1,000 Convicts and a Woman (1971)

I've decided to post something a little different. Here's a bit of exploitation sleaze from the 1970s. The tagline for this little gem:
WHITE MAN...BLACK MAN...every MAN! To TAKE to BREAK or PLAY WITH any way she wished! Where did they come up with this stuff? Suffice it to say, I really can't find a review of it anywhere, so other than the poster, I have no idea what it's about. Amazon doesn't seem to have it available either.

Fright Night (1985)



Description from IMDB:
For young Charlie Brewster, nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie's favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn't really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money...
