HOW IT HAPPENED HERE
An incredibly entertaining book that offers aspiring filmmakers a potent object lesson in what not to do
REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND

ORGY OF THE DEAD (Film)
From Ed Wood, a charmingly archaic sexploitation outrage that was apparently conceived as a loose sequel to PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE
TEOREMA
A very strange Marxist parable from Italy’s Pier Paolo Pasolini, starring the late Terence Stamp
Terence Stamp: 1938-2025
There was nobody else quite like the recently deceased Terence Stamp
AMANITA PESTILENS
This eco-horror tinged psychodrama had the distinction of being the first Canadian live-action feature to be filmed in color
Faust on Acid

HWY: AN AMERICAN PASTORAL
