Sometimes in this particular obsession you come across titles that sort of bowl you over. Stuff like The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies or Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? or Battlefield Earth 2 . Stuff that really makes you wonder what someone was thinking. Or if they were thinking.
Looking over at the "New Attractions" portion of this site, I saw this title: The Curse of Count Chocula .
Words fail me.
Now, I know I could be sensible and wait for the review, but I just had to ask. Who out there has seen this or knows anything about this? The IMDb (//www.imdb.com), usually semi-helpful, directed me to Curse of Count Yorga. What is it about?
For the life of me, all I can see is the breakfast cereal character...

It is an independent film. In fact, I think they either made it "just for the heck of it" or maybe as a college project. I think the total cast was about eight people, if that many.
There is indeed a Count Chocula in the movie and he craves chocolate over blood.
Thanks for the info, Andrew! Looking forward to the review.

On a similar thought, try eating a couple bowls of Boo-Berry and see if you end up with a green 'curse' the next day in the .....other bowl.
You'd be suprised how many friends that I have visit from out of town that can't get Boo Berry in their local grocery store!
They buy a box to take home with them!
Next to steak, cereal is my favorite food. And I would love to know how to get a copy of this movie. Is it a Barn of the Blood Llama deal where you have to write to the makers?

I, sitting on the other side of the Atlantic to you folks, have no idea what "Boo-Berry" is. Doesn't sound very appealing, given what you've posted.
It's a cereal flavored like bluberries, and the pieces are shaped like ghosts. There's also Frankenberry, which tastes like strawberries. They're actually pretty good.

I woukld also like to obtain a copy of this, but how??
I went ahead and sent an email to the fellow who mailed me the film, asking about how people could buy the movie. Will post it in this thread if and when he sends a response.
Craig Welter wrote me back and said that anyone interested in getting a copy of the movie could email him at:
craig_welter@hotmail.com
He said the work was never really intended for sale, but he would probably just ask those interested for $5 to cover the cost of a blank tape and mailing. I need to tell you that my opinion of it was a single slime, but it did have redeeming qualities. The zombies who are unhappy with their vampire lords (and constantly shot at by the vampire hunter) is one of them.
Dear God! I remember these... they always gave me problems like no other food could.
One thing that interests me is that they don't sell in over in the old Iowa state... where the Hell can you get these green s**ts in a box?
Same with Frankenberry (although, the toll is not as high), I liked to know where ot acquire some of these.
Don't forget Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy.
I must say, this thread amused me. So much interest in this film:
The Curse of Count Chocula (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/chocula/)
Yet another review that is undoubtedly more entertaining than the movie. Nice job, Andrew.
One question though, is the promiscuous Goth chick cute at least?

Judging from the vidcaps Andrew put up? No

I was hoping that the girl pictured wasn't the Goth chick in question. :(
She was the only female listed in Andrew's cast high-lights so my guess was that it was her
Fearless posted pics of the girl in question.
The funny thing about this movie is that they definitely just made it for fun or for a project. The zombies' little subplot, with them unhappy about their dead servitude to the vampires and constantly running away from the hunter (as his guns blazed away) was pretty clever. There was also a scene with them trying to talk to a store clerk (remember, they only mumble). One finally gets frustrated and eats the clerk's face off; the others yell at him.
