Over the years, Colonel Sanders has killed a lot of things. Chickens, for one—hordes upon hordes of chickens—potatoes, corn, whatever goes into those parfait cups…there’s plenty of murders on the Colonel’s plate. But man…do I have a winner for you. Because this time, somehow…he’s managed to kill a movie.

Well, At Least The Poster, Anyway

Basically, there was this movie—and it didn’t look half bad, either. Maybe a little heavy on the splatter, but hey. And they were calling it Kentucky Fried Horror Show. The poster originally depicted an array of body parts wedged in a red-and-white striped bucket that looked very much like a KFC bucket.

And That’s When The Suing Started

Naturally, the guys who were making a movie couldn’t last very long against the combined lawyer mass of Yum Brands, and thus, they folded like laundry in Amish Country. To see the progression of the poster designs, just follow that link I gave you back in the beginning.

Really, this makes me kinda sad. Since when do corporations get to…decide…what…we…watch…ouch. That’s been going on for years. Well, I’m still depressed.

I need trivia fun. And there’s plenty to be had over at Kwanzoo—go try the horror movie trivia. Before Ronald McDonald lands on them with both feet for some reason.
