“Hey Amityville House, what’s your favorite contemporary horror film?”
“GET OUT!”
Underrated comment
Not underrated anymore 😂👍
I got 5 on Us.
Us will be hard to beat for Most Hilarious Movie Of 2019.
That is such a great joke oh my god
Yup, you win.
"I'm going to 70's out into the hallway." I'm going to use that from now on.
The apostrophe goes before the 7, not after the 0.
@@JanetStarChild Alternatively, you don't actually have to use an apostrophe sign to define an era in alphanumeric fashion.
@@enlightenednormie242
That is correct, and people are better off omitting the apostrophe if they don't know where it's correctly placed, as I've seen people make the mistake far too often.
Seems to be one of those things where virtually everyone does it without being aware that they've been doing it wrong the whole time; just merely copying everyone else.
JanetFunkYeah You just capitalized the word “just” incorrectly; semi-colons don’t count as their own sentence, & therefore, shouldn’t start with a letter that’s uppercase. I can be pedantic about grammar on CZcams too.
@@christopherlowery3797
Fortunately, I can humbly accept a correction and make the adjustments accordingly, unlike most people; so I thank you.
Okay, who else loves Snob’s dog voice? Cause it’s adorable!
It is cute. Southern charm.
Yo, Margot, you have to go back to being half a twin (Domonique and Danielle Breton) in Sisters. At least in that Flic, you were divorced from an over-protective man who who go on to portray the songwriter you'd think LEAST likely to kill an evil record producer (but he did anyway). 😊
"I knew I smelled shenanigans' would make a great T-shirt.
Rest in Peace, Margot Kidder.
She was great. I just watched her opposite Peter O'Toole in 'Pygmalion' and she was a fantastic cockney.
“The house isn’t Catholic - it’s Methodist.”
Lol!!! Dead now.
That was *definitely* one of your better zingers, Cinema Snob!
Eddie Murphy: "I really love it, this is very nice!"
_GET OUT!_
Eddie Murphy: "Too bad we can't stay, baby!"
@John The King Robinson WTF is with the attitude bro!
@@enlightenednormie242
Meh. It's just a troll.
Don't take it serious.
Lmao. I remember that line too. Eddie was too funny in delirious.
John The King Robinson I’d venture a guess that the person insulting random commenters on CZcams videos, unprovoked, is the one with no friends.
@@christopherlowery3797 he's lacking social skills, seems to believe that he's smart and he gets something of joy from insulting random people on the inet......sounds like if John is ever with a woman, he'll be headed to prison for rape
The real house isn't isolated from other houses in the middle of a field, it's on a suburban street with neighbors so close on either side, you could spit on them. Also, the basement isn't a creepy dungeon like thing, it's a finished basement, that had rec room during the Lutz/Defeo era.
So sad that they changed the appearance of the home; guess it got too much weird attention. Shame though; such a piece of film history.
It's a movie
I imagine they did it because it would be a lot more time, effort and money to build more house exteriors
And go figure nobody else that's lived their has claimed any BS about ghost. Huh.
@@danielvandersall6756They didn't. Not in real life if that's what you mean. They changed it for the movie. The real house still exist and looks basically the same on the outside as it did back when the murders happened. And go figure none of the owners after the Lutses (not sure how they spell it) have had a problem living there, what a shock.
Speaking of Josh Brolin, who would've thought the Marvel Universe's greatest threat was Brandon from the Goonies
Also, he helped Deadpool save the future.
Someone just tells Thanos his Oldboy remake was shit and he curls into a ball sobbing.
@@MrStath1986 Then he disintegrated.
"It's Brand, ma!"
Ciaran Statham Oldboy is NOT a good date movie. Learned that the hard way
3:50 Our realtor told us that the former owner died, then quickly followed that up with "but not in the house." I made sure she was aware of how disappointed I was. Murder houses are insta-buys in my book!
I once got the most bizarre look from an estate agent as a teenager; when my mum was selling her house, I asked whether we mention that the Suffolk Strangler lived down the street or not? I mean, talk about a unique selling point. As soon as mum said ignore my son he's a bit morbid, she just carried on like I didn't say anything.
My childhood home was only 2 streets away from where the golden state killer cop lived
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go seventies out in the hallway..." LMFAO.
