Comedian Creator/PattonOswalt has a famous routine about how this film's eventual release made his writer's block even worse, although he mistakenly refers to the film as ''Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People''.

* AndIMustScream: The artist, trapped inside one of his own paintings, forced to watch the bed continue to kill. Towards the end, he briefly recovers the ability to speak in a way that other characters will hear, and explains how the bed can finally be destroyed.


Added DiffLines:

* OldPeopleAreNonsexual: Averted with one of the bed's many victims, an old lady reclining with a "Candid Press" paper, whose front page promes "Oral lesbians! Big butts! B'zooms! Crax!"


Added DiffLines:

* SpinningPaper: Part of the bed's backstory is revealed through four editions of ''The Daily Bugle'' with headlines reading "Thousands Disappear", "Strange Munching Sounds Heard in Night", "Mayor Demands Action", and "Mayor Disappears". All of these papers are the exact same image except for a different headline, with the same side stories and picture; this either evidence that the film is indeed a StealthParody or just a sign of its extremely low budget.

In the ruins of an old house, there is a bed. This is not unusual. What ''is'' unusual is that this bed is alive. And hungry. Over the years, various people find their way to the house, and when they lie too long on the bed, they are drawn into it and digested, as the soul of an artist (trapped in his last drawing) mocks and taunts it. But when a certain woman finds herself at the house, the artist suspects she might be the key to ending the bed's feasting ways...

An incredibly cheesy and bizarre mix of horror, sexploitation, and arthouse, Death Bed was shot in 1972 but a print wasn't struck until 1977. It then disappeared, before being rediscovered in 2003 and released on DVD. It gained a cult following when bootlegs made from a rare UK VHS/Betamax copy of the film began circulating. Director George Barry reportedly forgot about the film before he came across said bootleg found on a horror movie forum.
