And the "Blinders On" Award Goes To...


So this dumpy old rich guy...




... marries this young, mod hottie...




... and doesn't see this coming?




What an ignoramus. Well I guess she's free to do what she wants with his money now. I can't possibly foresee anything spoiling her plan...




... can you?

What happens next is a foregone conclusion for an Amicus film.

I guess the clue is when Joan Collins hears the message "a homicidal maniac has escaped. He may be dressed as Santa Claus" on the radio. In my opinion you should immediately lock away the little girl who's prone to opening windows...

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

To the basement with her!

"Mummy, what's wrong with Daddy?"

"He had a little too much RedRumAde and spilled it all over himself sweetie."

bill r. said...

What is this film? I haven't seen it.

bill r. said...

Scratch that, I just checked the labels. Hey, that's in my queue!!

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Well then, I guess I just kind of spoiled some of it for you. Sorry but hey there's still several other stories in there. And Ralph Richardson is a much better cryptkeeper than that annoying as hell animatronic puppet from HBO.

Oh, and the blood she scoops up from the floor in this one. It looks like the thickest, brightest red paint they could find.

By the way, I'm not at work yet. My computer is still being worked on so I'm going in late so in about an hour I'll be offline again for several hours - Hooray!

EVIL CLOWN said...

Damn kids. This is exactly why I eat them.

Peter Nellhaus said...

Hats off to Jonathan.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Evil Clown, I hope you don't eat the processed kind. I worry about your cholesterol.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Peter, are saying "hats off" because Joan is behind me right now with an iron poker just waiting unt.. . .... ..... ..

[loud thud heard as Jonathan's body collapses to the floor]

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

I'm off to work. Wish me luck.

Fox said...

Wow... another post done good, Lapper. You never cease to amaze me. "An Inconvenient Ruth" was good enough for a morning laugh, but then you gotta drop in that heartbreakingly hilarious picture of the little girl behind the drapes?!? I didn't know that Kill Fest meant you were gonna slay your audience too! Well done.

p.s. Leave it to Evil Clown to sympathize with a murderer of children... not to mention a Shriners Club sugar daddy!

Werebogast said...

Little Chloe Franks really brought the funk there for a couple of years.

Werebogast said...

If I were Rosemary, I wouldn't answer the door. It looks like Minnie's got the rag on.

That was gratuitous but I wanted the 13th comment.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

bada bing

Killer stuff, Fox, killer.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Werebogast? There bogast. There Castle.

So Chloe brought on the funk huh? I couldn't say. Aside from Tales from the Crypt I saw A Little Night Music and Straw Dogs and not much of anything else she was in.

Was there a particular movie she truly brought the funk to that I missed?

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Hey speaking of gratuitous and banners I finally created a banner that my wife said was "offensive." I thought the day would never come, but then it is October Kill Fest and it's no holds barred. Personally I think it's rather inoffensive and funny but then what do I know? Maybe it's like that whole "Smell the Glove" thing and I'm just not seeing it. I have to let you guys be the judge.

Fox said...

If I were Rosemary, I wouldn't answer the door. It looks like Minnie's got the rag on.

HAHAHA!!!

PUN O' THE DAY goes to Werebo!

Werebogast said...

Was there a particular movie she truly brought the funk to that I missed?

Principally The House That Dripped Blood, where she really sticks it to Christopher Lee (cue Cryptkeeper's annoying horse laugh) but she was also in Trog, Who Slew Auntie Roo and was still killing 'em in The Uncanny.

Neil Sarver said...

"... And All Through the House..." from The Vault of Horror #35 is a classic E.C. story. I'm not sure either this or the TV series adaptation, by Robert Zemeckis, are as effective as the original comic. I do love the use of Christmas carols as dramatic counterpart in this version, however. Definitely solid.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Trog - Well I admit, it's been a long time, a long, long, long time but despite seeing it on her IMDB page, I don't remember her at all. She couldn't have done much in it. And The House that Dripped Blood I didn't mention because it's one of those movies where I'm not sure if I saw it or not, many of the horror, sci-fi and adventure movies of the sixties and early seventies meshing together in my head in one bloody disturbing mess, occasionally disrupted by floating cobwebs.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Neil, I've never seen the original comic source for this but I love the segment in the movie. It's probably the favorite segment of many people who see it.

