Thanks for checking out this movie review. So this is for the 1982 film Halloween 3 season of the witch which if you're watching this review and you have already seen the film You know that this is the one movie in the Halloween franchise That has nothing to do with Michael Myers and there's kind of some backstory on that and actually if you're watching this You probably even know that I'll go over it briefly for people who may not know that information But you know I do want to say why am I doing this video? Eventually I was gonna get to this film it probably was gonna be further down the line for me But I'm doing it now because there were a lot of people who really wanted Joe Bob Briggs on his most recent His Halloween special or as he called it is the Halloween hoot nanny on Shutter really really wanted him to do Halloween 3 season of the witch People apparently have been asking him to do it for quite some time and he won't do it I don't know if it's because he's saving it for another time, but it kind of seems to me like he hates the movie I can't really blame him for this movie Honestly, you have to be a person who finds enjoyment in movies that are kind of crappy, but like fun crappy So I am that person so I enjoy this film for that reason, but at the same time I feel like Joe Bob enjoys a lot of crappy fun films too. So it's you know, I don't know So anyway, this is my kind of humble offering to the masses out there who were let down by not getting Halloween 3 Reviewed or the get the Joe Bob treatment So I can't give the Joe Bob treatment obviously, but I'm gonna do my best to just break down this film Give you my thoughts on it and do a good review and hopefully people enjoy it. So there you go All right, so like I said from 1982 Halloween 3 season of the witch Real quick if you have not already seen this film and you want to go back and watch it then come back to this Because spoilers all spoilers So this was written and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace who also wrote amityville 2 the possession And he wrote and directed Fright Night part 2. So that's where he's coming from Although I'll talk a little bit. He wrote it. He has the writing credit, but I'll talk a little bit about that later It's he didn't actually write the whole script Slash story so John Carpenter and Debra Hill were back as producers for this. They were producers for Oh wait, were they both producing the first two? I don't know if they were but they were both involved with the first two movies So they came back for this one and they basically said they were asked. Hey, would you come back and produce a Halloween 3 and they said Only if Michael Myers isn't involved, which you know, I can understand if you're a filmmaker You want to do different things, you know, you have creative ideas If you're being asked for the same thing over and over and over again, that gets kind of boring So if you have the opportunity to kind of advocate and say, hey, can I do something different? Can I do something more creative and fun? Let's do that So the Hill and Carpenter basically said we will do a Halloween 3 if we can make it something different So the whole idea is John Carpenter really liked the idea of turning the Halloween franchise into more of an anthology series in a sense and then from three on kind of making it a situation where each of the movies would take place around and on Halloween and Would be a self-contained story not having to do with Michael Myers. So obviously that didn't go over well because Season of the Witch did not do well all that well. It greatly underperformed for what was expected but also People were you know in reviews people were pretty upset about it a lot of a lot of people just calling out Where's Michael Myers? So they went back. Obviously we all know the rest of the franchise. It's all Michael Myers So it didn't really work out, but I would say this obviously there's been a resurgence. It's become a very cult Film at this point. So I think it's kind of time I mean John Carpenter recently said that he'd be interested in directing another movie. I would hope it would be horror I kind of feel like it's time. Maybe this is the time for John Carpenter to go back and say It's not necessarily going to be called Halloween But let's do our own Halloween related anthology series of movies now Let's get it kick started and he doesn't have to do the whole thing You can just do the first one and then set other people up to you know Do some installments, but I feel like people are way more open to it now There's been a bunch of anthology things over time, you know, people are very excited about the shutter creep show series right now It seems like it's more of the time and plus the resurgence of you know season of the witch So not to be confused with the George A. Romero season in the witch movie very different Okay, so even though it was called a diss disappointment Listen to this the budget for it was 2.5 million in the box office. It made 14.4 million So it didn't lose money It just underperformed for what the studio was thinking it should do and that would be in comparison to Halloween's one and two There were they were probably not expecting the same return from those two movies since it's you know the second sequel But they were expecting much more. So it wasn't a flop The idea was to make okay. I already talked about the anthology. Sorry about that Familiar foods Which was an old milk bottling plant was actually the setting for the shamrock Silver shamrock factory, which I have to say in this film. It looks run down and crappy like in the film I feel like That kind of adds to it's appeal in in my Estimation at least for me personally it kind of adds to the appeal You would think that when when a film like this is being made and it's supposed to be like a current company that they were trying Find a facility that looks like it's you know like not necessarily state of the art But not looking super old and kind of run down which this does in like a dying town but I think it kind of works with the whole kind of being a little campy kind of be a little crappy I don't know it kind of adds to the The charisma or the charm of it. I want to say I would say charisma the charm of it So let's talk about the the script situation So the person who originally wrote the script for it was a guy named Nigel Neil KNE a le He had done the films quarter mass the quarter mass films and John Carpenter was a big fan of what he did with those So he was like hey, would you rate the script for this? So he submitted it and it was kind of more of like a sci-fi Which there is still sci-fi to it obviously it is described as a sci-fi horror film So the studio was like we want more violence and gore because that's what Halloween is we need more of that So there were some things that were definitely gonna be changed with it. So Neil said take my name off of the script I don't want to be associated with it. It's not mine anymore because you're making these changes So based off that the script was untaken given the Tommy Lee Wallace and said fix it You know fix it per what the studio thought fixing meant So he made his changes to it and it became his script then although a lot of the stuff was actually Kept from the original apparently. I don't know exactly what but John Carpenter and Alan Howarth did the soundtrack for this and I do have to say the soundtrack Okay, John Carpenter is in a is kind of in a musical genius a lot of his music is very well done I think in Halloween 3 it's kind of John Carpenter dial up to 11 it's kind of overboard in my opinion and there's some really shrill noises that happen and they happen repeatedly and It just gets annoying and you're just kind of like kind of got to plug my ears Is this gonna stop anytime soon? So it's just it's over it's over the top a lot of the music is over the top not all of it But a lot of it is so this was John Carpenter dialed up to 11 But you know it kind of goes along with the ridiculousness of the film Although I do have to say the Silver Shamrock song That That is well done, especially because people can't seem to get it out of their heads My wife included who watched this movie with me and she started singing it after the movie was done She kept repeating it. I was like that's not me.  