I love the recent horror movie Sinister. And oddly, my TV service says it’s 3+ out of 4 stars, which is
really strange, as they generally hate
horror movies. But as Sinister has
such a home movie feel, and (let’s face it) it’s such a grim movie that gives
us no let-up whatsoever (Yea! Cheers! No comedy relief to ruin it!), I think it
would be extra fun to have the following song (and music video) play during the
end credits:
Yes, this is the 45 Grave song “Party Time” from the movie Return of the Living Dead, only this one
is the original song, and the original music video (which I’m guessing they
nixed for the movie: even a flesh-eating zombie movie doesn’t want to be
associated with child murder, so I assume they asked them to alter the lyrics
somewhat), and it’s so appropriate here, because this music video is showing a
crazy family with innocent children in home movies, whereas the movie Sinister has innocent families with children driven to kill them in
home movies. And it seems to me that this music video might be what it would be
like to see the kids seduced by Baghoul, the demon from this film, because as I
understand it, he makes their crimes seem like a game. (Plus this song &
video might snap people out of the spell cast by this movie {which is pretty
dark, you must admit}, but without completely breaking the spell altogether, because movies should be fun!)
Oh, and here’s the version from the movie Return of the Living Dead:
(Very different lyrics,
yes?)
