Dr Terrible’s House Of Horrible – Voodoo Feet Of Death (2001)
From Dr Terror to Dr Terrible. The fifth episode of Steve Coogan’s horror film spoof series provided a brief but amusing interlude from feature length Voodoo.
“1930s London: Lester Crown, World Champion ballroom dancer, loses his feet in a freak accident with a pair of giant scissors, only to find his replacement feet are hell bent on murder and mayhem in this tale of voodoo, feet and death.”
Wonderful period recreation and retro filming style in this clourful pastiche/homage of The Hands Of Orlac with a Voodoo slant. One of the dance records is 'Forbidden Love Tango by The Roy Ashton Orchestra". Needless to say there are groanworthy ‘foot’ puns galore, including ‘my feet are killing me’ and the houngan’s taunt ‘You can’t defeat de feet!’ Good fun.
