RIP Rex Reed: Reed, one of the last of the celebrity film critics, had atrocious taste and relished making enemies, but was always a reliable indicator of a great weird movie (the more Reed hated a movie, the more of a classic it was). Here is a nice remembrance from a friend who knew and liked him.

Scarlet Warning 666 AKA It Happened One Weekend, Scarlet Love  (1974-1996): This legendary lost film from one Palmer Rockey (who claims to play 7 roles in the film), laughed off the screen at its premiere in Dallas, is an apparently incomprehensible tale of spy antics, twins, and Satanism.  Very few have seen this, but one of them was the Church of the Subgenius’ , who raved, “NO MAN can even barely begin to conceive of the PURITY OF PSYCHOSIS displayed by this  motion picture without actually seeing it.”  Buy Scarlet Warning 666.

WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE:
