Wheeler (John King III) is a sociopathic career thug who has been summoned to a small town to abduct a retired oil millionaire. He and a local yokel named Slick (Tommy Lamey) are simply to hold William Phillips (Herschell Mays) in a remote cabin for 48 hours until the ransom is delivered, but Wheeler has a nasty violent streak, and will kill at the slightest provocation. He experiences tormented flashbacks to a traumatic childhood event concerning his prostitute mother, and becomes unglued when crossed. Wheeler cons his way into the good graces of the local sheriff (Jack Collins), who regards him as a harmless, friendly drifter, even after discovering Phillips' broken glasses discarded in a field. While Wheeler ventures into town to score some grass at a local pool hall, Phillips escapes into the woods, with Slick in hot, but clumsy, pursuit. Meanwhile, the millionaire's daughter (Candy Dee) is at the family home, preparing for a party to announce her engagement to the very man who has arranged this kidnapping. Wheeler arrives, talks his way in, and is compelled to kill. Will the sheriff put all the pieces together in time to save the town from this bloodthirsty Texan? ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

This low-budget horror anthology from Oklahoma presents a quartet of eerie tales, told by a strange mortician (Ivor Francis) to a young man on the run from his lover's irate husband (John Ericson). The tales involve a crotchety old woman whose hatred of children sparks an attack from a group of homicidal kids; a "Spy vs. Spy" detective story; a foul-tempered curmudgeon who gets his violent comeuppance in a grim variation on "A Christmas Carol"; and a serial killer with a penchant for photography a la Peeping Tom. Young Ericson's sins are not forgotten either, as we learn at the film's creepy climax. A passable home-grown omnibus, comparable with the similarly themed Chillers or Screams of a Winter Night. Released to video as House of the Dead. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

For those who are willing to sit through an awful film to answer the title question, Dracula has become the ultra-hip owner of a prominent Hollywood discotheque, Dracula's Castle," were he hosts wild, drug-filled parties. The story centers on a young actor who offers to give his lovely girl friend to the old blood-sucker in exchange for success and stardom. Many of the dance scenes were shot on location in the notorious Hollywood dance club, the Magic Castle. Though originally released with a PG rating, an R-rated version, featuring a more graphic orgy scene and homosexual activities is supposedly around. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Racially-oriented motorcycle gangs battle it out in this violent film when a black biker spy infiltrates the white gang. The real-life Choppers were hired for this feature. Not to be confused with the 1970 Bulgarian film whose English language title is Black Angels. ~ Kristie Hassen, All Movie Guide
