Tower of Terror - More Theme Park Silliness

Shirleon Sharron Season 1 Episode 208

PARTY PLEASER:

Shirleon, Kathryn, and Melvin dive into that long-forgotten non-DCOM, Tower of Terror! If you remember programming on ABC called "The Wonderful World of Disney", then you'll remember this early Disney Parks ride-adaption! Ready to relive some memories?

Topics: 

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 30-minutes playing a horror-themed trivia wherein Melvin & Kathryn duke it out over who knows more horror trivia! Who knows, maybe you’ll score more points than they do while listening? (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
  • Parts of the film are shot on the real Florida Tower of Terror location.
  • Tower of Terror is part of the canon 80s & 90s films wherein strange men hang out with younger counterparts, specifically teen girls… which surely makes you think…
  • For a film based on the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride, the few special effects leave a bit to be desired.
  • The very minor romance subplot (if you can call it that) is not only cheesy, it's also lame.
  • So... if the ghosts are chill, why are they trying to scare everyone away?
  • The drama during the climax is effective, and Shirleon & Melvin stepped away enjoying it.
