She has these weird experiences where she can't hear anything & no one acknowledges here existence. She then finds herself drawn to an abandoned amusement park & becomes face to face with this mysterious man. This is an old black & white horror flick that twists together an eerie tale filled with lots of atmosphere & nightmarish imagery. The film was originally known as CORRIDORS OF EVIL & fits right up there with the classic films PSYCHO & NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!! DEAD KENNEDYS - THE EARLY YEARS LIVE (?) TARGET VIDEO (DVD) This DVD is a compilation of early DEAD KENNEDY'S live footage. These guys are one of the best Punk Rock bands ever & one of the main reasons I got into Punk music in the first place. The live footage is all taken from the years 1978 to 1981 & was all recorded live in the San Francisco, California area. This is some great old footage of these guys that I'm sure many of you have never seen before. Check out this DVD & see one more reason why your parents have always hated Punk Rock music. This DVD also features a sing-a-long option & the bands biography as well! Punks Not Dead! Oi! Oi! Oi! |
| DEUTERONOMY - A DARK COMEDY BY CHUCK FUROY (?) SKI MASK PRODUCTIONS (VHS) This is a documentary type video done by Chuck Furoy (a.k.a. Ski-Mask of TOWPATH & OSTOMY). The video is from his THUNDERBIRD THEATRE TV program on the Buffalo, Ny cable access chanel. This episode is about child molestation within the churches by priest to altar boys. This was very disturbing & hilarious all at the same time. I liked that he put the television news clips of himself in the beginning of the tape along with the priest stories!!! This is a must see!!! - P.O. BOX 638 / KENMORE BRANCH / BUFFALO, NY. 14217 |
