And All Through The House..... Larry Drake and killer Santa Clauses

[Elvis_Christ]

I just watched this episode of Tales From The Crypt I thought it was pretty cool but I'm a sucker for killer Santas. Larry Drake always seems to pull of a cool villian. Does anyone remember the
movie Dr Giggles? I might have to check it out again I saw it years ago and enjoyed it. What are some of your guys favorite Tales From The Crypt episodes?

My favorite episode of TftC was Easil Kill Ya with Tim Roth. It was about a painter who got his inspiration from killing people.

I remember Dr. Giggles. It was on the same level as The Dentist films.

How is Silent Night, Deadly Night? I have always wanted to see it. I order my horror dvds from CD WAREHOUSE and they don't hold that movie.

It's nothing too special. If you like older slasher flicks like My Bloody Valentine, the original Friday the 13th, or Prom Night you would probably like it. You can get it on the same DVD as Silent Night Deadly Night part 2 for pretty cheap.

I remember Drake as Dr. Giggles. He had a couple of really funny oneliners in that movie. I remember one: when he's using a stomach pump on some girl, he says 'I know, it sucks!'. You're right, Drake can play a pretty cool villain.

My favorite villainous Drake role was in the Darkman movies.

Yeah, it always freaks me out when he cuts off someones fingers with his cigar cutter. That's gotta hurt...

Yeh Drake and his cigar cutter are pretty cool in Darkman. otis - How is Silent Night, Deadly Night? I have always wanted to see it. I order my horror dvds from CD WAREHOUSE and they don't hold that movie.
I love Silent Night, Deadly Night its a total trash classic. A good example of the total nasty 80s slasher flick I fully recommend you get it. The Mutilator is pretty good in this vein to (if you can find a uncut version) it has some great killings. I was just reading in a old Fangoria magazine about the budget it was filmed on and how it was just a bunch of friends that got together to make a movie it was kinda inpirational as I'm looking at doing the same thing this year.

Oddly enough, it comes on AMC on Fridays.

What show is that?

Oh.... I have heard good things about Silent Night, Deadly Night. I purchased C.H.U.D. last week. That was a waste of 5 dollars.

[Elvis_Christ]

I haven't seen C.H.U.D yet something keeps putting me off it.

I actually like CHUD. I though I may of been lying to myself all these years so watched it again the other day and I still like it. It's well acted and directed and I like the fact that you don't see the monster straight away. I'd say give it a go. Step away from the sequel though!

Larry Drake will always be Benny from LA Law for me!

TFTC got me into horror. When I was little I used to watch it on HBO with my aunt. I LOVED it. I watched it when it got kicked down to Scifi afterwards and you're right. It does come on AMC now ^-^;.

My favorite episode (I forgot the title) was the one with the guy who gave the girl the lovepotion and she kept coming back. In the end when he tried to kill himself and then-heh, yeah, well for some reason I just liked that ending.

Finally got round to watching the copy of Dr Giggles I found recently. Pretty cool movie a lot leass gory than I remember but still definatley worth owning for Drake's preformance (the opening was really cool). Gotta try and track down a copy of Darkman III now. Anyone seen anymore Drake films recently? He seems to have disappeared well in genre films anyways.

Just watched the episode "Dig that cat he's real gone" with Joe Pantoliano. Great stuff! I've got to get my hands on some more episodes. I wish they'd put this show back on over here.
