I lived in Louisville when they filemd this. They filmed during the infamous April 4, 1974 tornados tha wiped a good bit of Louisville off the map then, and struck near them and myself in our basement at the time!
The Dead Next Door is a blog about regional or "backyard" horror and science fiction films made from the late 1950s to the earlyl 1990s (and beyond). These films were released during the peak years of independent film production, created by a motley crew of seasoned pros, gifted amateurs, and enthusiastic genre fans, along with dozens of eccentric dreamers -- doctors, lawyers, insurance salesmen, publishers, commercial filmmakers, TV production crews and moonlighting pornographers -- all looking for their big break or a fast buck or both.
That looks fantastic. Clearly 'Carrie' ripped it off. I say that because both movies have two syllable girl names as titles, that rhyme.
