many titles, many lives
This 70’s movie is a dark comedy initially entitled The Folks at Red Wolf Inn and it’s been reincarnated with many titles usually using the word terror. How do you sell a movie which is a love story about cannibals to the public? They don’t call it “Show Business” for nothing!

Decades later I learned of the many lives and alias’ of The Folks at Red Wolf Inn and that it played repeatedly during the predawn hours, creating a brand new audience of young insomniacs, worldwide!
I always wanted to be in a French movie, I didn’t know I already was !
One of the best things about this discovery is meeting Bill Van Ryn of Groovy Doom who publishes Drive-In Asylum. He devoted an issue of the horror fanzine to the film. Bill along with his friend Sam Panico host watch parties on YouTube.

Spicing things up, Italian Style !
The Mahoning Drive-In featured the film on their Weekend of Terror festivities. It was both real and surreal. sitting in a car with Bill eating raisinettes and watching my 20 something self on screen during a full moon in a field in Pennsylvania.
So in honor of the occasion I wrote cookbook for cannibals and Sam Panico illustrated it.
…….. a film by any other name….