I highly recommend watching "My Amityville Horror" it is about the actual kid who grew up in the house and how his father's mental illness effected the family.
His father wasn't mentally ill, you're thinking of DeFeo
I saw it...man, that family was messed up!
Wasn't good
Oh Snob you know it was the lamp all along!
... it all comes back to a lamp review from Linkara. It pays to see ALL the snobverse storylines for the overarching plot!
Brad reviewing a film I've actually seen? I knew Year 11 Film studies would pay off.
What? Are you telling me you haven't seen such classic movies as Fun in Balloon Land and Ms Velmas Most Incredibly Magnificent Christmas Week?
Lets not forget the most bestest movie that should have as many sequels as Land Before Time.
The Oogieloves.
@@randalgraves6979 That and The Buttercream Gang too.
Both of them?
@@randalgraves6979 Yes? Lol.
So... this means beginning of "the marathon of more than 20 sequels"?
Gotta get through the other 60 Hellraiser sequels first
Cinema Snob is my favorite anime.
The manga was better though.
Brad's voice is my waifu.
@@vistea1 TO BE FAIR, you can enjoy the manga but the Light Novels are far more cohesive and gives you a more refined idea of the authors true intention for the series.
More hardcore than most modern anime.
I prefer the dub over the subtitled episodes. He has a nice voice over..
Phantasm or Puppet Master? Aw come on, why not both?!
Father O'Irish. Lmao
I'm dead. I now haunt the Amityville house.
The series didn't get entertaining until the house possessed a lamp, and when it tried to turn Ryan Reynolds into Jack Torrance.
Damn, that guy is super Josh Brolin's dad.
😂😂😂😂
He was supposed to replace Roger Moore as James Bond
And he's Mr. Barbra Streissand.
@@fhb3 You mean Captain Laser.
@@fhb3 Does she know he knocked up Phoebe?
Its Cinema Snob time and good luck getting to 160k Brad.
The true story. As in the story the Lutz family and the murderers lawyer came up with over several bottles of wine. Spooooooky.
Yep, I've read all about how they invented the entire thing. Lutz's business was going under and he likely found himself unable to keep making the payments on the house, so they cooked up this scheme about it being haunted by evil spirits. Which would explain the part about the brother-in-law's wedding money coming up missing. In the book it talked about that, and later it said that some of the money showed up, but not all of it. I'm guessing George Lutz stole it all, felt guilty about taking it all after the groom was panicking, and put some of it back later.
James Brolin... The Original Thanos. I like it.
New Yorker here. Even in the 70's, for that amount of property on the south shore for that price, hell, an ACTIVE murderer could be living there and you'd still have a stack of offers piled to the sky.
Amityville is on the South Shore.
@@johnmulvey6642 Ha! Oops. Thanks
Still. Come on. Water view and a dock?!? You'd be in a bidding war with Billy Joel.
@@rubberlover666 Or Paul Simon. btw Amityville is the home of De La Soul, one of the best hip-hop groups ever.
@@johnmulvey6642 I strictly ride for Tribe from Queens! (yes it's all the same land mass! Shut up!)
As someone who lives minutes from amityville, I’m so.....goddamn sick of this campfire ghost story. The lutz’s shat on the memory of the defeo kids and has glorified Ron jr (an obvious psychopath) by capitalizing on a tragedy. Trust me, the house has only ever been haunted by tourists. My friend babysat the kids of subsequent owners and has testified that nothing weird happens there.
The current owners had the windows changed, and the town changed the streets address to keep away the tourist.
And funny how nobody else who ever lived there had any problems with paranormal activity...
Lloyd approved. And my kitty Qui Gon approved as well. Rest In Peace Qui Gon. I love and miss you.
Ah yes, the story about a house that had nothing wrong with it and started the careers of two now dead professional con artists
Are you referring to the Lutzes or the Warrens?
Yes
You're too cynical. The look of the house and events that took place are iconic, and it's awesome that it has the tagline "based on a true story." The families left an impact on pop culture and served a purpose. I mean, you know Santa Claus isn't real, so do you get mad at Christmas time and try to break the spirit of little kids?
