Tagline(s):

Lost Horror Film of the Seventies

Nomination Year: 2023

SYNOPSIS: Okay, so there's this bed, right? And it was possessed by a demon, and the demon became the bed. And the bed can eat anyone or anything placed on it. By "eat," I mean he/she/it finds itself suddendly submerged into a foamy yellow acid bath and gets dissolved. The narrator of the piece is the ghost of an artist whom the bed dissolved about a hundred years ago and now haunts a painting (one of his) in the room. Three young women happen upon the bed one day. Will one of them finally lead to the Death Bed's destruction?

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Look, Ma, No Hands! Sharon's brother comes up with a brilliant plan--to STAB the Bed with a knife. As if it wouldn't just absorb...well, you can guess the rest. It dissolves not only the knife, but his hands. And he ends up sitting around like a dummy with this pair of skeleton hands....	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

"Let's Up The Rating To 'R'"
Cross-Cut First, the Bed gets her naked (of course). Then, it uses the chain of her cross to saw her neck! Finally, it gets around to dissolving her.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
