Landis can't get over the curse of the Twilight Zone Movie.
Ever since the accident on the set.
For those of you who don't know, - Vic Morrow (the lead in Landis' lead in the racist-gets-his-due segment) was killed on-camera. While filming the Vietnam sequence a helicopter experienced "pilot error" and collapsed onto the set. The propellors effectively decapitated Morrow.
Since then, people can't really get into his material...it sucks, but there really is a lingering stygma on the man.:(
