by Stephen Thrower Between 1970 and 1985, American exploitation movies went berserk. With censorship rules relaxed and the gate to excess wide open, horror offered a vibrant alternative to the mainstream of American cinema, from the drive-ins of Texas to the grindhouses of New York. Massively popular around the world, these films touted a combination of mind-bruising violence, weird sex, and drug-soaked delirium. These films shocked the conscience and added to America's rich film history, but they have defied cinematic study until now. Nightmare USA explores the development of America's subterranean horror film industry, spotlighting some of the wildest films imaginable. Stephen Thrower has explored the attics and cellars of American cinema, delved beneath its floorboards, peered between the cracks in the walls, searching for the strangest, most exotic cinematic lifeforms.
