The strange MTV Sketch comedy series made by Alex Winter before frightening

Alex Winspers and Tom Sterens was opened almost in October 1993. It was made with a budget of $ 12 million, and it got $ 29,000 at the box office before slipping to the deepest mystery, forever. Fortunately, the film was eventually discovered by the alien adventure on VHS, and its worship began to grow. By the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, “Freaked” was rescued, which made regular manifestations in the midnight film circuit. These days, it is very loved by a wide audience as it will attract. It was never the prevailing. It is very brutal and strange for that. Frankly, I thank the Lord.

While he is there, he and his friend Erney (Michael Stoyanov) discovers, and a bitter protesters named Jolly (Megan Ward) a strange show outside the path managed by the Carnival Ilya C.Note the eccentric Randy Kowid). Nevertheless, it turned out that Skuggs uses the fertilizers mentioned above for physical guests so that they can include them in its program.

“Scary” did not come from anywhere. Those who watch MTV in the early 1990s may have seen it coming. The origins of the film can be seen in a mysterious, angry and violent comedy show, as it created Winter and Testen, wrote, and directed in 1991. The exhibition contains many members of the same work team, such as “scary”, and even holding at least one common personality. This offer also wears an unramatic feeling of humor. He may only remember the most adventure among us the series: MTV’s “The Idiot Box”.

Of course, the winter has achieved a remarkable amount of fame after he starred Sci-Fi Slacker “Bill & Ted’s Adventure” In 1989, which he gave, Stern, and a joint friend named Tim burns the “idiot box” license to MTV. “The Idiot Box” was not the first comic show in MTV, but it was very close. However, the strangest network was so far, taking advantage of the station’s tendency to dismantle chaos.

There was no uniform hypothesis of the “idiot box” other than killing comedy, and sometimes literally. Alex Winter appeared on the camera to present each episode, often attacked and/or killed in the middle. In the first episode of the show, he was seen in a car box, smiling and promising a night of crazy comedy, as the trio stabbed him from the gangsters over and over again. At another introduction, the winter contains a bomb tied on his head, and the “saw” style, unable to remove it before the temporary explodes.

The series will then be reduced to one of its regular drawings. There was “Eddie The Flying G*MP”, which was not nice or heroic as people thought. There was “The Huggins Family”, a comic play in the 1950s, where all the characters had terrifying hidden personality problems, from alcohol addiction to killing pets. “The Battle of the Bands” was a material quarrel between the modern pop band such as Wilson Philips and a fake collection of Toughs called Tribe Boo-Yah. As with all comedy shows drawing, some bits were honey, while others fell. Some are also a little bad age.

After that, each episode will be re -executed by VOTAR, a CGI broadcaster who describes the program you just watched in a computerized voice. The Idiot Box ran for 30 minutes, but half that was, by MTV, which is inhabited by music videos. When calculating videos and commercials, each episode was only about 10 minutes of original materials.

“The Idiot Box” lasted only six episodes, and perhaps very intense for the MTV audience. One can find groups of all the original “IDiot Box” materials online, but it was certainly not supposed to be major. One may need to modify comedies again to a group of music videos to really distort with speed. winter He appeared in talk shows in 1991 To promote the offer, he quietly said that he was supposed to be violent and chaotic, of course, In the tradition of “Monte Bethon Bird” And Bugs Rabbit cartoons.

Although “The Idiot Box” was not a fallen success, it fortunately achieved that another project had been abandoned in winter, Stearn and Burns. The experimental band seems to be the trigger to make a horror film based on the monster with them, for a project that has never met. Through the influence of MTV for “The Idiot Box”, Winter/Stern/Burns movie was re -filmed Butthole Surfers as a slap comedy, in the end in writing a movie called “Hideous Mutant Freekz”. They put the movie to 20th Center Fox, and the company’s president, Joe Roth, loved the Weird-SS project and presented him with a budget of $ 12 million.

As it often happens, though, there was a change in the system in Fox, while “Freekz Freekz” was, the new studio head was hated. The budget has been reduced, and the title has been changed to “scary”. When the film was badly tested (and in fact, no wonder), Fox reduced its existence, and released it only on two screens at the country level. Thus, the film makes only $ 29,000 in the first term.

Strangely, although “The Idiot Box” was short -term and “frightening” it was a failure, but the rapid liberation and chaotic spirit came to influence the MTV style. It is one of the least popular MTV shows, however it may be one of the most important station. Traded stone Even it was called one of the best ever.
