- Not quite. Bela Lugosi gets turned into veteran western actor/stuntman
- Eddie Parker <who needs no platform shoes to be that tall. He's a big boy>
- Then the rock hits Bela Parker, knocks him into the plastic octopus,
- and bela wraps the tentacles around him. Lightning strikes the Octopus,
- and it explodes in a fury of stock footage. Then comes the eulogy.
-
- The Octopus was a leftover from the film "Wake Of The Red Witch" with John
- Wayne. Wood got the use of it, but nobody could find the motor that mnade
- it move. Hence the silly scnees of people wrapping themselves with tentacles.
-
- Sinister Cinema, in their ad for the tape, talks about how "a little
- editing could do wonders for this film". I laughesd my ass off when
- Joel and the 'bots took it upon themselves to do so.
