I remember seeing pictures, in an old Fangoria, of a Roger Corman-esque film that featured a group of mutants(?), among whom was a guy boasting a living sock puppet for a head.
That's right, I said "sock puppet." As in white gym sock. With the ankle stripes and everything.
Can anyone can direct me to the name of this, urm, gem - or better yet, pictures of the sock-pupput-man in question?
i think the movie is called Freaked. Wierd but funny movie about a guy that turns people into freaks and makes money of the freakshow. It stars Brooke Shields, Mr. T, William Sadler, and Bobcat Goldthwait as the voice of Sockhead. hope that helped.
Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.
Take a peek (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0109838) (with Amazon link to the video). Aside from Sockhead, there is a human worm, Rasta eyeball-henchmen (Eye-n-Eye), "The Eternal Flame" (he has digestive problems), and worst of all...Stuey.
Butt-curdling terror has a name, and it is "Stuey."
Yup, definitely sounds like FREAKED. It is possible that it's something else, having a sock puppet for a head being a universal theme, but I'm betting on FREAKED.
A film I've always enjoyed. I recently found the children's novelization at my local library and read that for a goof. Shame Alex Winter seems to be pegged down as simply "Bill from BILL & TED".
