Horror doesn't shudder anymore

to anyone who can live through the
night.
Terminal ’40s fall guy Elisha Cook
Jr. (the scrawny guy who gets kil led in
“The Maltese Falcon”) is a gloomy
drunk who once spent the night there
and saw his family kill each other off.
A skeleton emerges from a vat of acid
in the cellar and scares Price’s schcrn
ing wife to death. Cheesiness never
had it so good. From the man who
brought you “The Tingler.”
“Eraserhead” (1978) Directed
by David Lynch.
In the future, in some industrial
hellhole city somewhere, a bizarre
guy with a pile of hair higher than
Little Richard’s marries an equally
horrendous-looking woman on the
other side of town. He and her family
dine on slime-filled chicken breasts.
She gives birth to a lizard baby. When
he looks in the radiator, he sees a
leprous dancing woman. Music from
Fats Waller plays. I still don’t know
what it means and if you tell me you
do, I v/on’t believe you. Nightmarish
and excruciating on all counts. Still a
midnight movie/cult favorite. Next
time it shows at S hcldon, stand outside
and count how many teen-age viewers
arc on LSD. Yes, it’s that kind of
movie. Happy Halloween.

Band keeps special sound

It all began innocently enough.
Three or four years ago in Redlands,
Calif., a few nice young men got to
gether in a band, played a few acoustic
versions of their favorite hard-core
songs and generally entertained them
selves with good clean fun. Knowing,
however, that almost everything be
ginning as innocent fun has the polen

tial to end with someone’s eye being
put out, they discontinued that dan
gerous practice right away. They
named themselves Camper Van
Beethoven, started writing their own
songs and arc now on a U.S. tour.
The group will play in the Centen
nial Ballroom in the Nebraska Union
on Nov. 11, sponsored by the Campus
Activities and Programs Office.
Tickets are now on sale and avail
able at all Pickles and Dirt Cheap
Record stores, Younkers ticket outlets
in Lincoln, Homer’s Records in
Omaha and both Nebraska unions.
Cost is $4.50 with student ID, $5
without.
Now living in Santa Cruz, Calif.,
Camper Van Beethoven are still
making their own kind of scrio-dcad
pan eclectic political-romantic anti
political-romantic music. Their sound
contains a mixture of everything from
polka to Russian folk music with a
heavy dose of rock V roll.
Their first album, 1985N “Tele
phone Free Landslide Victory,” came
as a welcome shock to a constipated
music industry stifled with the confor
mity it pretended to oppose.
Releasing “Take The Skinheads
Bowling” as the album’s first single,
the band basically laughed in the face
of the very audience that conventional
wisdom dictated they were supposed
to covet, being one of “those alterna
tive bands” and all, and served notice
that any efforts to pigeonhole the
band, musically or lyrically, was a
wasted effort
Two albums and an EP ol B-sides
later, it is still impossible to pigeon
hole the band’s sound.
