The world managed to almost lose it all. What was not destroyed we retooled or recycled it, only to have something more menacing turn on us. They say the older you are the wiser you should be. I guess that depends on who they are.

TEXAS ROAD
Director: Ken Amlin

Texas Road is a road in Amherstburg, Ontario long rumored to be haunted. The road is now developed and many residents live on this road without incident. The street has a dead end that leads to a small trail to a graveyard. Local legend has many stories of just what hands Texas Road. In one story, a woman was murdered by her husband with a cleaver after he suspected her of infidelity. According to the legend, her head was never found, and her spirit wanders the road and the cemetery looking for it. Others say they have seen a ghost car, a disappearing hitchhiker, or evidence of witchcraft activity.

The say that when the moon is full, the freaks come out to play! On the eve of the full moon, this strip club is electric with energy; the money is flowing and talks of outlandish customers are a buzz in the dressing room. When Audrey--a young, beautiful and rather modest stripper--comes into work and finds herself amidst dark and mysterious company, her night soon turns into something far freakier than what she bargained for. The ecstasy in the air follows her on her journey home, when she is suddenly mugged and is forced to run after the assailant, where she is kidnapped into a completely new reality that is more ghoulish, gory, and strangely glamorous than she has ever known...Â
