Zombie Fuel

As a twist on this, I feel that "you should never watch actors who voiced your childhood cartoon of Frosty the Snowman cook his murder victims in a microwave oven." Yet, this is exactly what happened when I watched "Microwave Massacre." This film starred the ever-deadpan stand-up comedian Jackie Vernon, who played the role of a disgruntled husband and construction worker named Donald. ( Click here for a clip of Jackie's stand-up routine.) During his film career, Vernon most notably voiced the character of Frosty in the classic, made-for-television cartoon "Frosty the Snowman" (1969) , as well as the subsequent "Frosty's Winter Wonderland" (1976) and "Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July" (1979).    "Microwave Massacre" is sandwiched between Vernon's third role as Frosty and an independe...

I did some digging and discovered that it was a low/no-budget movie. I was thrilled, as I knew right away that it fit the bill for a Zombie Fuel viewing and review.

Having started my journey into the Sherlock-iverse with the more recent "Odd Noggins," I decided to backtrack two decades to "Bloodsucking Redneck Vampires" to check out some of his earlier work. When I initially saw a running time of one hour and forty-seven minutes, I thought I would be in for a long, drawn-out viewing session like the last week. Boy, was I wrong! From beginning to end, I was intrigued by the storyline, small-town humor, innuendos, and drunken debauchery.  I actually found myself rooting for various characters! My favorite character, hands-down, is Cletus, who is a comic sidekick to a character named Junior. Cletus was played by the late Bill Bradford, who also m...