@@tommyhatcher3399 I get what you mean about just enjoying a horror movie and agree about that. And any horror movie with the "based on a true story" should be taken with a grain of salt. Not like their is any legal requirement to claim that like the Blair Witch movie's whole gimmick, and I love that movie BTW. Despite knowing NONE of it is real I can still really get into it and creped out. But it doesn't change the fact the Lutzes were completely full of shit, no surprise. They were going bankrupt at the time they "fled" the house BTW, gee wonder why they would do that at the same time they didn't have the money to keep making payments on it. Gee wonder why no one that's lived their since has had a problem with the place. Guess because ghosts aren't real. Shocking. It's actually a really really nice house. Doesn't look the least bit creepy. Honestly in its current form its not even recognizable as "the Amityville house". Last time it was on the market it was going for $850,000.
@@sean8102 It’s not recognizable because the owners altered the outside of the house and even the physical location of the house to try to prevent the curiosity seekers and movie fans from taking flash photos and “souvenirs”. I live on Long Island and can confirm all of this.
Here’s to hoping that Brad reviews Phantasm (and all the sequels) cuz I’d love to see his take on Phantasm Ravager.
Seriously, if they make yet another "A Dog's Purpose" or "A Dog's Journey" or whatever that crap series is, and they will, they really should give you a call. I'd love to see a movie narrated entirely with that new dog voice of yours. Especially if it keeps talking about plates of poop.
Diane Franklin from Amityville II. One of my biggest celeb crushes when I was a kid.
@Blue Plant Man Yep! Wasn't afraid to show her boobies either!
When I first heard of Amityville horror I immediately assumed that Jaws was part of the canon, but then I realized that Amity Island and Amityville were two separate places. However it's rather strange both have similar names and fall under New York State.
Yeah. And the skeptical priest in this one was in jaws 1 and 2. I agree it’s weird. Both are set in long island
The Concept art for the opening credits is scary, and I love it. It reminds me of, a survival horror video game.
Brad: "Then they bang!-"
Me: "HE SAID THE THING HE SAYS!!! *claps with childlike glee*"
Brad: "-Hard and Hairy!"
Me: "...........HE RUINED A CLASSIC! *grumpy pout* I don't like change ¬_¬"
He's fine....
That’s a sentence i just said!!!
I used to have neighbors with the same name.
It’s bad enough that they lived in a house full of spirits; when they moved to Texas, their next house had troublesome living people.
This made my day better, this movie has always been a guilty pleasure. Though say what you will about it but the scene where he tears down the wall and has the ghost stare at him still creeps me out.
The realtor wants them to buy the house and save the clocktower
Mike Yostpille Thank you! I knew I wasn’t crazy.
Wait, the flies shrilly screaming "GEeEeT OoOuUuT!" like the chorus of animals in Ms. Velma's Christmas in America was actually in the movie?
Yup. Synthesized voices weren't all that good then. ;-)
Now we wait until Brad too must contend with that dastardly lamp
This movie is good but Margot Kidder makes it great! Both in terms of acting & being HOT AF!!! She looked damned good in that Catholic schoolgirl outfit
Jackson Roze Reviews not a shrivelled up alkie
The realtor also being the lady collecting money to preserve the clock tower in Back to the Future. I always found her and Principal Strickland being in this film very strange lol
“He’ll be fine” had me rolling.
THANK YOU for pointing out that it's (basically) the same music from Pet Sematary!!! NO one else ever seems to notice that, while it was immediately obvious to me.
Your amazing , thanks for this one . Haven't seen it years and forgot how entertaining this film is.
Great haunted house flick, pretty much inspired James Wans career. By all accounts everyone who has lived in the house since has reported nothing unsual or paranormal.
Because the Lutz's and DeFeo's lawyer invented the whole story.
Classic film, not among my all time favorites, but definitely among the broader list of my favorites. Really enjoyed the novel as well.
Thanks for making my day another upload from you.
the only thing I have left on my mind right now is "how fast can we make 'power husband' and 'hard dad' into their own respective memes"?
I only got to see the commercials for this, but they still creeped me out.
I saw this movie when I was 10 when AMC did their all-month Horror Movie Marathon for Halloween.
Is it just me, or does young James Brolin look like Christian Bale
I often thought the same thing.