She's like that song It just embeds in your head, which is I think is the point that's kind of the genius of how that song was created is I think it was created to be familiar because it it's to the theme the the tune of London Bridges falling down and Yeah, so it's already familiar to people the fact that they repeat it so many times throughout the film and it is just catchy in general and It's simplistic. That's the other thing so it's easy to remember It really like as an audience member just embeds itself in your head and you just find yourself after the movie just going around and Singing it or if not out loud then just it's going around in your head Which is great because that's what's happening in the film So it's kind of genius that that was the way the the the song went because it's doing to the audience What it's doing to people in the actual movie Which is grabbing their attention and keeping their interest and that kind of speaks more to you know What I'll kind of talk about in the end, which is the themes of kind of like Consumerism and you know playing directly to kids, which was a big thing in the 80s But I'll talk about that a little bit more later So the masks for this were actually made by post a company called post studios and they were contracted to do it and then they made a bunch of Masks as merchandise that were to sell for $25 so back in 1982 like $25 obviously was a little bit more So yeah pretty decent cost for those masks. I guess they assumed that it would be kind of kind of Popular. I don't know I I would be interested to know if there's any information out there on you know sales of those masks I wasn't able to find any easily, but I'd be interested to know so for the people who are real big nerds with this film There was a novelization of it. So you might want to go check that for that This the script was taken and it was turned into a novel It also in 1982 by Dennis Etchison who actually wrote it under the surname of Jack Martin One of the big changes apparently is that it alludes to the fact that Cochran in the end doesn't actually get killed By the piece of Stonehenge, but that he actually is like Teleported somewhere to some other location. So he's still alive somewhere. So that's a big difference. Sorry spoiler for the book But it's old whatever That's all just spoilers The music already wrote the music about it getting annoying the acting is not so great in this film, but That's part of the charm of the 80s. We all can agree with that Tom Atkins is fun in his role a lot of fun in his role And I think that was it Dan O'Hurley. He's the guy who plays Cochran He was great for that role because he does such a good job of playing of like walking that line of being like kind of evil and Sinister but also just being like a really nice proper person And he just he walks that line very well in my opinion So he was cast extremely well Tom Atkins like I said, he's just fun everyone else kind of like their performances are Pretty subpar and doesn't really necessarily matter that they were in the film to be honest Atkins and O'Hurley are the main ones. I mean they have the most screen time anyway, so Make sense The fingers in the eyeballs kill. Let's talk about this very early on That thing is like Yeah, okay, so the fingers in the eyeballs kill it like it was weird It was super weird and you couldn't necessarily tell what was actually happening there because when the eye the fingers were going in I initially was like oh, he's poking.  It's just the coroner. I guess it's the coroner or forensic scientists is just kind of like Says that they it just like they destroyed the skull basically which we understand that like that was kind of an effortless thing because You know it was a robot, but you don't know that at the time It's just like this really weird move I've never seen anyone killed like that before so I guess it gets points for being very unique in my opinion Very very unique. I Love how the sheriff says that the murder was drug drug related most likely because it's so frickin absurd Like drug related. Okay, this dude in a suit with black gloves on comes in Messes up this guy's skull kills him and then walks out douses himself in gasoline and blows up a car Yeah, that screams drug related like the sheriff says this and there's like there's no evidence The other thing is when the sheriff's talking about this It's the next day and the car is still smoking and just sitting in the parking lot Like you think they would have worked on it, but they're just kind of like hanging out inside the hospital just like Yeah, what do you guys think about this? What do you guys you should be processing the crime scene? They're not so that's another thing. It's kind of weird The other thing is it's weird in the beginning how it'll it's like giving you dates Like it starts on a Saturday and then it goes to a Sunday and then it goes Wednesday Friday So like when it's doing Saturday Sunday like it makes sense because you're like, okay It's gonna track through each day until we get to Halloween Which makes sense with the whole commercial how it, you know It counts counts down as well But then you'd make the jump to Wednesday and you make the jump to Friday and there's not even much that goes on In some of those days So literally like when they made the jump from like Sunday to Wednesday then like Wednesday It's like I think it was just like Tom Atkins character just hanging out at the bar for a little bit He talks with someone and then it's just like Friday and you're just like why did we even stop at Wednesday at all? So it's just it's weird. It's weird. Like why would you even do it? I The movie Okay, I'm sorry this this kind of throws me off when I'm talking about it just because it's like The movies kind of all over the place if you've seen it, you know, the movie gets to trying to solve a mystery pretty fast There's all there's really not a whole lot of setup to the film It's immediately like this mystery of let's solve something, you know the guy in the very very beginning running away He's got the silver shamrock mask in his hand He's hiding from these dudes who we later find out a robot's trying to kill him And then the death happens and then we're investigating and then this dude who's an alcoholic doctor It's just like I'm gonna solve this case Apparently because he wants to bone the deceased's daughter because that becomes apparent at one point. It's just really funny But I like I like the like investigative mystery portion of it I really do I think that's the most fun because it's this kind of sense of adventure It's like where are we going? What's happening? And they they do let things unfold slowly in a good way So there, you know, there's there's some like legitimate good stuff about this film I and okay, I wrote down I love how hard they go on Dan time against character Dan I love how hard they go on his alcoholism like they reference the fact that he drinks hard numerous times and I even like the fact that it's like one day he's he makes a Call on a payphone to his wife and he's got a six pack of Miller sitting next to him on the other payphone And so he's obviously going to drink that well then same day later when he checks into the hotel Or the motel with ellie. He's just like oh man. God. I need a heart like I need a drink.  So hard like he's supposed to be the hero and it's like this guy's just the freaking drunk and then the other thing is Why is he not at the hospital doing his job? Who's covering for him? Are these his days off? I don't know. It seems like he just up and left the hospital It's so weird. Like there's so many gaps in this and you're just like, what about this and then what about this But it's fun. I mean, I kind of like that stuff where it's just like just because it's a good time So um going to the whole motel thing. So dan says time atkins character He he says that they were gonna get a couple of rooms Okay, he legitimately says let's get you know, let's stay let's get a couple of rooms And then he only gets one room And then not only that but ellie doesn't even like question it. She's just like, yeah, let's bone It just it goes from zero to 60 so fast in the bone In the bone lane that you're just like what is going on and it's so weird Like the way he moves in and kisses her immediately Like her dad just died not long ago and this was like the doctor And then she I don't know. Does death make her horny? I don't know. It's such a weird thing or maybe death makes him horny I don't know. She he's like bond in this like women just can't Because the other thing is like it's insinuated that he's been seeing The the person who's either the forensic psychologist or or the mortician or whatever um or the coroner I I mean It's insinuated that he's seeing hurry like gives her a kiss at one of the times after he sees her Just we're like this guy's all over. He's throwing. He's throwing his d right and left Or left and right, whatever Uh, the head ripping scene is pretty funny with the blood spurting all over the place And it's it's especially funny because at that point you don't know about The the robot aspect of the film.   