The Evil One
Some Urban Legends Don't Seem to Die
Genres
Overview
Chicago's Englewood is a neighborhood where death is an everyday reality, but a serial killer on the loose has raised the terror quotient tenfold with the brutality of his crimes. When a newspaper photographer uncovers evidence linking the murders to the past, however, the intimations are almost unthinkable. Herman Webster Mudgett Jr., who was buried face down in the late 1800s after achieving the distinction of becoming America's first serial killer, seems to be back and out for revenge. The intrepid reporter has a personal stake in the mystery, as her mother was murdered by a descendant of Mudgett's; she sets out to discover if the urge to kill has been passed down in the blood, or if the culprit is truly from beyond the grave. This hip urban thriller strikes an effectively creepy mood, and features a talented cast that is almost entirely African American.

Demons Rising

The Devil's Pet
Never officially released, this stars Jeff Conaway and Gini Dante as exploitation filmmakers having a little improvised "My Dinner With Andre" style conversation in a restaurant in hell. There are animated bits and Julie Strain has a co-starring part and gets to sodomize a man. Often confused with "Queen of Lost Island;" another Jackson film made around the same time that itself went unreleased for over a decade until it showed up on DVD under a different title.
