Pizza Hut has had various mascots throughout the years to represent their brand and promote their delicious pizzas. One of their most recognizable mascots is Pizza Pete, who made his debut in the 1960s. Pizza Pete was a cartoon chef character with a big mustache and a chef hat, showcasing his love for delicious pizza. In the 1980s, Pizza Hut introduced a new mascot named The Pizza Head Show. This mascot was a talking slice of pizza with googly eyes and a fun, quirky personality. The Pizza Head Show consisted of short commercials where Pizza Head would find himself in funny and often precarious situations, which always ended with a humorous twist.
This is another shot that would look great in high definition, when Leigh spots the spider scuttling towards them.
Higbie skulks through the dark, abandoned boathouse with only a lantern to light his way, the upstairs clearly full of cobwebs and overturned furniture. It s clear they didn t know how to animate it while it was burning, so it just swings back and forth like it s on an obvious wire, with Rodan sounds bellowing out of it.

During the 1990s, Pizza Hut partnered with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and introduced their mascot, the Pizza Hut Pizza Monster. This character was a friendly monster who loved pizza, adding a touch of fun and adventure to the Pizza Hut brand.
Curse of the Black Widow
CURSE OF THE BLACK WIDOW is considered by some to be a lesser work of director DAN CURTIS, but if you ask me even a lesser work by this guy is worth a look. CURSE introduces us to a familiar CURTIS protagonist, a somewhat down on his luck investigator who must work against a system that believes he is a lunatic for entertaining the idea that the solution to the problem at hand may be supernatural in origin.
In this case, a string of murders in L.A. by a femme fatale slowly begins to appear to be the work of a woman who has the ability to transform herself into a giant spider thanks to an Indian curse. As far fetched as the concept is CURTIS is able to ground at least the first half of the film in a gritty and groovy seventies reality before taking his shoes off and delivering a B-movie showdown with a papier-mâché arachnid. What separates CURSE from most of CURTIS' productions is the fact that it eventually reaches a knee-slapping, ridiculously camp crescendo but that's also what makes it so much fun.
At a time when most television movies featured women being endlessly accosted in parking lots, it's actually refreshing to find a mostly male victim roster here. (Of course centering the tale on a woman who is half spider and lingers around singles bars to catch her prey is hardly the height of feminism either). As dated as some of this happily is, CURSE still manages to come off as pretty progressive for showcasing an apparently gay mortician and a very butch girl Friday played to the hilt by ROZ KELLY. I may have said some less then flattering things about ROZ "Pinky Tuscadero" KELLY in the past, specifically in reference to her less than stellar performance on THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. In fact, if I remember correctly, MR. CANACORN himself issued a fatwa against me in order to defend her dubious honor. Well, all I can say is that I am now deeply ashamed of myself because, in this movie, she frakin' owns!
In fact, as much as CURSE definitely has a great dark CURTIS vibe throughout, I gotta say the entire cast is what makes it so special to me. It may not send you to bed freaked out of your mind because a spider lady might get you, but who can say no to these actors? ANTHONY FRANCIOSA of ARGENTO's TENEBRE is the more than a likable lead and he is surrounded by such greats and not-so-greats as VIC MORROW, DONNA MILLS, JUNE LOCKHART, JUNE ALLYSON, SID CEASER, MAX GAIL of BARNEY MILLER, and last, but certainly not least, the living legend and poster girl for fractured personalities everywhere, someone who should never be shown a hot dog lest she "loose control," PATTY (CALL ME ANNA) DUKE! C'mon you know you can't resist this! It's like someone mashed up that giant spider episode of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND with KOLCHAK and then forced some LOVE BOAT stragglers to perform in it! CURSE in no way CURTIS' finest hour but if you are a fan of seventies television and laughable giant monsters it may be yours.

The soap opera of the family comes to a head with Leigh discovering that always locked room contains the mother she thought had died. This leads to a confrontation with “Valerie” who confesses a lot of things, one of which being she can transform into a giant spider. Well, that blows. She does and webs up Leigh, her mother (June Lockhart), on the other hand, decides suicide would be the better option for her, and hurls herself out of the top floor window. Keep you eyes peeled on the slow motion tumble because it’ll be obvious a stunt man is doing it.

Reviews for "Inside the Mind of the Pizza Hut Mascot: Behind-the-Scenes Interviews"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - The Pizza Hut mascot is incredibly annoying and creepy. Every time I see that big red puppet, I cringe. The way it moves and talks is just unsettling. It's honestly hard to enjoy my meal when that thing is staring at me from across the room. I wish they would reconsider using such a disturbing character as their mascot.
2. John - 2/5 stars - The Pizza Hut mascot is a complete miss for me. It feels like they were trying too hard to be fun and quirky, but it ended up being more annoying and obnoxious. The constant high-pitched voice and exaggerated gestures are just too much for me. It feels like they are trying to appeal to children, but even kids find it annoying. I would much rather enjoy my pizza in peace without the presence of that irritating mascot.
3. Emma - 1/5 stars - I really dislike the Pizza Hut mascot. It's just not appealing at all. The design looks outdated and the colors clash with the whole brand aesthetic. It's also difficult to associate it with pizza since it looks more like a creepy puppet than anything else. I don't understand why Pizza Hut thought it was a good idea to have such a bizarre mascot representing their brand. It definitely does not make me want to visit their restaurant.