I laughed at it. I like it. Um, the death by laser is also funny that whole thing. Um But the aftermath of it's really good like the actual practical effects of her face all screwed up is Really good. It looks really really awesome But the whole like laser like first of all lasers for movies this far back just don't hold up They don't look good on film and the fact that like a laser shoots out of this little Like button the silver shamrock logo button is so weird Um, it was just like it's really out of nowhere and you're just like what that what happened But like I said the after effects are great. Um, the mask making factory tour is cool Like that's a fun aspect of it when you go through and you see all the masks and kind of different stages of being made Uh, that's fun. I think that's a really cool thing and just like anytime when you're like Discovering or like exploring a new Location in a film in my opinion like something I'm not familiar with like a factory or something like that It's always very interesting. Like I legitimately will watch like Abandoned building exploration videos on youtube and stuff like I find that type of stuff fascinating So I really liked the mask factory tour for that reason Where do all the bugs and snakes come from this makes absolutely no sense. I don't understand how the Okay, so it's the button that has electronics in it that's turning the kid Into like this pile of snakes and bugs basically like it kills them and then snakes and bugs like come out of his head Um, so it's the button doing it that has electronics in it But the electronics have like pieces of the stonehenge stone Put in them like I don't even understand how this works And then even like what part is doing it I guess the electronics is needed to like harness the power of the stone And then that does it but then where do the bugs and snakes come from and why like I It's totally like a just cuz type thing. It's like here's something crazy. Here's something wacky just And at this point when that does happen like you've been through enough of the film where you you just go with it You're just like Yeah, and then that and then that and then that yes, and then obviously this gigantic snake comes right out of the Kid's head sure and then goes and bites and That's crazy Uh, I got you have got to love the impossible mask toss When Tom Atkins character is like tied up and then he finds finds a way to like partially get himself free And he has a mask gets the mask off his head the skull mask and then he like throws it to get it on the surveillance camera And it lands perfectly Totally unrealistic, but it's pretty funny Gotta love it Nobody would ever suspect or see a moving mask A moving rack of masks That's the other thing like when they're sneaking around in the main area where they have the big stonehenge stone After Tom gets loose Tom Atkins character gets loose and he gets ellie who's actually a robot at this point um When they're sneaking and they take a whole rack of these masks and they just like move it with them There were so many people and they were facing that direction Like they shot it so that those people are like looking down at computers But there is a thing called peripheral vision And I guess maybe they could explain it as robots don't really have that I don't know But people would have seen that and it was like it was really out in the open pretty much too like when they're Moving it's another one of those moments is really funny and this is like right after that impossible mask toss So it's perfect I like how Cochrane just hangs out and waits to die Like that's another that's another totally wacky thing is like he when he's like clapping I do like the moment of him like clapping because they say like he's big into like jokes and pranks and stuff like that So like the moment where he's like, ah, I've been had like he can appreciate that So he's like giving a clap to dan tom atkins character So I like that touch of the moment, but then at the same time he's just standing there waiting to die He's just standing there for a long time and then he gets killed and It's like he was waiting for it This is weird Oh dan's fight with ellie then like after they you know after he crashes the car and she's trying Because she's trying to kill him because it becomes apparent she's a robot That fight scene between the two of them goes on way too long. I was just like okay, we can Move this along please. Let's go and that speaks to another thing There are some scenes like that throughout the film where it just really They stretch it out for no reason Because this movie's runtime is a bit over an hour and a half and it really has no right to be that much time really Uh, it should be cut down to at least an hour and a half maybe a little bit less than that. I don't know Uh, there's a good concept here somewhere but the whole Like with the with the the sinister company and you know the chips implanted In the masks and the kids dying and the commercial like all that stuff Like those are good concepts. It's a good idea for a story, but the whole like stonehenge thing It's so weird. It's so out there. It's so dumb That that doesn't work. So the story like if you look at it as like is this a good film No, it's not a good film because it's ridiculous and I like I like how they kind of like Point that out a little bit at the scene where um, Cochran's kind of like Revealing his his evil plan to them and he's just like oh and this is this a stone from stonehenge You wouldn't believe how we got it here Yes, nobody would believe that you got it there not how but that you got it there So I kind of feel like you have to at that point if you want it to be like a legitimately good film you have to at that point Explain how that happened instead of just being like you wouldn't believe how it's like this is how lazy we are We're not even gonna tell you how this happened because we know it's totally implausible, but we just wanted to do it We just wanted to do it So yeah, so now i'm just going to talk about some of the overall themes Of the film. So obviously there's the theme about the dangers of children being controlled by products and marketing basically That that's very very overt It's very front and center with this film and I think it works really well You know because in the 80s that would that was the time where things really ramped up with commercials and with particularly marketing to children because there had been research and psychology done that companies were using that was saying that if you get kids at a very young age like These these marketing campaigns will basically ingrain themselves in their heads and you can end up getting a A customer for life. So that's what they were going for That's when commercials started becoming very juvenile and very much geared towards like cartoons and stuff like that And then even like taking cartoons and incorporating products into actual cartoons shows They did that as well. So I think for its time that stuff was really cool It's it was very pertinent at that point. So and it's kind of like anti-capitalistic in the in that sense, too because it's this kind of like Companies running rampants being allowed to do whatever they want. No one's keeping tabs on them And that's kind of what happens with capitalism is that companies are pretty much allowed to do whatever they want And people are