(1966, Updated 12/30/20) Lon Chaney, Carol Ohmart, Jill Banner, Quinn K. Redeker, Beverly Washburn, Sid Haig, Mantan Moreland. Perversely delightful, often hilarious, and downright horrifying. Chaney is the household master of an eerie mansion full of regressive psychos. Mantan Moreland's famous window-slice-and-dice opening scene gives you a grim but humous taste of what's coming...

(1972, Upgraded 12/28/22) Bonnie Bedelia, Ken Howard, Anthony Zerbe. Howard picks up a young, quirky (and very pretty) vagabond woman in the desert. She tricks him into taking her to her desert shack where she breaks his leg with the blunt end of an axe! After that it’s very much like the Cathy Bates-James Caan relationship from Stephen King’s "Misery." In fact, the story is so...

(1963, Upgraded 12/30/22) Victor Buono, Diane Sayer, Ellen Corby, David McLean, Davey Davison, Russ Bender. There's a mad killer on the loose in the form of an overweight lab technician. His victims are the nurses who attend his over-possessive mother. Buono, fresh off his success in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, is uncomfortably over-realistic in his role as the demented killer.  There are some pretty grim...
