It's Nerds vs. Frats (again) when the Nerds use a wing-ding party as a recruiting tactic. The jocks are out to spoil the party and harass the nerds. This is a video-only release. ~ All Movie Guide

Here, the dope-smoking duo are working on an ice-cream truck, and their specially treated confections are more than just a hit for the kids. Nice Dreams is the third in the series. ~ John Bush, All Movie Guide

As children we're often warned to be careful what we wish for -- and when an embittered man's dreams of revenge begin coming true in this shocker from director Steve Latshaw, the results are a nightmarish physical manifestation of these caution-inducing words. As Wilbur Johnson (James Best) ponders his prospects for revenge under the bright lights of the carnival midway, he makes the acquaintance of beautiful sideshow dancer, Angel (Linnea Quigley). When Angel introduces Wilbur to a powerful sorceress capable of granting any wish, he hastily sells his soul in exchange for a mask that will inflict horrific sudden death on anyone who gazes upon it. As his revenge fantasy quickly spirals out of control, Wilbur must find a way to reverse a curse more powerful than he ever imagined. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Don't Go Near the Park begins in a cave 12,000 years ago, where an old crone with phony rubber hands curses her sinful children, Gar and Tre (Crackers Phinn, Barbara Monker). They will age ten years for every year of life and never die. To appear youthful, they must kill people by ripping their stomachs open and eating their guts. To end the curse, Gar must marry a woman and produce a virgin girl who will be sacrificed at age 16. The next segment follows Gar (now named Mark) as he hypnotizes his landlady (a young Linnea Quigley) into bearing him a child, Bondi. On her 16th birthday, Bondi is upset by her parents' fighting and runs away to Griffith Park, blowing up a van full of rapists along the way. In the park, supposedly cursed by the "demons of Los Feliz," Bondi is taken in by Patty, who is actually Tre in disguise. Patty lives in an abandoned ranch house with two other runaways. Cowboy (Chris Riley) is a handsome teen who shows Bondi his child-abuse scars and falls in love with her, while Nick is a sassy eight-year-old played by Voyager from the Unknown's Meeno Peluce, first seen as he tries to fondle Bondi in her sleep. Aldo Ray plays a writer named Taft who tells Nick about the park's curse, leading the three kids to try an escape. They end up in a corpse-filled cave, where Mark tries to rape Bondi until Patty hits him on the head with a rock. The witchy siblings shoot lasers out of their eyes at each other, then Bondi turns into their mother and causes all the corpses to come alive, devouring them. Reverting to her normal form, Bondi helps Nick and Cowboy escape the cave, but rips Nick's stomach open on a playground slide in a predictable "shock ending." Director Lawrence D. Foldes and co-screenwriter Linwood Chase appear as two of the van rapists, and their fiery demise at least provides some measure of revenge for the audience. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

At the peak of their popularity, there were nearly seven thousand drive-in movie theaters operating in the United States, where families could see a show in the great outdoors complete with popcorn and teenagers could park for a few hours without being bothered. While many drive-ins showed traditional Hollywood fare, the majority tended to screen exploitation movies -- horror, science fiction, biker flicks, soft-core sex -- especially in the Sixties and Seventies as they primarily became a center for young people. Rising land values and a decline in attendance has caused most drive-in theaters to close, but if they're largely gone they're not forgotten, and this documentary pays homage both to America's drive-ins and the sort of movies that often played there. Drive-In Madness includes trailers for dozens of vintage exploitation films as well as classic snack shop commercials and intermission "countdowns." In addition, a number of noted figures in exploitation film history talk about their work and their place in drive-in history; interview subjects include scream queens Linnea Quigley and Bobbie Bresee, Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero, gore effects wiz Tom Savini, veteran distributor Sam Sherman, and Famous Monsters of Filmland editor and horror movie expert Forrest J. Ackerman. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

