Turtle, turtle! Dana Carvey confirmed that he was dressed as Master of Disguise’s Turtle Man for an impromptu 9/11 prayer on the set.
There are a number of films that anecdotally have links to the tragedy of the September 11th attacks: Spider-Man’s teaser was pulled due to showing the Twin Towers; Spike Lee’s 25th Hour was the first film to even acknowledge the attacks; a True Lies sequel was outright canceled. And then, of course, there’s The Master of Disguise, the movie where Dana Carvey dressed up as a turtle.
On a recent episode of his and David Spade’s podcast Fly on the Wall (which we highly recommend for Saturday Night Live buffs and people who can’t get enough of Carvey’s 30+-year-old George Bush impression), the comedian confirmed that the cast and crew of The Master of Disguise held a moment of silence and prayer for the victims of 9/11…except Dana Carvey was still in his Turtle Man garb. “We took an appropriate time off and went back to shooting and I was playing–if you’ve seen the movie, kids–the Turtle Man, with a bald cap and a weird thing on my lip and a big green shell outfit…I was in [the costume] all that day and then they said, ‘We’re going to have a group prayer about 9/11.’ And I couldn’t get the thing–I would’ve held everyone for a half hour getting all that prosthetic makeup off–so, as I remember it, everyone else was [wearing] civilian clothes, I’m dressed as the Turtle Man, with a bald head, and I’m holding hands and I’m lowering my head and praying and I just thought at the moment: ‘This is very strange.’”
Stranger still is the Turtle Man’s legacy, if we want to call it that. The Master of Disguise may hold a 1% on Rotten Tomatoes and be considered one of the worst movies ever made, but Dana Carvey’s Turtle Man character is unforgettable. We’re not saying that’s a good thing, but if you saw the TV spots even once, you know the line, “Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle!” Fortunately, Carvey would rather give us Wayne’s World 3 than The Master of Disguise 2.
Have you seen The Master of Disguise? Why do you think Dana Carvey’s turtle character has endured in its own strange little way?
The episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw covering The Fear was Written by Andrew Hatfield, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Edited by Paul Bookstaber, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Not every horror movie needs a recognizable slasher villain like Jason or Freddy to be an enjoyable watch. Sometimes, you just need the right type of oddball ingredients to catch lightning in a bottle and even then, there is no guarantee that your movie ends up in that upper echelon of hidden gem horror. Today’s movie, The Fear from 1995, had such a limited release and was overlooked by so many at the time that there is a good chance it’s the best horror movie you’ve never even heard of! While it’s lacking in a few areas, there are a couple things that make it unique and special enough to cross it off your list and help get it the attention it deserves.
The ’90s was an odd time in horror. It had an identity crisis that we hadn’t seen from the genre in a while. The ’70s and ’80s had their own themes of post-war nihilism followed by outright rebellion but the ’90s had more of a “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” approach. We had off kilter entries into many of our mainline slashers from Michael to Chucky, Jason, Freddy, Leatherface and Pinhead. It got some real roots, for better and for worse, when Scream came out and made a statement. Unfortunately, that statement created rules and we had clones like we hadn’t seen since the first few years of the slasher craze. There was a lot to like too and a lot of original and off the wall ideas that, even if they weren’t done perfectly, created an interesting and fun look into something new.
Today’s movie falls under the latter. The acting is okay. There aren’t any huge name actors, except for one that we will get to later, and the writers and director aren’t names you probably recognize off the top of your head. It does, however, have one really neat angle that comes out of nowhere and is unsettling enough to keep you on edge even when the movie falls apart a little towards the end. The Fear was released in a limited theatrical release in January of 1995. So limited, in fact, that it only got into about a dozen theaters nationwide before being put on Laser Disc, VHS, and eventually a bare bones DVD. It did decent, though put up against bigger blockbuster films even with its very indie roots.
