CARNIVAL OF BLOOD/CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN (FULL SCREEN)

Details

• Genre: Horror
• Plot: A lunatic on the loose turns Coney Island into a CARNIVAL OF BLOOD as he rids the world of hilariously annoying women via gory murders in the splatter style of Herschell Gordon Lewis. Investigating the bloodshed are Dan, a gung-ho district-attorney-in-training, and his reluctant fiancee, Laura. But — oops! — Laura turns out to be just as annoying as the victims and by the time Dan discovers a teddy bear filled with human entrails (!), Laura is riding the Wonder Wheel with the psycho killer who not only has a false face, but a weird mommy complex: 'I have to kill you, Mommy, I have to...' A strange little sickie, CARNIVAL OF BLOOD also stars Burt Young (you know, Paulie in the Rocky movies) as a hunchback named Gimpy.; ; Plus: When med student Mark Callahan inherits his uncle's Wild West tourist attraction, he also inherits the CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN. Though the creepy caretaker warns him that the place is haunted, Mark and his semi-hippie friends nevertheless move into the place and sure enough, the cranium-missing cowboy appears, terrifying the hippies by splashing blood on them from a severed head he carries. Really. With a decidedly trippy feel to it — indeed, the best scene has the horseman stalking a gal on acid — CURSE OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN also boasts a cameo by Warhol superstar Ultra Violet who wanders around carrying a Superman lunchbox.
