New Review: THE REVENGE OF THE WHEELCHAIR (1993)
"More south-of-the-border terrornovela with a bonkers mix of soap-opera histrionics and slasher chaos."

These are the films that slipped through the cracks—overshadowed by the genre’s giants, buried by time, or trapped in distribution limbo. More Lost Slashers from the 1980s ... !

Here's a full sequence from my upcoming mini-documentary 'More Lost Slashers of the '80s'. CARNAGE HALL was long thought to be an urban legend, but it does exist ... and so does its sequel!

A press article from November 1980 predicting the end of the horror craze. Although we think of the early '80s as a Slasher Golden Age, the boom in production quickly led to a bust. Check out my video for the Top 5 Lost Slashers of the '80s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHn2...

Ahead of posting a review to Hysteria Lives!, here's a short video version of that review for Beppe Cino's decidedly strange 1986 Giallo THE HOUSE OF THE BLUE SHADOWS. If I get a chance, I'll do a series of these. Like & subscribe!

Press advert for Charles Bronson's surprise 1983, nude killer slasher 10 TO MIDNIGHT. No clue what's happening in that SPRING FEVER poster, though!

New Giallo Review: CRIME OF PASSION (1994) ** 1/2
www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Crime-of-Pas...
"A quirky but often plodding mid-1990s Giallo largely missold as an erotic thriller. Filmed in Bulgaria, it features some of the biggest stars from the genre’s heyday."

Slashback Review: THE KILLER OF DOLLS (1975) ****
www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/hysterialive...
" ... a 1970s Spanish psycho-shocker that, at least in part, pre-empted the North American slasher cycle initiated by John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN (1978) .... a joyously demented thriller." #hysterialives
Some great double-bills back in the day! #hysterialives
New Review: SANKTA LUCIA (2024) **
www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Sankta-Lucia...
"Sporting a few creepy touches and some impressive cinematography for a lower-budget theatrically released production, this feels half-finished, with a running time of just over 70 minutes." #slasher #hysterialives
New Review: CAMP BLOOD (2000) **
www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Camp-Blood.h...
"Barely a couple of notches above a home movie, it is slightly elevated by a couple of near-decent performances and some hokey but halfway-effective gore gags." #slasher #campblood #hysterialives
New Review: NAUGHTY YOUNG PEOPLE (2010)
www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Naughty-Youn...
"Sporting a mystery with a solution so obvious that it must have been banged out on a typewriter with that double-ended mallet, it is slight in almost every regard conceivable." #slasher #hysterialives
New review: UNKNOWNS (2012) **
Full review: www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Unknowns.html
"This shot-in-LA Puerto Rican effort isn’t without slight merits but is too pedestrian to scare up much interest—and features a killer who is more Mr Blobby than Jason Voorhees." #slasher #hysterialives
