Bloodsucking Freaks (USA 1976, dir. Joel M. Reed)
"Deliberately tacky and tongue-in-cheek . . . in the spirit of Herschel Gordon Lewis.” - Encyclopedia of Horror
Venture into a bizarre Off-Broadway theatre of the macabre, operated by a deranged impresario. Inside, sadistic entertainments are staged in the tradition of the Grand Guignol for his audience’s pleasure, including tortures, dismemberment and other gruesome acts. When people begin disappearing off the streets of Manhattan, the twisted truth begins to chillingly sink in: these horrifying acts are not theatrical at all. They are real! Joel Reed's BLOODSUCKING FREAKS has earned a reputation as being one of the most notorious gore-soaked-nasties from the NYC underground.

Pigs (USA 1973, dir. Marc Lawrence)

After arriving in a secluded California town, she takes a job as a waitress for Zambrini (Marc Lawrence), an elderly former circus performer who runs a small cafe, complete with a pen of 12 hungry pigs. Local legend has it that his pigs only eat human flesh and that in order to satisfy their growing appetites, Zambrini has begun to murder drifters. Soon the sheriff begins to get suspicious of the strange goings on at Zambrini's farm and grows closer and closer to discovering the shocking truth of the pigs. Directed by character actor Marc Lawrence and starring his daughter Toni, PIGS is a suspenseful and atmospheric psychological horror film featuring claustrophobic photography and a haunting score by Charles Bernstein (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET).
Dude Bro Party Massacre III (USA 2015, dir. Tomm Jacobsen & Michael Rousselet)
A satirical twist on the gory and sexually-charged 1980s slasher genre, DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE III is presented as the only surviving VHS copy of a reviled horror franchise's third—and final—installment. In the wake of mass murders on Chico's frat row, loner Brent Chirino must infiltrate the ranks of a popular fraternity to investigate his twin brother's murder at the hands of the serial killer known as Motherface. As they are picked off one by one, Brent and his fellow Dude Bros must face the terrifying reality that their deadly foe has returned from the grave, and is hell-bent on the destruction of the Delta Bis. Featuring cameos from Larry King, Patton Oswalt, Greg Sestero (THE ROOM), and Andrew W.K., DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE III is a subversive and hilarious tribute to '80s slashers.
