Trailer of the Week: Shriek of the Mutilated (1974)

Here's another favorite that turns 40 this year: Ed Adlum and Ed Kelleher teamed with Mike and Roberta Findlay to deliver this ridiculous slice of Sasquatch-cum-cannibalism cinema.

Banned Aid

Things have been pretty quiet here so far in 2013, but I did want to alert you to a few interesting posts over on some other blogs that we follow.

First, the always delightful William S. Wilson over at Video Junkie Strikes Back From Beyond the Grave has delivered a lengthy, detailed review of Roberta Findlay's final, unreleased New York horror film, Banned (1989).

As it turns out, it's a pretty awful horror/comedy, but we're still itching to see it. So what gives, Media Blasters? Check out the review, which includes some screen caps and this nifty admat.

While you're at it, head over to Temple of Schlock, where guest reviewer Stephen Bissette has offered up a nice review of the Vermont-lensed film Dark August (1976). There's also some nice coverage there of the Florida film Force of Impulse (1961) and Paul Kener's early film The Streak Car Company (1975).

Trailer of the Week: Lurkers (1988)

Roberta Findlay's best horror film? You be the judge.

Trailer of the Week: Blood Sisters (1987)

Probably my favorite of Roberta Findlay's late 1980s horror offerings -- Blood Sisters. There is no escape!

Day of the Women

Here's an intriguing bit of lost film history -- an independent film, made entirely by a crew of women filmmakers, featuring cinematography by none other than New York's own Roberta Findlay. Anyone know what happened to the 1973 production Double Circle, a.k.a. The Waiting Room? Director/producer Karen Sperling was the daughter of producer Milton Sperling and granddaughter of Harry Warner. She previously made the film Make a Face (1971).
