1. What do maggots eat? If the answer is "just about anything", what would you guess is their favourite food?

2. Why isn't Henry Winkler credited in Scream? He did a damn good job.

Maggots eat putrifying meat. That's why they're useful for treating gangrene - they'll eat the rotten flesh, but leave the healthy living flesh alone ;-)

ok, thanks. I wrote in my play that "the media will eat it up like maggots on rotten banana peels", but that would be incorrect. thanks!

Hrm, after a little investigation (ok, so it didn't take long) not all maggots eat rotten meat.

Interesting so they nibble on either live or dead flesh. Thanks.

Think they disolve it with their saliva, but I can't say I'm an expert. I once saw an interview with a magggot farmer, officially one of the worst jobs there is to do.

I have no idea, but it came as a shock to me. Maybe he decided he didn't want to be credited, maybe he feared being typecast as a murdered school teacher.

me too! he's the fonz and it's better than the film, "I shaved my legs for this", in which he was credited.

maybe he feared being typecast as a murdered school teacher.

did you know that's played a pimp before?

[madderz]

Hehe.

Nooo, he can't have... the Fonz, a pimp... He has to have been aweful in that role?

[gothbabe]

Yes, in Night Shift, alongside Michael Keaton.

I beleive Henry was uncredited as a way to trick the audience into thinking he was the murderer. For example, when Kevin Spacey was cast as the looney in 'Seven' he was left out of all publicity so as to mess with the audiences expectations. Given Wes Cravens habit of deliberately leading the audience up blind alleys, especialy in the Scream films, I think he left out the credit for Henry to make the audience think that was happening again.

So much for the complicated answer, seems Henry just decided not to have a credit.
