Death Bed: The Bed That Eats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is a 1977 one-off horror film written, produced, and directed by George Barry.

The film was not officially released until 2003, and in the introduction to the DVD edition, Barry claims to have essentially forgotten he had made it. It now has considerable cult status.

Comedian Patton Oswalt discusses the film extensively (repeatedly misnaming it "Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People") on his album Werewolves and Lollipops, parodying it with the fictional sequel "Rape Stove: The Stove That Rapes People".

[edit] Plot

A large, black, four-poster bed, possessed by a demon, is passed from owner to owner. Those who come into contact with the bed are frequently consumed by it (victims are pulled into what is apparently a large chamber of digestive fluids beneath the sheets).

A running commentary or chorus is supplied by the ghost — if that is the correct word — of an artist (who would appear to be Aubrey Beardsley, though this is never stated directly) trapped behind a painting on the wall.
