Revisiting Mountaintop Motel Massacre (1983; actually repackaged by New World and given that great crazy woman shooting a maniacal smile from behind a hotel door), I still think the idea of a walkspace within an underground tunnel moving shack to shack by the unhinged sickle-swinging mourning mama, who leaves snakes, big-ass Louisiana roaches, and rodents for her unsuspecting customers is really creepy and effective. Faces mangled and torn, snakebite face, sickle hand decapitation and throats slit, not to mention, the ghost of Mama's dead, black magic girl make up the slasher goods and surreal ending. A bad rainstorm and economic hardships bring the unfortunate customers to wacky mother's mountaintop motel. I caught this on Tubi, probably my favorite streaming site besides Shudder.
