Beware the DEATH BED, people!
Jun. 16th, 2010 03:27 pm( Trailer for Death Bed: the Bed That Eats. No guarantees re. work-safeness or SAN loss. )
I quote from this Onion AV Club article by Christopher Bahn and others (note that there are many equally cheesy trailers behind the link)(man, it’s weird to see Theodore Sturgeon’s name in an article entitled “Night Of The Killer Lamp: 23 Ridiculous Horror-Movie Adversaries”):
"The title says it all, really. Made for $30,000 over a five-year period—and never officially released until it was dug up for DVD in the early '00s—George Berry's inexplicable surreal-camp-horror film recently earned a mention in Patton Oswalt's comedy album Werewolves & Lollipops, in which he suggested Rape Stove as a possible sequel. Aside from luring potential nappers and love-makers with the promise of red velvety comfort, the centuries-old "death bed" isn't terribly active, which explains why it's been starving for 10 years in a crumbling estate before amorous young people begin stopping by again. Here's how the devilish contraption works: Victims are disrobed, surrounded by a burbling yellow goo, and sucked into an acid-filled waterbed mattress that dissolves their flesh and bones. Then the bed makes itself, on the off chance that another orgy might develop within the next decade or so. Weirdest touch in a movie full of them: Though the victims are submerged in a kind of acid bath, the sound effect is of someone vigorously chomping on an apple. The bed also snores, leaving viewers to ponder the metaphysical paradox of a bed sleeping on itself."
