BLOOD & MAKEUP: The Last Laugh of Blah Blah the Clown
Blah Blah the Clown ( the kids know him as ) aka Eddie Oswald is a man who always wanted to be an actor. One day Eddie had gotten so fed up with his mother that he ran away to Hollywood with hisbest friend Daniel. He aggressively auditioned for the role of ‘Blah Blah’ for the children’s television show and eventually landed the part. Eventually, the stardom got to his head and he grew upset with most (if not, all) of the kids and workers on the show, so Clive Butler, the Founder of ‘Butler Sweets and Such’ and the “Quiet Time” show, replaced the children on the show with puppets. Even after this decision, Eddie is still very rude and it seems everyone except Clive really hates working with him. One day on set Eddie had an outrage at the head of costume design, Deborah Tomlin, over his wig. The next morning Deborah was found dead in her apartment
