The Movie

ABOUT THE MAIN CHARACTER

CHARLIE SHOEMAKER

(FROM FOOTBALL TO ODDBALL)

In high school, Charlie was a pretty good football player.

In 1975, he was involuntarily committed to a mental institution after being taken to a hospital for blood poisoning, which he contracted after injecting rabbit's blood into his veins.

Charlie escaped from the hospital and went home to his girlfriend; he was apprehended and sent to an institution for the criminally insane, where he often shared with the staff fantasies about killing rabbits.

He was once found with blood smeared around his mouth; hospital staff discovered that he had captured two birds through the bars on his bedroom windows, snapped their necks, and sucked their blood out. Among themselves, the staff began referring to him as "Dracula."

Charlie was asked   why he committed   those atrocities and he claimed, he was being stalked by President Clinton, former Senator George Mitchell and Adolf Hitler [riding on a flat board with rollers].

All these folks told Charlie that he is a vampire and to avoid death, by die of thirst, he had to drink blood.

CHARLIE SHOEMAKER AND HIS HEART CONDITION

"Persistent heart failure can also not uncommonly lead to hallucinations of giant hot dog monsters at lunchtime", Dr. Harrelson says.

“A few years ago, they had put a defibrillator in Charlie-Boy. When he died on April 25, 1982, the damn thing went off again and the emergency doctor who tried to save him ... didn't believe what was happening:"

"Not that defibrillators occasionally kick on after death, because they can no longer detect a pulse in the patient, so they falsely triggerand deliver small bursts of electricity."

"Hell,no! When his remains landed in a stuffy morgue in a small shithole town in Nebraska, the coroner, Doctor Harrelson, recognized a morsecode in the hum of the machine."

"The morse code read: Solving the Transportation Problem Boris Korczak in Boothbay Harbor, Maine."
