Death Bed: The Bed That Eats	comment	In 1972, some guy named George Barry got a camera and some film.What happened was Death Bed: The Bed That Eats.In the ruins of an old house, there is a bed. This is not unusual. What is unusual is that this bed is alive. And hungry. Over the years, various people find their way to the house, and when they lie too long on the bed, they are drawn into it and digested, as the soul of an artist (trapped in his last drawing) mocks and taunts it. But when a certain woman finds herself at the house, the artist suspects she might be the key to ending the bed's feasting ways...An incredibly cheesy and bizarre mix of horror, sexploitation, and arthouse, Death Bed was shot in 1972 but a print wasn't struck until 1977. It then disappeared, before being rediscovered in 2003 and released on DVD. It gained a cult following when bootlegs made from a rare UK VHS/Betamax copy of the film began circulating. Director George Barry reportedly forgot about the film before he came across the bootleg found on a horror movie forum.Comedian Patton Oswalt has a famous routine about how this film's eventual release made his writer's block even worse, although he mistakenly refers to the film as Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People.

Death Bed: The Bed That Eats / int_51923571	type	Spinning Paper
Death Bed: The Bed That Eats / int_51923571	comment	Spinning Paper: Part of the bed's backstory is revealed through four editions of The Daily Bugle with headlines reading "Thousands Disappear", "Strange Munching Sounds Heard in Night", "Mayor Demands Action", and "Mayor Disappears". All of these papers are the exact same image except for a different headline, with the same side stories and picture; this either evidence that the film is indeed a Stealth Parody or just a sign of its extremely low budget.

For example, one of the guys loses the skin on his hands, and the remaining bones begin falling apart, and his reaction can best be described as "mild concern".

Instead, his soul was trapped inside of his last work, which hangs on the wall beside it. We get to hear his discussions with the bed. The bed doesn't talk back.
