Due to technical difficulties, my planned Storytellers Unplugged contribution, This Career Brought to You Courtesy of Myspace, will have to wait until next month. An amusing twist really, since the completion of the combination interview and essay was foiled when Myspace appeared to have undergone some kind of cataclysmic system failure.

Since giving up on Myspace for the night, I’ve spent the evening watching cheesy 80s horror flicks and trying to decide what the hell I’m going to write about. After coming to the conclusion that I have nothing of importance to write about, I thought I’d change things up a little by testing your knowledge of Hollywood Cheese.

Each of the following six lines refers to what I consider a fine and entertaining example of Hollywood Cheese. The first person to post the correct movies for each of the six hints in the “Comments” section below will win a copy of my Earthling Publications novella, King of Souls. These shouldn’t be too hard.

1) “I don’t want Church to get his nuts cut.”
2) “Shit on a toadstool!”
3) “Crom!”
4) “Oh that’s just what we call pillow talk, baby.”
5) “Thanks for the ride, lady!”
6) “I want to make sure I’ve labeled all my organs correctly.”

    (1) Pet Sematary
    (2) I knew this was Troma, but I had to look it up to see that it’s Redneck Zombies.
    (3) Conan…the Barbarian? It could be …the Destroyer…
    (4) Army of Darkness
    (5) Creepshow 2?
    (6) I knew this was a Friday the 13th film, but I’ll be honest and say I had to look it up to find out that it’s Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan.

    Brian, I’m afraid I didn’t know all six, or even all five, or all four . . . Yet I love cheesy 80s horror flicks. Actually, I love cheesy horror flicks from all decades and times.

    I look forward to reading your essay next time — sounds interesting.

    You know, there was a guy in my writers group several years back whose favorite criticism of a story or scene was that it was “cheesy.” I usually responded by saying, “Fondue you!”