just like, oh, you know, their whole business is to make money. So they're making money And this is kind of like this is what happens when that goes too far and nobody's there to See what's actually going on They're gonna take over the world. They're gonna kill everyone And it seems like as Cochrane says like kind of just for the hell of it just just because um Yeah, the like I talked about the repetition of the shamrock theme song is genius genius genius because of the audience feeling the way Getting indoctrinated with it the way that the characters in the film do love that aspect of this film Uh, and then like I was saying this is the time John Carpenter This is the time To do that anthology series. I think people would be very much open to it, especially if you start it up because People love John Carpenter, especially now do it. You're gold, man And the last thing I wanted to say is before I do my rating is that This would be a wonderful double feature to be paired with the stuff Now the stuff came out after this so they have a lot of similarities between the two And I wonder if the stuff was kind of influenced by Halloween three seasons of the witch I would be interested to know if that is If there is a connection there, but um, yeah that double feature I want to watch that double feature Halloween three and the stuff Be a really good night. Anyway, um, let me give you my star rating I'm going to do two different star ratings on this one So the first one is of the entire pantheon of films ever made How does this rank on a five star scale with half stars in play?  How do I rate it out of five stars? I'm going to give it a three and a half I give it a three and a half in that case. It is a good time. It is fun It is not a good movie, but it is a fun time And I will watch this more because but this is actually this is only the second time I watched it It has been a bunch of years since I watched this film. So it was fun to go back to it. They're there's some fun But uh, hopefully you guys enjoyed this review enough Put some comments down there. I want to hear your thoughts on Halloween 3 How do you feel there might be some people out there who are just like I legitimately think it's a great movie Not just like it's so dumb. It's fun And that's fine. I want to hear everyone's opinions on it and um Yeah, so The best you can do for me to pay me back on this one is just hit that subscribe. That's all I asked for for Because I don't make money on any of this. I'm just doing it for fun And hopefully this helped with the people who were let down about Halloween 3 not getting done by joe bob This is all I can do. This is all I have to offer you guys on this on this front So hopefully you enjoyed it, but hit that subscribe put some comments down there And thank you for checking out this video until next time. Keep it brutal


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this is for the 2020 release that's available on VOD That is video on demand for people who don't know. Sorry got to cover my basis. This is hawk and rev vampire slayers now I do take Emails from people from time to time who are doing very independent film This is one of those very independent films And so when I'm able to which I try and find the time to I like to do reviews for these very Underseen underrated films now I am a hundred percent honest and I let the people who are contacting me know that I'm 100% honest in my reviews So thankfully as as I've been doing this I haven't had any real stinkers and this still holds to that not a stinker at all I actually quite enjoyed this film and I would recommend that people rent it VOD or buy it VOD However, you want to do this But I have to give a shout-out to Clint Morris who is the one who contacted me for reviewing this film And I do need to issue an apology He contact me like two months before I'm doing this basically actually maybe even a bit after that and I Meant to get to it I will got busy and then I forgot about it and then finally I remembered. Oh, no, I needed to review that film I said I would and Glad I remembered because this was a lot of fun and like I said, I am I am Recommending this film. So let's go over this a little bit Hawk and Rev vampire slayers written and directed by Ryan Barton Grimley and he actually stars in it as well as Hawk He's done films such as the truth killer friend Lexus man Elijah's ashes and listened carefully now You can tell that he's done a decent amount of film before because it looks polished It looks very low budget and it feels very low budget But it also feels and looks very polished for being low budget So you can tell this guy's been doing this stuff. You can tell he knows what he's doing with this stuff And he's a good actor too. I'll talk a little bit more about the acting in a minute. So as far as Well, I won't have spoilers. So I'm gonna give you a very quick synopsis of this But there's really not much to say synopsis wise because the story is very basic It's nothing really all that new. It's very basic.  So yeah, that's basically it. Yes, there are some like minor twists kind of here and there and some kind of surprises but Pretty basic nothing brand new or anything But I would just say if you like horror comedy and you like ones that have a very good amount of comedy to them This film is definitely for you because there's a lot of comedy of this film I was very surprised at how consistent the comedy is in this and this is something I say a lot in my reviews Especially when I'm talking about any horror comedies or Horror films with comedy in them. It's hard to get the right mix of that stuff Because part of the problem is if you're trying too hard and your jokes aren't really landing Then it can be very painful to watch So you need to make sure that you're really putting in stuff that actually works and I think for the most part There was a lot of stuff That really worked in this film and even the stuff that like I didn't particularly find funny It didn't annoy me I didn't feel like they were really misses and there were Maybe three or four times where I actually laughed out loud Which is very hard to get me to do honestly because especially when I'm watching by myself So to me that speaks volumes They did a really good job with the comedy and like I said it is throughout the film like and it keeps it helps With the pacing to and it also helps with the fact that there's not a lot of actual story to it It's just very basic and nothing new so Bravo, you know You guys saw where your strength is and you focused on that comedy as a strength and that's what makes the film worth watching That's what makes it makes it worth rewatching too and it's a good flick. So The title font in the theme song in the beginning is beautifully 80s So not only is it beautiful beautifully 80s So it'll give people who love 80s nostalgia Give them that nostalgic feel And get them pumped up, but it also gives you the idea that it's not going to be serious Also, there's comedy like immediately. So you get the idea you get the tone for the film going forward You're just like, okay, they're not very serious about this. They're just trying to make a funny film And they did The intro portion lets you know this is going to be packed with comedy But also packed with some gore And this is one of the things that I personally really like especially in lower budget films And in comedies when you're doing actual gore like when blood spraying Do it too much, you know, just go overboard. I always find that to be really funny It's something I love I actually have worked on some independent films way in the past And that was one of the things I would always push for is when there's blood just go over the top Just make it ridiculously over the top because to me that's very funny And there's a good amount of that in this film And there's also a they kind of roll additional comedy into some of it as well, especially towards the end There's a part where there's a copious amount of blood kind of flying all over the place and they Play off of it quite well in my opinion Really good directing especially for a low budget film there are some very inspired shots and inspired camera movement. I was very Impressed with with the directing and the cinematography because a lot of the