The movie follows psychology student Richard Strand, who is working on his thesis on fear. He has a group of friends and other college students out to his family cabin to try something called fear therapy. Once they arrive at the cabin, they find the star of the movie and the main reason to give this movie a whirl: Morty, a human sized wooden mannequin, was a toy that Richard remembers playing with and having at the cabin as a kid. He has recently shown up in his nightmares that he doesn’t quite understand, so he uses Morty as a stand-in psychiatrist for the group to tell all their fears to.
While at first appearing to be a standard mannequin in a wooden themed build, you’ll find yourself squinting to see if this unsettling creature has moved at all on its own during the scenes. As time goes by you’ll catch the very human and very much alive eyes looking at you almost through the camera and is it ever a sight. One that you won’t soon forget, even after the movie is over. Morty even gets his own VERY ’90s rap theme called ‘Morty’s Song” that, regrettably, also won’t leave your head any time soon.
The movie was executive produced by Greg Simms, who also gets a story credit, as he wanted to turn his fear of dolls and mannequins into an independent horror movie. Simms had been in the producing realm for some time already, having been behind movies like Return to Horror High and To Die For. He contacted Ron Ford to write the script and tapped Vincent Robert to direct. Robert has only this movie to his name as a director, but would go on to be a writer for lots of episodic TV shows in the 2010s. He knew Simms from a previous project and was happy to be able to direct. For Ford, this was his first directorial effort, and it would lead to 35 more credits spread across 3 decades. He is also a writer and actor that has appeared in over 70 projects.
The rest of the cast has some veterans and well-known faces of the ’90s. Ann Turkel, who plays Leslie in the movie, started her career way back in 1968 with a role in the Alan Alda-led Paper Lion, but may be best known to horror fans as Dr. Susan Drake in Roger Corman’s Humanoids from the Deep. The other veteran actor is Emmy-nominated Vince Edwards in his last screen performance. Edwards made his name in film noir starting in the late ’40s and was brought in as Uncle Pete after working with Simms almost a decade prior in Return to Horror High.
The rest of the cast includes recognizable ’90s faces like Stacey Edwards, Monique Mannen, Darin Heams, and Heather Medway to fill out the cabin dwellers. Maybe the oddest actor in the ensemble is Wes Craven, yeah THAT Wes Craven, who shows up in the beginning and ending as Richard’s professor. Producer Simms had known him for a bit, as they used the same directory of photography on a couple movies. Craven was very interested in fear and what it did to the human psyche and agreed to play the small part of the professor. He had never acted in front of the camera, apart from cameos in his own movies and a bit part in Body Bags, and was interested in seeing the process.
The main plot of the movie is the characters confessing their fears to Morty the doll as an exercise in fear therapy, only to be killed off one by one. Sometimes in ways having to do with their fear and other times just with symbols around it, much like a tertiary prediction of a tarot card reading. The film has two other plots as well. There is a rapist at the college they attend and when the act occurs at the retreat, they realize one of them must be the perpetrator. A THIRD plot involves the death of Richard’s mother and the mystery surrounding it. While the other two plots are unnecessary and don’t quite feel fleshed out, it is very ambitious for a first time screenwriter and director to fit all of that into an independent film.
Before the murders start to happen, eerie occurrences happen that involve Morty like when he shows up outside of bedrooms during private moments or in a jacuzzi where the girl has a fear of drowning and everyone assumes someone from the group is playing pranks on them. Even after the first of the deaths occur, it seems like it’s one of the group, like most slasher movies would be. When one of the friends is possessed by Morty and he completely turns alive, it’s a sequence that will make your skin crawl. While the tension falls off when Morty becomes fully alive, the build up is a glorious example of meeting and exceeding audience expectations.
