Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971)

Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is a low budget horror movie that keeps you guessing. It’s in the same vein of movies like The Haunting or even Jacob’s Ladder, in that you’re never quite sure what’s going on. With the main characters sanity thrown into question early on you feel much like Jessica, not knowing whether or not the events really happened or if it’s all just a product of her head.

The Tempest (1979)

The Tempsetmarks the point where I realized that TCM, in fact, has absolutely no trouble showing nudity of any kind on their channel. Granted, this aired at 2am and not during prime time, but the point is, they don’t have a problem with it. In The Iron Rose they showed a fully nude woman walking along […]