times with these lower budget films The directing and the cinematography is very basic But this is not you can tell that this person really knows what they're doing You can tell that they've done it before obviously and that they have great creative ideas to engage the audience with the camera So yeah, a lot of really interesting movements a lot of really interesting shots The other thing is there are a lot of kind of like quick cuts in the film that really I feel like help keep it moving and they also kind of like Maintain the energy of the film if that makes any sense It has a bit of a frantic pace to it and a frantic style, but it actually really really works with what it's going for Comedy aspect in particular Uh, ryan barton grimley and ari schneider do a nice job acting and they actually have really good chemistry together now Barton grimley, like I said, he's the writer director of the film He plays hawk. He did a really good job and ari schneider plays rev He also did a really nice job and like I said, they're they're chemistry together is really great You can see them as real characters. You can see them as actually friends All their interactions feel real for what's going on in the story. So They create good characters. They stay in those within the confines of those characters and there's awesome banter There's very funny dialogue. I'm a fan The music in this is actually integrated really well, too And and that's another aspect of it that keeps it moving keeps it feeling like it's never really stagnating And then it's staying very upbeat as well Thank you for properly lighting scenes for events taking place in the dark This is it's one of my pet peeves when things are taking place in the dark and you can't see what's going on Uh, they did a really good job in this where they usually set The the night events in areas where it would naturally naturally be lit with like street lights and stuff like that So that was a smart way to kind of actually get good lighting in there even though it's dark So kudos on that. I really appreciate that type of filmmaking because Nothing makes me more pissed off than when there are things happening in the dark and I can't see And there are plenty of films that do that. So thank you The story aspect is light like I said, but there are a few twists. There are a few twists There's one supposed to be kind of big twist in the end. You may or may not see it coming, but um, yeah I mean good enough and like I said, it's a comedy like there's so much good comedy in it that it just Honestly doesn't matter. I didn't really care about the story. It's that wasn't the point You certainly never get bored with the film That's a big thing and they kind of set up a potential for there to be a sequel and I am in for that If there is a sequel I'm down Clint if there's going to be a sequel to this go ahead and send me that screener I will do review of that because I'm in I think it's fun and it should also be fun Um, the other thing I want to say to wrap this up So I wanted to kind of compare this to the last time I watched a Horror comedy and even though I think that psycho goreman Overall, I would rate it a little bit more than hawk and rev vampire slayers I do think that I'd be more apt to rewatch Hawk and rev vampire slayers over psycho goreman just because the comedy is better in my opinion I do feel like psycho goreman the comedy got a little bit exhaustive Uh, and there's not as much rewatch value there in my opinion, although the practical effects are unbelievable And there's a lot of other cool stuff about that film The comedy is what sells this film They do such a good job with the writing you can tell the script had been revised numerous times That they tried as hard as they could while ryan barton gremly tried as hard as he could To make sure that the jokes were good that they were done consistently like it is jam packed with comedic stuff And it's impressive to me. I think the script is very tight and I like that So overall, I really enjoyed this film.  You need small filmmakers? And also these are people putting a lot of work out there and they're probably not getting a lot returns wise It's mainly for creativity and you know just getting it out there. So let's support it Um out of five stars with half stars in play. I'm gonna give it a very solid three and a half star rating Quite good. Uh, definitely enjoyed it. I'd love to hear other people's comments How did you feel about this film go ahead and put it down there in the comments And we could talk spoilers in the comments. That's fine. I'm good with that But do me a quick favor. Uh, hit that subscribe button if you are not already subscribed to me A lot of people watch my videos are not subscribed to me and you would really be helping me out if you would subscribe I would greatly appreciate that. Also, if you could hit the notification bell button That way you'll know whenever I'm putting up new videos like one of these videos or unboxings more in-depth analysis movie reviews all that jazz but Regardless, thank you for checking this video out and until next time. Keep it brutal


Okay, cool. So this was the missing piece, man, from from from successfully running Facebook ads for affiliate marketing. You have to get this hash list from the vendor. So you got that hash list. Great freaking job. They gave you a shitload of them. You got 5000 records on this one alone. And now what we're going to do with this is we're going to take it to Facebook, create a custom audience. And then we turn around and create a lookalike audience. And then when you start running ads, you start targeting your lookalike audience. That's it. So rather than targeting who you were targeting prior, you were probably targeting a country or you were targeting. And I'm not talking about the keywords I'm talking about the actual location. So I don't know if you were targeting the US or if you're targeting other countries or whatever. But but that was that was that was the mistake is that it's not it's not even. It's not even that it's this part right here that we need to be targeting. So, so now that we have a list, we want to make sure that it's downloaded to the computer which you did. So now let's go to Facebook. Let's go to the custom audience around around this list. So we're going to click on the three lines and make sure you're in the right account to that drop down my guy is at the account that we're working out of, or is it. Yeah, we got to be in one of these top ones. So, so remember in the future what you want to do is you want to go to business settings and you want to make sure that all the details are filled out in the business info. Let's go there real quick because that part super important. Hit the three lines on the top left and then go to business settings. So now, over here, you want to make sure you're in the right account which is the adonis one out that one right there. That's a good one. And then here, bottom bottom bottom left, you want to make sure you fill out the business info you don't got to do it now but make sure you eventually do this business. Yeah, fill out all the details over here address and phone number and website is put whatever your website is daily fruit.com if that's what you got. The legal name does not need to be a corporation it could just be daily fruit, you know the legal name that's fine, but the address the phone number. The tax ID not necessary you don't need to put the tax ID. So as long as you have a name address phone number and website and no one sees this is just internally for Facebook. Okay, this will help you keep this account longer. So as you can see in the group, everyone begin their Facebook account shut down and one huge parts because of this they don't ever put put the business info and they don't ever confirm their email at the bottom. So your email is already confirmed at the bottom. So you're good, you just got to fill out this part but you can do this part later if anything. Okay, let's create that list real quick but but for sure come back here. Yeah, watch scroll to the very very bottom to the right. Yeah, scroll down right here. So right here right here you got you got name and you got email. So you're verified you confirm the email so you're good right there that's a huge