Skip It 10/18

Horror House (1969)
Directed by: Michael Armstrong
Written by: Michael Armstrong
Starring: Frankie Avalon, Jill Haworth, Dennis Price, Mark Wynter, George Sewell, Gina Warwick

A bunch of teenagers go to a supposedly haunted house when a party gets boring and someone gets murdered. The rest of the movie consists of the kids arguing and the cops trying to find the killer. F


American Werewolf In Paris (1997)
Directed by: Anthony Waller
Written: Tim Burns
Starring: Tom Everett Scott, Julie Delpy, Vince Vieluf, Phil Buckman, Julie Bowen, Pierre Cosso

Typically cheap, scare free late 90's horror. Boy meets girl, girl bites boy, boy turns into werewolf, bad special effects abound. Nothing interesting to see here. D-


Deranged (1974)
Directed by: Jeff Gillen and Alan Ormsby
Written by: Alan Ormsby
Starring: Roberts Blossom, Cosette Lee, Leslie Carlson, Robert Warner, Marcia Diamond, Brian Smeagle, Arlene Gilleb, Robert McHeady

Loosely based on the true horror story of Ed Gein, 'Deranged' will definitely make you question why you watch movies like this. A lonely, borderline retarded man digs up his mother's corpse and keeps her in the house and goes about trying to seduce women and lure them back to his house so he can kill them and make furniture out of the skin and bones. Some parts are so ridiciulous I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be funny or not. Watch this movie, 'Psycho,' 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' and 'Silence of the Lambs,' to see how different filmmakers have used (or exploited) the Ed Gein crimes for their own artistic visions. D+
