like about the main storyline, but overall, Taylor’s character is much easier to root for than Belly’s. I understand that Taylor is a little rough around the edges, but her heart is usually in the right place.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the story of the Loch Ness Monster into the ol’ VCR.

Welcome back to Curated Cryptids, the series where I get to research the stories behind all of my favorite cryptids. 

My sister has been begging me for weeks to cover her favorite cryptid, and friends, I’m finally doing it. 

The Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, is probably the most famous cryptid out there (as much as I love Mothman). 

Now, I could talk about Nessie for hours, but I’m not sure how enjoyable that would be, so I’m going give you a truncated version of the lore.

The earliest report of Nessie I could find is from the 7th century. Saint Columba, an Irish monk, claimed that some sort of aquatic creature dragged a man underneath the sea but was stopped from attacking Saint Columba and his companions after he basically hit it with his best Father Merrin impression. 

Then, beginning in the late 1800s, the reports of Nessie became more prominent. 

In 1933, two of the most famous accounts of Nessie were released: 

• George Spicer’s published sighting of Nessie* 
• Alex Campbell’s article in The Inverness Courier depicting Aldie Mackay’s sighting

*I believe this sighting was also published in The Inverness Courier, but I wasn’t able to confirm. 

1933 also marks the year that the first “photograph” of Nessie was taken by Hugh Gray, but the photo’s authenticity has been disproven over the years. 

However, the most famous “photograph” of Nessie, commonly referred to as the “surgeon’s photograph” was taken in 1934 by Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson. 

The “surgeon’s photograph” was admittedly a hoax that several men, including Dr. Wilson, staged using a toy submarine and wood putty. 

Following several “photographs” was the first “film” from G.E. Taylor, in 1938 wherein “Nessie” was shown for almost three minutes, but critics have written it off as a “floating object.” 

Over the years, countless “photos” and “videos” of Nessie have emerged, along with reports of sightings. Additionally, many a’ theory has been suggested as to Nessie’s species, ranging from a plesiosaur to long-necked newt. 

Pop culture also loves Nessie, and even the broad idea of Nessie-like creatures, giving her the spotlight in everything from Scooby-Doo to Joe Hill novels. 

I don’t know if I necessarily believe in a mythological creature, but I can’t rule out that there aren’t wild critters beneath the sea because so much of it remains unexplored. 

But I will tell you that if Nessie does exist, I respect her stance on avoiding the paparazzi.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping what I think the Universal Monsters are like IRL into the ol’ VCR. 

If you missed the piece we did like this for the General Mills Monsters, I would suggest checking it out to understand what you’re in for. 

Essentially, this is one of those that no one else probably enjoys as much as I do, but hey, sometimes, you just have to do something for you. 

TL;DR – I’m going to be a silly goose and tell you what I envision the Universal Monsters being like IRL. 

That’s it. 

Yes, I’m serious. 

The only real disclaimer here is that I’m capping this list at seven.

I know that more characters are considered Universal Monsters, but I think we captured the core group here. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.

Without further ado, here’s what I think the Universal Monsters are like IRL:

Dracula 

Much like Count Chocula and Nic Cage’s depiction of him in Renfield, I think Dracula would be a bit of an f boy. He would match with you on a dating app and then randomly unmatch you after a couple of dates. He would also definitely own NFTs, but you’d still try to defend him because of his perceived sophistication. 

The Mummy

The Mummy keeps his heart…under wraps. He’s one of those guys who *almost* gets it but still needs to do the work to educate himself about political issues. He’s not necessarily a bad guy, but you still can’t forgive all of his missteps. He has potential, but it’s going to take some legwork for him to get where he needs to be. 

The Invisible Man 

Out of all the Universal Monsters, the Invisible Man is the most self-conscious. He didn’t have a lot of luck dating in high school, so he’s nervous to ask anyone out on a date. He still nervously tugs at his clothes at special events, but he’s genuinely a good guy. Sometimes, his lack of confidence can cause problems, but he’s working on it in therapy and putting in all the work he needs to. 

The Bride of Frankenstein 

The Bride of Frankenstein’s favorite band is Wet Leg, and she’s a total queer icon. She’s fiercely independent and can quote Jawbreaker in its entirety. She and Frankenstein’s Monster are poly, and she’s recently been spotted with Jennifer Check. At the end of the day, she’s someone you can always rely on for the best music recommendations. 

