A BED THAT EATS PEOPLE WHO SLEEP IN IT? IT’S DEATH BED FROM 1977

Death Bed

For a nice Friday post we’ll depart from our usual week-ending edition of my Cool-Named Team Of The Day to do a Bad Movie. It’s 1977’s Death Bed and it’s hilariously bad. It gets my highest rating, in fact. For more Bad Movies click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

DEATH BED – (1977) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following      A bed that eats everyone who lies on it is the hilarious premise of this actual straight-faced attempt at a horror film. You know how water-beds have water in them? This living bed has digestive juices in it. Its victims are somehow sucked through the Continue reading

A MASS MURDERING DOCTOR IN A SMALL VERMONT TOWN: I JUST UPDATED MY BAD MOVIE PAGE

I just updated it with my review of the comically lame telefilm Doctor Cook’s Garden from 1971 starring BING CROSBY himself as our homicidal physician. If you want additional bad movie reviews here is the link: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

 DOCTOR COOK’S GARDEN – (1971) – Category: Enjoyably campy bad movie elevated by kitsch-value in the casting.     Bing Crosby IS Colonel Sanders in Finger Lickin’ Good: A One- Man Show! No, actually Bing plays the title doctor in this made-for- tv movie based on a play by Ira “Rosemary’s Baby” Levin. Trouble is, with the snow-white hair and beard he wears in this telepic Bing looks like he’s supposed to be Colonel Harlan Sanders, inducing laughter in the audience in what is supposed to be a horror/thriller. Doctor Cook is the seemingly amiable physician in a small Vermont town but in reality he’s a killer with a God Complex, giving Continue reading
