Sheesh!  I've only seen the previews, and I picked him!

He's the grinning idiot behind the counter of the hotel.  He gives a big toothy

	"What kind of idiots do you have here?"

	"The finest in New York!"

Tim Curry is actually in quite a few movies:

                        Annie
                        Blue Money (TV)
                        Clue
                        Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (voice)
                        Hunt for Red October, The
                        Legend
                        Oliver Twist (1982) (TV)
                        Oscar (1991)
                        Pass the Ammo
                        Passed Away
                        Ploughman's Lunch, The
                        Rocky Horror Picture Show, The
                        Shout, The (1978)
                        Stephen King's It (TV)
                        Times Square
                        "It" (mini)

Well... not actually having read any of the books, I can say that most of
the movies are quite dismal... I have read most of The Stand and think it's
brilliant, and am surprised that no one has tried to adapt it. Lawnmower
Man was pathetic, even the VR was quite lame. Can someone please tell me
the story between King and the Lawnmower Man? 
I am told that Sleepwalkers has special effects akin to the Goodies... ball

Well... what I am saying is that I think they shoud leave the books, and

specifically for the movies, but ended up lame anyway.

Truth is stranger than fiction,
and documentaries can be goreir than H.G. Lewis.

I think any thorough gore-fess MUST include "Red Asphalt" and
some of the other Ohio State Police drivers-ed shock flixs.  I
have a part of another documentary, which depicts a sex-change,
male to female.  I remember another blurb of a farm machinery 
safety film, in which they re-enact some guy getting his penis
ripped off in a combine (or something).  Then they sew it back
on - but this part is the real thing.

I did think that "Blood Feast" was prety gorry.  The film made 
the blood look like candy.  Everything had a red tint to it, and
blood filled the frame more often than not.

Charles Busch (sp?) is a playwright who has written a number of very odd
productions.  One of them was called something like "Vampire Lesbians of
Sodom."  I'm told it's very funny and strange.  The only play he's written
which I'm familiar with is "Psycho Beach Party," which we did here at
Rutgers a couple of years ago.  This play is about a gidget-type teen with
multiple personalities and a very oppressive mommie-dearest-type mother.
If "Vampire Lesbians" is anything like it, It's bound to be weird.

Hi all,

My wife was working on a term paper on "Frankenstein," and
we got to talking about film adaptations of it. She insists
that there was a film adaptation that had a woman with a
ribbon around her neck that sort of held her head on. I
think she might have two movies confused, though.

We thought maybe Jane Seymour was the woman, and we targeted
the movie in the 70's. I remember a TV movie called something
like "Frankenstein: The True Story," but the local (usually
excellent) video store did not have this one.

So what I need to know is:

1. What's the ribbon-holding-the-head-on from? Or a woman
   who wears a ribbon and gets decapitated, maybe?
2. What's the title/year/details of this Frankenstein
   film? Anything that would help me find it.
3. Anyone know where I can order a copy/price?

Thanks!
