Evil Toons (4½ Stars)


Everyone hates being woken up early in the morning. So do I. But there are rare occasions when it's acceptable. One of them is when the postman is delivering something marvellous. Look what he brought me today. The 25th anniversary edition of "Evil Toons", remastered for Blu-ray, personally signed by Fred Olen Ray. For something like this he could have knocked on my bedroom door and dragged me out of bed naked.

"Evil Toons" was filmed in eight days in late 1991 and tells a true story, featuring the people who took part in the incidents. How do I know it's true? It's because Fred Olen Ray tells us it's all true, and we know he would never lie to us.


Four college girls are hired to clean a house before it's sold. It's a large house that's been empty for years, so they have to stay in the house all weekend. Whatever pays the bills. On the first evening a mysterious man in a long cloak delivers an old book written in Latin. Just like college girls anywhere in the world, they do what comes naturally. They open it and read one of the pages out loud. This summons a demon who's been trapped in the pages of the book. The demon possesses the body of one of the girls, Roxanne, and she goes on a killing spree.


"This looks like an interesting book, girls. What should we do?"


"I know! Let's read it together. What's the worst that could happen?"


"I will kill you all! I will devour your souls! The streets will run with blood!"

As you can see, it's not recommendable to read old books written in Latin, or any other old language that you don't understand. Since this is all a true story, it means that the Earth had a narrow escape in 1991. If you're reading my blog now you know that you're alive and safe. How did the girls manage to defeat the demon? It's not a secret. If you hurry you can still get a copy of the story on Blu-ray, limited to 1000 copies, all signed personally by Fred Olen Ray. If you wait too long you'll have to make do with the DVD release. It tells the same true story, but it doesn't look as good. That's a shame. An important story about the world being saved needs to be watched in the best possible quality.
