Monster Chiller Horror Theatre: Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses
The setup
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.