The last third of the film becomes part slasher film, with Morty going after the remaining students, and part detective story, with the identity of the rapist being revealed and the story behind Richard’s mother being explained. The actor behind Morty is Erick Weiss. Weiss is a contortionist who moved to Hollywood to make a name for himself and ended up with another mannequin role in 1991 with Mannequin: On the Move. That would lead to a handful of TV roles before he was seen in a play by the producers, who thought he would be great as Morty. The movie ends with Richard telling Morty that his fears are gone. Without fear, Morty goes off into the lake to wait for the next scared person. In this case it happens to be a little boy that asks if he is a good guy or a bad guy with the only reply an unnerving smile from Morty.
The shoot went well for everyone involved, except for the director, who said he was put through hell with the grueling nature of being a director. He did admit this was because of the lofty expectations he put on himself. Craven had a great time being an actor for a day and was a delight on set, while Ann Turkel said it was the nicest experience she had on set of any movie she made. Two of the actors started dating and eventually got married, while Eddie Bowz and Darrin Heams became best friends during the making of the movie.
While the movie came and went, the character of Morty resonated enough that producer Simms backed a sequel called The Fear: Resurrection in 1999. Also called The Fear: Halloween Night, the movie was directed by Wishmaster3 and 4 director Chris Angel and has Mrs. Voorhees herself Betsy Palmer in a role, along with Gordon Curie of the Puppet Master movies. It leans harder into the Native American-made aspect of the totem and loses much of what made the first one special, especially with someone new designing and playing Morty. This one is worth your time only if you want a later ’90s version of basically the same story. Good luck too, as it’s harder to find than its predecessor.
The Fear floats in and out of streaming services like Tubi but was also put on Blu-Ray by Vinegar Syndrome in 2021. Not only does this version look great and come with two commentaries and a making of documentary, but it is also the fully uncut version. Unfortunately, after the movie went to DVD, many of the gore and nudity elements were taken out for some reason. This is the definitive way to experience this hidden gem and Morty deserves to be more than a Best Horror Movie You Never Saw. Definitely check this one out…. but maybe double check for mannequins first.

Whittier Street Health Center, a community health center with a mission to serve as a center of excellence that provides high quality and accessible health care and social services that achieve health equity, social justice, and the economic well-being of a diverse patient population, honored David Long, executive chairman of Liberty Mutual Insurance, at its Annual Roast Gala held on April 6 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
This signature fundraising event shines a light on city standout business leaders and philanthropists, blending sincere gratitude with lighthearted jests. Long was celebrated by Frederica M. Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center, for "his legacy of good." Over $1 million was raised during the evening, which serves as critical financial support for Whittier to provide equitable access to high-quality healthcare and social services to patients regardless of their ability to pay.
The evening, embracing a sports theme in recognition of Long's love of soccer, was "refereed" by Karen Holmes Ward, director of public affairs and community services at WCVB and host and executive producer of "CityLine." Roasters of Long included Liberty Mutual President and CEO Timothy Sweeney, last year's honoree Joseph R. Nolan of Eversource Energy, Frank Doyle of Cornell Limited Partnership, and the honoree's brother, Steve Long. John Kim, founder and managing partner of Brewer Lane Ventures, served as video presenter.
As executive chairman of Liberty Mutual Insurance, the sixth-largest global property and casualty insurer, Long leads the company's board of directors, overseeing corporate activities and evaluating performance on behalf of Liberty Mutual stakeholders. Long began his career with the company in 1985. He was elected chief executive officer in 2011 and served in this role until December 2022.
As the company's leader, Long shaped Liberty Mutual into the sixth-largest property and casualty insurer in the world, growing it into a $49 billion organization ranked number 78 on the Fortune 100. Throughout his time, Long also shepherded his company's philanthropy, workplace culture, and efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. He quadrupled Liberty Mutual's charitable giving, supported the creation of Liberty Torchbearers, provided support for those on the autism spectrum to achieve success, and partnered with nonprofit leaders.
"David Long is a very special man. Over his four-decade career, he has fought for health equity, workplace equity, equal opportunity, and inclusion in every setting. He truly believes in these ideals and, more importantly, he has used his position and his power to make them happen.
