The long awaited sequel to this year's 'TUFF Puppy Trilogy of Terror.' It all started a year ago with this piece:

And like last year; the "Master of Ceremonies" is none other than The Lady herself: Elizabeth Tepes Malmsteen.
Last year she dressed as Elvira and her setting was a projection room with movie parody posters.
This year she is wearing Victorian funeral attire. Most notable is the mourning veil she is wearing; along with this knee high silk stockings. She is sitting on a grave with Dudley's visage on it along with the crossbones engraved below him. You think she'd want him alive; but I guess this is the first process to make sure he stays "Undead." ;D
Now obviously the whole idea of doing a 'TUFF Puppy Trilogy of Terror' was taken directly from the yearly tradition of 'The Simpsons'; who started the whole thing. Another tradition Simpsons Halloween episodes did for a while; for at least five seasons...was creating 'Humorous Tombstones.' During the opening credits they would place the names of people, things or trends on them indicting they were dead...or at least dying.
I won't do this every year; and neither would The Simpsons writers because it was too hard. XD
But I did the minimum requirement of four references. These ones having some particular meaning.
Like one says: "Survival Horror"; referring to the gaming genre Resident Evil was once noted for; but now tends to shift away from it. Certain games out there still practice it'; but it's definitely not as widespread as it used to be.
Another says: 'Bipartisan Politics'; as we've seen in Washington over the last few weeks from both sides that is definitely a dead thing.
On the right we have 'The Previous Internet MEME'. This one says underneath it 'Life Span: 1- 2 Months.' That's generally how long people embrace the latest MEME; before another one takes it place. They breed like mayflies...they live for a short period of time and then die only to give rise to another one and so on.
And finally; the big one: 'Nickelodeon's Credibility.' This is very true for the subject matter this piece is on: TUFF Puppy. The show it self was aired sporadically and poorly. And with the latest trend of live action shows and airing hours upon hours of nothing but Spongebob; Nickelodeon is definitely not the fun credible channel choice for kids like it used to be.
So with her film reel in hand of the sequel to Dog House of Horror; the parodies are listed below on the piece.
And I noticed a pattern from last year; a pattern I think should be set. The first story deals with Kitty, the second with Dudley, and the third with a secondary hero or villain. Last year it was Keswick; this year it's The Chief.
In the first story; Kitty is possessed by her dead gangster ancestor nicknamed 'TommyGun Tabby." There she is decked out in gangster attire robbing a vault. The poor fox looks on in horror as she continues to fire the tommygun with those blood red eyes. The title is a parody of the movie title 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'; though this title was also used in an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. Note the bullet holes on Bang! Bang!
The second Story deals with Dudley being the dog he is. He loves digging up bones; so as a dog; certain bones might interest him. Perhaps like digging up the femurs or ulnas of deceased celebrities as a sort of weird collection. But the dead celebrities don't like this and awake from their graves to release their fury on Petropolis. Dudley finds and unlikely ally who might be beneficial to defeat them. If collecting bones is an interest of his; similarly it is the interest of Verminious Snaptrap to collect skulls. And how can a dead guy move without his skull? ;D Leave it to Dudley to find another weirdo collector to aide him. The title is a parody of the movie and the serial it was based off of: 'The Lone Ranger.'
The last story has two movie references. The first being the title which is a parody of what many consider to be "One of the Best and Worst movies Simultaneously' ever made: 'No Country for Old Men.' Never heard of it? Well the premise is this guy finds some money from a drug deal gone horribly wrong; all while being pursued by this seemingly unstoppable psycho named Antoine Sugar. Hence the idea of the persistent psycho for this story. Only it's not an incredibly strong human; but an incredibly strong chicken. A chicken named Jon McCluck....named after the Bruce Willis character 'John McClane' from the Die Hard movie series.
The title may be taken from 'No Country for Old Men'; but if you read the premise and consider The Chief the main character; it's actually the same plot as Kung Fu Panda. Only instead of Shifu it's The Chief; and instead of Tai Lung it's an invincible chicken. A chicken so invincible that even the courageous and fearless Kitty Katswell trembles in fear; along with the malign Dudley. No one is more scared than The Chief; because not only does John have it out for him, but The Chief is really the only guy to stop him since he raised and trained him. But can he do it!? O.o
Oh..one other reference. Yes yes...'Bark-Ham Asylum' is a reference to 'Arkham Asylum.' Heh heh..it's cle-ver. XD
Enjoy ya'll. Have a Happy Halloween.![:D]( ":D (Big Grin)")
