Director: Oleg Egorov
Starring: Kelly Lynch, Daniel Grimm, Phillip Vincent
In a not-so-distant dystopian future (just think Mad Max and substitute water for gasoline) a young girl's family is murdered by an evil gang led by Mr. Big...so, how best to exact her revenge? Grow up, learn the art of the crossbow (and the art of 80's hair) and kidnap the leader's fucking BOYFRIEND that's how! All right!

Director: Bruce D. Clark
Starring: Eddie Albert, Erin Moran, Zalman King, Robert Englund, Sid Haig
The best of the US Alien ripoofs and the hands down best exploitation effort that came out of the New World Pictures waning years equals a film that has grown to legendary status....James Cameron on B Unit and a modern wet dream cult cast - Eddie Albert, Zalman King, Robert Englund, Sid Haig and Erin Moran in a great Happy Days stereotype busting role. This movie was a late night cable mainstay in the early 80s and has aged like a fine wine. Super bloody and super grim...this legitimate SciFi epic is due for a revisting to get the respect it so richly deserves...but don't let all this gushing about the excellent acting, story, tone and alien existentialism take away from the fact that this is a hardcore exploitation flick of the first magnitude...the extended alien monster rape scene alone will clear the place of the people with weaker constitutions. GIve this one a serious watch - you'll be glad you did...

aka Nightmare
Dircetor: John Newland
Starring: Kim Darby, Jim Hutton
Runtime: 74 min
The message of this telefilm is, of course, be VERY AFRAID of the dark! We just kicked off the Dead Channels midnight series with our 16mm copy of this film and it brought down the house!
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is the legendary television movie that scared the living Hell out of an entire generation of impressionable latch key kids. – and now it's your turn!
A neurotic housewife named Sally and her business exec husband movie into Sally’s family house, a spooky two-story Victorian mansion. Sally comes across a locked door that, once finally opened at her great insistence, kicks off a series of very strange events. Sally begins to see small creatures everywhere and of course, no one believes her – nothing a valium won't cure insists her husband.....until the death starts! Is she crazy? Or has Sally released demons?
This film has been released on DVD. It is no longer available to download here but we highly recommend buying your own copy: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
Italy
aka Ghosts of Sodom, Il Fantasma di Sodoma
Director: Lucio Fulci
Starring: Claudio Aliotti, Maria Concetta Salieri, Robert Egon, Jessica Moore, Sebastian Harrison, Alan Johnson, Teresa Razzaudi
In Sodoma's Ghost Italian horror master Lucio Fulci has left the over-the-top gore behind (and any budget apparently) in favor of other exploitation staples: teens, tits, drugs, lesbians and Nazis. This is a rare glimpse at the lighter side of Fulci, in a nutshell, a bunch of blathering American teens traveling across France get trapped in a haunted Nazi party house and proceed to lose their shit.
Director: Melville Shavelson
Starring: Paul Michael Glaser, Sally Struthers, Adrienne Barbeau, Bill Bixby, Peter Cushing
More lost TeeVee action here at the Hex. A Houdini biopic starring Adrienne Barbeau, Paul Michael Glaser, Bill Bixby and Sally Struthers and....Peter Cushing as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle......just wow. This movie set off an epidemic of school children brutally punching each other in the stomach the day after it originally aired! Not as much mysticism as we would have liked but a fun find nonetheless. Have fun with this very hard to find lost gem! "Speak in Yiddish so I know it’s you!!!!"

Italy
aka Top Line
Director: Nello Rossati
Starring: Franco Nero, George Kennedy, Deborah Moore
Ahhhhh, the 80’s. Kinda speechless on this one...lots of "what the...?" moments. It plays out like a modern parody of an 80's pitch meeting. "Yea, Terminator but with aliens!!! But set in Central America...you know, like Rambo...actually we have the deal with Reagan see...and...well, it also has Roger Moore’s daughter and George Kennedy as this German guy. Did we mention Aliens and a Terminator?” And so it goes. Fascinating! Oh, and...best...cyborg...death...scene...EVER!
Director: Bernard L. Kowalski
Starring: Roy Thinnes, Yvette Mimieux, Ray Milland, Gloria Grahame, Leif Garrett
Black Noon is one of our favorite and most sought after 70s made for teevee films. A powerhouse cast featuring Roy Thinnes, Yvette Mimieux and Ray Milland drive home an epic genre mash up - period Western and Satatnic Devil Cults!!!! We know, we know....they don't make those every day. Tonally they really nail it which is unusual for concepts like this.....dare we say it out races Race with the Devil!
