Friday Fromage: Thanksgiving leftovers with a mulleted mutant turkey in Blood Freak

You know I couldn't let a Friday slip by with a little Fromage for everyone. Especially the Friday after Thanksgiving when a little slice of heathen called Blood Freak is sitting in the fridge ready to share.

Blood Freak poses the age-old question: What happens when a burly guy eats a whole roasted turkey contaminated with a mad scientist's latest serum? Answer: He transforms into a burly bad guy wearing a ratty old turkey mask who carves on humans, presumably in revenge for his peeps (or gobbles).

The burly guy is Steve Hawkes (real name: Steve Sipek) who lives in Loxahatchee, FL and operates an animal sanctuary. I don't know if it includes turkeys but he owns tigers, a link to Sipek playing Tarzan twice in movies (Tarzan and the Brown Prince, Tarzan and the Golden Grotto) In 2004, one of his big cats named Bobo was confronted by Palm Beach Sheriff's deputies and killed. That isn't the worst thing that ever happened to him. Here's a little background, courtesy of SeacoastOnline.com.

Blood Freak is a gory as it is goofy, so be prepared for hilariously fake bloodlettings. Enjoy!
