UPDATE: We forgot to note a time-sensitive item in Friday’s “Weird Horizon” column. The label Cult Epics, distributors of the Certified Weird films Death Bed: The Bed That Eats, Nuit Noire, and I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse, as well as more “extreme” films (like the oeuvre of Nekromatik provocateur Jörg Buttgereit) is creating a commemorative hardcover book covering 25 years of the label’s acquisitions. While the work is fully funded through an Indiegogo campaign, there are still some rare perks to be had for those who sign up: signed DVDs, and the item that caught our eye, an advance release copy of the long-awaited title Death Laid an Egg, with a limited edition, signed copy of Bruno Maderna’s avant-garde soundtrack included as an Indiegogo exclusive.  Campaign ends April 27. Cult Epics Indiegogo Campaign.

Now, back to regular Pipeline business. Don’t forget to vote on which Summer Blockbusters to send Alfred and Aja Eaker to this year. (We’re supposed to be neutral, but it does warm our hearts to see Baywatch getting a push). You have until Thursday.

As for the rest of the week, Shane Wilson starts us off with a 366 Underground notice for the microbudget noir Road to the Well; Pete Trbovich kicks in a review from the reader-suggested queue with a look at the self-explanatory SLC Punk; and G. Smalley stays with the reader suggestions as he tries to crack the mysteries of The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb. Meanwhile, in preparation for his summer blockbuster adventure, Alfred Eaker checks out some definite non-blockbusters in his survey of exploitation film circa 1976, featuring Switchblade Sisters, Ilsa: She Wolf of the S.S., and Shivers.

It was a strange week in terms of weird Google searches that brought people to the site. At first, there was almost nothing truly demented (but see below), and then over the weekend we caught the oxymoronic search for “bestiality mainstream” and the even weirder (but no less depraved) query “movies full stories god of priest porn.” But we think that there can be no doubt that the winner of our Weirdest Search Term this week is one that is so epic in scope that it gets its own paragraph:

“hey what’s wrong alex ”i just got this from boss” ”what is it about” ”this girl she was murdered last night 1:16 am the window was broken” where is the broken windows located in the house” ”in the basement” ” that’ weird why the basement ” i don’t know but the weird thing about this whole cast is that there were 4 others girls and the girl he or she picked was the farthest room and close the the parents room ” well i don’t find that weird maybe he’s a picky murder ” enough with the jokes we need to focus why her” well let’s go to the cram seen ” that a good idea let go ” are u the parents ” ya ” will ”i’m officer sam” ”and i’m officer alex in very sorry for your lost’

Hmm… we were just getting interested when the searcher cut off his text.
