I only have a vague notion of what exactly a shrew is, if it's even a real creature at all. I think it might just be a relative of the snipe, something you can apparently tame, but I do know for sure they don't look like nasty, paper mache' "real fur" cats you buy at garage sales or find in old ladies' bathrooms. Even more un-shrew-like is the films' use of domestic dogs draped in shag carpeting when the oddly constructed puppets won't do.#19 Grandma TOUCH OF SATAN (908)
"Call me Ms. Margaret Rawhide Chew". What's more lovable than a senile grandmother? How about one that murders your super-70's, Ryan O'Neil-lly boyfriends, and sheriffs and anyone else who wanders on to your property!Her back story is that she was burned as a witch and thus really isn't anyone's grandma, but unlike numerous other b-movie revenge seeking monsters, she kills indiscriminately. Why shouldn't all mankind be punished for the atrocities committed against her!
#18 Trumpy POD PEOPLE (303)
Yes, it's Trumpy! E.T.'s homicidal, Mexican cousin! And like E.T., Trumpy has a naive little boy who follows him around. The kid in this film though suffers from an irreparable, life crippling disillusionment that makes him think everything the Pod People do (including killing van loads of horny teenagers) utterly fantastic and wonderful! Complimenting his star-struck attitude is a poorly dubbed voiceover done by an adult woman.#17 The Great Vorelli and Hugo DEVIL DOLL (818)
Bryant Haliday (The Projected Man) is back, and this time he really hates his puppet. But who doesn't hate puppets? They're third behind carnies and clowns on the devil scale. Not to mention Hugo has no personality whatsoever, he just responds to his master's constant taunting and criticisms in a bland, monotone voice. "Gimme wine! Why can't I have wine!?" Well, Hugo won't take this kind of second class treatment for long, soon he will turn the tables on the treachurous Vorelli and drink all the wine he pleases!#16 Gypsy Woman THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES... (812)
"FEELTHY PEEG!"Yes it's Elizabeth Taylor as the Gypsy in "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies".
A word of caution, never reject the advances of weird gypsy psychics, they will throw acid on your face and call you a filthy pig.
