Blackout is Dougherty's best work since Stuffed Terror! **SPOILERS!!



Hey... just came across an old film titled "The Stuffed Terror," which apparently has Ed Dougherty credited as writer/director/producer/actor (voice of the Terror). Man, what a multitalented phenom! The scene depicting the Terror emerging from the garbage bag to the sounds of Rage Against the Machine (where'd he get the licensing for that?) seems to be some kind of psychic metaphor for the country's rise after 9/11. The extremely dramatic resolution has the Terror reconciling with his owner in the basement with a hopeful embrace. Maybe another metaphor, pointing toward the hope for a peaceful nation? You never know with Dougherty. He is so much more than just a bloody bassist.
