HERE TO SEE THE UNCLE DAVVER DEMO!! "Deep inside the world famous Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood, California lies a card carrying member of the Legion of the Undead - Local 103. Infesting this important institution of silent silver-screen sensations, is the antithesis of Hollywood's greatest achievements. Moviedom's unwanted children have cowered here to hide from the ridicule of Tinseltown's upper class, and to manifest themselves in the embodiment of a foul mass of abhorrent, lifeless tissue, who rises from his sarcophagus once a week to smother this fine theatre under a dark cloud of sub B grade cinematic cheese. This weekly ritualistic abomination is known as UNCLE DAVVER'S REALLY SCARY MOVIE SHOW!" CLICK HERE for highlights from the tv pilot shoot! CLICK HERE for info about future UD Movie Shows! Designed as a late-night, weekend comedy show, "Uncle Davver's Really Scary Movie Show" combines elements of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and your favorite nostalgic TV horror hosts. It morphs public domain B horror and sci-fi films, with sketch comedy, celebrity guests and musical parodies. From 2001 to 2003, actor/voice-over artist Wally Wingert hosted 12 private movie parties he called "Wally's Screening Room," at the Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood. "Uncle Davver's Really Scary Movie Show" is loosely based on those highly successful parties, and utilizes the immense and unique following Wingert's gatherings have developed. Most of Wingert's guests were other actors, comedians, voice-over artists, musicians, producers, and improvisationalists. They screened a variety of "so-good-they're-bad" films, and the quick-witted audience would shout out off-the-cuff, humorous comments. Soon, many guests were flooding to the parties just to hear the hilarious running audience commentary. The
next logical step for these parties was TV. In addition to seeing the bad B films
on television, several cameras and microphones would be present in the theatre
to capture the audience's interaction and comedic commentary. Plus, heading in
and out of commercial breaks, there will be prepared sketches, songs and surprises.
Like the films they screen, the show has a charmingly cheesy feel, The character of Uncle Davver is a composite of many old-time TV horror show hosts, formerly from shows like "Creature Feature." CLICK HERE for the whole story! He's clad in a ratty tuxedo tailcoat, beat up Converse tennies, and his trademark silver skull bolo tie with red rhinestone eyes. His ghastly blue face features a turned-up, skull-like nose and bulging eyes. His green hair is matted into wads of long dreadlocks (or "deadlocks"). His voice is a little Krusty the Clown, a little Beetlejuice, and a little Beavis all thrown together. CLICK HERE to see the Uncle Davver Makeup Processs! Uncle
Davver maintains his existence as a card-carrying member of the Legion of the
Undead - Local 103 in the upper room of Hollywood's Silent Movie Theatre. Once
a week he springs from his cardboard coffin to an opening theme that sounds like
an illegitimate child Danny Elfman and Rob Zombie created together during a clumsy,
inebriated tryst. His guests include Zomb-E; a zombi-fied Elvis wanna-be who offers short parody songs, Humongous Jimmy; a seven foot, green-faced jovial gent who serves as the party's bouncer, Emily Blunt; a movie critic who offers her professional opinions on the evening's movie, Pierre LeFreak; an annoying, sawed-off, chain-smoking pipsqueak, Vampirate; a hybrid of an undead bloodsucker and swashbuckling buccaneer, The Snack Hag; a witchy looking woman who runs the snack bar, and in a grating yenta-like voice, tries to guilt the customers out of buying unhealthy snacks, and more great characters.

to
properly pay homage to the old local TV midnight horror shows. Headstones are
styrofoam, spider-webs are leftovers from Halloween, and the sets are flimsy and
minimal.
He
introduces the audience to his 3 Davverettes, (Elizadeath Taylor, Ghoulia Roberts
& Bone Crawford) scantily-clad, heartily-built background dancers who are
gorgeous (except for their decaying faces)! It's not uncommon for Uncle Davver
to break into spontaneous song and dance.
Each
week, the writing staff would preview the featured movie and create a wealth of
verbal jabs that would appear to be spontaneous improvisation during the taping
of the show. The "well rehearsed ad-libs" would be given to several
voice-over artists who yell the comments in a variety of voices, making it appear
that the entire audience is joining in on the jabs. The audience would fill in
the ambience with laughs, cheers, jeers and applause.
