Have you ever thought about committing murder?... If so, you may be overly susceptible to harmful suggestion and should not view this motion picture!
"Produced by low budget film legend Roger Corman, this psycho-type horror film about death cover-ups, phony psychic connections to dead little girls and axe murders that start during the reading of a will is a creepy classic." - Ken Kish, Video Wasteland: Rental, Reference and Review Guide
"Dementia 13 turned out very well, although Corman found it necessary, in his mind, to have Jack Hill shoot an additional axe murder to spruce things up a bit." - Fred Olen Ray, The New Poverty Row: Independent Filmmakers as Distributors
"Truly shocking gory axe murders, and lots of inventive photography." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia
Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13 is quintessential gothic horror, wrapped in the twisted mysteries of a family's deepest, darkest secrets. A widow deceives her late husband's mother and brothers into thinking he's still alive when she attends the yearly memorial to his drowned sister, hoping to secure his inheritance. But her cunning is no match for the demented axe-wielding thing roaming the grounds of the family's Irish estate in this cult favorite Roger Corman production featuring Patrick Magee and Luana Anders.
Plus a PansyVision short film: The Serpent Writhes in a Glass Coffin
Directed by Richard Griffin (Seven Dorms of Death)
In this thrilling episode our guest host Felix Feuchtwanger takes a look at the 1981 Italian horror film The Serpent Writhes in a Glass Coffin, which was filmed in America by an all Italian crew, but with an American cast. The screenplay was written in Italian, and then translated into French, then back into Italian and then finally into English. Something obviously didn't translate.
Then we interview the husband and wife writing/directing team, who really seem to hate each other with the fire of a thousand suns.
