Maniac - Dwain Esper's Exploitation Classic - DVD New Sealed

Based partly on "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe, Maniac is also one of the most shocking and fascinating movies made in the '30s, pushing the boundaries of acceptable film production to its limits.

Created by the husband and wife team responsible for films such as Marihuana, Weed With Roots In Hell and others, Maniac was originally shown in burlesque theaters and roadhouses rather than at regular movie theaters.

The wild plot concerns a mad doctor who blackmails a former vaudeville impersonator into helping him obtain the corpses he needs to perform Frankenstein-like experiments.

Believe or not, Phyllis Diller has a role in this film!

1934/B&W/67 mins. Rated R.
