Benton Tarantella

Benton Tarentella is a minor villain from Courage the cowardly dog, he is a zombie film director.

He first appers iin everyone wants to direct, where he arrived at the bagge farm claiming he wanted to film there, Courage grew sucpisious of him and checked his computer to see if he really was a director. Courage learned that he was a former serial killer who, with help from his partner Erol, posed as an ammature filmmaker wanting to direcct in his victims homes, after they let the two in, hey would kill them. The two killed a dozen people before they were arrested. Erol was releashed from prison for good behavior but Benton died in prison. Erol himself died of unknown causes sometime later, and was burried in a cemitary that the farm was built over, but now Benton has somehow come back to life as a zombie (how is never revealed) and come to the farm to bring erol back to life so they could continue their killing spree, starting with the owners of the farm. Benton would get Eustace to dig a pit leading to Erols grave and wait for the planets to aline and shine light into erols grave than after erol came back they would eat murial (who thought she was playing a human victim and had no idea the whole thing was real) and than move onto Eustice and courage. When Courage arrives to warn everyone, Benton locks him in a trunk, though courage manages to re wrie the script so that Benton lets him out and he and erol go back in the pit.

Benton laer appear without Erol in angry nasty people, where he was planning to make a show about people being mean to each other. He comes across the Bagges and asks them to be in the show beacuse of Eustices mean ways. He eventually makes the show entirely about Eustice and an even meaner clone of him named mr nasty, insulting and humileating Courage and Murial. Benton and mr nasty are defeated when Courage pretends to be meaner than mr nasty so Benton will fire him and make Courage the new star. After mr nasty leaves Courage knocks Benton into quicksand to sink.
