Telling anyone under 40 that this is Amityville.
The second series of brilliant kids' supernatural anthology SHADOWS (1976) had one of the spookiest title sequences ever. It still blows my mind that Toast of Tinseltown did a direct homage for its titles. Talk about a deep cut. Knows his stuff, does Matt Berry!
It appears that they cast an awfully wide net on this one.
As someone whose family owned a Chevy Celebrity, I recommend that folks temper their expectations on that last bit.
Couple days ago, I opened a can of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni with a best buy date of 2018. Took me a couple minutes to decide that was an 8 and not a 3, a few more minutes to realize this is 2026, so it was at least 8 years old, and two more days to realize that can predates my pandemic stockpile.
I've had hot dogs twice a day for the last four days or so. Opened my last pack today.
The good news is now I won't have to worry about what's in the refrigerator when they shut off my electricity.
First Patti Lupone. Then Eva Green. If you're hoping to inspire a rewatch of Penny Dreadful, @cinefeast33.bsky.social , you're doing a fine job of it.

There's a case to be made.
The print used on MTV and AMC had a truncated ending, which changes the entire outcome of the film as presented in its theatrical version. This print ends with the fade to black and the gunshot at the boat dock just before the end credits start. The rest of the theatrical ending which details the final fate of the mall survivors is removed. The end result is the ending is a "happier" one. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363547/alternateversions
Ironically, MTV and AMC made the bold and correct decision to air a cut version that ends at the dock as God intended.
Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942) predates Hercules in New York by twenty eight years and Crocodile Dundee by forty four years. But we have to credit the king with getting there first. King Kong that is.

Title card for Life Begins for Andy Hardy (1941)
Title card for Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942).
Title card for Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).
Title card for Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town (1950).
As a 70s kid, a lot of what I watched on television was from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. On Saturday afternoons, one channel ran the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies and the Andy Hardy movies with Mickey Rooney. Another had Francis the Talking Mule, Ma and Pa Kettle, and the Abbott and Costello movies.
Must we drag Francis into this? Who's next, Ma and Pa Kettle?
The Following must've been one of the last network TV series that I watched weekly. And what's wild is, I just revisited True Detective Season 1, both seasons of Mindhunter, and the first two seasons of Hannibal, but I haven't even thought about this show in ten years.

Must be a typo, you appear to have misspelled Hell.

An American police captain sitting at his American desk, and just behind him the American flag, Old Glory herself, the Stars and Stripes, the Stars and Bars, emblem of enduring freedom, but most importantly, a photograph of the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, the greatest man to ever hold office. Establishing shot in Outcast (1990), showing very clearly that they are in the United States of America and not dirty, filthy Canada.
How Outcast (1990) establishes that it was filmed in the United States of America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Not Godless Canada, certainly not the province of Ontario, and damn sure not the alleys of Toronto. Let alone without permit and only the faintest hint of safety precautions.
A bookshelf filled with assorted volumes on the paranormal and occult, as well what we'll say is a blue steel revolver with walnut grips in a black leather holster. Titles include An Occult Dictionary For The Millions by Howard V. Chambers, two volumes from Time-Life Books' Mysteries of the Unknown - Phantom Encounters and The UFO Phenomenon, The Paranormal by Arthur Ellison, Witchcraft: Past and Present for the millions by Marika Kriss, Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter J. Carroll, and Exorcism Through The Ages by St. Elmo Nauman.
In Outcast (1990), this shot hits the screen at the 58 minute mark and you know that they're about to blow your doors completely off. Two of the main characters are introduced one hour into a movie that's an hour and a half long. That first hour does not prepare you for the final thirty minutes.
William Friedkin being William Friedkin for four minutes thirty seconds.

AI will never make a movie like Outcast (1990). But Toronto did. And God will hold them accountable.

I saw this movie back when it first hit VHS or HBO and to my recollection have not seen it since. That's been quite a spell.