reason why a lot of accounts get shut down to is because that email was never verified. So yours is verified because if it was not verified it would say right there verify. So the fact that you're good. A couple times. Yeah, right so. So, really really important. So now let's click on the three lines at the top. And let's create this custom audience so let's go down to audiences. And so when it comes to, when it comes to a lookalike audience. You have to create the custom audience first, because that's what the lookalike audience is based off of. It's based off of this audience. Change again. You should see it down below keep going lower lower lower lower lower audiences. Okay and so for those of us that are for those of you that are actually joining us on YouTube because I'm putting this on on YouTube. For those of you that are that are following and you guys are into affiliate marketing. What a Don is what I had him do and what he kind of knew before but but he really didn't and that's why we're connecting again what he did is he reached out to the vendor so for those of you that are doing affiliate marketing. Reach out to the vendor of that product. Email them. So if you're on click bank if you're on JB zoo if you're on any of these affiliate network platforms. You're picking a product right adonis he's going in the health in the health space he has an awesome nutritional product health product that he's going to be marketing. But no matter what platform you're getting that product from that affiliate offer from you'll always see the vendors contact information. So what you absolutely have to do to succeed with Facebook ads and affiliate marketing is you absolutely have to reach out to that vendor and request a copy of a hashed customer list. And what that is it's a customer list it's literally their customer list. But what they do is they hash it, meaning they encrypt all of the information. So you can't see the name you can't see that the email, right, but that's what it is. They simply encrypt it which is quote unquote hashing it, and then they send you that. And that is the game changer. So with that hash list that's what we have right now. And that's what we're about to upload to Facebook because that hash list is what you is who you need to be targeting to really take your affiliate marketing to the next level. And this is with Facebook ads, obviously, marketing with other marketing methods but in this case with Facebook advertising Instagram advertising, you need that hash list, you need to be targeting that hashed look like audience list. So let's set it up here. So, here let's click that blue button and create create the audience. So, cuss, actually let's go custom audience custom audience. And then, over here, you're going to go customer list.  Okay cool and then here you could just put, does your list include a column for customer value you could put no, just put no, and then next. Okay cool and then you're going to upload the file right here. Okay awesome and then hit next. So now, so email perfect so that's what they sent you they sent you a hash list of everyone's email. And that's that's what we have here so that's fine so import and create the blue button. Okay cool your customer list is hashed and uploaded.  Now we take that custom audience and create a look like audience. Okay, so click that top one, create a look like audience. And then, and then that's the, it says right at the top, select your look alike, your look alike source, right so that's why it has to be a custom audience first, because that's the source.  So, here, select audience location. What you want to do is you want to create create different ones so so do one for for one country. And then, and do another one for for a different country. But yeah do one for for for us is a 2019. US US US go to our United States, United States. Okay, perfect. And then so now, now so now here, you're actually going to create, you're going to create, you're going to create three different ones. So right there where it says number of look like audiences click on that one, the drop down one, and then go down to three. So one one look alike in the United States based on this customer list will be zero to one percent. The second one is going to be is going to be one. So take that. So we have to just spread these dots out. So, so one is zero to one percent. Actually, you know what the way it looks right there that's fine. One is zero to one percent. The second is one to two. The third is two to three. Does that make sense. Yes. Okay, now click the blue and create audience. Yeah, there it is there. So now that that look alike.  And let's just do a basic basic setup right now real quick we don't we don't got to run it but let me show you where where you would now see that so click the three lines. We created the ads manager. So we created the the custom audience we created the look alike audience we created three different look alike audiences. Now, as you come over here, make sure you're in that right account so top dropdown that 89898 hit that dropdown the numbers, the top yeah click on that dropdown. More ad accounts always make sure you're working out of the right one so see more ad accounts. Yes. Okay, perfect. So, so that's, that's what you want to do you want to. And later on I'll take it through a whole Facebook training but but we want to change out that that that 898, like we can customize all that so just like you have the bottom one you have Mike guy Mike guy. Yes, top you have a Donis and then you have 898, like we can customize that but we'll do that later. But so this is the account this is the right one that you'll be running out of so now click the green button.  And then, and then continue. And then over here, you're going to go, you don't need special ad categories, because if you click that the categories hit the dropdown. This is for for people that are running affiliate offers for credit employment housing or social issues so if you're just doesn't apply to any that then you don't need that. But if it does, then you need that because if if you go through and set up a whole damn ad, and your ad has to do with credit you're doing affiliate offers for credit cards for example, and you didn't do this part you the ad will get rejected. Okay, so depending on what industry you're in. Yeah, you'll see it there and it's only these four. So you're not in any of those so no need to do that so click out. And now you'll just go straight down to next. And so now as we come to the second step, the ad set level, you'll scroll down. And now you have these custom audiences. So scroll down your pixel. Yeah, your pixels need to be installed on the cartridge pages which will do will do will do for sure but keep going.  So now I can, I can simply go down a custom audience right there. Click inside the custom audience right there at the bottom custom audience down. Click inside that box. Now. No, no, no inside the box search existing audiences down. Custom audiences, right there, no right there, search, right there search existing audiences. I can click on look alike audiences I can find my look alike audiences. And that's who I'm targeting. So click on look alike audiences right in the middle look alike. Yeah, click on that. And there are my look alike audiences. So, so you have these other ones man did you, the boat, the bio talks, did you. So you knew what you were doing already then. This was one of the steps that I use and commissioned the hero but I really never seen this part before running ads. Gotcha. Okay, gotcha. So now, so now you got you got these three different, the top ones, right that the T burn. We got we got these three. And so now it comes down to the golden click on one of them. So now it comes down to just simply testing one ad, I would set up where I put all three in right here right now. Another ad that I would set up would only have one. Maybe I'll do three different ads and do one at a time so right here I could put all three of them in right here. And then I'll set up another ad and I'll do one at a time. Right. Yes. And that's a form of testing. So, so here watch put all three for the for just the example here, put all three click on all three of them. So that that's one form of testing is let's put all three in there and see how that performs. And then let's also create another ad where we're only doing one at a time. So it's really not one other ad is actually three other ads. So if I was really testing, I would do four ads on this one campaign. I would do one ad just like this with all three. And then I would do three more with with each one individually. Let's test. Does that make sense. Yes. Yeah, so, so now what you what you have to do also is wherever that look like audience was based was based on whatever country we based it on on on the US and that's what you want to do in the in the titling of these so we got to go back and rename them. I would rename them because you want to be actually no it says us right there I'm tripping. It's us right there so these are us. What you also have to do is also go down to the map and put us as well, although, even though we're putting the custom audiences in the look like we still got to go to the map and actually put in us.   