Speaking of zombies, "Prince of
Darkness" is this week's drive-in
selection, mainly for distinguished
achievement in the use of maggots,
worms, stinkbugs, dung beetles and
face-eating ants. Donald Pleasence,
the only man alive who can say the
words "There is nothing we can do"
so that it makes the hair on the back
of your legs receive satellite signals,
plays a Catholic priest who's a little
upset 'cause one of the holiest
Catholic guys died and left a book
full of equations explaining how the
devil lives in a 7-million-year-old glass
canister in the basement of an
abandoned church in downtown FJ
Lay and if they don't get some Albert
Einstein-level nuclear physicists from
Harvard to haul their hineys down
there and stop Satan from subdividin'
his atomic particles, then pretty soon
John Carpenter is gonna run out of
zombie makeup.
That's not all. Once all the big-shot
scientists go down to the church, set
up their gizmos and start gettin'
ready for Poltergeist City, Alice
Cooper brings an army of zombie bag
ladies down to the churchyard to
' stand outside and breed slimy bugs
and spit Gatorade into anybody's
mouth that comes outside. They're
trying to find a suitable body for the
devil to come to earth in. and guess
whose it is?
The No-Nonsense Panty Hose Lady.
Believe me, it's not a pretty sight
Zombie Rama. No breasts. Sixteen
dead bodies. Pencil in eye. Arm
hacking. Head rolls. Ants-on-zombie-cheeks.
Bird crucifixion. Beetle con-
It brings out
the best
in all of us."
Unibsd Vlfey
vention on a character actor's body.
Throat slashing, ear to ear, while
singing. Brick fu. Maggot fu. Worm
fu. Garden shear fu. Alice Cooper fu.
Drive-In Academy Award nominations
for Victor Wong, the nuclear expert,
for saying. "Say goodbye to classical
reality!": Jameson Parker, the he
man physicist, for saying. "A life form
is SELF-ORGANIZING!"; Susan Blan
chard. as the scabface leper-skin blond
ghoul in No-Nonsense Panty Hose;
and Donald Pleasence, the spookiest
priest in El Lay. for saying. "It's a
secret that can no longer be kept."
and "No prison can hold him now."
and "Maybe he's anti-God. bringing
darkness instead of light"
Three stars. Joe Bob says check it

WELL HOWDY. JOE BOB: I was
wondering if maybe you needed a
reporter or two for your We Are the
Weird newsletter. Working in a library
as I do. I see a lot of strange and
weird things that l could pass on to
you if you're interested.
For example, did you know that
Phoenix is building its own Star Wars
Defense System? It's true! A giant
laser about the size of the Eiffel
Tower is being built right this
moment in a city park in the heart
of downtown Phoenix, fully capable
of melting nuclear warheads or
punching holes in aircraft that stray
out of their proper flight patterns.
Fly the friendly skies . . . before it's
too late!
All the best Ken St. Anddre,
Phoenix
DEAR KEN: Matter of fact. I was
through Phoenix about a month ago
and went down to stare at the giant
laser "Whoops, I Guess You're Sterile
Now" sculpture tower. I admire the
politicians of Arizona for the way they
finally figured out an HONEST way
to cripple the public.
DEAR JOE BOB: The mister & I are
navid fans of yers. I forward your stuff
each week to the demented fruit of
my loins in Honolula Hiwaiya.
Please accept this new word in your
repertoire: Festicle. as in Film
Festicle.
Here in Vacaville next month we're
having a Punkin Festicle. Wush you
was gonna be here for it.
God bless your work.'
Love MIZ DAK. VACAVILLE.
CALIF.
DEAR MIZ DAK: Punk a few fes
ticles for me.
DEAR JOE BOB: What have you got
against dead aborigines? You really
don't know what it's like until you've
been one.
Yours for now SHIRLEY
MACLAINE, RALEIGH. N.C.
- DEAR SHIRLEY: You can always
"hope your' career will come back as
an animal act.
