I got tons of it on my shelves, most of which has yet to be seen! Haha!

Dark Night of the Scarecrow sounds awesome! I’ve seen the movie poster before, so I know I’ve come across it at least once. The director of that one directed a WWII flick I own (have yet to watch) called Anzio with Robert Mitchum. Cool!

I know you review a lot of exploitation, but I didn’t really realize that that was “your thing”. I think you’d get along well with my roommate. Every once in a while I’ll sit in with him while he watches this type of movie, and you’re right, they’re generally pretty entertaining. Plus, as a filmmaker, it’s good because you get to see the creative workarounds that people use to stay within budget, even though their script might have big aspirations. Watching a $100 million action flick is cool, but it doesn’t really teach you a lot about how you might be able to make your own movie.
All that aside, I think one of my favorite exploitation flick that I’ve seen so far with my roommate was “Dark Night of the Scarecrow”. It’s about a mentally retarded man that is falsely accused of killing a young girl, then is gunned down while hiding, disguised as a scarecrow in a corn field (these might seem like spoilers, but it’s all pretty straightforward). Then, he comes back to life as the scarecrow and tries to exact revenge on the people that killed him. Pretty great stuff.
