CLUE-esque Comedy (80's?) - BLOODY-DISGUSTING

Heathen · 06-30-2012, 02:37 PM

I once saw on cable a mystery-comedy in the vein of CLUE '85, expect with horror overtones, where several folks are invited to a soiree. I thought it starred John Astin and Carol Kane (the latter was faking muteness and was +the killer), but no imdb listing matches the synopsis. It seemed like an 80's movie. Any ideas?

There was this:

A financier [Chevy Chase] meets a spurned lover [Demi Moore] and agrees to take her to a business meeting. On the way there, they run a stop sign in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. They are arrested and taken to the local court. But all is not as it seems: the courthouse and the "prison" are a maze of zany booby- traps and deadly contraptions. The antics of the captured couple as they try to escape from the mad judge and his bizarre family make up the rest of this unusual film.

Nope. For a seocnd, I thought it might be Murder By Death, which features a mute maid, but that's also incorrect.
