BENEDICTINE THE MAD MONK

PHIL VALENTINE - "BENEDICTINE THE MAD MONK"
? - "RED"

"Benedictine the Mad Monk" was a hosted horror movie show with Phil Valentine as "Benedictine - The Mad Monk" screened on Friday nights on WZTV Channel 17 in Nashville for about three weeks during 1989. Benedictine was assisted by "Red Skeleton" who screened the movies. From Rotten Ink web page: Benedictine the Mad Monk hosted horror films on WZTV Nashville Ch17 on Friday nights for a total of about 3 weeks. He is said to have gone mad and killed all his fellow monks and lived underground for centuries with his friend Red who is a skeleton with a red afro wig. For years he spent his time making wine in his cellar home and watched cheesy horror movies. But Benedictine’s perfect peaceful life comes to an end when the TV station WZTV was built on top of his wine cellar. So he does what he thinks is right and on Friday nights highjacks the airwaves and to show the films that he wanted to and generally be a thorn in the TV station’s side. Benedictine himself was kind of a crazed jokester who seems to enjoy sharing his movies with you and also likes to make and drink his wine. He has a bald head on top with long white hair on the sides. He also wears a brown monk’s robe with a rope belt. While he does not come off mean spirited, he clearly is not stable as he has killed off his fellow monks and also seems prone to fits of madness. So as you can see, Benedictine is a crazed wine making madman whose only friend is a wig wearing skeleton and one of his enjoyments in life is high jacking TV airwaves and sharing horror movies on the air. The following are some clips from the show: Benedictine the Mad Monk (clips).mp4 from The Professor on Vimeo.
