Here we have Hallmark Releasing's first (and failed) attempt to sell Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham's new horror feature to the public. But you might recognize it more with its retooled title, art and promotional campaign:

 

The Grand Island Independent (February, 1973).

Is America Doomed? Will the Blood Flow Like Water?! This Man Sure Thinks So! (The Elizabethon Star, February 9 and February 13, 1972)

And here we have a limited roadshow engagement of some exploitation shocks and Commie-Baiting scares of a Higher Order courtesy of bible-thumper extraordinaire, Estus W. Pirkle, and the converted sleaze-merchant, Ron Ormand. Try a double-feature of this and the dynamic duo’s other convert-or-die screed A Burning Hell (1974) some time -- readily available on the highly recommended From Hollywood to Heaven: The Lost and Saved Films of the Ormond Family Indicator boxset. It’s quite the trip.