I remember reading somewhere that when the murders are in the house took place, the gunshots didn’t wake anyone which I find odd, wouldn’t a rifle discharges in your own home when she wake you up? Even if you were heavy sleeper?
1:25 Hey now, taking liberties with horror films and "true" stories isn't only bad when new movies do it... It's bad that new movies STILL to do it knowing their audiences want a more straight forward version of a story.
I get that telling a true story note for factual note would be boring in most cases, but you would think with today's endless technology, it wouldn't be impossible to tell an intriguing true story without having to straight up lie, like most do.
Then there's stories like Titanic where you can do whatever you want as long as the tragedy happens. Even if you end the story right when they hit the iceberg, you KNOW what follows is horrible. Hell, I don't care if it's about a striving circus clown in training who longs to walk again, or cartoon mice or whatever. As long as that ship is going down, the impact from the factual part of the story will hit you a little bit
Even if they suddenly have enough lifeboats for everyone and no one perma-dies?
@@whichcache2517 touche!
I suppose Hitler-Superman could also fly in and save everybody one by one without discrimination before the ship even starts to sink. No suspense, no drama, just good ol' fashion historical and cinematic butchery.
4Legacy You think only what followed the Titanic hitting the iceberg was horrible in that movie? Apparently you forgot the 3 hours preceding that entirely. I wish I had that bad a memory.
@@joelbaldwin4051 Lmao, the point is (for better or worse), you can tell whatever story you want around a factual event, and people will still feel the impact when you show the event. I guess the best example I can give, other than cartoon mice, would be Pearl Harbor. Total dog shit story that has 0% to do with the event. Yet, look at the reviews when it came out. "Fantastic!" "A Masterpiece!"
Why?
Well, I will personally crowd fund and film Pearl Harbor II: The Revenge if someone can prove it was because of Ben Affleck's love triangle
4Legacy Yes, absolutely. I completely agree. With movies like Titanic and Pearl Harbor, if they were going to make them at all, historical accuracy would've been nice. One major mistake, regarding Pearl Harbor, was having Michael Bay direct. Roger Ebert wrote a hilarious review of that film in which he called it "a movie about a love triangle set against the backdrop of the bombing of Pearl Harbor" which is a completely accurate description.
This is the only way I can watch a horror movie if Snob reviewed it.
You mean, "If Snob is reviewing it".
The Lutz family were workshopping ideas about how to monetize their month-long stay in Amityville:
"Can't we just write a book about how the bank was about to foreclose on us, since an out-of-work contractor and a stay-at-home mom couldn't possibly afford the mortgage on a house worth close to $150,000 in 1976 dollars ($1.2 million in 2020 dollars)?"
"Nah, we're gonna have to spice it up a bit with ghosts."
I'm surprised he hasn't been striked already by Toho for just mentioning Godzilla the way they've been.
@@wstine79
Yeah luckily I got to watch it a few months back, a channel was re uploading episodes that were taken down and that one was put on it. Luckily I got to watch it before Toho got to it.
The only thing scarier than Godzilla are Toho's lawyers - Joseph Barbera.
PLEASE tell me you'll be doing all the Amityville movies! Especially It's About Time and The Evil Escapes. Those were hilarious!
Father O'Irish😂😂😂😂. But all those ANOES jokes and you passed on the kid falling down the steps with the sweater. Idk whether that's good or bad
"Ghosts" is slang for "debt collectors"
also having black mould in a house can cause hauntings
9:45 a blood simple joke was so needed.
Despite having a lot of hokey and dated moments, it's still genuinely creepy. James Brolins' performance was great.
The Amityville Horror aka 28 Days Later.
Shenanigans, now with a woodsy oak scent. Easy to spot.
Would almost like to spoof the movie where the same shit happens but they cheerfully ignore it all the way through:..beds levitating? More fun than a trampoline! Black gunk in the toilets? They paint the whole bathroom black to match! Tons of flies, they fill the room with Venus flytraps, etc.
I so badly want to see Cinema Snob try to make a funny review on the original Godzilla.
"The god damn dog better live 20 years after this.." i laughed..hard!
I remember when I first saw this movie when I was maybe five or six years old. And always after that every time I seen that style of house always thought the windows at the top look like eyes. 👀👀👁️👁️
That's the effect they were going for... which is why they always lit the windows from the inside when taking exterior shots.
