Surely, *surely* the irony is intentional. Otherwise why would you leave that take in the movie rather than reshooting it?

On the other hand, in context... who knows?
I'm willing to believe it was intentional. The tobacco industry was much more powerful back then compared to today. This was barely over 10 years after Lucky Strike cigarettes were the primary sponsor of the Jack Benny Program.

At first I was like 'oh he's coughing because of the cigarettes, people back then', then he literally starting choking and I... just... uuurgggh... Where's our Tar monster film, B-movie makers?

So long, Schlocktober 2014, though I don't think this final offering is more bizarre than the last film if only because they pull the "it was just a dream" card.

If I dreamed that, I would seriously consider checking myself in somewhere.

I kinda want to watch that just for the random director tangents. Man, that last one was hilarious. I almost don't believe it. Like, why didn't they just stop rolling or cut it once he finished the reading the copy?

I hope to God that last part with the director was being ironically funny. Otherwise, this guy just set himself up for a future Darwin Award. ^^;

It's a shame October has come and gone so soon. But we had some great entries to the Schlocktober Hall of Fame. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.

That irony HAD to have been intentional...I mean he had a coughing fit! Anyone who didn't know they were being ironic would have just done a re-shoot (unless they didn't have the budget for that). I think the director knew he was being ironic and that's what makes it funny.

I think the movie is a satire, not meant to be a serious horror flick.

Sweet lord, that was the most perfect sense of Irony I've ever seen. "Chemicals are bad" *coughs and sputters loudly after smoking*.

Are we sure that is just a cig? The "half-chicken serial killer" suggests to me the guy was using more than just tobacco...

There's never been a more perfect case of irony ever, this is just amazing. And for some reason that turkey head grossed me out a lot.

Captcha: fava beans
What?

Wow... patronising, hypocritical, anti-science and "Jesus can totes cure people of stuff"

Yup, that's the nutty religion I remember.

I had heard about it in the past due to a film lecture (http://mondostumpo.blogspot.com.au/2007/11/thats-godsploitation-tim-ormond.html) by the maker of the Search for Weng Weng documentary that also included the movie "If Footmen Tire You, What will horses do?"

"I don't see any candy. I don't taste any candy. There is no candy. Your Jesus didn't bring us any candy."

There are still studios making really bad schlock but they know what side their bread is buttered on and are mainly online streaming these days http://www.fullmoondirect.com/
