Episode 060- Slave to the Grindhouse with 42nd Street Pete Chiarella

Oh, to have been there in the heyday of Grindhouse Cinema!  Rows of theaters on New York's 42nd Street playing classics such as I Drink Your Blood, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS, Three on a Meathook, The Corpse Grinders, and more. These movies are the stuff of cinema legend, and late night video parties...and so are the theaters and audiences that experienced them!   And our guest today, 42nd Street Pete Chiarella, was there for the highs and lows (and sleazy lowdowns) of it all.  Pete, the creator of Grindhouse Purgatory magazine, has lots of stories to tell, and he was kind enough to join me to talk about the filmmakers, the movies, The Deuce, and the Lost Hustler Spirit of New York City.  I invite you to listen in, and experience some real Grindhouse legend. Take a hilarious trip through the gory, sexy, sleazy history of 'The Deuce" of the 1970's with tour guide 42nd Street Pete!   I hope you enjoy the episode.   Join the Hellbent for Horror Horde on Patreon!
