After a long period of hunger, it eats a bunch of hippies at once and finally falls asleep, which allows the guy in the painting to speak.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image20\/deathbed2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I guess the final girl who completes the ritual that banishes the bed is Susan, but there&#8217;s also a Sharon and a Diane, and I got them confused.  Susan&#8217;s brother who gets his hands dissolved to bones was later in some proper movies, and the boy in the painting was apparently a famous rock critic, but otherwise everyone here including the movie itself vanished until the cult kids rediscovered it in the 2000&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image20\/deathbed3.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very honestly eccentric movie.
