It is kind of baffling to me that anyone ever thought a 90 million dollar Bride of Frankenstein movie would have a good ROI.

I guess the whole Dark Universe clusterfuck didn’t really teach anyone anything. Do they really think there is an audience for any of these classic monsters?

yeah I just don't see the point of the melania movie.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

They should definitely do a version of Melania with the classic pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and then Abbot & Costello Meet Melania.

They get numbers of people buying and watching the classic universal monster movies on streaming or blu-ray and assume they want a modern retelling but that's kinda the opposite of what those people are paying money to get.

You'll notice he doesn't really lean that into "black vomit" in his monster fucker fanfics.
