I also direct you to the "Beast of Bray Road" Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_Bray_Road Man, I tell ya, makes ya proud to be a Wisconsinite! ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, keithbjohn...@... wrote: > > So, I'm sitting here on a cold, wet day in the ATL, a little down in the dumps: bemoaning my fate in life, ranting about the evils of Palin and McCain, concerned about the economy. Devastated that the Cowboys- -America's Team--suck (as I'm sure we all are). While trying to take a nap, I do some channel surfing and decide to see what's on the SciFi Channel, and what do I find? Some Z-grade movie called "The Beast of Bray Street". The "plot", as it were, appears to deal with a couple of dudes who are werewolf hunters, who end up fighting a nubile lass who is herself a nasty lycanthrope. The plot doesn't matter, of course, nor does it matter who starred in the film. (Probably unknown actors who'll end up in adult films later on). What got my attention was how incredibly, badly cheesy this film was! I mean, the blood splattering all over the place was fake, the werewolf effect (glowing green eyes) to start reminded me of Michael Jackson's glowing eyes in "Thriller", and the final we > rewolf form was horrible. It was obviously somoene in a bad werewolf costume!! Remember those old Three Stooges or Albert and Costello shows where there'd be a fierce gorilla and it was painfully apparent that it was actually a man in a moldy suit? That's how bad the werewolf lady was done here. It was so bad I laughed my butt off. And of course, in the true tradition of all crappy horror movies, there are contrived moments to draw out the suspense: the gun that works perfectly until the critical moment, the character so incredibly dumb that they can't tell the good guy form the bad, the monster inexplicably taking her time doing the final killing of the final hero so he can scramble for a gun. It was horribly, badly cheesy, and I have to say I loved it! > > And the funniest thing? The end credits of the movie stated "This film is dedicated to the great state of Wisconsin". Huh? So it was shot there, but why dedicate a werewolf flick to the state? Does America's Dairyland possess a deep dark secret amidst all those cows and cheese? Wow--werewolf dairy farmers, there's a scary concept! > > Martin, I guess some days "skiffy" is good for something after all. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
