42nd Street Pete's list of the 100 craziest films he saw on 42nd Street.
"42nd Street is now a legend. Everything that made that notorious block cool is gone. Only the films, the lifeblood of the grindhouses, survived. Well, at least some of them did. Old-school exhibitors and producers never saw anything beyond releasing the film once, then maybe pairing it with another film a year later. Then the prints were shelved, put in storage, or just plain lost. They never envisioned the explosion of home video.
One guy saw the potential of putting these films on video. Mike Vraney created Something Weird Video, and the rest is history. He saved hundreds of films from being lost forever. Being that if it weren't for Mike and Something Weird Video, I dedicate what might be my last work to him. The only other company with a true passion for grindhouse films is Grindhouse Releasing, created by the late Sage Stallone and Bob Murowski."
