Q: What is an iRiff?
A: An iRiff is a home-made audio commentary that you can upload to the RiffTrax Store and sell to our thousands of daily visitors. You'll make 50% of the net revenue your iRiff generates, paid in quarterly installments on balances over $25.
Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.

Hauntingly funny
Yeah... I said it, hauntingly funny; you wanna make something of it? :-) Seriously, best hor-riff-ic yet! I think the movie would have moved faster if they'd been snorting cocaine instead of smoking pot. Look forward to your next release.
Hor-RIFF-ic shows us the light again. All are welcome!
Here's another great riff from Horr-RIFF-ic. I'm going to be the odd one out and declare that I actually like this movie, but I don't know if I'll be watching it unriffed again. Gary, Erin and the fans who contributed jokes really did a great job with this one. Gary and Erin are really great together and are a lot of fun to listen to.
I'm a sucker for puns, so the tree part really made me laugh. There's too much funny to elaborate on, but I recommend this riff absolutely. Hor-RIFF-ic has not disappointed yet.
Why did any of this make sense in 1982?
We get to know the parents by first watching them get high. No wonder it occurred to them that their missing daughter was being held prisoner by ghosts. Never mind calling the cops. That wouldn't help. This contrived plot wouldn't pass muster today. It definitely gets what it deserves. And the long scenes of whispered conversation drive me up a wall.
POLTERGEIST – Screw the Kids, Let’s Burn One!
Another great effort by the Hor-RIFF-ic team. Highly entertaining riff with a steady stream of good jokes. No dead spots whatsoever; the riffing is well-paced on this one. Same great chemistry from Erin and Gary. There are tons of funny jokes based on the running gag about the Mom and Dad’s complete lack of parenting skills. The more writers involved on this one makes for a greater variety of riffs. Nice audio quality, too.
I haven’t seen this movie in ages. I remember I was scared seeing it as a little kid. But as an adult, this movie ranks pretty high on the goofy scale. This is a movie I probably wouldn’t even be interested in watching now if it wasn’t accompanied by a riff. This riff takes a slow, slightly-boring and silly movie and makes it an fun experience.
Favorite laugh-out-loud moments:
The Carol-Ann/hitchhiker riff.
The Colgate riff.
The 'time for a bath' riff.
The optical illusion riff.
The 'living on a boat' riff.
The 'spiritual fire code' riff.
The 'ghost scissors' riff.
For what it's worth, I definitely recommend this iRiff. You will laugh AND be treated to a Xanax-dazed Craig T. Nelson!
excellent as always!
excellent as always!
Never realized how bad the film is..
till now..
Good lord are these people idiots! First there is the freaky chair stacking. If that happened, any normal person would be out of there in an instant. You wouldn't play with that by letting it pull you along the ground. You'd get out. Then next a tree nearly EATS your son and ghosts snatch your little daughter into another dimension. But they still stay there. FINALLY they at least send the traumatized son to granny's for a few days ALONE. Finally after dealing with a creepy old lady you get your daughter back. You pack up and then proceed to take a shower and let the kids sleep in the haunted room? Worst parents ever! It takes coffins and bodies rising out of the ground for you to finally leave.
Also any parent who thinks their kid would like that creepy clown thing is definitely high. I'm 30 and STILL think that thing is creepy beyond words.
Bad movie, great riffs. They never disappoint... even when written by others.
This is the only way to survive such a haunting!
As always Hor-RIFF-ic Productions does a great job of making 80s horror a laugh riot.
The riffs fly fast and hit home on this release.
Check out the sample and get your laugh on!
now that's poor parenting
Really solid riffage as usual from Hor-RIFF-ic.
Great JPM (jokes per minute) + an 80's classic = good times
Best so far...
What can I say? There was a lot to like on this one. Sound quality was good with a nice volume level, the jokes hit fast, furious, and stayed at a good clip all the way through, and overall it was just fun to listen to. All the scenes with Zelda Rubenstein were great, though considering I did contribute a few, I won't mention them here and turn this into an ad or anything. They're all good zingers, including running gags I honestly didn't see coming. Worth watching multiple times.
It's HEEERRRREEEE!
Come for the ghosts, stay for the shirtless Craig T Nelson! We hope you enjoy our 11th victim. Again we want to thank all the contributors out there and everyone else who helps us in those tiny little ways that makes our lives (and afterlives) so much easier.
