It can be flat-out scary, funny horror, or just plain creepy. Today\u2019s entry is <em>The Jester<\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MakeDoEntertainment\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MakeDo Entertainment<\/a>, written by Colin Krawchuk, Michael Sheffield, Andre Eleam, and Grant Palmer and directed by Krawchuk. <\/p>\n<p>I had a dream last night that I was attacked in the mall by three people trying to sell me a cell phone and had to fight my way to freedom, only to find that their Blackberry prices were extremely competitive. So the theme of this film, being detained by someone doing street magic with possible murderous intent, really resonates with me. On the down side, I feel I can\u2019t wear my orange suit anymore. <\/p>\n<p>The troupe behind these films also makes sketch comedy, so they know how to make a film punchy. My favorite line? The mumbled, half-hearted, \u201cCard tricks are fun.\u201d  And these films also have a great visual flair. A wonderfully fun bit of creepiness. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Jester, Chapter One: <\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HLHjyGNmm5U\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And since it\u2019s a Saturday, and you might have time for a twofer, I present you with <em>The Jester, Chapter 2<\/em>, directed by Krawchuk and written by Krawchuk and Sheffield, in which our man in orange bedazzles brave Waldo and curious Cat Lady, or as some know her, Lady Destro.