"We are so grateful to all who came out to recognize David and support our organization during the gala, and to everyone who made the event possible through their hard work and commitment," Williams continued.

The trailer for Across the Spider-verse surpassed the highest-viewed Marvel and DC trailers to become the most watched of the summer.
The trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse only dropped two days ago, but it has already become the most-viewed trailer for the franchise, the highest-viewed second trailer for any recent Marvel film in a 24-hour period, and the highest-viewed superhero trailer of the summer. Deadline reports that the new trailer for the anticipated sequel to the 2018 animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse has surpassed that of popular superhero trailers for this summer’s blockbusters, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s 116.9 million views and The Flash‘s 81.6 million views in the first 24-hours with 148.6 million views.
The second trailers for movies usually reveal more in terms of plot and action to give a clearer picture of what the movie contains. And superhero blockbuster sequels are always a huge draw for audiences. Across the Spider-verse also became the highest-viewed second trailer of recent Marvel outings and beat out the likes of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which garnered 121.6 million views, Thor: Love and Thunder, which would generate 98.1 million views, the much-anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which collected 84.8 million views, and this year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which tallied in at 83.8 million views.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse became a runaway hit for Sony and Marvel when they brought the story of Miles Morales‘ incarnation of Spider-Man to the big screen for the first time and dabbled in the multiverse before the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Across the Spider-verse is the middle part of a planned trilogy. It sees the return of the original’s cast, including Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson, as well as a bevy of additions, including characters Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, played by Oscar Isaac, Hobie Brown, aka Spider-Punk, played by Daniel Kaluuya, and Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman, played by Issa Rae.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are the film’s writers, alongside Dave Callaham. For this installment, Lord, Miller, Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, and Christina Steinberg will be pulling producing duties. In addition, Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, Aditya Sood, Rodney Rothman, Rebecca Karch, and Brian Bendis are on board as executive producers.

Leona Valley Recovery Center, a California addiction rehab and detox treatment center, creates customized treatment plans to meet the needs of their patients. April is "National Stress Awareness Month." During this month and all others, trained professionals at Leona Valley Recovery Center incorporate stress management into patients' treatment plans.
Therapeutic approaches employed by Leona Valley Recovery Center counselors include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioral Modification (ABA), Integrated Change Therapy (ICT), as well as motivational therapies and others.
All of these are, in some way, designed to help patients to be able to better manage the stress that occurs in their lives, to be able to suppress it as a trigger for negative thoughts, addiction struggles, and so forth.
According to the National Institutes of Health, "April is recognized as National Stress Awareness Month to bring attention to the negative impact of stress. Managing stress is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. Knowing how to manage stress can improve mental and physical well-being as well as minimize exacerbation of health-related issues."
"Stress isn't something that can be eliminated entirely from life. That wouldn't be good, as it would lead to problems with motivation, quality of life, and even happiness. The goal of stress management is to be able to keep stress at levels that can be managed, to keep stress from overtaking your life in an unhealthy way. In our stress management treatments, we work with our patients to realize, among many other things, that negative stress isn't necessarily caused by what we think are the traditional sources, but rather, how we react and interpret what's happening to us, what's happening around us. By learning to better manage stress, we can all learn to better manage not just our addiction and mental health, but our lives as well," said Hai Nguyen, Chief Operations Officer of Leona Valley Recovery Center.
Leona Valley Recovery Center is a six-bedroom residential treatment facility more than an hour's drive northeast of Los Angeles. Designed intentionally to be a departure from traditional treatment facilities, Leona Valley Recovery Center specifically centers a combination of evidence-based therapies and holistic treatments.

Oncolyze, which already holds an Orphan Drug Designation for its lead drug candidate OM-301 in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is pleased to announce that the FDA has just granted OM-301 its second Orphan Drug Designation, for multiple myeloma.
