Marko would doubtless see it as just learning the trade, work experience for his daughter and a way to help earn her keep. It's his, and by extension, their lifestyle. Of course, living with her around the barker and Gunther puts a dubious light on his parenting.<br /><br />I thought he said "Carmilla", because of the vampire/horror connection. Is she actually billed as Carmella?Madame Enferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237938029432864327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040266196860783998.post-69929226810165320332012-07-21T07:47:47.228-07:002012-07-21T07:47:47.228-07:00The fake death of Marco's daughter and the ide...The fake death of Marco's daughter and the idea of suspended 'reality' is reminiscent (albeit in reverse) of Phantom of the Paradise, when the audience believes that, because of his rising from a coffin, Beef's 'death' is as much an entertainment construct as his resurrection. When all hell breaks loose at the wedding, again, fans believe they're just part of the 'show'.

This sequence in particular is stand-out and definitely proves your argument about the games Hooper is playing with the horror-movie audience. <br /><br />That said, I wonder if there's any significance to some of the continuity errors in these scenes. Marco drops his cigarette during his history lesson, but then it appears as he's driving the stake into the girl's heart. Just moments earlier, the Funhouse barker is seen holding a lit cigarette, but when the camera angle changes he's holding a small green mug. Normally these little things could be dismissed as continuity errors, but given Hooper's playful subtext, I wonder if it's supposed to be one more example of a carnie's slight-of-hand. The only other example that comes to mind is in Mike Nichol's film of CATCH-22; there's a scene where Bob Newhart crosses back and forth across a desk, it's one long take and each of the three times he passes, there's a different portrait on the wall (Churchill, Stalin and FDR.)Kevin Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498788912040569956noreply@blogger.com