That scene with the eyes outside the window terrified me as a kid.
I've always liked this flick. Never really dug any of the sequels. Thanks for the review!
1. "I'm going to go seventies out in the hallway." 2. Father O'Irish 3. 'Bad Ronald' reference. It doesn't get any better than this!
18:01
RIP
Burt Young, co-star of the *"ROCKY"* films (1976-2006) and *"Amityville II: The Possession".*
I used to live across the street from a cemetery. It was fairly uneventful aside from the odd nights you could hear owls calling each other.
Oh HELL yeah. My favorite horror franchise
Needs more Lloyd. 8/10
What is Chloe? Chopped liver? 🤨
I love this movie. I'm a big fan of old horror that's minimalist but heavy on mood and atmosphere.
Me too!
Archive 81 is a good modern creep out show! (plus it's one 10 episode season and done)
A good old spooky flick is The Sentinel, from 1977 👍
That dog was a cat before they moved in. Fucking killed me haha
It's fun knowing that I live in the town they shot this movie in, I drive past the house 2-3 times a week and my uncle who works for the Fire Dept. helped with the rain effects for the film.
*"That's funny. Murray Hamilton doesn't usually play skeptical characters"* 😂 🦈🦈
Don Stroud as a priest! DEFINITELY not the usual kind of role for him back then.
We enter a new era of 'Stache Snob!
18:35 Well the NEW Godzilla is
Coming out right? Gotta watch that and then release it the day before the movie comes out.
And then you can watch Godzilla in the theaters the day its released.
Then do a comparison video between the 2 movies and give a final verdict.
That would be cool.
Hey, what did happen to Ronald McDonald statues outside McDonald’s? I remember they used to be pretty common but I don’t recall seeing them anymore
I prefer my haunted house movies to be in the toby hooper school. Playing catch with the family dog and whatnot.
Poltergeist is one of those ones that I watched once at about eleven and couldn't watch again; the clown puppet shit got me bad, and I could never watch the sequel knowing about the fucking tequila-worm sequence.
Yeah brad!! New series!!
Wouldn't it be scarier if the house said "COME IN" ?
Daily reminder that James Brolin played P.W. Herman in the movie within a movie in Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Best snarky line: it wasn't a ghost pig, it was a ghost chicken - Gary Larson style humour: he replaced gorillas with chickens for a "Chickens in the Mist" cartoon.
WTF is the scary happy nun supposed to be doing at 6:45?
Is that supposed to be vomiting?
12:07 Hootiti!!!!!!!!
does anyone remember Bad Dream House the Treehouse of Horror segment from the Simpsons which parodied this movie
Where the walls bleed and disintegrates ala Poltergeist. 🤔.
Maybe that was a result of Thanos’ snap 😏
doubt it @@randalgraves6979
How do you know 🤷🏻♂️
@@randalgraves6979 its a direct reference to it
They reference Poltergeist to
To me, this is kinda like The Shining without a psychic kid.
This movie was the original Monster house
Jerry here . . .
The SNOB IS MARRIED!?!?!?!
You forgot the most remembered line: Oh mother of God, I’m coming apart!”
"You're tearing me apart, Lisa!"
I'm gonna say that from now on: "I'm gonna go 70s out in the hallway for a while..." LOL
This is one of your best videos!
Clarke! Takes drag off cigarette, drinks fresh squeezed OJ
The cheers theme song playing at the bar scene killed me 😂😂😂😂. Your videos are awesome . much love ❤️
Fun Fact: This movie was filmed in my hometown in NJ. I drive by the water that’s in the background shots nearly every day.
I keep wondering...why the #%#$@!!! did Rod Steiger stand there and let the shards hit him in the eye?! He didn't even attempt to duck. Also, watch the scene where the little girl sends George back for the dog...watch her face. George, your kid just tried to kill you.
Mr. Snob I absolutely love your reviews. If I may be so bold as to request a review of certain 80's anthology horror film I'm hoping it would not fall in deaf ears...or blind eye's. Anyway; CREEPSHOW.
I'm with this 100%!!!! He should review Creepshow 2 too!
The only time Monday has been acceptable. Thanks Snob 😘
