But truth be told, despite the barrage of usual ghostly powers - invisibility, super strength, general imperviousness, et cetera - the ghost of John Wayne Gacy has a long way to go before it catches up with the man John Wayne Gacy. Gacy the ghost killed a measly six people over the course of 8213 Gacy House. Shit, in real life Gacy the man killed more than that in 1976 - that we know about. All told, Gacy-man racked up a confirmed kill-count of 33 dudes in the 1970's, but that's just a minimum. Who knows how many more were sent downriver or otherwise disposed of? Bottom line, there will need to be a few more Gacy-ghost movies before those figures get equivalent, meaning for now, Gacy the ghost is only 1/5th as frightening as Gacy the man, so it's a good thing that sick son of a bitch is dead.
Still, suggestions for Gacy-ghost sequels:
- a home-makeover show tries to turn the land Gacy House was on into a shelter for abused children, who fight back against the biggest abuser of all, kind of like a pint-sized version of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
- an eccentric and macabre millionaire builds a mansion with the original materials from the Gacy House then invites half a dozen complete strangers to the mansion in order to participate in some fiendishly lavish and fake treasure hunt that in reality is just a ploy to enact revenge upon the strangers, each a cog in some long-past plot that somehow ruined the life of said millionaire. Then Gacy-ghost kills them all.
- just after being executed, Gacy-ghost finds himself as the guardian spirit of a trio of young, sassy siblings whose parents are both dead. All these rascals need is a little guidance,a lot of love, and a dash of divine intervention and they'll avoid the pratfalls of a parentless adolescence. Instead, though, Gacy-ghost spares them that by just killing them.
Just some food for thought, something to get those numbers up, cuz right now it's the dude who played "Francis" in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure that racks up the biggest clown-faced body count, and nobody wants that.
Get this film along with two other Asylum titles at www.store.theasylum.cc for only 19.99 until 10/31/10!!
ReplyDeletethe other two being HALLOWEEN NIGHT, the asylum's response to rob zombie's resurrection of john carpenter's iconic franchise and 666: THE CHILD, their reaction to the 2006 reboot of THE OMEN. HALLOWEEN NIGHT was directed by Asylum jack-of-all-trades Mark Atkins, director of the upcoming BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES, and 666 was directed by Jack Perez, who the COMMITTED might know better as Ace Hannah, writer/director of the most seminal film of our generation, MEGA SHARK vs GIANT OCTOPUS. this is a great deal, as all three films are watchable and re-watchable.
