Wow - just when I thought I'd seen every possible variation of this old favourite, I've just stumbled across this one for 'Jack and the Benastalk' ...

I seeded pea pole.

Hats off to Bigger Boat. That's now one of my favourites. I keep reading it to myself over and over and it keeps making me chuckle at the ingenuity of it.

That is good! Here's a link to it.

Can we create a canonical list of all variations on this? I have personally submitted:

Godfather III - I see dead papal.
Half Past Dead - I see dead. Peeples.
All Souls Day: Dia De Los Muertos - �Ai! �Si! �Dead people!

This isn't the kind of list one can easily research, only co-operation would make it possible.

I say old boy, my heartfelt thanks for your praise - I've turned positively crimson with embarrassment!

Yes, I was quite proud of this one because I often look at a film title or phrase and think about how it could be written differently but pronounced the same (depending on your accent of course). I've done a few now but I won't list them here because it looks like we're going down a different line, but I may start a thread/workshop soon to look at these.

Alive - I season dead people.

An early attempt from me here - not my best work and I've tended to avoid it ever since.

Yeah BiggerBoat's one is genius.

I'm particularly proud of the first of these ones, it's one of my favourite reviews I've written:


Rotten Shaolin Zombies

SPOILER for Pay It Forward - school kid Haley Joel Osment (of The Sixth Sense) dies.

The Sexy Sixth Sense

Zombie Strippers

Lucker The Necrophagous

This is a band wagon that I have for the most part let pass. I have two, both sort of off the wall.


Lady in White.

Missile.

Hadda do it for the Grateful Dead, but I think Ka Crow put it more elegantly.
