Passed along on the Interwebs via Wiley Wiggins. I consider this to be a Lynchian companion piece to Sausage Party.
MORE CLIPS, UPDATES BELOW:
This is his masterpiece:
His story is creepier than I thought. Of course he's a former local television kiddie show and late-night host. And registered sex offender.
In his performance, I detect hints of Fritz Lang's Rotwang ("Metropolis"), Herzog actor Clemens Scheitz ("Herz aus Glas," "Stroszek," "Nosferatu the Vampyre" -- he would make a good Renfield), the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) from "Phantasm," Julian Beck in "Poltergeist II" -- and William Hickey in just about anything from "Wise Blood" on.
Watch, if you dare, edarem's "30 Rock" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" videos, too. Vadim, over at The House Next Door, provided the inevitable cherry on top by revealing that the guy is a registered sex offender. It's comforting to see his confounding the stereotype.
Yikes Jim! He reminds me of the Tall Man!! I've had a few Phantasmesque nightmares, where I remember, in one of those dreams, that I was being chased by a flying steel ball, though not in a mausoleum, but in some sort of wilderness. Eeeks!!
*goosebumps
...and just a little Marty Feldman as Igor in Young Frankenstein!
If this guy were any more awesome I would have exploded by now.
Doc Brown after a few too many trips through time...
Though once he took off his first shirt, my immediate reaction was "pleasepleaseplease don't take off the other"...yet I kind of wanted him to just to freak out over it.
Phillip - Ask, and ye shall receive. Do a search for edarem and Backscratcher on YouTube. Then rinse your eyes.
Awesome. Now, when I hear "Pretty Woman," that guy will appear in my head instead of the Julia Roberts movie. Also just a good reminder of what a great song it is - I'd forgotten for the last 20 years.
Ralph Nader received about 17 curses from an undead witch.
Yeah, the 13th one drove him insane but the other 16 made him look like the scarecrow carcass we're observing today.
Holy...
Ahem. To paraphrase the great Stephen Colbert, "That's got to be the craziest f***ing thing I ever saw."
Also, I'm pretty sure he's the Nazi at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in mid-face shriveling.
Is he really Adrian Brody's father?
8 year olds, dude.
Thought he looked famiiar. Ed used to work television in Kansas City during the 70s. He did the kids shows, and used to host the weekly monster movie feature. He was always somewhat offbeat for TV, such his musical itnerludes on the cat-o-phone (humming on top of a live cat's head as if it were a kazoo). Appropriately, his monster movie host persona was known as The Creeper.
He looks like the grandfather (Al Lewis) from The Munsters. Sexual battery of a 14-year-old. Nice one, grandpa.
This guy gives me the same feeling that I had when I watched Wild At Heart - depraved to the core yet weirdly fascinating at the same time. The missing tooth is the icing on the cake. In this guy's case, the cake is probably made of ground meat and human hair.
I see a little Dario Argento and Martin Landau.
