Woody Tobias Jr On Monster Chiller Horror Theater
Jimmy_the_Gent412 July 2019
Some funny sketches and commercials, promos and a long sketch about a 3D classic "Death Motel".

The first sketch is Tony Rosato as Italian host Marcello Sebastiano on Sunrise Semester teaching hand gestures and leering at a woman (Robin Duke).

Count Floyd plugs what he promises (again) what will be a SCARRRY movie, "Death Motel".

A funny commercial has Andrea Martin as a Jewish mother using Bubie's Chicken Medication for every ailment for her son (Rick Moranis).

Great White North has Bob and Doug trying to discuss snow chains but they just argue over smokes and back bacon. A credits crawl show names like Harlan Ellison (written by) and Edith Head (toques).

Ronco Records has a commercial for a dead singer Edna Hymbecker (Duke) brought back to life.

A funny promo for "Danny Eubanks Seminarian/Rookie Cop" has Dave Thomas in the title role as a rookie cop who is also studying for the priesthood. He chases down a robber (Joe Flaherty) who punches him out when Danny admits he has not taken his final vows.

Then we get to Count Floyd introducing "Death Motel" and asking for $15.95 for 3D glasses. He says Woody Tobias Jr. will be in the movie as a scary hunchback and will also be a guest on the set. The movie begins with a unsuspecting couple (Dave and Andrea) stopping at a scary motel for the night. Bruno the hunchback is a bell boy and constantly comes into the room scaring the couple and then asking for tips. We go back to the studio with Count Floyd and his guest Woody Tobias Jr. Woody still has the hump, crossed eyes and warts on his face he had in the movie but smokes a cigarette and wears a leisure suit. He talks about how his father Woody Sr. was Lon Chaney's stand-in in the silent "Hunchback Of Notre Dame. The credits roll as Floyd accidentally hits Woody's hump.
