HOOKERS IN
A HAUNTED HOUSE |
|
Lap-dancing exorcists
from the mind of Lou Vockell, the one-man film industry of
Cincinnati, who includes in every movie he makes at least one
scene of himself in drag. Since Lou is quite beefy, quite
bearded, and quite testosterone-voiced, this makes for some of
the most horrifying gross-out scenes since Milton Berle first
donned a housedress on "Texaco Star Theater." Three hookers get
picked up by three goofy guys who are living in the house of a
Star Trek Nerd who wears Spock ears all the time. Then, while two
of them are making the sign of the five-fanged fandango, the nerd
gets out the ouija board and summons "hideous, vile, ill-tempered
and excessively butch spirits from beyond the grave." The
principal demon turns out to be a disgruntled supermarket stock
boy who puts a paper sack over his face and becomes . . . Bag
Job, a serial killer who eviscerates topless dancers and their
aardvarking clients with various grocery-store paraphernalia. The
whole story is told in flashback by the sole survivor, bleached-
blonde B-movie scream queen Leslie Culton, who manages to escape
by being bashed over the head with a beer bottle by the ghostly
spirit of her ancient drag-queen ancestor, thereby receiving the
secrets of the erotic arts that allow her to then confuse Bag Job
with the sheer range of her exotic-dancing wardrobe. (Yes, they
really had a script for this.) Unfortunately, Vockell IS limited
by the Cincinnati talent pool, so only two of his three haunted
hookers agreed to get nekkid for the camera, but he more than
makes up for it with special effects--lightning, levitating
weejee boards, the haunted house itself--that would get a solid
B-minus at any Adobe Photoshop Fun Ed class. In fact, they're not
so much special effects as special-ed effects. Five dead bodies.
Forty-eight breasts. One catfight. Death by cornflake-battering
(a cereal killer, get it?). Whangdoodle-cleavering. Giant ganja-
smoking. Grocery-receipt strangulation. Multiple lap dances.
Cheesy fifties sci-fi footage with screaming jungle bunny in a
loincloth attacked by a giant lizard. Mouth-to-breast
resuscitation. One of the longest slow-motion shower scenes ever
filmed. Multiple aardvarking. Price-labeler Fu. With Jeff Weldy
as the Nerd King collector of jars full of eyeballs and
"supernatural greasy lubricants," Jenny Wallace as the hot
redhead babe who interrupts her strangulation to fix her makeup,
Leslie Culton and her two enormous talents as the sole surviving
hooker, who transforms herself into a topless nurse, a topless
jungle goddess, a topless spacebabe ("Beam me up, Scotty! There's
no life on Planet Impotent!"), a topless cigar-chomping devil
girl, a topless catgirl, a topless leather girl, and a topless
bikini girl, but refuses to do any nudity that isn't necessary to
the plot. Two stars.
