This DVD is clearly taken from a VHS transfer actually, there’s a flicker of horizontal tape damage at the start that made me smile with nostalgia (perhaps I should have been grumpy about it but I wasn’t, I was pleased, the movie looks fine and I’m an old fool).ĭon’t get your hopes up with regards the presence of Charle Band regular, Jeffery Coombs, he’s only playing a cameo at the start of the movie. It’s a cheap bit of VHS fodder that is never going to find itself lauded but will at least pass the brief time its with you in an amusing fashion.
#Cellar dweller full
A 70 minute and loose change (the opening titles go on forever) example of Empire Pictures output, the forerunner to Charles Band’s Full Moon Entertainment. But it’s fun tosh and that makes all the difference.
Naturally, CELLAR DWELLAR is a load of old tosh. Which is a shame as I’d love to go and write my next novel in one because they’re run by Yvonne De Carlo and they look fun, even if the comic artist has brought a powerful demon to life and it’s bumping the talentless residents off one by one. What do you call those artist communes you see in films? You know, where one artist is doing weird things with video, another’s writing a crime novel, a third is painting like a child, a fourth indulging in performance art and a fifth drawing horror comics? Ah yes, ‘fictional’. We usually tip the waiters 20% but this time it was too much to close our eyes on, she stole us more than her tip fivefold anyway, so I’m not worried about her pay that she probably takes from the customers whether they want it or not.STARRING: Yvonne De Carlo, Debrah Farentino, Brian Robbins, Pamela Bellwood, Jeffrey Coombs We weren’t even feeling good enough to finish our overly priced drinks and left a few minutes later, leaving the waitress a round zero dollar tip as warm as her welcome towards us. We ordered a long island iced tea and when asking her if she had other cocktails, she replied «I wouldn’t call the long island a cocktail :)» since when the long island is not a cocktail and since when you reply this way to your customers on this teenage crisis tone? But that clown kept the joke going by scamming us with a ridiculous $ 27 for the long island and a whiskey that she carefully watered down, little did she know I saw her doing it when I was on my way back from the bathroom. My girlfriend and I got there yesterday (Saturday night) at 1am and the bartender was like «You guys have time for 1 drink then I’m gonna need to kick you guys out», well that’s a way to greet people and make them feel welcome! There were 3 single guys at the bar and that b*tch was litterally kissing their arse.
It’s perfect for a first date or nice drink before or after show. The bartenders are unique and have the exact about of sass and humor that you could only assume would come with such a bar. It’s small, it’s simple but you feel like this is where Frank Sinatra or Al Capone would hang out if they were in Tulsa. You’re in Tulsa’s version of the Chicago’s own Green Mill. The backwall is covered in mirror tiles and above the fireplace mantle hangs a kitchy but amazing, felt painting of a topless woman.
You can sit up at the bar and mingle with the regulars or hide out in a dark corner. The bar is simple, cocktails, bottled and canned beer, but no draft. This bar is by no means fancy but it’s got character which is even better. Finally, you start to see the red glare come out of two glass doors and you are now at Cellar Dweller. As you take each step, slowly, you start to hear bustle coming from below. You walk to an apartment complex with a red awning and a door open to winding set of stairs. When you arrive, you see a simple, understated sign outside that says Cellar Dweller which is easily missed. I have been a patron of this bar for many years, it’s definitely a hidden gem in the downtown Tulsa scene.