Yeah, right here, right here. So edit the United States. So to the right at it. Actually, no, the US is already there. So I'm just saying like, that's it right there perfect so us is perfect. So if it so so if these look alike audiences were the UK, then I would have done it all in the UK, and then I would have put the UK right there, United Kingdom. So the country must match the look alike audience as well. So now what you want to do is, because I think I think what they do is they create look alike audiences in multiple countries. And they, and it's only a few countries that they that they target they target that they target the US they target Canada, I think they target. They target the United Kingdom, they target Australia, and they target New Zealand, New Zealand.  Australia, New Zealand, New Zealand or however you pronounce that, the US, Canada, the United Kingdom. Now you don't do them all right here no you don't you don't put them all all in right there. This is again part of your testing so. So you could you could put them all in there one one form of testing is dumping all them countries in right here. Okay, other ad for testing purposes would be running each one separately. Right. Yeah. So that's what makes up testing that's what that's what Facebook ad testing is based on it's based on it's based on putting one at a time or putting them all in there at one time. It's based on targeting one lookalike audience at a time, and also targeting all of them at a time. And then it's also based on testing is also based on on keywords, so different interest words. But in this case, you really don't need to put any interest words, I don't think you need to put interest words on the detailed targeting. If you have that lookalike audience. You could put some keywords but but then again another that's that's another part of testing so one ad I may put all a bunch of keywords. Another ad, I'll leave it, I'll leave it off and I won't put any keywords in there. That's form of testing and then in the last form of testing, which is what they also teach in the course is images using different images. Okay, so just putting one image out there actually running the ad using multiple images, not a carousel post where where the person sees a bunch of images all on one post not not a carousel post. But but when you run the ad you set it up. Watch click on go next just go next for the third step over here, which is the last part of testing, which is what you want to do. You want to run and test it is over here you would you would you would put in the you would put in the ad right you would create the ad here, but then you would use, you would put in like five different images. So, so scroll down. So right there where it says, right here where it says add media, once you add something it'll allow you to add another one. It'll allow you to add another one. It'll allow you to add another one. And so when you put in multiple watches put in one for now. So, let's say for example that that's one image. So if you hit next. Done. So now, as you scroll down, which you can do also. Yes, so there's the primary text there's the headline. There's there's the description. So what you would do is let's say for example, let's say we publish it go to go to go to publish it we're not going to run it but but just publish it anyways. So here's how you would test images. And this is what is also taught in the course as well so now. So that's fine I didn't publish that fine so Excel in the top left Excel. Top left. So now here's what you would do so Excel of the one selected and the one selected or just check the box to the left whatever. So just just yeah check the box and then click on the asset tab. Check that box. Okay, so here's what you would do now uncheck this box. Now click on the campaign tab. So what you would do to test images is you would check the box here on the campaign tab check the box to the left. And then you would yep and then you would click on the ads tab to the right so click on that third tab to the right, right there. And then you would simply duplicate so you would duplicate you would click on duplicate to the right duplicate. No down down. Yeah so duplicate right there to the right right below the title new conversion add to the right duplicate. No no no don't check the box just duplicate so to the right. You see right there where it says setup. Yeah you're down down you're right there you're right there down down. Right there to the right duplicate. Oh, there you go click that. And then you would go off the original campaign, and then you would duplicate so hit the blue one. And this world take you into the third. This is the third, the third tab that we're on the creative the ad and this where you just put a second image. And so the way you want to do is you want to put you want to you want to put like five different images, and then now Facebook is going to just simply show different images at different times to see which image is the one that pops. So, you're creating your this is another form of testing you're creating multiple images, testing multiple images. And then you're also, you're also creating multiple ad sets, which is, which is, which is what you want to do to is create create multiple ad sets around different, different keywords and different and different look like audiences. That's what I went over earlier. And to do that watch exit of this part so exit of this part, and then X out top left X. So, so this was the image is how you would add a second image. Now, uncheck the box to the left, go back to the campaign tab. This box is checked. So another form of testing is clicking on everything is about checking the box on the first tab that's that's how this that everything's about that make sure the first box is checked. Now we click on the middle tab. And we do the same thing over here. So the middle tab. So just like I said earlier, the form of testing is on the custom audiences the look alike either put all three at one time or do one at a time. Target different countries target different keywords. This is how you would do it. So we check the box on the first tab. Now over here, we duplicate. So you click on duplicate, and then now original campaign duplicate. Now over here it's going to it's going to bring us back to the second step which is the ad set level. And over here scroll down. We would see those three look alike audiences. This is the same one as the first one scroll down. So there is our keep going keep going keep going. There are the three. So this is the second version of it. This is the duplicate. So now on this duplicate. Maybe I'll take out two of them. And now only test one at a time. Right. So, so, so there now I'm testing one at a time and one thing you want to do too is get get super detailed on the title so the very, very top, very, very top, the title, each tab there's three steps the add the ad set the ad. So in these three levels, you want to get super descriptive with the title, because if you leave everything generic, like it says there to the left, look at the left all the red triangles all the every all the word all the words to the left. Yes, I based on that right there I wouldn't know what the hell is what because everything is the generic new conversions campaign new conversions ad set new conversions ad copy, right it's like I don't even know what the hell that. So what you want to do is you want to name it so right here I would probably put I would probably put us look alike audience 1% or or or us look alike audiences all three. Right, like I just want to get descriptive of what this is which what what what what, what am I doing here. Right, so it wouldn't be new rename the whole damn thing it wouldn't be new conversions that said delete the whole damn thing and rename it based on based on what you're doing on this exact page. What are you doing on this exact page. You are targeting a look alike audience us 1% US look alike. Yeah us look alike. 