Last House on Dead End Street (1977) with Will Sloan

This week, I'm taking a trip to a very different horror house - the Last House on Dead End Street! Will Sloan (Gold Ninja Video, the Important Cinema Club) joins us to talk about the cult film that had people sure it was snuff if it even existed, and the crazy backstory that lead to what we seen on screen, plus the movie's resurgence! We're also getting into how it plays with our cultivated sense of fiction like Funny Games, exploits Last House on the Left, and is ultimately totally unique. Don't miss out on this one!
