SCTV, 12/2/78 - COUNT FLOYD'S "WHISPERS OF THE WOLF"

[tsartodd]

"The Virgin Spring" is actually pretty scary -- it inspired "The Last House on the Left," in fact. So Ingmar Bergman could make a scary film if he wanted to.

[majhiggins]

I remember when there used to be hacks almost the same as Count Floyd. They were on local stations, just like SCTV is supposed to be. It was really funny on some of the really low budget ones because sometimes the same movie host dressed up like a vampire on the Saturday p.m. monster movie might be the weather man the rest of the time. Funny as heck! Once in a while, they'de get sandbagged by a turkey like this and it was funny.

[TheGodsuncle]

Absolutely Mind Boggling, your collection of these classic "short films" , as I like to think of them! =]

[guitarran]

Love the character, love the show, thanks for the upload :)

[chalomirof63]

@guitarran Very welcome!

[wowcrap]

Bergman IS scary!

[MsTimetowaste]

OK, first of all: it's not "scary". It's SKEDDDYYY!!! I used to date a guy that reminded me so much of Joe Flaherty. Good looking and funny, but not SKEDDY. Just really talented where it counted...in the kitchen! Made a killer red sauce...Oooohh...that IS sort of skeddy...red sauce...blood...hmmmm. Miss him a lot.

[chalomirof63]

@MsTimetowaste LOL! Cute story, and hope you can at least relive those nice days while watching this one!

[thegreatozz1]

No wonder I am so screwed up. I watched all of this growing up....Howwwwwwwwwwwwooooo.... Now that was scary!!!! Boy the girls were young.

[SilverstoneZED]

@thegreatozz1 LOL, yeah, I thought the same thing. I think I was like 11. I watch this now and it just dawned on me, "Why is Dracula howling like a werewolf?" :-)

[SilverstoneZED]

"Umm… Shrimpkin." Hilarious :-)

[sicilianotoronto]

lol this one has the best howling. I saw this today on Comedy Gold. lol

[chalomirof63]

@sicilianotoronto Comedy Gold? I take it you're up in Toronto, and you're getting this on TV!!?? Lucky duck!!

[keydet72]

I love these guys, they were as good or better than the SNL crew and just a bit below Python. Thanks for posting.

[SufferInJuly]

Ex-Lax = predictable movement!

[marshalle1026]

I just got finished watching "Hour of the Wolf" the film that this skit parodies. I've got to admit, the film was pretty good, but not scary at all.

[seruzawa]

A patient of mine is schizophrenic. Both of him love me.

Excellent Bergman satire.

[MrBasilGanglia]

I am VERY thankful. These are excellent and you are wonderful for doing it.

[chalomirof63]

@MrBasilGanglia - ....and I'm very thankful for your nice comment. Not all of them are! LOL. Cheers, F.

[goback3spaces]

I almost bust a gut when I first saw this as a kid. Remember watching it in bed and was trying to be quiet so as not to disturb my parents. Even then I was an Ingmar Bergman buff, and was able to appreciate the parody. I can't emphasize this enough: almost falling out of your bed laughing is a memory that lasts forever.

[Horsemanray]

What the hell, Andrea Martin was CUTE in this one!!

[izzonj]

My favorite was "Blood Sucking Monkeys from West Miflin, PA."

[TekknoVikking]

I enjoyed this.

I never saw SCTV before, but I remember count Floyd from watching the Ed Grimley cartoon when I was a kid. This is giving me some amazing nostalgia, I think I'll watch some more of this SCTV stuff.

[duckab234]

I love finding stuff that cracked me up when I was 12 on YouTube... love you internet! I'm glad someone else loves this skit enough to upload it (even if the quality is absolutely terrible... no 1080i copies available?)

[chalomirof63]

Absolutely terrible??? Really!? I mean, ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE?? It seems you and "idiocrat" are given to bouts of absolute hyperbole. Looks pretty good to me. But then, I'm not Superman/woman with extra sensitive vision.

[idiocrat]

the quality of this is absolutely terrible....

[chalomirof63]

You're very welcome. So glad you enjoyed watching the video I took the time and effort to upload for people like you to enjoy - even if not flawless.  Cheers!

[chalomirof63]

Oh: I forgot to note that I don't see any uploads from yourself. Interesting.

[Mahanfan]

Great stuff!

[diablonurse]

Scary

[tallguyphl]

Well maybe not so scary. But I promise next week's will be REALLY scary, kids!
