I keep hoping the film will pop up on TCM one of these days. Here's two more vintage shots of unknown ventriloquists and their frightful figures.

That second dummy....whoa....would this act have brightened any party or what?! And the ventriloquist looks so proud. Thanks for the creepy pics, Dr Spyclops! ZD

I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why the vent figure in that first photo looks so familiar and you nailed it. Thanks, ZD.

Spy, keep 'em peeled - it has in the past. Far and away the best job I ever saw Manners do; redeems him for all the Uni milksops. Best, -Craig W.

Now, here's a nice, nightmare-inducing trio for ya, gang... 1) TRILOQUIST (2008) is a direct to video hatchet job by the writer/director of the LEPRECHAUN movies. I like the poster image but even the trailer left a lot to be desired, so I'm only mentioning the film here for the sake of completeness. Strictly for connoisseurs of trash cinema. 2) The second photo is "Archie the Dummy", a latex mask from a UK-based company called Rubber Gorilla. They do some nice, ghoulish work if you're looking for something for Halloween. Here's a link to see more... Rubber Gorilla 3) A hand-painted vent figure from Susan's Custom Creepy Dolls , a strange little website that I ran across accidentally one day. Susan's an ex-mortician(!) and taxidermist, who specializes in creating very weird and humorous, Tim Burton-esque original sculptures. Her site's a bit wonky to navigate but definitely worth the effort (Just a heads-up for the sqeamish: when you get to the page that has a Joan Crawford doll at the top, don't scan all the way down to the very bottom of the page. There's a very disturbing video clip of an eyeball being scooped out of its socket! Don't say I didn't warn ya.). Pleasant dreams, kids. -Dr. S.-

They really were amazing, weren't they, Rekill? That little guy with the matching white suit was just so life-like. Best damned ventriloquist act I've ever seen. Seriously though, I don't remember a Fantasy Island episode with a vent and a dummy, so I've got me some hunting to do. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Rick.

Once, that was joined with the honor of paying tribute to a great character actor, Frank Sutton, and of working opposite another, the recently-late Bruno Kirby Jr. (thereby hangs a strange tale...), in THE DUMMY.

For those scoring at home, the photo Skelly posted above is actually from BLACK DEVIL DOLL (2007), a blaxploitation horror / soft core sex comedy, that we touched on briefly way back on page 9. I found a new website recently, where vent artist Albert Alfaro is selling a terrific custom recreation of "Fats" from MAGIC. He also has many original figures for sale. Most are on the whimsical side but these two caught my eye... Meet "Ridley the Undertaker" and "Chow Tu Wang". Chow sort of looks like Dr. Lao meets Alfred E. Neuman. You can see more at http://www.imaginariumgalleries.com/ventriloquist/ but be prepared to turn the volume down on your speakers. You'll know what I mean when you get there.
