Holiday Streaming- 'Scarlet Cinema' (Friday the 13th- The Series)

 This one wasn't exactly easy to find- copyright issues with Friday the 13th aren't new- but I do this for you all.

I'm so lucky.

This time, let's look at an Episode with a Werewolf, since it's a Full Moon too.

This is the Episode called...

A young man is a bit obsessed with The Wolf Man.  

He does know they made like 4 Sequels right?  You can watch more than one Film.

He's being bullied by a fellow Film Student who...wait, a Film Student Bully?  How low is that on the Bully Spectrum?

Anyhow, he steals a Camera from a friend of the guy who owns the Store key to the Plot of this Show.

How did he get it?  No telling.

He discovers that playing back the Film makes The Wolf Man appear and kill the guy on it (the Pawn Show Owner).

He sees a message on the Film that says he will get a wish if he kills 3 people.

He escalates his killings to take out the Bully- of course- and then Ryan, since he lurks around suspiciously.

His Professor is next, after he submits his...magic, I think, footage of the Bully being killed.

They show footage from The Wolf Man throughout- is this one reason that the Show is not Streaming?- but he eventually gets turned into a Werewolf all his own via, um, Magic Lon Chaney Jr...I guess.

Of course, he gets choked out by the Film- coated with silver nitrate- and is stopped all the same.

A pretty fun, if oddly-structured Episode.  Our Heroes are pretty separated from the whole thing.  They try to make it important by having them battle the creature/kid at the end.

The crux of the Show is that they are looking for the haunted/evil objects...but it just happens to be at a Pawn Shop that the guy's friend owns.  Did they ever check?  You should really call your friends, Lewis!

The whole concept is stretched a bit far- the guy has to love The Wolf Man and have a Bully AND steal the Camera AND shoot footage of the Owner for no reason for this to happen- but it all comes together.  I guess a Werewolf-specific artifact would be too silly.

We can't have anything silly on this Show which featured bees that steal people's youth, could we?  What do you think, Billy Drago?

Let's see if I can cover that one next Friday the 13th.  That'll be...a while from now.