Frankenstein (or, technically, Frankenstein’s Monster) 

Frankenstein’s Monster is the gentlest of giants, and his friends call him Frankie. He never forgets a birthday, and he always cries in My Girl. He works as a barista and behind the counter of his local comic book store, but is working on becoming a tattoo artist. He just DTR’d with the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and he and The Bride live happily in their studio apartment with their rescue dog, Bolt. 

The Wolf Man 

The Wolf Man may come across a little gruff, but he has a heart of gold. He’ll pick you up if your car breaks down, and he’s always ready to lend an ear when you need it. While he’s a man of few words, he does give great advice.

He doesn’t like to be out late, but he’ll always offer to come by in the morning and help you clean up after a party. He’s as reliable as they come, and he looks great in flannel. He and his husband, Derek, have been together for the past three years and often join The Bride and Frankie for brunch. 

The Creature from the Black Lagoon 

The Creature is the tortured artist type. They write poetry in their Moleskine that they’ll never share with the world, but it just feels better to get it out. They work with Frankie as a barista on the weekends and have a 9-to-5 they hate. They just became official with Frankie, and they’re smitten. The Bride also introduced them to Lucy Dacus, and they’ve never felt more inspired. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite water-based horror into the ol’ VCR.

Well friends, I don’t know how we got here, but summer’s right around the corner. 

And you know what that means. 

It’s time for me to inadvertently scare people into no longer enjoying some of their favorite summertime activities. 

Whoops. 

I have pools on the mind because I’m doing my first swim of the season week after next, so I thought: 

Why not accidentally ruin the water for everyone, including myself?

In today’s list, all of our scares are water-based, ranging from water parks to the ocean. 

Our scares also include everything from sharks to witches, so I apologize in advance. 

I also know that some of these might be a stretch, but hey, they involve water, so I’m counting them. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions. 

Without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite water-based horror movies: 

• Jaws
• Aquaslash 
• Lake Placid
• Open Water 
• Deep Blue Sea 
• The Host (2006) 
• The Beach House 
• Creature from the Black Lagoon
• Humanoids from the Deep (1980) 
• The Witch Who Came from the Sea

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Cassandra Peterson into the ol’ VCR.

Well friends, today is the day—we’re OFFICIALLY halfway to Halloween! 

So I thought what better way to celebrate today than with a spotlight on the Mistress of the Dark herself, Cassandra Peterson. 

Cassandra Peterson was born on September 17th, 1971, in Kansas. 

Her interest in horror began at a young age, as did her interest in show business. 

Cassandra Peterson began working as a go-go dancer in gay bars and nightclubs as a teenager (I know, I know). 

After graduating high school, she became a Vegas showgirl, where she met and went on a date with Elvis. 

Yes, I’m serious. 

From there, Cassandra Peterson had a few small roles in movies like The Working Girls and Diamonds Are Forever before moving to Italy to become the lead singer for both The Snails and I Latins 80. 

(I’m aware that she just keeps getting cooler and cooler) 

There, she was also introduced to Fellini, who cast her for a tiny part in Roma (1972). 

When Cassandra Peterson came back to the U.S., she landed in Miami, where she worked as a showgirl, joined Playboy as a model, and performed all over the states with Mama’s Boys, a comedy/musical group. 

A few years later, she became part of The Groundlings, where an early iteration of Elvira was born. 

In 1981, Cassandra Peterson auditioned for a horror host role in Los Angeles, booked the role, and thus, Elvira’s Movie Macabre was born. 

Now, I’m not going to dive into the drama surrounding the program’s inception, but I’ll briefly mention it for context. 

Maila Nurmi, aka Vampira, was initially brought on because the producers wanted to reboot her original show. 

However, they refused to hire who she wanted to play Vampira (or a version of Vampira—it’s not clear), so Cassandra Peterson was hired on. 

Maila Nurmi took legal action because she believed Elvira was a rip-off of Vampira, but Cassandra Peterson won. 

And unfortunately, this wouldn’t mark the end of Cassandra Peterson’s issues with getting Elvira her much-deserved spotlight. 

While Elvira’s Movie Macabre ran for five years, the feature film that was meant to catapult Elvira into the mainstream, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, actually bombed at the box office.

(It’s one of my personal faves, so I don’t understand it either) 

Cassandra Peterson went on to film a pilot for a show centered around Elvira that wasn’t picked up (um, why) and has had several projects stuck in development hell or simply cancelled.

However, she did release Elvira’s Haunted Hills in 2000, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003. 

I do want to clarify that I’m not saying any of this in a derogatory way. 