1% that's this exact step right here. Right so, so so on the other, the other tab, or the other ad set the first original ad set out of pride name that one us look alike. All three, or whatever, right whatever's gonna help you know what what that is. But yeah you would completely yeah right there that one. But if you click on that one, rename this one us look alike all three, or whatever, you know, so that helps you know exactly what the hell is going on on on different ones so those are really the forms of testing it's really the ad set, creating duplicating multiple ad sets and testing different look alike audiences and testing all that keywords. duplicating duplicating duplicating having having having a few different different ads going at one time in the ad set level. And then in the ad level, having a few different images duplicate duplicate duplicate having a few different images to run. It's running at the same time just showing different images to different people to see which one pops. And that's that's how you want to set it up.  And let's say in seven days used to be shorter but now it's about seven days. In seven days, you can come back in and see which ad set is performing. Let's say you set up four different ones. It'll show you based on what amount that's being spent based on conversions based on freakin the numbers. You'll see which one out of the four is outperforming everyone else. If you set up multiple ad sets, all these different lookalikes or whatever it be, then you'll see which one out of the four is outperforming and then you leave that one on and you shut off the other three. On the ad side, I got five different images. It's going to show me which image is performing and the other ones that are not and those other ones that are not I shut them off. Let's click the dot so X out of this top left real quick X out. So all I would do is I would see, let's say, for example, this is it right here. So this is the ad set level. Let's say those are the two that I got going on. Let's say top one is outperforming it's seven days later that top ones outperforming I come over here and just click the blue dot on the second one. Click the click click the blue dot. And that's it and I'll turn that one off. And I'll do the same thing on the ad on the ad tab click on the ad tab to the right ad ads. So here I have all these different images right all these different images it's going to show me right here, which one is outperforming. And it's always going to be one out of all of them that obviously outperforms there's going to be always one winner. It ain't going to be two winners. I mean, there could be two winners for sure like you could be getting a good cost on two out of the four for sure. And if that's the case then then maybe leave them all on but a lot of times it's clearly one, clearly one of them is the winner. And so you just shade off all the blues, the ones that are not performing and leave on that one. And then, and then that's it man that that alone should should really bring in some cells until you can really up your budget and start testing even more. Okay, cool. You know. So, so yeah man so so great job on the hash list. And we'll get through all this stuff, you know, eventually and then our next call will actually go into the pages and start and start cloning some pages. Okay, but today I wanted to kind of focus on the hash list and getting the custom audience set up and getting the look alike audience setup and kind of taking you through a tutorial on how to do the damn thing. Cool. Yes.  Okay, while I'm, while I'm doing that, should I get some images created for these. Yes, get some images yeah for sure. For sure just turn all these off to shade all the blues to gray. And then you can eventually delete them as well. But, but doing on the ad set tab and the campaign tab yeah just shade all of them to gray and even when the ad stops like a lot of people, like the way I teach is all will set the calendar. Right, we'll set the counter. They don't really teach them the course they just let the damn thing run but, but I like to set the calendar, just so I don't overspend on anything. So as we as we set the calendar and let's say for example we plan on having this ad run tomorrow at 6am, and it's going to end in 14 days. When that ad ends, it ends, but over here, everything is still blue. So just to get in a good habit. Okay, like when that ad is off, even though it's off, shade them all to gray. Right, so, so that's a good habit to get and just shade everything a gray that that you know is off. And then all the blues are always on. Okay, cool so any any questions on this site, custom audience look alike audience hash list. Um, when I start to run ads normally. I'll usually do this on every different new offer that I try out. Yeah. Okay, yeah I was stuck on this part because it's, I wasn't collecting a lot of data. For running my ads and it wasn't targeting. It was website it showed me that it was website purchases and I was getting link clips but I. Yeah. Now that I know to grab the hash list. Yes man. Hopefully, I shouldn't have a problem in the future again.  Yeah, fill out the business info in the business settings. Right, knock that out. And then, and then you should be, you should be good. You should be good as long as that business info is set up. The contact information is there. You're not putting anything claim any claimy type of, you know, ad copy in your, in your, in your ads. You should be fine. In this website. Could I use the domain that I bought from name shape or. Yeah, we just have to integrate it so click on brand safety. And then go to domains brand safety up domains. Okay, so you're verified so you're good. You can actually is that the, no, that's not the domain you're using right that's a different. Now it's the lead pages I get rid of. Yeah, make sure you cancel the lead pages will we only know that shouldn't work cancel the lead pages. This is where your domain needs to go for sure. And when you get domains, don't get them through any software type of thing, like through lead pages, for example, a lot of people will use Wix and then they'll get the domain through Wix. Like don't do that always go straight to go daddy. Or name cheap, whatever, but but you can still, yeah, or name sheet just go straight to name cheap. Don't go through a third party to get the domain. Right, because then it could be a bitch to get that domain back because it's really the third party that kind of technically owns it. Right. So, so make sure you control that domain make sure you own that domain, and make sure you purchase that domain yourself. Okay, shouldn't be us, because I had it. I still have it in here shouldn't be as easy as just removing it. Yes, you can remove it.  How do I make sure my domain is mine. Okay, this one right here is the one hooked up to my Facebook but I own the daily fruit dot fit that calm. Okay, so you you have that through work through name sheet. Yes. Okay, you're good. You're good. So yeah, that's not even your domain at the top that's that's lead pages domain so yeah, cancel this shit you don't need this. And I'll show you how to connect it through name sheet on our next call. Okay, cool. Yes. Alright, Donis I appreciate you bro schedule our next one and then we'll go from there. Send me your website so I can leave a good review. Oh man, you're the best bro. Yeah, you're the best. I really appreciate it. In fact, you know what, go to go to Facebook.com right here I'll just show you how to get to it super quick. But any other questions on the on the on the custom audiences. Oh, no, this is perfect. Awesome.
