The premise

Here’s the bit.

Count Floyd opens Monster Chiller Horror Theatre by plugging this Saturday's feature and urging viewers to mail him money for the 3-D glasses they will need to watch it. The clips that follow show Dr. Tongue, lurching his face toward the camera at every opportunity, ordering his bumbling servant Bruno to fetch a human body for his experiment. When a group of airline stewardesses whose car has broken down knocks at the door, the doctor welcomes them in for the night and has Bruno strip away their uniforms. A second clip reveals that the stewardesses have been turned into obedient zombies who wait on the doctor a little too eagerly, until one of them calmly delivers an in-flight safety announcement about the mansion's exits. Back in the studio, Floyd admits the film is not very scary, fumbles with his steamed-up glasses and makes one last pitch for viewers to send away for their own pair.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

They laughed at me in Budapest.

I turned those stewardesses into zombies.

The only problem is I think the experiment worked too well.
