I'm one of the few people who can say they saw Death Rider in an empty movie theater during that tiny theatrical run and can assure it had music, including opening with Danzig himself crooning a western-style metal power ballad. This blu-ray not having that music probably has something to do with why the film vanished for about two years. Now I want to know what that story is because it is almost assuredly more interesting than the movie itself.

@@NoriMori1992day-for-night is a film editing technique where they film in the daytime, but put all kinds of filters on it to make it seem like nighttime. Making it blue and turning down the brightness, for example. It’s really obvious once you know how to spot it, because the shadows in the scene are still obviously daytime shadows, and in general it just *feels* artificial. It’s cheap and easy, and it makes a scene feel cheap and bad. The second part of the joke is the phrase “like night and day” which means “these two things could not be more unalike.

Poor Devon Sawa. The man's not Laurence Olivier but he's a perfectly decent actor, and man has he ended up in some trash fire films.

The explanation is actually pretty simple. Since around Danzig's 5th album he's been obsessed with doing his own everything and if you listen to the quality of the audio after that album it takes a nosedive. The mixing becomes horrible, the instrument tone starts to suck, it just becomes bad. Most people speculate that Danzig refuses to accept that his hearing is going after 50 years of loud music on stage. It's entirely likely that he just refused to take any input. It could be something as goofy as him mixing all the music into one audio track then accidentally muting it but not taking critique.

I've loved Glenn's music since discovering The Misfits, Samhain and Danzig in 1990. I heard Metallica's Garage Days, and bought a bootleg of the Misfits' Beware out of curiousity. It was amazing. I was thunderstruck. It was like the Ramones, who I loved, fronted by Elvis, with a Cramps swampy twang (on the Horror Business tracks). His voice was amazing. I quickly bought the 2 Danzig albums, which were all that he'd released at the time. And I picked up the Samhain CDs in short order. I loved the graphics, the melodies, everything. I loved horror movies, so the Misfits made sense and were also great fun. And before the internet, they were a complete mystery. I bought the Danzig albums as they came out (although I don't really love anything he's done in about 20 years.) I thought Glenn had a world-class talent and was one of the greatest voices in punk. I even shrugged off the Punch, as I think Danzig handled the fallout like a badass, by ignoring it completely and keep moving forward. I think the bubble popped once and for all after I saw him dragging a cat-sized coffin in the Crawl Across Your Killing Floor video. And I'm disappointed, almost saddened, to learn he has absolutely no taste in filmmaking. The lighting is awful, the editing is awful, he puts the worst porn stars in acting roles, the script is teenage boy level awful... i can forgive the HD video (which I hate, and not just in his movies) and lame special effects as he might have been on a tight budget, but the writing and the cinematography are utterly amateur. Hearing him cite Eyes Without A Face (1960) as an influence on Verotika gave me some hope, but that was dashed on actually watching the results. To this day whenever Danzig comes up in conversation my girlfriend will quote Verotika: "Milk? Or beeahr?" I'm convinced Julian Sands wandered out into the wilderness to die before this movie came out. That poor, poor man. And yes, i don't think he's very good at sound. Or maybe he's just cheap. Danzig never sounded good once they left Def American and Rick Rubin's production. 5 and 6 were passable, but it got worse over the years. His covers album and the Elvis tribute sound awful to me. Maybe on their own they sound ok, but in comparison to the Rubin recordings, hoo boy. Samhain and some of the Misfits recordings suffer from bungled mixes as well, but the songs shine through most of the time.

The percentage quote Mike was struggling with at around the 8-minute mark, (i.e., 80% of movies is music") is a sentiment/quote shared and credited to multiple people, each with different percentages. “Sound is 50 percent of the moviegoing experience.” From: George Lucas “The truth is, for me, it’s obvious that 70, 80 percent of a movie is sound.” From: Danny Boyle “Sound is fifty percent of a film, at least. In some scenes it’s almost a hundred percent. It’s the thing that can add so much emotion to a film. It’s a thing that can add all the mood and create a larger world. It sets the tone and it moves things. Sound is a great “pull” into a different world. And it has to work with the picture - but without it you’ve lost half the film.” From: David Lynch

Hard to phrase but hopefully that makes sense. I think Mike might have actually been there during that time but it was edited to look like he was in the bathroom.

As a Star Trek fan who’s been to Vasquez Rocks three times, I’m amazed it took Mike and Rich two hours to find it. It’d be like going to Manhattan and not noticing the Empire State Building.

