Lost and Found: The Majorettes

Fun facts: The Majorettes (1986) was written by the cowriter of George Romero’s seminal Night of the Living Dead (1968) and directed by the actor who played the cemetery zombie in that same film. A nice pedigree that surely must bode well for The Majorettes, right? Well, ah, not quite. No, those trivia nuggets mean … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Majorettes

Lost and Found: Hell Night

In which the always spunky Linda Blair and a motley crew of likable teenagers spend one "Hell Night" in a haunted mansion and, you guessed it, horror ensues! The supernatural slasher Hell Night (1981) is weirdly underrated. It’s rarely mentioned among other great slasher films from the genre’s peak years, circa 1978–1982. Halloween kicked off … Continue reading Lost and Found: Hell Night

Lost and Found: Vice Squad

We’re back with more buried treasure from the Lost and Found, and once again we’re wallowing in the supremely sleazy streets of early ‘80s downtown Los Angeles.

With a title like The Swinging Barmaids (1975), this sexploitation stunner sounds like it should be a lighthearted seventies sex-romp. In actually, it’s a taut and nasty little slasher/crime thriller. Written by Charles B. Griffith—of … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Swinging Barmaids

Lost and Found: The Night Before

In which young and hot Keanu Reeves accidentally sells young and hot Lori Loughlin to a pimp! Also in which young and hot Lori Loughlin is chained to a bed in nothing but her sexy prom night bra and panties! As Uncle Jesse would say to Aunt Becky on Full House, “Have mercy!” Suburban high … Continue reading Lost and Found: The Night Before

Lost and Found: Angels of the City

Welcome back to the Lost and Found sweet spot, friends! You know what that means—we’re back on the gritty and glittering streets of Los Angeles, circa 1990, with hot prostitutes (or, in this case, hot college girls pretending to be hot prostitutes) and dangerous pimps in tow—meaning we have all the ingredients for primo late … Continue reading Lost and Found: Angels of the City
