My Thoughts:
This is the second appearance of Art the Clown... him basically getting his own movie here. The story line is really good and the effects are decent. Of course, much like All Hallow's Eve, the gore is beyond excessive. I myself don't mind excessive gore but think the warning should be there for those who do. This movie proved that Art the Clown is anything but human. Which makes me want to know more about him. Makes me wonder if there is any back story on him in Terrifier 2. But alas I don't have that one.

In "Julie," an aggressive college student seduces and ultimately blackmails his seemingly shy English professor.

My Thoughts:
This is a TV movie from back in the '70s. Remembering back to when I was a manager of our local video store... this movie was in great demand. Unfortunately at the time I never got to see it myself as the store's copy disappeared and none of our distributors at the time could locate a new copy for us (this is back in the VHS days). So the first time I got to see this movie was when I first got it on DVD back in 2007. And I must say I enjoyed it very much!
The first story,Julie, Karen Black plays a College Professor who gets seduced and blackmailed (as the cover says).I liked how the student didn't have as much control over things as he thought he did. An enjoyable segment... but not my favorite.
The next story is Millicent and Therese where we have some sibling rivalry. This one, while I still enjoyed it, it wasn't as good as the first one. So this one has to be my least favorite segment of the movie.
The final story, Amelia, a woman falls prey to a murderous Zuni Fetish Doll. This is my favorite segment of the entire movie. It was very well done... especially for the time. And I just couldn't help but to get a kick out of that Zuni Fetish Doll. And as much as I liked that little guy... I must say the final scene is really what clinched this segment for me.
The DVD itself While good I am a little disappointed. The audio and video is just fine on my 20in standard TV. But I have a bit of a hard time with them calling this a special edition. All there is... is 2 featurettes and a commentary track. That seems to me a little slim to be calling it a special edition. But with that all said... I really enjoyed watching this movie again.

1.01 Episode 1
I loved this series as a kid. This was originally a Japanese anime, but it was completely recut and restructure by an American company. Even the names of the characters and the dynamic between them changed. In the original it was not Saber Rider who was the leader, but the young Japanese hothead.
