What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)
Feb 22, 2005Batty Old Dames Psycho-Thriller
Psycho-thriller featuring a mad Bette Davis torturing her sister Joan Crawford. This held considerable shock at the time for seeing two former glamorous Hollywood stars beyond their glory days and going nuts. The film's success inspired a whole fad of imitators

Trog (1970)
Jan 18, 2005Revived Caveman