In spite of some interesting names attached to this low-budget, embarrassing horror film (Rafael Buñuel, son of acclaimed Luis Buñuel is the co-writer and co-producer), the result is anemic. At the core of the story, seven athletes in training for the Olympics at the Falcon Academy of Athletics in Massachusetts are violently slain by a killer with a wicked javelin toss. Most of the women in the film are portrayed as lesbians (apparently a straight woman can do no more than wield a wicked crochet hook), or their gender is indeterminate because of the drugs they imbibe -- a side issue in the film. Clichéd, predictable, and lacking in suspense, Fatal Games was never released theatrically. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

This standard formula slasher-thriller involves an equal-opportunity psycho busily pitchforking both male and female members of a high-school track team. The killer's motivation is supposedly linked to a similar murder which occurred 40 years ago at an ill-fated graduation dance. This tedious time-waster scores a few brownie points by way of creative casting (be sure to catch Vanna White as one of the toothsome victims), but that's about it. Slasher movie completists may note the plot's strong resemblance to that of The Prowler, a lesser-known but far more stylish film released the same year. Future scream-queen-in-training Linnea Quigley appears in a small doomed-teen role. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Mardi Gras is supposed to be the ultimate party, but when the employees at a local Voodoo tourist trap begin turning up dead, it's up to a group of vacationing college kids to cast off their beads and catch a killer. Who could be responsible for this bloody killing spree? As the streets of New Orleans fill with revelers, the list of suspects continues to grow. Of course preventing the body count from getting out of hand is their top priority, but it isn't ever day that you get to party hearty at the biggest bash on the planet, so why not suck down a few Hurricanes before setting out to stop the bloodbath? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This Florida-lensed slasher silliness (not surprisingly produced by exploitation overlord Fred Olen Ray) is enlivened only slightly by posthumous cameos from John Carradine and Cameron Mitchell, as well as appearances from B-movie "Scream Queens" Linnea Quigley and Brinke Stevens. The plot is basically a riff on the standard Freddy Krueger-esque supernatural-maniac formula, only here the unstoppable psycho is merely a lumbering ghoul with a big pumpkin for a head, awakened from a cursed sleep on Halloween night by the usual handful of obnoxious teenage morons. Amid confusing flashback sequences and some phony occult blathering (courtesy of the town witch), we're told that Jack-O is the incarnation of a murdered farmer who has returned to avenge himself by taking a scythe to his killers' ancestors, but this particular pumpkinhead's people-reaping spree seems to cover a much broader swath, including a crop of nubile young things -- preferably just out of the shower, or fresh from a randy romp in the local cemetery. Even allowing for a certain camp appeal, there's not an original concept to be found amid the abundant nudity and severed limbs. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

In this tongue-in-cheek (and quite a few cheeks are shown) parody of the workout video craze, scream queen Linnea Quigley leads the audience through some healthy aerobic exercises -- while dressed in leather and chains. Later, at a slumber party, she leads her equally scantily dressed girlfriends in even more workouts while being watched by a homicidal party crasher. Later, on a jog through the neighborhood, she is pursued home by a gang of zombies -- whom she proceeds to lead through an aerobics class (but not without the obligatory shower scene!). All the while, clips from her numerous low-budget horror films are shown. ~ Brian Gusse, All Movie Guide

A woman finds her life is at stake when she learns the truth about her late husband in this action thriller. Susan Fredericks (Libby Hudson) is dealing with the death of her husband Alan, a successful lawyer, when she makes a startling discovery -- Alan was representing Richard Corliss (Miles O'Keeffe), a powerful and ruthless organized crime leader. While Alan was walking on the wrong side of the law, his conscience began to get the better of him, and he decided to go to the police with what he knew about Corliss and his business; Corliss' enforcers killed him before he could talk, but not before he made up a computer disc that duplicated the financial records for all of Corliss' illegal businesses. When Susan finds the disc, she becomes the next target for Corliss and his men, so police detective Zoe Crowe (Sue Ball) is assigned to protect Susan by the city's district attorney (Linnea Quigley), who is determined that Susan will testify in court about what her husband knew. But Crowe isn't aware that one of her partners on the force, O'Malley (Burt Ward), is a gambler deep in debt to Corliss' loan sharks, and that O'Malley isn't above doing a hit against Susan in order to clear his account. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
