Featuring: occult investigator Harry Gross, masked wrestler turned crime fighter, the Mod Mutilator, & Kung-Fu spy Rex Jones! Face it cool cats!! The days of political correctness are over !!!!! The tough guys are back! hosted by the great Count Gore De Vol!! |
| Sucks to be a Vet , by F13 Productions-- A harrowing account of the trials of a handicapped junkie. The imagery & score are absolutely haunting. |
| The Guy What Stayed Around too Long, part of a film from Spooky Beercap--Though it's only the 1st part of the complete film, you won't be able to forget it. A nightmarish comedy about that guy ...you know this guy.....he showed up a your party once..... Musical Score by The Hillbilly Hoo |
| Plan 56: Wrath of the Bungalovian, by the 9Volt Collective-- Semi-surreal Horror/sci-fi effort from way back in '94. An oddly-shaped, interplanetary, undead hitman flies off the handle, throws his boss's orders in the trash, and follows his own freakish agenda.... |
| DIY or DIE!: How to Survive as an Independent Artist, by Michael Dean--this film is a celebration of the underdog. Featuring interviews with Lydia Lunch, Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat,Fugazi), J Mascis (Dinosaur jr.), Jim Rose (Jim Rose Sideshow), J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus), Mike Watt (Minutemen), Richard Kern (filmmaker) Ron Asheton (the Stooges), Madigan Shive (Bonfire Madigan), Dave Brockie (GWAR) and more. Next time you're trying to do your own thing, and you wonder if it's worth all the trouble, you'll want to remember this film, and what these people have gone through. (Yeh, it's worth it.) |

| Gary Buchannan , from Jentle/ Trainer Productions This is um...well...we didn't get a description with this one, & all attempts at describing it have ended in a profound silence. We recently lost a festival team member who, after viewing it twice, ran off to live in a teepee or something. Weird psychological effects, suspense, & entertainment guaranteed. Highly experimental (emphasis on the MENTAL), yet fiercly focused. Yes, even zero-budget films can be art. But not the 'artsy' kind of art. |

 |
| The Punisher & Goin' All Night, from Skatopia/CIA Skate videos. Not just skate videos, though. These tapes are compiled by the people of CIA & Skatopia, a place built by & for skaters. As they put it, "Skatopia is dedicated to providing a 24 hour skate haven. Freedom is the emphasis, not pads, waivers, or rules." Since 1996. The people responsible for this footage & the non-profit skate park tucked away in the hills will put ANYBODY to shame when it comes to independence & freedom. Teamwork, skating, explosions (with REAL dynamite) THis ain't no wanna-be Jackass shit. Jackass wishes they were this tuff. soundtrack by El Destructo, Donkey Punch, Uncle Scam, Johnny Cash, The Line C.S.S., Headcrush, Bunji Jambo, Liecus, Fear, & Kiss |
 |
| C.O.G. vs The Phantom, from the Consortuium of Genius Don't let the packaging fool ya. The people who made this are LORDS of low-budget video production. If you've ever wondered how far you can take a bluescreen & 3 labcoats, let this be your textbook. A mad scientist, his associates, & their 2-dimensional robot drummer take over the world through science & the occult. Funny, funny poop. |
| Bad Trip at Creepy Crick, from A.Ghastlee Ghoul Roger Corman meets Who's Line Is It Anyway ? as three rubes attempt a leisurely day of fishing (in a waterless stream), in a patch of woods that are the hunting grounds for the legendary "Giant Fish Monster of Creepy Crick". Filmed in 2 hours! |
| The Manster (re-editor's cut) , also from A. Ghastlee Ghoul Did you know A. Ghastlee Ghoul actually appeared in the 1963 "classic" The Manster ? That's right, but somehow all his scenes ended up on the cutting-room floor.Now you can see it, restored to it's original glory, and just bursting with Ghastlee goodness ! |
