Need A Room? Check Into "MOTEL HELL" Tonight!
The Sundance Channel is running a favorite flick of mine, from 1980; the one and only, MOTEL HELL. The hotel in the film is actually MOTEL HELLO, but the neon "O" is burned out.
Some background, ***with spoilers***, can be found HERE.
It stars Rory Calhoun, St. Paul, MN native Nancy Parsons, Wolfman Jack and John "Cheers' Cliff Clavin" Ratzenberger.
I like it because it is definitely not one of your typical, roadside motel slice-and-dice movies. It not only has a sense of humor about itself, it is one of those rare and well-done combinations in the Horror-Comedy genres.
"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters."
(How can you go wrong with a film that has the above as its Tag Line?)
Tonight, 9PM CENTRAL TIME...on The Sundance Channel.
