I know how you sometimes get influenced by the things you watch on TV.<br /><br />@Al Bruno III--Great story! I would wager that this one would still have the power to surprise a horror con audience with its unusual premise and the beauty of Stacy Haiduk. I'm secretly hoping she'll see my paean to her beauty and contact me for an interview. Or just send me a glossy 8x10. Ideally in a protective plastic sleeve.<br /><br />@Maxim De Winter--I'll definitely be looking for that, thanks for the heads-off...er, -up!The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-47862679255212175462009-07-06T07:47:26.501-05:002009-07-06T07:47:26.501-05:00The Vicar is on the money about real life chicken ...The Vicar is on the money about real life chicken geeking being a near bloodless experience - check out William Eggleston's Stranded in Canton (on YouTube in its entirety after being a near impossiblity to find for twenty years) if you don't believe me.

I attended a local horror and comic book convention called THE FANTACON. <br /><br />These conventions always had interesting guests like Tom Savini, Dario Argento and our subject of the moment Carlton J. Albright. he gave a talk to us about the ups and downs of making the film and then invited us to stop by the local art house theater to see the film.<br /><br />I am not a big fan of psycho killer films really, I prefer terrors from beyond but this is one of those films that has long stuck in my head. When I describe it to people they don't believe me.<br /><br />And as for the lovely Stacy Haiduk well when her shower seen began you the only sound you could hear in the theater was the gentle crackle of 200 or so nerds getting erections.<br /><br />You know if this film had come out just a few years later they could have called it 'The Silence of the Hens'https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-80363386886911378192009-07-01T10:49:12.266-05:002009-07-01T10:49:12.266-05:00Welcome back, Vicar!

Once again, you lead us to the water, only to dunk our collective heads underneath and grin maniacally whilst we thrash.<br /><br />This movie sounds all kinds of Mad. I can't help but chuckle at the asylum giving him his metal teeth back upon his release. I mean, he's cured, right? Paid his debt and all that. Perhaps they equated it to giving a carpenter back his hammer. It was his livelihood, after all.<br /><br />Major kudos for a splendid review! I must add yet another film to my extensive library. This one sounds both titillating and creepy, two adjectives with whom I am deeply acquainted.The Duke of DVDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931606833969681610noreply@blogger.com
