Dick Miller first played that character in Corman's A Bucket of Blood, and whenever he appears in a movie from the Corman elite and his character has no specific name, that's what they call him. It's pretty cool, actually!<br /><br />I'm so glad you liked this one! Chopping Mall definitely has a lot to offer to the connoisseur of 80's cheese, and the actually really decent robot effects are just the cherry on top.<br /><br />Plus, MARRIED slasher victims? That's pretty unprecedented in this subgenre of teen bacchanal. And the fact that this movie has so much to offer that a comprehensive review could entirely leave out "Waitress, more butter!" and be wholly satisfying speaks to the film's quality.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.com
