You might say Roy and I were “men possessed” last night during our road trip with “The Car” (1977).

Of course, as with any road trip, after a while the fatigue begins to set in, you start to get punchy, not all the witticisms land, and by the end you’re just looking for a restroom.

Still, some of the comments were good. As Phil Merkel observed, “If Satan possessed a Car, what he’d do would be to drive at 25 miles per hour in the fast lane with the left blinker on.”

The conversation is archived for posterity here:

Next week, our topic will be William Castle’s camp classic “House on Haunted Hill” (1959), one of Vincent Price’s most entertaining films. Price plays an eccentric millionaire who invites five people to a spooky mansion for a “haunted house party” in honor of his fourth wife’s birthday. Anyone who can make it through the night will receive $10,000.

It’s evident from the start the millionaire and his wife despise one other. Furthermore, the guests are given party favors in the form of tiny coffins with pistols inside. That’s a pretty good indication that you should probably leave.

Even so, the Price is right, when we discuss “House on Haunted Hill,” on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Post your comments in Emergo as we livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT!
