Scream's a teased haired David Lochary upstairs to Divine in the role of Diane Linkletter.
The parents are at home, and waiting for the return of their errant daughter, she turns up "tripping" and high on everything, and she announces her love for all things carnal.
Like most teenagers she gets sent to her room while Art and his wife try to sort the problem, we hear a crash, a scream and then see the mushed up Diane on the pavement "call collect" goes the soundtrack.
A superb short by John Waters, Divine's first screen role and David Lochary and Mary Vivian Pearce are on top form as well.
Some say its "bad" taste, nothing compares with the LP Art Linkletter released of his daughters suicide.
