Qui a peur du diable?

I am not a huge fan of Fred Olan Ray's movies, but I find this one actually quite entertaining--in a warped way. The acting is horrifyingly bad. The special effects are not much to be desired. The plot is non-existent...Yet I am strangely fascinated every time I watch this little video. It isn't even because there are so many naked girls randomly running around. There's something weirdly exotic about seeing cartoon characters killing real life people. This movie is like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" meets "Slumber Party Massacre." This is a cult classic. B+

Roxanne (porn star Madison Stone), Jan (porn star Barbara Dare), Terry (Suzanne Ager), and nerdy Megan (Monique Gabrielle) are hired by Burt (Dick Miller) to spend a weekend cleaning up an old house. You know Megan is the nerdy one because she wears glasses. Anyway, they are delivered a Necronomicon looking book by Gideon Fisk (David Carradine) and, after an incantation is read aloud, a cartoon wolf creature springs forth and starts killing folks. Leave it to Fred Olen Ray to call his film EVIL TOONS, yet only have one cartoon in it with only roughly a minute of animated footage to boot. WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT this ain't. This is deliberately goofy stuff and it serves its purpose (topless scenes) for its 82 minutes. The funniest bits are nearly all from Miller, including a scene where he DOESN'T want to get it on with his horny wife (Michelle Bauer). Carradine probably only shot one day on this for drug money and Ray hilariously cuts to reaction shots of him to make you think he is just chilling outside. See David Carradine slink behind a tree! Helping beef up the "name" factor is Arte Johnson as a perv neighbor. It is filmed at that same recognizable house where Ray also did TEENAGE EXORCIST and SPIRITS. Wynorski also did SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II there.

Face it, Evil Toons was never conceived as Oscar material. It's a deftly crafted spoof on every B & C horror movie made in the last 50 years. You have your typical Blonde, Brunette & Redhead with their brainy friend (she's the one with the glasses, natch) bimbos who get a job cleaning out an old house. They find an evil object, release a nasty spirit and get killed off in ways that reflect who they are. Then your cameo (David Carridine) comes in and tells the surviving (smart) one how to repair the damage, and everything comes up roses. Looked at it this way, you have a quickie shoot transformed into a masterful spoof. I loved it, you will to, if you don't take it too seriously!

A bizarre 'B' movie offering from the evergreen Fred Olen Ray. Here we have a horror/tits n'ass movie, combining live action with animation, as seen in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (1988).

The story has four girls employed as cleaners (!!) staying in a spooky old house for the weekend to tidy things up for the new owners. Three of them are good-time girls with 'big' hair and cut-off denim shorts - the foursome made up by the obligatory bespectacled square, played by soft-core porn actress Monique Gabrielle.

The film is low-brow to say the least, but its quite well-made with a reasonable dose of entertainment value. There are lots of breasts on display, particularly Monique's which are quite fantastic, and the film has a self-mocking tone which helps maintain the sense of fun - one girl asks - "Why do these things always have to start with young beautiful co-eds going into the basement?"

David Carradine tries to give the film a star name, but he wanders aimlessly around as some bloke from years ago who got involved with a cursed book, which the girls then find. This unleashes a sexually frustrated cartoon demon which proceeds to stalk the female flesh on display.

60's Corman stalwart Dick Miller puts in an appearance, and proceedings meander along until the script gives up the ghost. For 'B' movie fans 'Evil Toons' has a surprisingly lot to offer. Production values are good and everything gives the impression of having been made by people whose passion for their work is strong.

BEST SCENE - Roxanne's strip dance is good, but Megan's topless scene in front of the mirror is out of the top drawer.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently to have a glimpse of the beautiful buxom Monique Gabrielle. Her busty tits made a lasting impression on my young teen mind then. To be honest, this film doesn't have a single scary scene or any good kill, it's not even comedic at all except for Dick Miller's scene where he keeps on saying boy o boy... And I don't kno why the character of David Carradine kept on flicking his cloak. The film is about a cartoon monster which comes out alive a la Cellar Dweller n terrorizes hot babes in a haunted mansion. Of course, it shouldn't be taken seriously.

Watch out for Monique Gabrielle's nude scene in front of the mirror n the shapely Madison Stone's strip dance. As a gym trainer, I am really impressed with Madison's shapely body, especially her glutes.
