CHILD'S PLAY / United Artists - 1988

Here's another movie lord Litter likes to watch over and over... This one's about a single mom who gives her son a much sought after doll for his birthday, only to discover that it is possessed by the soul of a serial killer!! Just the way we like 'em! Filmed in Chicago.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our killer doll collection, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's some... CHILD'S PLAY!

Here's Charles Lee Ray trying to escape from policeman Mike Norris in a toy store, he puts his soul into a doll named, what else, Chucky.

This is Karen Barclay, she needs a present for her son, Andy, for his birthday...

Andy takes Chucky with him wherever he goes, and, I think this little kid has a big problem.

Andy has told his mom that Chucky talks to him, so, she opens up the battery compartment only to find the damn thing empty... WTF!! Then, he attacks her, as heard in the sound clip.

Next, Chucky hides in the car of copper Norris and tries to strangle him as he drives out of control through the city streets. He also stabs his sharp knife through the driver's seat.

SURPRISE!!! Andy fights back.

Mom tosses Chucky into the fireplace, hoping that will bring the nightmare to an end...

But, the little shit ain't going down that easy!!

Hi, I'm Chucky... Wanna Play?!!..

THE PROTECTORS - Robert Vaughn - "Brotherhood" (1972)

"The Protectors" was a TV show that ran for 52 episodes from 1972 to 1974! I can unequivocally state that I never knew about this show until Lord Litter recently turned me on to it, because I did not even own a TV set during those years! Lord knows what else I missed, or then again, maybe he doesn't!

What I do know is that Robert (THE Man From U.N.C.L.E.) Vaughn had the starring role as Harry Rule, the head of an international crime fighting agency!

"Brotherhood" was episode number two!
The awesome swingin' music in "The Protectors" was created by John (Psychomania) Cameron, and here's just a small sample of how cool it is!

Harry Rule has been hired to to break some cat out of jail who has supposedly been imprisoned unjustly!

 Pretty tricky how they can hide the big boss's true identity!

Nyree Dawn (The House That Dripped Blood) Porter has the role of Harry Rule's partner, and very efficient assistant Contessa Caroline di Contini!

She's come to the prison to plant a mini-bomb, but for some reason, the warden is very distracted!

The mini-bomb goes off and blows out the bars on the jail cell window, and then Harry Rule swoops down in his helicopter and saves the innocent victim!

 Time for Harry and the Contessa to celebrate! To the victors go the spoils!

 Oh, Great! You busted me out of prison just so my brother can murder me!

 "Yeah, hey, I'd like to order a pizza to go....and no anchovies!"

I said, "NO ANCHOVIES! What the Hell did you think I meant?

 And now a word from our sponsors!

Let the fustercluck begin! Better watch out, Harry might just punch you!

"The Protectors" is another great Gerry (Thunderbirds) Anderson production like "UFO" that has real people in it, not puppets!

Job well done, let's wrap it up!

Although I wasn't familiar with "The Protectors," I probably did see every episode of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." but I have to tell you that my favourite memory of Robert Vaughn will always be for his role as Lee, the spineless hotshot gunman in one of the best western movies ever made, "The Magnificent Seven!"

THE WICKER MAN / British Lion Film Corporation - 1973

This week I'll be doing two movies that Lord Litter loves to watch over and over, I'll start with this super special movie. Our pal Greg Goodsell clued me in a year ago, so, here we go!!.. Our story's about a police sergeant that's sent to a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl whom the townsfolk claim never existed. But, even stranger are the religious rites that take place there. For those who want to know, the 2006 version with Nicolas Cage is a giant pile of crap, so, don't waste your time with it.

I have a sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our atomic toaster, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's a sample from... THE WICKER MAN!

Sgt. Howie (Edward Woodward) shows up in Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of the young girl.

But, he feels like everyone's shining him on. Here, the locals sing about bedding women!

The locations are beautiful and plush, in the Nicolas Cage version the countryside is all dried out and just plain ugly!

Sgt. Howie pays a visit to Lord Summerisle, a Chris Lee role that will amaze. He wants to know why there are girls dancing nude on the grounds, a bit of that conversation is heard in the sound clip.

The sarge decides to leave in his plane to make a negative report about his findings, but, it won't start and he's stranded without communication to headquarters, not good!

Then, he finds these horny dolls on his bed, soooo...

It's time for a big stiff one!!

Things get extra strange when the island festival gears up, masks and costumes for everyone!

Sgt. Howie finds the missing girl and presents her to the crowd. She quickly runs away from him and gladly joins the rest of her people... WTF?!!

The sarge is cleaned up and dressed in a white gown, then dragged away toward...

A giant freaking wicker man!! Holy Hell, what is that damn thing anyway?!..

It's very bad news for Sgt. Howie, bringing an end to this fascinating flick, comes with our highest recommendation!! Now, all we have to do is wonder what Eegah!! will have for us on Wednesday.
