This movie was " amusingly awesome " ! It also contained a bunch of movies and TV series subtext within it . Which for me made it the main attraction for the whole storyline of this film ( like a " best of " or " greatest hits " formula ). For the first example - the store owner played by actor Richard Moll ( excellent actor by the way ) - the name " Kolchak " was a character Carl Kolchak from the short lived TV series - Kolchak The Night Stalker ( 1974 - 75 ) which later became the grandfather series template for The X - Files ( coincidence on this ? perhaps ) . Next for the TV show fans if you haven't already noticed the character Candy struck an almost interesting resemblance to Elly May Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies ( 1962 ) TV show . ( Yet another interesting trademark ? ) Plus several other " crossover movies " such as - Wrong Turn ( 2003 ) , House Of Wax ( 2005 ) , Cabin Fever ( 2002 ) , Village Of The Damned ( 1960 - a dash of ? ) , Book Of Shadows Blair Witch 2 ( 2000 ) , Children Of The Corn ( 1984 - a dash of too ? ) , and of course The Hollow ( 2004 - based on The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow story ) . There maybe some more " crossovers " but at the moment this is what I saw from this movie especially seeing it only once for the first time . It's definitely a watch more than once kind of film . Well folks thank you for your patience with this long post it's all new to me ( this Message Board thing ? ) and this is my second one here ( the first one I did was for Brokedown Palace 1999 ) . Take care and enjoy the movies .
