Dean Paul stars as a killer who meets his victims (Pamela Sutch and Laura Giglio) online and then arranges for a blind date with each of them. During one back to his place, he chloroforms her and takes her to his makeshift dungeon where he takes pictures of her to be sold on the Internet. Leaving her chained to a rack, he kidnaps the second girl from her own house when she decides not to return with him to his place. She finds herself bound and gagged and then also taken to the dungeon where she meets his other victim. More photos are taken and the women are chloroformed again and again and placed in different positions. Will they escape or die at the hands of The Blind Date Strangler?
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
