Back in 2019, I stumbled on House of Dreams while looking for either 1960s regional horror movies, movies made in Indiana, or both. I had read the Bleeding Skull review long before, but had filed it away and mostly forgotten about it. Once it was back on my radar, I ended up buying the DVD from Alpha Video and was pretty floored--here was a completely independent horror feature production made in Indiana that had its premiere in September of 1963.…

Red Roses of Passion 1966
Carla (Patricia McNaire) is tired of her prudish aunt and cousin cramping her style when she brings men home. A friend takes her to meet Martha (Helena Clayton), a fortune teller who runs an all-female cult that worships "the spirit of Pan" out of the back room of her storefront. Martha suggests a way for Carla to put Tracey (Laura London) and Julie (Bella Donna) in their place, and at first Carla is pleased with the results. Her aunt and…

Yard Work Is Hard Work 2008
One of my all-time favorite cinema experiences was going to the Bank of America Cinema in Portage Park one evening when this was played before the feature. By about halfway through, the audience--which consisted largely of retirees who just wanted to watch an old Hollywood movie--was about to riot. There was a lot of yelling; I don't know if anybody actually left, though. They just really wanted the projectionist to turn this off and start the feature. They didn't, of…

2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus 2021
"Communism is all over the place."
This movie suggests the coronavirus pandemic is a worldwide globalist conspiracy to establish a One World Order where everyone must speak English, and Christianity, ice cream, and funerals are all outlawed. It does this mostly through endless scenes of people sitting around in a big room in a basement and just talking and talking and talking. There are long follow shots of people walking where the camera is set at ass level; after a…
