The Aftermath

Well....now it's all said and done.  You've been introduced to a completely new world of cinematic joy.....the joy of "Bad" Movies. But, what do you do for an encore, after the dim glow of the VCR's clock blinking "12:00" repeatedly (and a possible hangover) is the only remnant of the fun you've had?  Well, in my case, I contacted the man responsible for the evening's film, for any closing thoughts/feelings on me and my usual gang of idiots sheenanigans involving the product of his hard work.  Adding insult to injury....nothin' says love like e-mail harrassment. Here's what Doc Freex...screenwriter Freeman Williams, had to say:

It's nice to know that FOREVER EVIL still puzzles viewers after all these years.  As my life's Greatest Monument to Things That Might Have Been, any validation can be seen as good. Sometimes I think that maybe, just maybe, in another fifteen years people will look back on it with the same fondness and newfound admiration as they seem to do with Beyond the Valley of the Dolls these days.  Then I realize that my drink is empty and it's time for another vodka martini, a double again this time, please. It might please the audience that the bafflement runs both ways, as I am surprised to see that FORVER EVIL has become the new century's Rocky Horror Picture Show, with viewers dressing up and enacting favorite scenes.  I knew we probably should have had a song or two in there

Ladies and Gentlemen.....Freeman Williams circa 2002

And, in semi-related news-   on September 11th, while most people were spending the day forgetting the anniversary of the  WTC bombing, I was in a room wearing a Madonna-style microphone and watching a video monitor.  Yes, I was recording the audio commentary track for the FOREVER EVIL DVD, and hopefully it isn't too lame or bitter.  I do reveal the rules for the FORVER EVIL Drinking Game (which will cause severe alcohol poisoning in less hardy souls) and call Henry Winkler "the other John Travolta".  Roger (the director) and I actually do a fair amount of mea culpas.  I'm not sure if I really want to hear the finished product.....

II, for one, cannot wait.  And hopefully, after reading  these little rants of mine, neither can you, True Believers....for if the example set by Mr. Williams and his attitudes towards his own "Bad" Movie can be taken as gospel, it's a genre that's not only capable of providing viewers with loads of fun and laughs..... ....but, also, is capable of laughing at itself.  And, brothers and sisters, that's the best kind of laugh one can ever have.

And if all else fails....always remember the  cardinal rule of "Bad Movies":

HKC- Drunk as a skunk and being hugged by Plank....see what horrors you have wrought, Mr. Williams?!?
