Summary
David Warner | Donald Pleasence | Dick MillerInspired by graffiti scrawled in the stalls of the Dead City bathroom, Brandon & Chris get the wild idea to introduce their own Hall of Slime– a place for the gone (but not for-rotten) legends of genre cinema to be remembered forever. It’s a special episode that honors and celebrates the roles of some of our very favorite character actors and the rules for inclusion are easy: Inductees must be deceased and must have been in the type of movies that played on slime-splattered drive-in screens everywhere. From ooze merchant to scarred-faced arch-nemeses, beat poet murdering sculptors to machine-gun wielding future presidents, we’re dusting the cobwebs and uncovering roles deep in our inductees filmographies and welcoming this first terror triumvirate to the loving forever-home of the Dead City CELLULOID CATACOMB.
