10 Most Ridiculous Monster Movies Of All Time
6. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)
How on Earth does someone make a serious movie with that title? Po-faced and over earnest, this would-be art film tells the story of a demon who somehow transformed into a four-poster bed capable of eating human beings by sucking them inside and digesting them with flesh-stripping gastric juices. After each “meal”, the bed spits out the bones and belches loudly.
Got that? There’s more: the movie is narrated by one of the bed’s first victims, who is now stuck in limbo behind a painting on the wall, forced to listen to the bed snoring and feasting for the rest of eternity. We also learn what the bed is ‘thinking’ – whenever a potential victim appears, we hear excited heavy breathing on the soundtrack.
The victims are hippy chicks and stoner dudes who think nothing of sleeping in a bed stored in a stone crypt in the middle of nowhere, little realizing that this one has super powers – it can open/close doors, light fires and even manages to decapitate one unfortunate with the gold chain around her neck.
Strangely, writer/director George Barry never made another movie.