Fox said...

Looking at those stills again and noticing that the back of Shriner man's paper says something about Altamont, maybe? All I can make out is "POP FANS ... HELL'S ANGELS ..."

NATHANIEL R said...

as usual your banner is priceless.

an inconvenient ruth.

tee hee

bill r. said...

It's probably the favorite segment of many people who see it.

And you spoiled it for me. Thanks, douche.

Werebogast said...

Why do people call each other douchebags as an insult? Douchebags serve a purpose and the way I hear it you're better off for the experience.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Well those Shriners always do keep up with the Stones you know.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Thank you Nathaniel as always. I know what a big fan you are of Rosemary's Baby so I actually did think while putting it together, "Nathaniel will probably like this."

I also thought when putting the post together, "This will ruin the movie for Bill. Ha ha ha ha ha ha." Yeah, I just laughed and laughed thinking about that one.

And thank you Werebogast for clearing that up. It's fitting too because right now I feel fresh and clean. With a delightful strawberry scent. Thanks for noticing Bill. You're the best!

bill r. said...

I meant that you were one of the douches that doesn't work correctly. So take that!

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

One of the ones that doesn't work correctly? Congratulations, you just made me cry. I hope you're happy!

bill r. said...

Well, sorry, but that's what you get.

Werebogast said...

I have it on authority that there is nothing worse than a weeping douchebag.

Werebogast said...

And Fox, good eyes on the Altamont reference. It begs the question, though, as to why a man in December 1972 would be reading a newspaper from December 1969.

Well, he's dead now.*





*That's an Invisible Edge joke, which you'd get if you went there!

Fox said...

Dang... what's up with Bill today? To piggyback on Werebo's reference, maybe Minnie passed the rag on over to him!

Which would explain why he's jealous of your strawberry smell...

Werebogast said...

Bill's a little full of himself 'cuz he got a link at GreenCineDaily today.

Fox said...

Damn Bill. That's pretty sweet, my man! You are gonna get some mad hits now my brotha.

Bring your A Game, I know you got it in ya!

bill r. said...

Um...yikes. I had no idea. My comments sure aren't going up, but even so...I'm both honored and terrfied.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Werebogast, this Weeping Douchebag appreciates the Invisible Edge link in my own comment section. By the way, tears really bring out the strawberry aroma... mmmmmm... I sure do smell like a nice douchebag.

EVIL CLOWN said...

Jeez, I get on a plane and fly and look at all this conversation. Fox is dropping lame jokes and bill is calling people douches - which may not necessarily be a bad thing?

Lapper,

If I have the time and the inkling, I prefer my children soaked in a ginger soy for about 12 to 15 hours and then seared slightly on both ends.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

I prefer a teriyaki marinade myself but that sounds pretty good. I'll have to try it. Gee, thanks for the cannibal recipe Evil Clown.

Werebogast said...

I dare say it would be worth a fire poker to the dome in exchange for a tumble with Joan Collins circa 1972. Her expression of obvious disdain is a bit of a turn-on. That and the eye shadow.

EVIL CLOWN said...

werebogast,

Glad I wasn't the only one that pitched a tent in the old clown suit.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Her expression of obvious disdain is a bit of a turn-on. That and the eye shadow. Bad women are always so much sexier than the good ones. Their dismissal of you makes them more attractive. In this case it's irreversible dismissal so I can't imagine Sugar Daddy is too aroused at that moment.

Jonathan Lycanthrope Lapper said...

Glad I wasn't the only one that pitched a tent in the old clown suit.

Thanks for sharing Evil Clown.

Neil Sarver said...

Indeed. It is a standout in the movie, although "Poetic Justice!" with Peter Cushing, as I pointed out before, is the frickin' bees damned knees, and not even psycho Santa can top that.

I'll stand clear of the rest of this, thanks!

Fox said...

EVIL CLOWN said...

Momma said I wouldn't amount to much. Now look at me.

Top O The Shit List Ma!

Captain Howdy Lapper said...

Fox is lovin' you being here Evil Clown! And I bet you would've amounted to more had momma not killed every one of your girlfriends. And then left you to clean up the mess.
