Grandma Cloris' recipe for crocodile stew!
26 February 2022
Ingredients: 3 (minimally...) fat and massively oversized crocodiles. Ask your local butcher for extra fake and juicy ones! 1 Maine lake-setting that was previously used already in a modest cult-favorite. 1 heroic Sheriff, preferably with romantic and parental issues. Half a dozen - give or take - happy campers willing to go skinny-dipping. 1 crazy old lady (how did you end up here, Mrs. Leachman?!?) who secretly feeds the crocs. 1 stereotypically dumb macho hunter (tip: extra rich and arrogant adds flavor). 1 African slave-warrior not afraid to battle ridiculously large animals with his bare hands (and win).

Preparational steps: every self-respecting horror chef knows that you achieve the tastiest and most refined results with animatronics, or even stop-motion effects, but in case the competences and budgetary means are limited there's always the option of CGI. If so, like the case here, consider the following rule: if you go over-the-top, you better do it properly! The bigger and faker, the better!

Start cooking: throw all the ingredients into the Maine lake-setting and its surrounding shores and let them simmer. Make sure the characters cannot leave the lake area, though. Never mind the entire nearby village easily could come and help, make it looks as if the characters are trapped and the lake is inescapable. Spice things up with disposable rednecks and laughably inept amputations.

Serving tip: with some friends and plenty of beer! Bon Appetit!
