    Welcome to Rise of the Gay Cinephile's alphabetical journey through all 72 films on the Video Nasties DPP List!

    This week is a "don't" special episode and we're discussing Joseph Ellison's creepy character study, Don't Go in the House; James Bryan's goofy slasher b-movie, Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!; Lawrence Foldes' bottom of the barrel trash cannibal film, Don't Go Near the Park; and S.F. Brownrigg's highly problematic yet massively boring Don't Look in the Basement.
