Description

From the late 60s to the mid 90s you could always find a grindhouse, shoebox, or storefront theater running non-stop sleaze. Some were actually open 24/7 like that Den of Depravity, The Harem, which showed four continuous features. These theaters were creepy places: dimly lit, bathrooms a mugger s paradise, and a staggering array of human flotsam was on display including junkies, winos, low-end career criminals, hookers, drag queens, and homeless guys looking for a place to sleep. This DVD represents the way these grindhouse gems were shown - non stop! No intermissions, just film after film with the occasional short or trailer. Each film has been branded with burn spots, streaks, and breaks, all of it due to old projectors and the careless handling of projectionists. No one back then could have envisioned the impact that these films had. Granted they had shoddy production values, threadbare plots, and abysmal acting, but they were the forerunners of what is the adult industry today.
