Tune In Tuesday: Horror House On Highway Five


A mysterious killer, wearing a Nixon mask, terrorizes and murders a young couple. A professor assigns his students a project investigating the strange events connected to a possibly dead Nazi scientist, Dr. Fredrick Bartholomew. The doctor's assistant kidnaps students, holding them hostage and torturing them. Meanwhile, Nixon stalks the night!

This one's out of print but Worth finding.  The director has roots in punk rock and it shows. I Would have liked to make a movie like this, slasher elements of a killer in a Nixon mask mashed up with two weirdo brothers obsessed with V2 rockets, a assignment from a teacher that leads to kidnapping, a general sense of the absurd ala a ionesco play, but with a grindhouse flick filter. Worth watching several times. Commentary is a good time, director seems like a cool older guy who would tell you stories about cool punk clubs
 Of the early 80s..
