'The House That Drips Blood on Alex' (2010) - Brock LaBorde & Jared Richard.

While the majority of fright fans tracking down this bemusingly bonkers B-comedy short will no doubt be solely doing so for the laudable lunacy of watching the deliciously skewed Teutonic Thespian Tommy Wiseau manifest his singularly bizarre approach to acting! Whimsically written and directed by Brock LaBorde & Jared Richard, this short, but perfectly formed, ketchup-slathered riff on Amicus/Hammer House of Horror finds the weirdly ingenuous Alex (Tommy Wiseau) guilelessly making a Faustian pact with a magnificently Mephistophelean landlord (my favourite scene!), and not long after moving his meagre affairs into the somewhat inauspicious-looking property on 3 Blood Street, pronounced 'blued street', Alex is promptly anointed in blood spatter, while initially acting oblivious to this malign crimson leakage, his, like, totally concerned bros ardently advise the increasingly distressed Alex to Nancy Drew the cellar to see what gives, dude!...and therein lies the grisly genesis of Alex's sanguinary malaise! There's a pleasingly garish Troma Films/John Waters quality to this horror/comedy short that I found enormously appealing, and the opening scene with the landlord is entirely delicious!
