Elvis, Cab Fare, and Pigs

There's a brand new look to tonight's big show! We are darned near live from the back of a Green and Go Cab! I have the pleasure of interviewing Liz Peters from The Starplex and give you a chance to win tickets to see any movie you want! I suggest skipping the big blockbusters and throwing your support behind 28 Weeks Later.
Also joining me in the back is Danny Lee famous Elvis impersonator and in the front seat Harley the nicest guy you would ever designate your driver giving away Schlitterbahn tickets!
However tonight we have a real rare oddity for you.. Originally released as "Daddy's Deadly Darling" and rated X the recut version is tamed for television but still pretty violent. This is a review I found on IMDB which sums it all up:
Directed in 1972 by popular noir-gangster actor Marc Lawrence'('The Asphalt Jungle') 'Pigs', which was originally released as 'Daddy's Deadly Darling', was his 2nd and last attempt at directing low-budget exploitation horror.

Made primarily to launch his daughter, Toni Lawrence, into acting stardom(which, by the way, didn't go to far. She only appeared in 6 films, 4 being for TV), 'Pigs' tells the story of Lynn Webster, a young woman who murdered her father after being raped, and was then sent to an asylum for being deemed crazy as she refuses to believe he's dead. With that all set-up in the first few minutes of the film, Lynn then makes her big escape in a VW Bug out to the country where she makes her way to Zambrini's road-side diner. Now Zambrini (played by the elder Lawrence) isn't exactly what you would call sane either, as he has a habit of stealing corpses and feeding them to his pigs. Anyhow, he of course takes her in, hiring her as a waitress, and the two begin to form an absurd father/daughter relationship. It isn't long until Lynn resumes her murderous ways, which makes it very convenient for Zambrini. She supplies the bodies .....he feed's the pigs. Not a better pairing since chocolate met peanut butter, kind of like in those old Reeses commercials.And of course I need to remind you that PNS II is coming!
