1973, Directed by Richard L. Bare

Filmed in our latest worthless gimmick: ANAMORPHIC DUOVISION! Which is apparently a permanent split-screen effect, where one side shows what the murderer is up to whilst the other concentrates on the victims. And yes, all reports state that to be as confusing and distracting as it sounds.

The sub-Leatherface murderer in this outing has a really rubbish mask. It looks like he was trying to mould something out of rubber and it went horribly wrong, but he decided to use it anyway.

This trailer commits the cardinal sin of giving away the surprise at the end by showing the corpse gallery, thereby reducing any potential interest in the full movie to below zero. Also notice the odd editing decision near the end where it looks like the hero fires a man out of his gun and through a window.

Favourite bit: The “Wicked Wicked” song being sung by the worst lounge singer ever.

1965, Directed by David L. Hewitt

The voice-over goon is more interested in hyping “Fantastic Horror Vision” than actually telling you anything about the movie, which is a shame. The “Horror Vision” consisted of a chap in a gorilla suit running into the audience and making off with an actress planted in the cinema, who then ‘magically’ appear on the screen.

So, plotwise, some girls decide to spend the night in a haunted house, where they are abducted by a crazed scientist and his pasty-faced accomplice, and one of the girls is turned into a very unconvincing gorilla. Groooooovy.

Incidentally, none of the girls are actually wearing pyjamas. BLATANT FALSE ADVERTISING.

Favourite bit: The gorilla’s act when it wakes up on the table.
