Michael Winner didn't just make violent movies and try to live only on steak tartare. He also made this comedy about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Won Ton Ton the Dog Who Saved Hollywood is one of the mid 70s movies that tries to put as many cameos in as possible and hopes that you won't notice the movie isn't all that great. Why am I doing an episode about it? Because these kind of movies are the ones I get obsessed about.

Skullduggery (also known as Warlock and Blood Puzzle) is a 1983 slasher where the devil uses a role-playing game and a cursed boy named Adam to kill people. Everyone works in a costume story and is involved in community theater. It came out on VHS from by Media Home Entertainment and Video Treasures.
Igor and the Lunatics was financed by Troma Entertainment and they disliked the movie so much that they did extensive reshoots. Just think -- a movie too poor for Troma! A cult made up of Paul, Igor and Bernard go to jail and when they get out, they start killing all over again.

Jing hun feng yu ye is a 1982 Hong Kong horror film that steals liberally from several movies, most notably Halloween. Known as Devil Returns, it's not available commercially outside of the gray market. Yet even though it's taking so many things from so many films, it has a pretty even handed discussion of post traumatic stress and postpartum depression within it, as well as an awesome karaoke scene.

Umberto Lenzi and Lucio Fulci made four movies for Italian TV. Well, that was the plan, because The House of Lost Souls, The House of Witchcraft, The House of Clocks and The Sweet House of Horrors were way too gory. While they were released on home video, it wasn't until Cauldron Films re-released these this year that the U.S. has had a high quality version of these movies. This episode gets into all four of the movies in a short burst that will help you decide whether you should buy this set.

You can buy the Houses of Doom set from Cauldron Films and on Diabolik DVD.