This movie feels like Danzig saw From Dusk Til Dawn, Interview with the Vampire, Vampire Assassin and maybe a couple episodes of Deadwood and thought "I could do that!"

That's actually insane how much better the scene becomes with Jay's edits. It really is true that every film is made twice: once in the screenplay, and once in the edit.

To those who aren't familiar with Glenn, him not supplying sound or music to large chunks of his films despite being a Musician, a very popular one at that, may sound strange. But, Glenn is a huuuuuuuuuuge Cheap-Skate so it's really not that surprising at all. Just look up the history of their 1996 Album "Static Age". Long-Story Short: Static Age was originally suppose their Debut Album recorded way back in 1978 and had a bunch of unreleased songs. However, due to issues with the Record company it was never released. However, when the band broke up the first time in 1983, Glenn went back and reissues and remastered a bunch of these songs, then in 1996 he sold the Album and pocketed all the profits. For decades Static Age was the last straw for the band and why they wanted nothing to do with Glenn. A bunch of the original members even tried to sue him over it. Then, in 2000, Glenn tried to Sue Jerry Only for lucrative marketing deal Jerry had worked out with Hottopic claiming ownership everything Misfits related, Glenn said Jerry did all this behind his back. However, Jerry said that never happened, Glenn waited too long to file suit against him and he never attempted to use Misfits Trademark. Eventually the entire court case was thrown out. Only didn't really have a counter suit against him and Glenn couldn't prove anything. So, Glenn has a History of being a shifty cheapskate and kind of an asshole.

Yes, silver was actually traditionally associated with killing vampires in addition to (and potentially even before) werewolves. Both folklore and modern films tend to vary drastically when it comes to what works on their monsters, but the silver/vampire connection is a legit one.

Not enough props in the comments for Jay’s re-edit if the film. It was very well done, especially if he did it in the time he gave himself! I especially appreciate the mirroring of the shot at 42:07 into 43:48 The cut in the original is super jarring and ruins the moment, almost as much as having no score.

I can't say for Danzig personally, but I'm both a musician and an audio producer/editor, so I have some insight into the audio mixing process. The artist often has nothing to do with the mix or edits. Maybe some suggestions like "boost this" or "cut that" but honestly, when they leave, you ignore that shit and go back to how you mixed it because most of the performers are near deaf and probably drunk/high when they're in the studio anyway. In fact, we specifically can record their performance direct from an instrument or mic in a way that after they leave, we can replay it through the equipment without them swearing that "no, this is totally how it needs to sound". What works live is often terrible on an album. Remember, the editor is not a part of the band, so they get paid based on what *they* make out of the artists' performances, not what the artist can do on tour. Some bands get enough clout that they can dictate exactly how the album should sound, and that's why "St Anger snare" is an industry joke. On stage, the artist still isn't fully in control of their sound, as the front-of-house mixes it for the audience. You can't hear what you sound like to the audience when on the stage, since there's a whole room between you changing the way your audio fills that space. Hell, you likely can't hear *yourself* with most "hard rock" musicians because they often think loud equals good, and are personally hearing-challenged because of it. For large venues with a huge crowd, we have artists use in-ear pieces, and they might not even be hearing the full mix: usually, they're getting the drum mix and themselves to keep on time, with other parts turned down or even muted. So, it's possible that Glenn has never been at the mixing desk, and if he was, any changes he made were immediately undone when he left.

What I know Glen Danzig from is an old issue of Wizard magazine that suggested him as an actor for Wolverine. Cheers to the reality where that did not happen.

Vampire westerns have been done before, though. "John Carpenter's Vampires" was one (I watched it once, in the theater when it was released). Wasn't "From Dusk Till Dawn" sort of a western? (I don't remember much from that movie, except for Salma Hayak's dance scene!) Edit: I just looked up From Dusk Till Dawn, Danny Trejo was in that movie too!

Silver traditionally also hurts vampires. Silver is attributed to purity, which is why it burns unholy creatures like vampires or werewolves to the touch. The reason they have no reflections in mirrors comes from silver being used in mirrors, and they wouldn't show up from the purity of the metal. Whether a silver bullet would kill a vampire is another question entirely, but according to old folklore it would hurt them. Like how iron is seen as a natural metal, which is why cold iron is attributed to hurting magical creatures like fairies and stuff, which are wildly unnatural.
