Even more surprising is that it happened! Later that month BLOOD SCREAMS played a couple theaters. That's a title I never would've even searched. I thought it was DTV for sure.zmbdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317295014853615615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-13736310510113821162022-05-28T17:46:54.412-04:002022-05-28T17:46:54.412-04:00Alright, well that just opened up a whole other ca...Alright, well that just opened up a whole other can of worms!<br /><br />I saw the second listing for Confessions on IMDb with Dwyer listed as the director this time. I followed the link to a Confessions website promoting the director's cut and, low and behold, found this: "Mark Blair, the director of Confessions of a Serial Killer, was the pseudonym used by the film’s actual director, John Dwyer. Dwyer was working on a major project for Disney at the time and his agent urged him to use an alias to avoid any potential controversy generated by the graphic content of Confessions…"<br /><br />So now it all falls into place. That Disney movie was Captain Ron (1992).<br /><br />The magazine article I found that discusses "rumors" that the director "Mark Blair" died after "he fell off a mountain in Nepal" looks to be an intentionally planted fake story so Dwyer's identity wouldn't be found out. As for why the fake story involved Nepal of all things, there's a John Dwyer who's a prolific travel book writer (one of his books is called 'High Road to Tibet') and he's been published as recently as 2021, plus has his own website and blog that's been updated this year. So I'm assuming this is the same guy.

Oddly, it's mentioned a few times that John Dwyers is the director. Is imdb wrong here or is it these articles?zmbdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317295014853615615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-3079878998839258352022-05-27T20:08:36.225-04:002022-05-27T20:08:36.225-04:00It's certainly possible (actually LIKELY) it w...It's certainly possible (actually LIKELY) it was screened prior to the 1983 general release.

From what I've seen I think there's a good chance that this film's first screening(s) was in 1981 as THREE BLIND MICE and it also possibly had a test run as THE FOREST PRIMEVAL before it was shelved. I did find it was released in Canada as CAMP SITE MASSACRE, a title I thought was only used in the UK but the U.S. premiere is proving about as hard to find as DEATHDREAM's Florida preview engagements as THE NIGHT ANDY CAME HOME (which I'm convinced did occur but the area previewed lots of films and ads for most simply say SNEAK PREVIEW!).zmbdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317295014853615615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214930440884348127.post-39928255188323886222016-03-26T15:04:05.539-04:002016-03-26T15:04:05.539-04:00I actually DID like The Geek / Backwoods more than...I actually DID like The Geek / Backwoods more than Final Terror!

Speaking of really dark prints, I will hopefully be watching a cleaned up version of Humongous soon. I won't hold out hope it will be any better than this was. Oddly enough this is a fan favorite on the IMDb horror board.crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669900632326853467noreply@blogger.com