There are approximately 35,000 cases of multiple myeloma yearly in the U.S. The five-year survival rate for multiple myeloma is about 50%. Resistance to therapy is the primary challenge associated with relapse and recurrence of multiple myeloma, especially in elderly patients. The mainstays of treatment have been agents that affect the immune system, such as Revlimid® (BMS) used in combination with the generic corticosteroid dexamethasone. The prescribing of proteasome inhibitors such as Kyprolis® (Amgen / Ono) and Ninlaro® (Takeda), along with the emergence of novel drugs such as Darzalex® (Genmab / Janssen), is having an impact on treatment choices in the third-line setting.
Research has shown that OM-301 is effective against multiple myeloma. In vitro, OM-301 was effective against eight multiple myeloma cell lines including p53 mutated and null cell lines, and it prolonged survival in an in vivo proof of concept study.
Oncolyze has recently launched a Regulation A+ ("Reg A+") funding campaign to finance the company through the FDA pathway and to clinical trials; the company is spreading awareness of OM-301 among cancer patients, healthcare professionals, and the investment community. Regulation A+ is a type of offering that allows anyone to invest in Oncolyze and receive shares in the company. The investment opportunity is being hosted by StartEngine and investments may be made in Oncolyze directly by visiting the StartEngine website. Potential investors can also learn more about the investment opportunity at the Oncolyze website.
ABOUT ONCOLYZE, INC.
Oncolyze is developing a disruptive technology for the treatment of cancer. Our lead drug candidate, OM-301, has a simple mechanism of action to selectively kill cancer cells and cancer stem cells while sparing normal cells. This can provide a highly effective treatment with potentially little to no side effects. Our initial therapeutic target is AML. Most AML patients relapse within 1 year of treatment, as standard therapy is not very effective in destroying cancer stem cells. As a result, AML has only a 25% 5-year survival rate. In contrast, OM-301 has been shown to kill leukemic cancer stem cells, which has the potential to disrupt current medical treatment. Following our proof of concept in AML, we expect to pursue development for patients with other hematologic and solid cancers; multiple myeloma is a likely target for a following clinical trial.

Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar have been cast in HBO Max’s It prequel series Welcome to Derry
We assume that Pennywise the Dancing Clown is going to show up on the HBO Max series Welcome to Derry, which will serve as a prequel to Warner Bros’ two-part adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel It (pick up a copy HERE), at some point. We’re just not sure who would be playing Pennywise, as just a week ago Bill Skarsgard, who played the evil clown in those two movies, said he isn’t involved with the show. As we wait to hear the Pennywise details, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the names of four actors who will be seen in the show: they are Taylour Paige (Zola), Jovan Adepo (Watchmen), Chris Chalk (Perry Mason), and James Remar (Dexter).
Details on the roles Paige, Adepo, Chalk, and Remar will be playing are being kept under wraps. So for all we know, Pennywise could be lurking in their midst.
Brad Caleb Kane (Tokyo Vice) and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman), who was a co-producer on It: Chapter Two, are the showrunners on Welcome to Derry. The show is being executive produced by Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, the sibling director/producer duo that was behind the two It movies, through their production company Double Dream. Kane and Fuchs are also executive producing, as are Shelley Meals, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin. The series is produced by HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television.
Fuchs has written the script for the first episode, working from a story he crafted with the Muschiettis. Andy Muschietti will direct multiple episodes of the series, including that first episode.
Are you looking forward to Welcome to Derry? What do you think of Taylour Paige, Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, and James Remar joining the cast? Let us know by leaving a comment below. That’s a strong start to casting announcements as far as I’m concerned, and I’m especially glad to hear that Remar is going to be on the show.
This is the first time Taylour Paige, Chris Chalk, and James Remar are entering Stephen King territory, but Jovan Adepo previously played Larry Underwood in the second mini-series adaptation of The Stand. Remar has been acting since the ’70s, so it’s kind of surprising to realize he has never been in a King adaptation. The closest he’s come was a role in Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, but he wasn’t in the segment that was based on a King story.
