"Oliver's Twisted Bargain Basement Midnight Movie Stoner Friendly Freak Show" is a hosted horror movie show with Chris McCabe as "Oliver" as host. Originally seen on YouTube, expanding to be seen on Vimeo and Roku channels BizarreTV, UltraToxicTV, GetScaredTV, and The Grindhouse Channel. "Oliver" is assisted by "Horse Head Ed", "Albert Fish", "Shadow Stevens" and "Offensio The Obscene". From the official Facebook page: Oliver's Twisted Bargain Basement Midnight Movie Stoner Friendly Freak Show is The Screaming Mime Theater's most depraved creation! With a title so long even the late Linda Lovelace would call it “a mouthful”, and a budget so small starving children in Africa should start sending us money, this viewers back to those glorious pre-cable days before infomercials and 24 hour broadcasting, when the last stop on the cathode ray highway was the late, late movie! Usually they were locally taped public access type productions, featuring amateur actors dressed in shoddy Frankenstein's monster costumes in dollar store furnished laboratories, or Dracula clones reciting corny one-liners from inside their cardboard coffins as dry ice fog obscures styrofoam tombstones. They'd perform loosely scripted comic bits between commercial breaks for notoriously awful movies, with titles like The Crawling Eye and The Screaming Skull; flicks that needed a little extra nudge to trick viewers into watching them for the umpteenth time. But the movies themselves were never really the point. It was the camaraderie we in the audience felt with these misplaced thespians, who did their very best week after week to make something entertaining out of the unwatchable. The fun came not from the feature presentation, but from these often unsung heroes of the UHF void who cleverly polished cinematic turds and somehow convinced a loyal few to come back for seconds and thirds. Every nightmare needs a top-rate ghoul, and who better to host our fledgling creep show than the Screaming Mime Theater's resident serial killer, Oliver? Together with his cast of cohorts including Two Guys Watching Porn's dog reporter Shadow Stevens, show announcer Albert Fish (who sounds remarkably like TGWP's producer Barry Schwartzenhymen), and Oliver's chemically dependent sidekick, Horse Head Ed, the show promises to, at the very least, keep you scratching your head as this train wreck occurs before your very eyes! It's a show that features everything future burnouts could hope for: rubber masks, bad CGI, Oedipal complexes, drug references, and action figure nudity! And only the best of the worst horror, sci-fi, and exploitation available (in the Public Domain). Portrait of "Oliver" by Bradley Beard. "Oliver" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page)" If you don't like the name of his show, it's probably better not to tell him. Today I present Oliver, host of Oliver's Twisted Bargain Basement Midnight Movie Stoner Friendly Freak Show which premiered on YouTube in February in 2014 and can currently be seen on Vimeo and Roku channels BizarreTV, UltraToxicTV, GetScaredTV, and The Grindhouse Channel. Even though Oliver tends to walk down life's psycho path, his dark desires are quelled when he hosts horror movies; he slices them up instead. Horse Head Ed is Oliver's sidekick and they're joined by the denizens of the Screaming Mime Theatre. It's Fish-headed announcer Albert Fish who introduces viewers to the twisted world of Oliver. Oliver's nimble tongued ramblings divert his viewer's attention as he leads them on a psychotic scenic tour of his scarred psyche. So if you choose to pay Oliver a visit, it's probably better not to go alone. The following are some clips from the show: Oliver's Twisted Bargain Basement Midnight Movie Stoner Friendly Freak Show (clips) from The Professor on Vimeo.
