What was supposed to be a quiet matinee ended up with butler Aldous wearing the cowboy hat of Buffalo Bill Cody, and being possessed by that frontier showman! Although in some accounts, it was simply mercury poisoning. Anyway, the antics continued with an unlicensed exorcism, and Texan Elliot grabbing the hat… and wearing it into a Tong Bar. They didn’t appreciate Bill’s gratitude for building the railroad. Then: fisticuffs.The second half of our screening was the amazing adventure Terror in Tinseltown. (Elliot had to step out so it was just three players against a La La Land conspiracy.)A blow-by-blow account of the mystery would be extensive, so let’s stick to the highlights:Dr. Hazoul’s interrogation techniques, which led to him kissing the leading man on a forbidden jungle temple set. It’s fine though, the actor was ‘totally straight’.JP explained the difference between a fork and a three-pronged snakebite. “The tines of a fork are in a row, so you don’t stab yourself in the mouth.”And the finale. Great boxed text.The trio called on all their willpower not to be hypnotized. Hazoul didn’t want to damage the only light source…So he simply removed the film from the camera!Even with tagalong Ava Astor’s help, the fight was at a standstill. She got bit by a poisonous snake… and it was hard to brawl with the villains’ goons, certified stuntmen!Hazoul had another brilliant idea, exposing the electrical wiring, as JP led the giant snake over it. There was a bang, a sizzle, and a smell of charbroiled meat… but when everyone opened their eyes, the villains had escaped. Luckily, leading lady Lily was rescued, and the players had nothing to do but cure a snake bite, get the actress to a hospital, and negotiate the movie rights. They could name it something catchy, like “Horror in Hollywood!”</blockquote>
