MORE MOVIES - watch out for evil pianos

First, my apologies for not blogging more.

Over the past two weeks I have been trying to get a script finished and sent out to some people in Hollywood. We got it sent out a couple weeks ago and then talked to some "important" people in HWood about it and then it was back to doing changes.

So, again, my apologies.

In the World of Public Domain films, it's amazing what you'll find.

I watched a film called: "The Demons of Ludlow" about a haunted piano. Yes, a piano. You see, the piano is possesed by demons and, when it's played, the demons come ALIVE!! Imagine "The Fog" but, instead, it's a piano. There's even a priest but he has a VERY HOT wife, who spends the first 5 minutes of the film in her underwear drinking wine (not a bad start).

To continue the musical theme, I followed this with "The Hands of A Stranger" which is a really interesting film with a very stupid character. The story is about a man who is a concert pianist. He's on the verge of greatness when he's in an accident and loses his hands (they're grotesqly deformed) and to save him, the doctor cuts off the hands of a dead "john doe" and graft them in place.

Amazingly, the body does not reject the hands, but the pianist gets all PISSED and starts killing all the people around him. Has he gone insane because of the new hands? Or is he just nuts?

Why I don't like this character is that, obviously, he'd have stumps or metal replacements for hands. Why he doesn't embrace this new technology and be excited about - I don't know.

Continuing, yes, the music theme - we come up to "The Man In the Attic" - a musical version of "Jack the Ripper." Sort of. Jack Pallance plays a mysterious "doctor" renting a room from some hot babe and Elsa Lanchester. He MIGHT be Jack the Ripper, he might not. Who knows. But the movie is sprinkled with songs.

Finally moving away from the musical theme, I watched "The Demon." "The Demon" is one of those films where this "person?" "Demon?" Is able to disappear whenever he feels like it - but somehow stays around long enough to kill people.

What made the movie good was the copius amounts of nudity. At the end of the film, our beautiful blond heroine is being chased around the inside of her house, while wearing her bathrobe.

To get away from "the demon" - she takes off her robe and climbs up into the attic. I'm always wearing my robe in the attic.

So for the next few minutes, she's crawling around topless - really for no reason at all except to show boobies.

Then, when she gets away and hides in a bathroom, she decides to wear, yes, a shower curtain to cover up her nakedness.

She kills the demon by sticking a pair of scissors into his thorax.

What fun!
