Yes! I was going to post another to prevent number guessing, but you got it.

I'm hoping this post will be less enervating than my last one.

May is correct.



It's no surprise to me that someone got this right away, as just about every shot I took of this looked very distinctive. For some reason I was strangely drawn to this one (of May's problematic right eye):

Nope. These first two shots are from an effective sequence in an otherwise ineffective film.



Spoiler:
As half-assed as most of this movie is, this dream sequence is pretty well done, an an avant-snuff sort of way:

This movie has a varied cast; it has one cast member in common with a horror classic, another cast member in common with a sci-fi spoof that was used in a previous screenshot thread, and one cast member in common with porn.

This movie had a convoluted production history. It began life as a horror movie made by one filmmaker that was left essentially unfinished. After being purchased by a certain notorious production company, it was largely re-shot (and re-titled) by another filmmaker. Then - in order to cash in on what were then current trends in horror movies - more footage, a new title, new characters and a new subplot were grafted onto the existing film to make the one we see here. This movie saw some success on video, in no small part due to the non-existent movie connections insinuated by its title.

Raiders of the Living Dead (1986)

This movie has a varied cast; it has one cast member in common with a horror classic ...
Spoiler:
Zita Johann, The Mummy (1932). Nice 52 year gap between IMDB acting credits (1934 to 1986)!!!!

... another cast member in common with a sci-fi spoof that was used in a previous screenshot thread ...
Spoiler:
Robert Deveau, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)

... and one cast member in common with porn.
Spoiler:
Scottie Schwartz, A Christmas Story (1983), New Wave Hookers 5 (1997)

Pretty amazing that "Rockmoor Island" returned only two hits on Google

Intriguing fact:
Spoiler:
Six cast members have this and Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967) as their only acting credits (??????) Must be acquaintances of Robert Allen's ...


I'm reasonably sure this is correct; if so, then wildcard.

A fake location scribbled on a pre-existing map is just one of Raiders of the Living Dead(f/k/a Dark Night, f/k/a Dying Day)'s many charms. The Image 2DVD set offers all three versions of the movie and a commentary with all you'd ever want to know about this goofy hodgepodge of a film.

Sorry guys, I want to take all these wild cards and torture you with obscure movies, but I just don't have time anymore now that I am not a student.
