Goth Talk: Christina Ricci

On a Florida cable-access edition of Goth Talk, Circe Nightshade welcomes viewers to the funeral of her friend Azrael Abyss, who keeps interrupting from his bier despite being alive. Guest Hezabiah of the Dusk, whose idea the living funeral was, arrives late after struggling to park the new car her parents gave her for graduation and leads the dark ceremony. Baron Nocturna rushes in from his fast-food job to deliver a eulogy that turns into worry about who the school bullies will target now. Azrael's last will and testament turns out to be an old family Christmas video of him, as plain Todd, gleefully thanking Santa for a Mickey Mouse phone, and his mortified struggle for the tape ends the show.

The sketch is scored with Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
