Day 19: Basket Case (1982) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
Basket Case (1982)

This time it's Belial, the titular and literal Basket Case of the movie.

I haven't watched the original "Basket Case" in quite a while, but have vaguely fond memories of it--a mixture of sub-optimal special effects, campy gore, and vague attempts at humor, but all with a sort of goofy charm.  Although, I'm sure if I watched it now, it was have a number of... problematic scenes no doubt.  Then again, there are a number of 80's movies which I enjoyed as a kid/teenager and if I looked at 'em now, would probably blanch at them now (what can I say, it was the 80's--a lot of the media was cringe-worthy when looked at today).

I do remember watching "Basket Case 3: The Progeny" (1991) and was mildly surprised that it was a fairly decent and humorous film which built upon the story, rather than just seeming to be a sort of franchise cash grab.
