aka: The Trance Of Diana Love
Two psychic researchers procure the services of a hooker (Pamela Duncan) and send her back in time under hypnosis. She then finds herself in the body of a past existence--a woman in medieval times waiting to be beheaded as a witch. By avoiding this fate, she unwittingly starts to alter history. Also stars Richard Garland and Allison Hayes. Also with Mel Welles, Billy Barty, Maurice Manson, Bruno VeSota and Dick Miller.

The events leading up to Allison Hayes' death are truly mysterious and bizarre. For decades, the official first reports of her death stated that she had died from a heart attack. But later it was determined that she had been poisoned from a calcium supplement that she had been taking, which was prescribed by her doctor. Allison Hayes last years were spent in a lovely ocean-front home in San Clemente California. She was home-bound for much of the time. A neighbor remembers only that "...she was an actress of some sort. She kept mostly to herself and was very concerned with her diet..." Her mother Charlotte lived with her much of the time. (Mr. and Mrs. Hayes had moved to California in 1953.) Allison entered the Scripps Medical Clinic in La Jolla California in October of 1976. After being examined, she was then diagnosed with leukemia. The cause could have been the calcium supplement that she had been taking daily for six years, or the many (over 340) X-Ray examinations she had taken in previous years to determine the cause of her illness. She was released just in time for Christmas on December 21st. 1976. She then had a periodic check-up on February 24th. 1977. Allison later drove herself to the hospital on February 26th. 1977 and checked herself in to receive a scheduled transfusion. This is something she had done often in prior years. The transfusion was started at 4:15 p.m. but was discontinued about 2/3rds of the way through because Allison felt chilled. She was also experiencing a multitude of flu like symptoms. She was in extreme pain by 11:15 p.m. that day. Allison was later taken by ambulance from the Scripps Clinic to the University of California Medical Center in San Diego at 3:15 a.m. Sadly, she later died there at 6:03 a.m. on February 27th, 1977. Her mother Charlotte joined her on October 1st. 1977.

The Undertaker

(1988)
$19.99 - Free Shipping In The USA
aka: Halalkereskedo
The Undertaker is a lost and forgotten horror film which stars character actor Joe Spinell. Here he portrays a crazy mortician with a penchant for necrophilia who stalks and kills beautiful girls.

Also available from Super Strange Video is an alternate version of this film, featuring different music and footage with girls in workout gear, under the title The Death Merchant.

This was to be Joe Spinell's last screen appearance. During the last years of his life, Spinell's choice of projects became increasingly suspect; for example, imprisoned serial killer John Wayne Gacy wanted Spinell to play him in a movie about his life. But with his only starring role in Maniac (1980) still on his mind, Spinell wanted to do a sequel to the film, and with New York filmmaker Buddy Giovinazzo, so they shot a 10-minute promo reel in 1986 titled Mr. Robbie. After a few years of hard work and searching, Spinell found financing for the sequel. But just as pre-production was to begin, Spinell suddenly passed away in his apartment in Sunnyside Queens, New York on January 13th, 1989, at age 52 due to undetermined causes. Still the subject of much speculation, some say he died of a heart attack because of his failing health in recent months due to his heavy drinking, drug use and the emotional turmoil resulting from his mother's death (who passed away in 1987). Others say he died from an asthma attack, or that he bled to death from an accidental (or deliberate) cut since he was a hemophiliac.
