Never finished or released movies like Maniac 2: Mr Robbie – a whole new level of “forgotten horror”.

Unearthing Forgotten Horror
Review: Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Since its initial release in 1983, Sleepaway Camp has developed a cult reputation, in part due to the film’s final reel twist, and in part due to its lead, Felissa Rose.
The Slasher Witch Hunt 6: The Slasher Law
Harpool claimed the law was designed to keep children under 17 from renting or buying any video that included graphic materials.
Review: Mirage (1990)
Mirage was a rather late entry into both the “car killer” and slasher realm, and it definitely reflects both roadster and stalker elements.
Lost Slashers: Pitchfork Massacre (1984)
The film played for one week then vanished. It has never been mentioned since… until now.
Small Screen Slashers: Isn’t It Shocking? (1973)
Before John Badham became the iconic director behind Saturday Night Fever (1977) and War Games (1982), he cut his teeth on the small screen.

Viva VHS: Body Count (1987)
During the heyday of slashers in the early 1980’s, countries around the world were eager to cash in on the boom. International production companies did everything within their power (and budget) to disguise their film’s country of origin, sometimes actually doing the extra paperwork, hopping on a plane, and shooting on location in the good [...]
Swinger’s Massacre (aka Inside Amy, 1975)
If I am ever able to go back in time to 1975, the first place I’m heading to is Filthy McNasty’s. Yes, I am. It is quite possibly the coolest and creepiest club I have ever seen. This is where the swingers of 70s Los Angeles meet and greet, and… uh… well, you know. The [...]
