The Blank Fra Diavolo
Here's to all off the murderous ex's, jealous friends, whacky patients, angry clients, bad neighbors and "brother devils" in film and spicy chicken history!
Is there anything more inconvenient than a blank from hell? All you want to do is enjoy a 7:30 screening of Problem Child with your family, but a vengeful and menacing former client who went to jail because you suppressed evidence won’t stop blowing cigar smoke in your face. And then, to make matters worse, he begins stalking you, murders your friend Joe Don Baker, and tries to kill you and your family before destroying your house boat. Maybe you wanted to just have a hot and steamy weekend romp with a co-worker while your wife and daughter are away, but she ends up boiling your family’s pet rabbit and blowing up your car. Finally, when you are at your wits end, you drown her in your bathtub, only to have her reawaken for one last stabbing attempt, and your poor, innocent wife has to shoot her in the chest. Perhaps you’re trying to take a relaxing lakeside vacation when a therapy patient follows you to your summer home, turns your own family against you and is so unrelenting in their boundary crossing behavior that you end up in the psych ward while he marries your sister. And let’s not even get started on your new roommate getting the exact same bright orange mushroom cut as you and then pretends to be you and sneaks into your bed while you’re out, and goes down on your boyfriend. So rude!
