Warning: Spoilers
It must have been about 230 this morning. I had a pomegranite seed stuck that wouldn't come out. That generally keeps me up. So I did what I usually do in suchnot cases and turned on the odd show network. Pretty soon this 7-corpse thing began. It started out OK, I guess, with some credits cut around 6 or 7 people killing themselves or being killed. After this snappy part, there was a longer thingee when this old lady in an orange dress dragging on the wood floor and black cape stepped into a circle or candles and seemed about to stab herself to death after chanting some jibber jabber. But then the camera close-up became a far-out and there was a bunch of people in the room with the old lady, who was actually an actress in a really cheap horror flick. But 7 CORPSES itself is even more of a ripoff than the imaginary movie!! At least in the fake horror film being filmed, someone gets offed from time to time. In the so-called "real" 7 CORPSES show, no one ever dies! At least, not while I was awake.

So, if you have something aggravational stuck in your teeth, and need help falling asleep, go ahead and see THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN CORPSES. It deserves 10 of 10 points for doing that trick. But if this was considered entertainment in 1974, it's just one more reason for me to be glad I wasn't there then.