I think that Cassandra Peterson was ahead of her time, and it speaks volumes that a horror host whose Hollywood debut technically flopped is still one of the most recognizable characters of all time. 

Also, Cassandra Peterson is more than just Elvira. 

She’s appeared in campy cult films like All About Evil as well as classics like Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. 

Cassandra Peterson is also an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and came out herself in her autobiography, Yours Cruelly, Elvira. 

She also recently sold her Tesla and donated all the money to NPR, and she filmed a video of it being towed away with the words “Elon Sux” on the side. 

That’s why, although she’s had bad luck over the years with projects, it’s so badass to watch her be a household name, giving all those who wouldn’t give her a chance the middle finger. 

Cassandra Peterson flipped the horror host on its head with her biting commentary, double entendres, and big…comedic stylings. 

It’s also a testament to how fame doesn’t always depend on the quantity of your content, but rather, the quality. 

Over the years, Elvira has graced our screens to host movies for Halloween and, most recently, to celebrate her 40th anniversary with a four-movie marathon on Shudder. 

Cassandra, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤

You walked so that so many other badass women in the horror community could run, including this writer.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Queens of Drama into the ol’ VCR.

I’d heard some buzz around Queens of Drama during last year’s Fantastic Fest, and it had been on my radar ever since. 

I finally got a chance to see it this weekend, and I can definitively say that it’s worth the hype.

Queens of Drama tells the love story of Mimi Madamour (Louiza Aura) and Billie Kohler (Gio Ventura), star crossed lovers in the early aughts. 

Mimi is an aspiring, closeted, Britney Spears-esque pop star whose rise to fame is closer than she thinks. 

Billie is an out and proud, underground punk rock sensation who seems to hate everything about the world Mimi longs to be part of. 

The pair soon fall deeply and passionately in love, but as Mimi’s popularity skyrockets, and she refuses to come out in the process, will their love be able to withstand newfound fame and distance? 

Queens of Drama not only provides us with biting satire around celebrity and not-so-subtle allusions to the pop stars we grew up with, but it shows us a three-dimensional queer love story. 

Additionally, this movie is full of LGBTQIA+ characters and actors, which gave me the warm and fuzzies. 

Is it a satirical musical that includes a love song about fisting? Yes, BUT it’s also so rad to see a queer movie like on the big screen in this climate. 

Queens of Drama is something special. If you a) grew up with the pop princesses of the early aughts and/or b) were closeted and grew up with the pop princess of early aughts, I definitely recommend checking this one out. 

(Think the lavishness of Moulin Rouge! with the atmosphere of Knife + Heart—minus the horror—with a dash of But I’m a Cheerleader thrown in for good measure) 

Just don’t blame me when “Pas Touche!” is stuck in your head for the next 3-5 business days. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Late Night with the Devil into the ol’ VCR. 

If you’ve somehow missed me talking about it, we’re officially in Halfway to Halloween season. 

That means I’ve been rewatching a TON of horror movies and revisiting some of my Shudder faves, including Late Night with the Devil. 

In my opinion, this movie gets better with every watch because there are just too many details to catch in a single viewing. 

That’s why we’re here today, my friends. 

I had a little time last weekend, so I popped it on, and y’all, I noticed some things we need to chat about. 

For example, the Cavendish group’s logo is a handshake to allude to the “secret handshakes” and/or the Faustian deal Jack (David Dastmalchian) made. It even matches the shake between Lily (Ingrid Torelli) and Jack in Lily’s entrance, color-wise. 

And one of the relics we see in the video about the Abraxas cult is the same owl from the show’s bumpers, connecting them to Night Owls. 

And the mention of Berwyn, Illinois, is a subtle nod to Svengoolie. 

To give you the best analysis (and indulge my flair for the dramatic), I’m going to break this piece down into four theories and then reveal which one I subscribe to. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions. 

Without further ado, let’s dive in. 

Theory 1: We’re in Jack’s personal hell 

While this movie is introduced as a documentary-style film, we can’t necessarily take this at face value. Everything we see is presented from a television screen, representing the confines of Jack’s personal hell. 

In Jack’s case, he made a deal with the devil for fame, so he’s forced to relive the last night of his show for eternity. The only scenes we see in color are when the camera is rolling. It can be interpreted that these scenes are the ones Jack is stuck reliving, while those in black and white represent true memories/recollections. That’s why we don’t see him kill Lilly on camera—instead, we see him kill “Madeline” (Georgina Haig) because the scenes in color are an altered version of reality. 

