 | Weird and obscure 1970s comedy horror, in which the main character is a corpse in a coffin. Arnold, the stiff, marries his girlfriend Karen, much to the dismay of his relatives. Thus the scene is set for Arnold's money grabbing relatives to gather around the newlyweds, in an attempt to get their hands on his money. Unfortunately someone has other ideas, and the relatives start dying in the most ludicrous and inventive ways. Arnold was a production of the short lived Bing Crosby Productions, who managed to knock out some of the worst b-movies ever. Arnold in particular stands out as a bizarre little gem. A weird campy schlock dark comedy horror farce, a kind of pre-slasher murder movie with a dead protagonist. From the opening song to the dark ending, Arnold is a gobsmacking piece of cinema, that will leave you equally amused, bemused and confused. With a star studded cast of TV stars, and b-movie actors, that included Jamie Farr, Roddy McDowall and Stella Stevens. |
| Arnold is a movie that'll leave you confused as to what you just watched. Is it a so-bad-it's-good movie? One thing Arnold certainly is, it's a movie that'll leave you wondered what the hell did I just watch. And for that alone, it's well worth digging up, dusting off, and giving a go. Director Georg Fenady and his producer brother Andrew J. Fenady shot this film back-to-back with "Terror in the Wax Museum," with some of the same actors. | |
