“Was it a horror movie?...................”
About 40 years ago James Garner was asked by Barbara Walters (IIRC) if he would appear nude in a film.
“I don’t do horror films” was his response. Priceless, perfectly delivered, deadpan quip. Never forgot it.
The skit by Cheech & Chong where Cheech comes in and Chong is watching TV:
Cheech: Hey, Man, what you watchin’?
Chong: A movie about Indians, man, but it’s really boring, man!
Cheech: That’s not a movie, man, that’s a test pattern, man!
Chong: Oh, wow, man!
Cheech: Let’s change the channel, man!
TV: Sounds of woman screaming, things being broken, more screaming.....
Cheech: Oh wow, it’s a horror movie!
Chong: Wow, is that Jane Fonda?
Cheech: No, man, the scary kind!..................

Chong mis-hears the word ‘horror’ as ‘whore’. Jane Fonda had, at that time, a reputation for playing a prostitute in movies............