We’re already aware that Madeline’s spirit is manipulating electronics throughout the show, so is it far-fetched to think that we’ve become an audience to Jack’s torment in Hell?

Theory 2: We’re watching the real events of Night Owls unfold 

This theory speaks for itself. If we take the movie at face value, we’re watching everything unfold exactly as it did on Halloween night. Madeline manipulated the footage, Lily’s inner demon killed multiple people, etc… This is simply real footage from an ill-fated late-night special gone awry. All of these supernatural events aren’t symbolic, and we can believe that a myriad of unexplainable events managed to align. That’s it. 

Theory 3: We were “hypnotized” throughout the entire show, and there’s no supernatural element 

I think this is a really fun angle to take because it begs the question: what if nothing we saw was real? It’s clear that Carmichael Haig (Ian Bliss) is skilled at audience manipulation and hypnosis, as is apparent from the worm scene. He also mentions it’s “good to know” that “[we’re] an impressionable lot,” so what if he’s been subtly manipulating us this entire time? 

We know that the only person who seems not to be impacted by his hypnosis is Lilly, as she asks why Gus (Rhys Auteri) is “acting so silly” during the worm scene, as well as a couple of audience members who allegedly raised their hands when Jack asked who hadn’t seen Gus’s worm fiasco. Lilly isn’t present for the first half of the show, and we get a glimpse into Jack’s psyche at the end, so it’s plausible that all of the unexplainable occurrences we see are part of Carmichael’s hypnosis. 

Theory 4: We’re witnessing Jack’s breakdown 

It may come as a surprise, but I think this is the darkest theory I’m presenting. After the death of Madeline and with his ratings in freefall, Jack is starting to crack under the pressure. Although the Halloween special sends ratings skyrocketing, he still can’t get passed the death of his wife and finally cracks after Carmichael’s hypnosis, sending him into a murderous rampage. Madeline isn’t present at all, but rather a manifestation of Jack’s guilt. That’s why his last words in the film are, “Dreamer, here. Awake.”

Where do I stand?

I feel like if you know me at all, it’s probably clear where I stand—I think we’re witnessing Jack’s personal hell. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice Mr. Wriggles’s shares a voice with the narrator from the beginning of the movie. Additionally, whenever Lilly is possessed, she talks about how the worms have gotten to Madeline, and what happens to Gus later on? He’s “consumed” by worms. 

This is also further confirmed by the way Jack continuously breaks the fourth wall towards the end of the film and why Lilly asks which camera she should be looking into when the cameras are off. 

But how did we get here? Let me lay out my theory in full: 

The Grove and the cult Lilly was rescued from worship the same entity and/or are just two factions of the same group. The suspicious audience member we see in the skeleton costume throughout the movie is a member of the cult who was there to make sure their plan was carried out. 

Jack made a deal with Abraxas to become the next big name in late-night, unknowingly sacrificing Madeline for fame in the process. He then made a hasty return to late night because he knew he would be successful. 

June’s (Laura Gordon) book about Lilly didn’t come across his book by accident; someone made sure it got to him so that Lilly and June would be on the show, ensuring his debt was paid in full. 

As punishment, Jack is forced to relive that fateful Halloween night in perpetuity. 

However, I don’t think the cult counted on Madeline’s presence also being…present, and I think that’s why Gus, Carmichael, and Christou (Fayssal Bazzi) also die. 

The only person “meant” to die, in my opinion, was Lilly, as Jack killed her with the ceremonial dagger June brought to the set. 

There’s also a case to be made that Abraxas presents himself as Madeline to drive Jack mad…but I don’t necessarily think that’s the case. As we see towards the end of the film, Madeline figured out what Jack did, and I lean more to a vengeful spirit than Abaraxas manifesting as Madeline. 

So there you have it, folks. 

I’ve once again overthought a movie into oblivion and had a hell of a time doing it. 

Only one question remains: how do you get unsightly black bile stains out of velvet blazers?

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a celebration for our 500th blog into the ol’ VCR.

I’ve been so busy recently that I just realized we hit our 500th blog post a few days ago.

Here’s to 500 pieces on the B Movies Blog and to the next 500. 🖤

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping 20 of my favorite scenes in horror history into the ol’ VCR.

In 2020, I contributed to a friend’s YouTube video about the best scenes/jump scares in horror history (I tried to find the video but couldn’t).

That’s why I’ve carefully selected 20 of my favorite scenes in horror history to share with you today. 

I’m not necessarily saying that all of these are the best scenes in horror history, but to me, they’re iconic.
