I'd like to see kits of Blacula and Count Floyd from SCTV. They could be done as parodies of Aurora's Dracula kit.

Please pardon my ignorance- what's a Count Floyd?:confused:

Chris.

The Andy Griffith Show: Episode 36 : "Fangs for the Memories" : While visiting his cousin in neighboring Transylvania County, Floyd The Barber suffers a bump to the head. When he awakens, he returns to Mayberry convinced that he is the reincarnation of Count Dracula.

Pictured below: Floyd has just nicked Andy Taylor's neck with his straight razor. Unable to resist the sight of blood, he hungrily licks the razor while Andy is distracted. Actor Gary Oldman later lifted this scene directly in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Okay that explains a bust I saw on Jimmy Flintstone's table at Wonderfest. It looked like the bw photo

Count Floyd was an SCTV parody of horror movie hosts. He would hype a movie as scary, it would turn out to be a dull art movie of two women talking, then Floyd would complain why they don't send him scary movies.
In 3D House of Representatives, Count Floyd would lie it was scary to see that bill almost get passed.

You can see Count Floyd skits on youtube.

Thanks Zorro and BatToys, most appreciated.:thumbsup:

Chris.

Hey Chris if you get a chance to watch Count Floyd (Second City TV) check out when they're showing a 3D movie...hilarious.(total schlock overplay to the camera) That would be a great model Count Floyd scaring Johnny LaRue (John Candy):)

speaking of parody vampires, didn't Morgan Freeman play a vampire on a skit on the kids' show, Electric Company?

Mcdee, I think they've banned good shows in Australia!:p Do you know if it's available on DVD? I'd love to watch some of these types of shows, but I doubt I'll get the chance. I'm still trying to find the Groovie Goolies DVD that supposedly came out last year.

Chris.:)

Do you have YouTube if you do, search Second City TV Count Floyd it's a total parody of what I grew up loving...it seemed funnier in the 70's but then again we weren't just smoking cigarettes:freak::freak:
Mcdee
Not sure if its' on DVD but it probably is...anyone know?

Every time I try to watch YouTube, the computer freezes about 10 seconds into it. I don't even try anymore. There's so much stuff I'd like to find there but, until I can afford to do something with this infernal machine, there's nothing I can do about it.

Chris.:cry:

Yep, he was the "Vegetable Vampire".

Blackula and one of the lady vamps from the movie would be a good kit.

I'd get a Count Floyd if they also made a kit of John Candy from "Dr. Tongue's House of Cats" in 3D.

That's where he transformed women into cats.
There was also "Evil House of Pancakes."

They also took an actual entire half hour Cisco Kid episode and re-dubbed it. Martin Short dubbed Pancho's lines with a, uh, unmasculine tone. A short cowboy who looked like Alan Ladd had to keep denying to townfolks he was the Alan Ladd. It was very very funny.

I remember the Cisco Kid episode! That was hilarious!

There were too many great skits and characters on that show to count!

I managed to watch some Count Floyd last night. Man, it's funny. In a weird way, I mean. Which is cool, 'cos I'm weird too. Thanks Mcdee.

Chris.:)

Yeah these shows were designed to be so bad that they were good a total parody of the 3D and B horror movies, pure schlock that I always found hilarious ...of course I'm easily amused:freak:
Mcdee

Join the club!!:p. I loved the one with Lucille Ball, and the werewolf one was excellent!!

Chris. :p

Don't forget Dr. Tongue's 3D house of stewardesses! Man, SCTV had some funny stuff!

Man, I didn't see that one!!! I've gotta go have a look for it!

Chris.:):)

Cool!! Hey, I've got a suggestion- how about a Count Floyd model?:)

Chris.:)

I'd buy Count Floyd in a heartbeat, complete with 3-D glasses:p
Mcdee

One of my last Count Floyd memories was in about '84. I saw Rush over in Ft Lauderdale, and on the screen behind them they played a Count Floyd video. Too funny.

Oh, and even if I do love Joe Flaherty's work, I don't see a kit coming....

Awww Frank!! You disappoint me! I reckon you'd sell dozens!!!!!!!!! Possibly evn hundreds.......:p


Chris.:)

Mcdee

What about a William Marshall Blacula kit?It was only done once in resin but only in a bust no one ever did a full figure kit of him so how about one in styrene?:)

man i miss SCTV !
maybe resin heads of Count Floyd or Blacula .
hb

If Count Floyd and Blacula got in a fight, who would win?

I don't know,...but would you like some more..........pancakes ~...;)
Mcdee

PS ...my money is on Count Floyd (his frustration level has to have peaked by now)

I'd buy a Blacula kit if I could be guaranteed of a King of Cartoons conversion kit.
